 So what we're looking at here is the press books dashboard once the user has logged in. So if you have a press books account, whether it's through your university or whether it's an open source hosted network or whether you've gone to pressbooks.com and just created your own book, what you'll generally see when you log in is a dashboard that looks something like this. And the first thing that a user could do if you just want to get started and have never done anything in press books before would be to create a new book. So from this menu there's an option that says create a new book and you'll be brought to a screen like this. You won't see a big list like this because you probably will be doing it for the first time but it will give you a bit of instructions and it will say you're going to choose a web address for your book to live. This is where people will be able to find your book once it's published to the web and it will be a more or less permanent address for your book so choose it carefully. It needs to be at least four characters and it can only contain numbers and letters. So in this particular case I'm going to call this a webinar demo book and the initial part will be the name of your network so whatever your pressbooks network is you can't change that you're just adding the last bit of the URL and we'll give this book a title it's going to be called webinar demo book. You can specify a language if your pressbooks installation has multiple languages installed you may be working in a target language that's not English or Spanish maybe French maybe any of the languages that we support so in this case I'll say my books in English and I'm going to start by choosing not to make my book public yet but later I'll show you how to make it public. So the first step is creating a book and once you've created a book you'll see it takes a couple of seconds here because I'm screen sharing recording but I will have now have an empty bookshelf that I can start to work in. So here I've got started in my book and I have an empty shell and you're going to see in my dashboard here now I have my books and I can see all the books that I belong to and I will also see this is the dashboard for the book that I'm working in right now the webinar demo book and along the left hand side of the the menu is a big inside of the book dashboard and this is where all the magic happens for my book. The first thing I'm going to do though is visit my book's home page so I will now know that at integrations.pressbooks.network webinar demo this is the home page the landing page for my book and this book is kind of boring looking because it's just vanilla right there's like a placeholder cover there's almost no information there's a tiny table of contents almost no book information and no metadata. If I were to go to a a better not a better but a more fleshed out book like let's say I would go to guide to publishing or guide to making open textbooks with students or guide to making open textbooks so far this is a really nice book so here's an example of what a home page might look like if I've done a bit more work you'll see it the title some authors or editors a cover the books available for download and all these different formats a description the the license that the book was published under in this case a creative commons license I can jump right into the book and read or I can view the table of contents collapse the sections and jump into whatever I want to read I can see even more book information including subject and then at the bottom there'll be a bunch of metadata or information about this book a publisher publication date ISBNs subjects contributor editor authors and so forth so the thing I want to show you next is well how do we get from sad empty book to good finished published book the way that we would do that is from our dashboard we're going to start by clicking on the book info information and book info will be anything that we want to appear on the book home page or be associated with the book is metadata we just start entering in this form so I might say I want to list a new contributor so this would be someone who's made a contribution to this book since Joel was the first person to talk in this webinar I'm going to pick on Joel and I'm going to add Joel as an author of this book I know Joel from graduate school so I think it's probably fair so I've added Joel glad and I'll come back to book info now and I'll say the author of this book is actually Joel glad and I'm the editor and then I'll scroll down and I'll say the publisher of this book it's steel press publisher city I'm in Madison publication date let's say this is going to be published on April Fool's Day perfect and if I have an ISBN or a DOI I can enter it I don't have one for this book right now I can set a language I could upload an image a cover image it gives me a little bit of instructions for what to do there I can choose a subject for this book this book is going to be about software it's about word processing software sure and then I could pick other subjects I could say the copyright holder here I'll say it's Joel and Joel what copyright license would you like to license this book under uh let's do what is the creative comments 4.0 what would that be similar to yeah probably CC the most common would probably be CCBY okay so Joel's choosing a very permissive copyright license your great choice Joel I appreciate it so we just chosen CCBY and if we wanted to you could list another copyright notice that lets people know how you want the book to be cited or anything else about copyright or permissions you want to listen you could add a short description this is going to be a fun book and a long description here and I'm going to save all this information so I just wrote a bunch of stuff about