University of Houston Libraries

We offer access to Pressbooks for the creation of OER. Pressbooks is a Wordpress-based OER authoring tool that allows you to:

• Embed multimedia and interactive content
• Incorporate accessibility features
• Make your OER available in multiple formats (web, PDF, EPUB, etc.)

The platform is available to UH instructors who want to create their own course materials or adapt existing OER.

Quality Checklist for Creating OER

Use this checklist as a guide when creating your open educational resources. The Open Education Services Department will conduct a light review of your completed resource(s) to identify updates needed before depositing your OER to the UH Cougar ROAR Institutional Repository. This may be a review of only a portion of your OER rather than the entire resource(s).