my book and now you'll look if we visit the book's home page you'll see oh okay here's the title here's the author here's that short description I wrote it's now saying that it's listed under a creative commons CCBY license and down below we have a bit more metadata that we've entered publish your publication date subject author editor and that's basically how you enter information that can be done at any time for your book and that's where you get started adding metadata or other information I'm going to pause and say I got a couple messages okay so so Val says what's the status with private versus public access to a book that we create great question Val so if this this book right now is private which means that if you were to visit this URL and you were not logged in so for example let me log out what you would see is I'm sorry this book is private and accessible only to registered users all right so then I'd have to log in and if I had the right permissions I'd be able to see the book so that's the major difference between public and private for a book itself you can also let me show you just a second so now I'm logged back in if I want to the next big menu where everything happens is the organized menu so I come to the organized menu and I can see at the top I have a global privacy status let me toggle that to public now if you were to visit this website and not and be not logged in you would see oh there's a book here and here's the content in that book I've just made the book globally public I can also go in and make any one of these chapters private so that a part of the book was public and a part was private so hopefully that answers the question that you have there Val any other questions so far about metadata or public versus private all right so I'm going to jump back into actually but still I had one cool question about that is there a semi-private option where you can release it to a select group of unregistered users yes there is I'm glad that you asked so okay let me show you so there's a couple of different things that you can do when we're looking at this menu right here you're going to see there's a bunch of content this is the table of contents for my book so right now there's it's very bare bones I just made an empty book so I have an introduction which is a couple words a chapter a section here of our part we would call it and in a piece of back matter I can see right here by clicking this this is going to meet and decide whether that piece of content is visible or invisible to the web to logged out users so this is the private public toggle for an individual chapter if I had multiple chapters I could select them all and unselect them all by clicking on the heading as well but if I go inside the chapter you're going to see there's a couple of different status and visibility options there's the same choice about whether it's shown in the web or shown in exports and there's also a require a password setting so if you wanted to make this visible to people that didn't have accounts but had some other protection you could just put a password on it and the password might be demo and I'll save that so that what will happen now is I'll show you I'll open this chapter this content is password protected so if someone visits this on the open web they have to type demo here and now okay we know who they are they can read the content that would be the way that you'd make content semi-public if that's what you wanted to do okay I'm going to take you back to the organized page and I'm going to say all right so now I have a shell of a book how do I get content into my book well the first and most common way would be well maybe I have something already written elsewhere many of us will work in word processor documents or work in Google Docs or work in some other creative or some other word processing thing where we have a document already written so I'm going to say let's say I have a word document that's a common way that people work we're going to come in this book down to tools and we'll click import and you'll see a bunch of different kinds of documents can be imported I'm going to pick word document or open office let's pick word document first and then I'm going to pick the file I want to upload so on my computer I think I have one called demo files and I have a chapter that's ready to import so I'm going to pick this word document and I'm going to say begin import this document press books parsed and it says oh we think this is broken into six different sections do you want which of these do you want us to bring in as chapters and I'll say yeah let's get all of them and let's show these pieces in the web so I'm going to import this so what press books is doing is importing that word document and now all that content I'll erase the old chapter one so it's not confusing but here's the content I just imported and brought in so for example if you were to view this you'd be like oh this used to be in a word document now it's in press books this is a heading here's a footnote even that came in a block quote I go to the next chapter I could even bring in text in columns there's a link in there if I go to the next chapter this is bulleted lists we start to get into chapter headings this is from Kafka's the metamorphosis so if you see Greg or that's what we were reading about and you can see oh we brought in a bunch of content here just through the word import again the way that we did that was came from admin tools import Joel asked a question a second ago that says does hypothesis work with the password restricted option the answer is yes and we'll talk about hypothesis a bit later but the answer to that is yes okay so we've just imported some content from a word document another thing that we could do is we might find a book in press books that exists as that has these downloads available so I'm going to grab the press books xml which is the whole book that I can import via xml so I could also come here and say let's take part of this book and let's import it here by doing an xml import and so I'll pick the file that I just downloaded it's in my downloads folder okay and I will say begin import and so press books is oh okay we found this really big book how much of this do you want to bring in well all I'm really looking for are these oar can conversations and oar examples so I've just picked just two chapters from an existing book and I'm going to import those into press books now so if you have an existing press book it's really easy to import if you have a file available and I'll show you in just a second a couple of other options to bring content in that are importing and so that import finished up and now oar conversations and oar examples an exact editable copy has just been brought in for me here's another book that I really like this was by Terry Green who works supporting open pedagogy in Canada at Fleming College it's called the open faculty patchbook it's this really beautiful community quilt of pedagogy it's available under a ccby license and it's in press books and I was reading this the other day and there was a chapter that's in development but I really liked it it's called being kind online so Jessica O'Reilly has written a few strategies to promote productive online student behaviors I love this chapter I'd like to bring it in I noticed on this book it's got a ccby license but it didn't have the downloads available so what I'm going to do here is I'm going to say okay I'm going to grab this URL right here or I'll even grab the URL of the whole book and here I'm going to say I'm going to come to tools and import sorry tools import and this time I'm going to say a web page or a press books web book and I'm going to import from the URL so just paste the URL and now press books is going to use our API and talk to that book and say okay we've located the book which part of this book did you want to get and I want the be kind online chapter so I will say import that and the author I just had a question in the chat this is when you import another press book via xml does it also update the contributor for attribution the answer to that is yes and also it depends so let's take a look at this be kind online chapter so I'm going to look at this and you'll notice the author Jessica O'Reilly came in as the attributed author who is also attributed originally the other thing that I went too fast to show you was when we import via this method let me go ahead and put that URL back again you also have the option to grab the books metadata generally if it's if it's available sometimes you could grab the book information or part of the book and bring it out okay so Val asked another question will importing a book with cc limits such as uh no uh nc automatically follow the section and force the whole book to be nc that's another great question so the answer to this is no I'm going to get to licensing in a little bit more detail a little bit later if you're okay waiting I it's probably easier for me to share that in a little later in the order okay so what I've just shown you so far though is content in three different forms a word document uh what else did I show you uh an xml file from pressbooks and an open pressbooks web book and we can import it in chunks the other thing we could do is we could actually start with the whole book here's another great pressbooks project this was written by Mike Caulfield it's a book all about information literacy and web literacy for fact checking certainly now is a time to be thinking about this and be aware of this with the kind of uh present discourse around a lot of different things but here's a great book it's published again under a cc by license and it's got tons of great chapters I might want to start with this book just the whole thing and so I'm going to say let's take this whole book and rather than importing it into an existing book I'm going to come to my books and say clone a book and I'm going to give it the source url and I'm going to say fact I'm going to say web literacy is the name of this book okay great the url on my network and I'm going to click clone it and now what pressbooks is doing is the api for my network is talking to the other network and it says is there a book of this address and it says yes he says okay great is that book public and it checks and says yes does it have a creative commons license that allow that would allow me to make a copy without permission or granting me permission and it says yes and now pressbooks saying great okay here we go now I'm getting the whole book so it's going to go get the metadata it's going to get the attribution information it's going to get the content in the books it's going to get the images it's going to get the embedded uh if it has a interactive content it's going to go grab the h5p activities and bring those over everything that it can grab and bring over it will grab and bring over and we're waiting because it takes about a minute or so especially as I'm screen sharing okay I'm going to look at the chat now maybe and take a couple questions while we wait for this to wrap up um uh someone else asked maybe you'll answer later but wondering about importing a word document with end note references will it preserve their hyperlinks to the end bibliography in the word document um probably not though it depends I I'm not really sure what will happen with end note references a lot of things that happen in microsoft word are kind of unique to word and it's very difficult to translate them to other software what I will point out though is we have a very nice guide to using press books I will drop this in the chat um if I can find the chat so let me send this to everyone here is the chat link to the guide and in the guide there's a great chapter it's all about it's called short codes and short codes are these magical things that let you um use a short code in your word document and it will turn it into the right html element in press books so when you saw that document that I showed you that I imported from word the the way I was able to make headings was by in word just writing heading close heading and it turned it into a heading like this you can do that with code you can do it with emails you can do it with law tech equations or math you can do it with block quotes footnotes and other kinds of things so if you format it like this in your word document then yes it will work if you format it in some other way it's if it's a link generally it will work but if it's using a complicated system like maybe you have an end note integration or a footnote I can't speak to that exactly but I will say this guide chapter may be helpful for answering that question there's also a guide chapter about advice for preparing formatting a word document before you import it and both of those are up to date and should be pretty helpful okay so I come back to my clone it told me success I cloned this book Val also reminded us remember to note what you've changed in the clone book if you plan to publish an edited book make it easy to distinguish the version that's great advice Val and I can show you in a little bit later some tools that help make that really easy so here's this book I've made an exact copy of this fact this web literacy for student fact checkers it's still authored by Mike Caulfield still has the Creative Commons license the big difference is it's on my network now rather than the original network you'll also notice that we've automatically included a source statement which tells people this book is a cloned version of the original with a link it was published under a ccby license it may differ from the original so we're trying to follow automatic good practices of giving attribution when we make a clone in that particular case so that's important content and cloning content great okay so I'm going to jump in and we're going to go back to my test book here on my network so it's uh what did I call it I think I called it webinar demo book okay so here's my webinar demo book from the organized menu I'm going to say I would like to create a new part or a new section in this book and I'm going to add a part and I'm going to call this section two demo fun I don't know that's a terrible section name but it's what I came up with I'm not real creative on the fly okay so I've created a new section or a new part in this book and I'm going to start by moving some chapters down into that part and and I'd actually like OER examples to be come first so I could click move up I changed my mind I want OER conversation that's good so you can move pieces of content between parts or between sections like that the other thing that I can do is I can create a new chapter so that's what I'm going to do now I'm going to create a new chapter by clicking add a chapter this chapter is going to be a demonstration of the editor and I'm going to click create I've just made the chapter you'll notice that a few things are available for me in this menu here first I'm in the regular text editor and most people will probably want to work in the visual editor so you just click that tab and you what you'll see now is a whizzy wig or a visual editor it'll look a lot like Microsoft Word or a word processor if you use one before the first thing I might want to do is add a heading so I'm going to say what's this going to be about music around the world there are many musical traditions oh my goodness so I've added a heading here and then there's a paragraph and I could add a new paragraph I could also say let's make this bold and let's make this italicized let's start to add a bulleted list list item one Bulgaria China Mozambique etc right I can add a numbered list I can add a block quote I can then turn some of these things into a link so for example let's make this a link by clicking on this link button and typing the URL I want to link to press books.org so I've just made a link there that's in my book the other thing that I may want to do is add a kind of special format so there's a bunch of kind of pre-formatted options that are common for book publishing for example this were a work cited page I might want to apply the hanging indent so it's all formatted like a work cited page I might want to make a poll quote if I'm trying to make it look more bookie um and then there's a number of text boxes so these text boxes are pretty fun so I'm going to come in and add a text box and the first text box I want to add is a learning objectives text box boom it's made a pre-made learning objectives text box so in this section in this chapter you will learn how to let's say how to recognize the major musical traditions of the world how to identify some of the primary differences and rhythm and instrumentation I don't know etc etc now at the bottom I might want to say okay now I've got learning objectives let's add another text box that's going to be key takeaways and here in between I'm going to add okay so let's after this list here I'm ready to add another heading and this would be a second level heading it's going to say music of Scandinavia there are many countries in Scandinavia all with unique musical traditions right and then I'm going to say let's make a text box and let's call this one examples so there's an example text box and I might say example Iceland and then I would I'd be like York obviously right because that's the first example I think it was Iceland all right now I might say okay what else do I want to put in this chapter so I've got some text boxes and then I'm going to say well one thing that might enhance this would be some visual examples so the first thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to go to creative commons image search and I'm going to look for something so I'm going to look for Icelandic music or this is this is nice maybe this is the image that I want to use so I've clicked on this image and I found this particular image so Joel's question is these textbooks these text box inputs I believe should be available globally universally on any press books again yeah is there easy way to add the umla yes there totally is if you know the keyboard symbol Andrew you could add it to the keyboard symbol I can never remember how to type accents because I'm pretty monolingual so the secret cool way to do this is there's a special character thing that lets you choose from all the available characters in the character set so okay here it is it's the o diariesis I think that's the Bjork that she uses is that right we'll find out okay there's Bjork all right so that's a nice little trick if you want to add special characters there's a special character button that helps you find them from a visual representation rather than having to know the keyboard commands all right so let's say I'm back in my creative commons search and I found this beautiful image of someone a statue of someone playing a string instrument in Iceland so what I'm going to do is I'm going to say well where is this image from oh it's from Flickr so I'll go to Flickr I found this image it's released under a creative commons BC BYNC license so let's download this image I'll do it in the medium size I don't need it to be too big come back to my chapter and I'm going to start by inserting this media so I'm going to take this upload the image I've just uploaded the image the first thing I'm going to do is always give it all text so statue of violinist in Flickr I'm trying and the title of this image alf eagle no that's the author Iceland Reykjavik harp a music hall okay so I'll come in and add a title and then I'm going to give an attribution here because I got this image from somewhere so I'll say here's where I found the image there's my URL the author was alf eagle create a name by the way and I could give their URL if I wanted to in this case the license was ccbync great and I didn't adapt it at all so I'm just going to drop it into the chapter so I just inserted an image into the precipice chapter the next thing I may want to do is say I would like multimedia here and what I want to do is I want to add a video so in this particular case I went to Vimeo and I found this beautiful this image of an Icelandic pianist playing the song with the school teacher reading a poem I like this video I want it in my book so I copy the URL I put it on a new line and press books I press paste and we will automatically embed the video for you that's what it looks like from Vimeo if I went to youtube I found a really nice video about compassion and the true meaning of empathy it was a TED talk so I'm going to come down a bit further and one of the key takeaways is be compassionate I just embedded that video here so I've done a lot of editing let's take a look and save my chapter and see how it's looking so far to view the chapter I can either preview it or I could view the chapter here let's just view it and we'll see okay here's my title here's the heading my learning objectives my bold and italics my link my image okay there's the image nice okay um there's the example here's the embedded video here's the key takeaway and here's the last embedded video a few other things that you may want to do would be to add a footnote so I'm going to say let's create a footnote here by clicking this footnote button and say I'm a footnote and what it's done is it's added a little short code and inside the short code is the content of my footnote so let's turn this into a link I can have a link inside of a footnote if I want and there's my first footnote um and if I come down a bit further I'm going to add a glossary term so let's add a definition for Scandinavia so what's the definition of Scandinavia I'm going to let Wikipedia teach me here we go first sentence a sub region I'll just do two sentences here so I copied that I'm going to say the description of Scandinavia a sub region in northern Europe and I'll just say usually covers okay great so I've created a definition there in precipits with the glossary now when I save this chapter we will see here when we view the chapter this has a glossary term so if I were to click on this you would see my definition pop up and appear and it could be automatically added to a glossary at the end of the book and you'll then notice I have a footnote here if I hover over it you'll see the tool tip and when I click it it will jump me down to the footnote and I will see the content of the footnote and I can jump back up at any point to the content I'm going to pause and take a couple questions from the chat Joel asked is it okay to embed youtube videos in a ccby textbook yes it is Joel when we're embedding a video we are not making a copy so embedding something is just placing it in iFrame so you have no copyright restrictions or concerns there if you were to download the video you wouldn't be allowed to host or make copies that would be a violation of copyright but embedding doesn't violate copyright my understanding and then I need to ask what are some universal accessibility features great so adding all text I think I showed that in the demo for the image earlier but in case you missed it I'll go back and show you again so if I were to add new media let's come back to my demonstration of the editor chapter and let's make sure that this image has alt text so I'm going to click edit and I will see okay here's where the alt text gets added I added a statue of the violinist in Reykjavik if we were to do this from scratch let's go back and grab another image okay this Reykjavik music hall I like it I'm going to download this from Flickr it also has a ccb while I said that the same same artist doing great job alph thanks for contributing to the commons and so I'm going to say let's add this media upload the image and this one was called Reykjavik harp music hall so here I will say enter the alt text and insert it into the chapter so now this image has alt text I could have also added a caption so let's add the caption as well and now the caption will display so those are some of the things that you can do there there's lots of different content that you can share and embed here the question was can you upload powerpoint slides generally there's a bunch of different kinds of media types that you can upload this media tool is generally more useful when you're sharing images and and audio files I don't know if powerpoint files are permitted as a file type I believe they are so you could try I don't have powerpoint on my computer but if you were to upload a powerpoint file then you could link to it or if you had the most commonly I think people will host their material in something like a cloud storage tool like if you're at the University of Wisconsin you could use box I know that's their cloud storage and you would just drop the link into the file and that would be really easy way to link to a file that you've hosted elsewhere but I think powerpoint would be a permitted file type note that there's a 25 megabyte file upload limit per file for pressbooks we're not intending for pressbooks to be a file storage system but there are some cases where uploading that media can be very helpful for your book or you could create the slides as jpegs or lots of different questions in the chat here I think people are discussing things I don't think there's anything I need to directly respond to hopefully I've answered other people's questions so far I'm gonna take a drink of water okay so what I just shown you there is the basics of the editor how we would add footnotes how we would add glossary how we'd add media how we would add links and other kinds of different things like that so those are some of the basic tools for pressbooks I will also show you how you can add mathematics so not all of you use math or math notation but it's really common to want to be able to express math notation so the simplest and easiest way is to simply use the short code LaTeX if you're writing an expression in LaTeX so I'm gonna say okay x to the second power plus I'm not a mathematician so we'll say y to the third power equals z minus a there is a math expression for you algebraic expression and I'll close the tag by saying LaTeX what's going to happen now is when I save this and display it in this particular chapter you'll come down and you'll see oh this was turned into a math expression and it's being rendered in my browser with an accessible math rendering tool called math checks what that means is that when I right click this image I have all these different choices in the browser for how to display this including a whole bunch of different accessibility tools I can choose what language displayed and I can choose that if I click this image it will zoom and I can choose the zoom factor and the user can control all of these things they can also control how the math is displayed so I want to show the math as mathamal I want to show there's a lot of different choices and accessibility options here that are really nice for mathjacks so zoom so this is the math representation in the web book so far I've really focused on how do you make this book have stuff in it and that's most of what you'll need to be able to do with press books the next thing I guess I want to show you here is now that we've put a bunch of content in it what other things can we do so if I come back to organizing my book I can say all right all of these chapters are ready to go they're public in the web my book is public and they're also going to be visible in the exports so let's talk about what an export is an export is when you take your book in press books and you turn it into a file that could be downloaded and accessed offline so press books is obviously great for making available content on the open public web but you may also have users who are don't have reliable internet access or who don't want to be connected to the web while they're accessing your learning material so here's what can happen with the export there are all of these different yeah Anita I will talk about h5p and hypothesis I'll leave some of the complicated stuff a little bit later but let me show exports first yeah okay so the first thing that we can do then is decide what kind of formats do I want to make this available one well one I want to make a print PDF I also want to make an e-pub which is an e-book format that people can read on their devices if I want to do a mobi which is kindle's proprietary format I could do that if I wanted to have a digital PDF I could and then there's a bunch of kind of less commonly used but still powerful formats the common cartridge format is one you would use to connect your book to your learning management system I'm not going to show that in the demo today but I think your local campus support staff should be able to help you with that and I could answer questions about that maybe a different time there's a video we'll share it as a link as well you could select all absolutely valid those are the formats you want it so it's going to take me a little bit longer if I do all of them so for this demo I'll just do two of them and I will say export these books so what it's doing is press books is running through the routine and it's turning my existing book into a PDF file and it's turning it into an e-pub file and what will happen when it's done is the files I've just displayed will display here for me so here's the e-pub here's the print PDF I haven't done any formatting I haven't learned in design but let's download this print PDF and see how it looks so here is my print PDF for my debonair book it's a 50 page PDF that looks like a book Joel man you're published on there looking all right we've got your copyright attribution great job choosing a creative commons license Joel here's your table of contents main body section two and here's the actual book content and it looks good it looks ready to print in my opinion we've got a footnote here we've got these columns all the other stuff that we put in our book let's go look at our wacky chapter that I put all that weird stuff in you'll notice in this particular chapter okay it takes me a while to get there apologies if I'm making you dizzy okay here we go here's the chapter my learning objectives my footnotes my image my math it's being turned into an image for the PDF export here's another image here's a video and it told me we can't obviously put a video in a print PDF but here's a still shot from the image and here's where you could find that video on the web if you wanted to so someone clicks on that link or types the link in and it takes them to the chapter and again the video was there so that's kind of what will happen when you make your exports and these export files could be downloaded it could be shared however you want if you're using an edu network or an open source network there's also an option where you can make these files available for download on the homepage I think you saw that when I was looking at this particular book right this person did choose four of these formats and made them available for download to do that on that particular book what you would go to is settings sharing and privacy and you would say yes share my latest export files once I've done that now when I visit the homepage for the book you will see the e-pub and the print PDF are available for download for any visitor to the web I've just made an open open the license web book and Val I think you ready I did make it look so easy it will take you a little bit longer probably to learn how to do the steps that I did but there's a guide that covers it and it really is like when we're doing web first editing or web first publishing we do want to make it genuinely easy for you to make the knowledge that you've come up with or that you and your learners have come up with broadly available and accessible to all okay so that's a little bit about the exports I would also like to show you maybe you don't like how that export looked so in appearance you have a bunch of different choices if you're using a press book hosted network you will see that there are 20 something premium themes the theme will change the appearance of your book without you having to know any code so right now I'm using McLuhan which is a nice looking theme but I really want to use I don't want Bukowski definitely not but but I might like a Malala Malala is a really nice textbook theme so I'm going to activate the Malala theme so now my book if you'll notice when I visit my web book and visit my chapter you'll see some subtle differences oh the main primary text is now blue and you can see different typefaces are in use that was just by changing the theme I also have a bunch of theme options let's say I don't really like the green color of the learning objectives I'd actually like to make it I don't know red my learning objectives are bloody I don't know and I'll make this like a light red or like a pink here and I'll say save changes now throughout the book oops we're on demo throughout the book when I refresh this you'll notice this green color is going to turn to red in just a second hey there we go I just changed that globally in my book without having to know coding these were some of the theme options that were available you'll see there's a ton of different theme options if you need to support other scripts or typefaces that aren't like if you're writing a book that has examples from Greek or Hebrew or Chinese or Gujarati or Korean or any other language that doesn't use the western the west the latin alphabet then you can declare support for those scripts you can also choose to display attributions at the end of your chapter a two-label table of contents you can change the labels from part to section or from chapter to unit or whatever you need the labels to be you'll also notice that there are a bunch of web options that will apply to the web book only so if I'm in Malala you can actually change the typefaces which is a really cool feature we call it shape shifter and you can also change the standard width of the book in the web you can choose what happens with paragraphs collapsing sections image like boxes when it comes to PDFs this is pretty powerful a lot of times people would use to use InDesign or these desktop publishing software you have to it was a pretty steep learning curve I used InDesign and it took me a long time to learn it this lets you customize a lot of the print settings without having to really learn that much so for example I want this book actually to be eight and a half by 11 to print it like a large textbook so boom I've just changed it and I want the font size to be a little smaller I want it to be 11 and I want the line height to be 1.2 instead and I like the margins as they are but if I wanted them I could make it a little bit bigger let's make the outside inside margins a little larger I'm just changing the margins globally and I want hyphenation on in my book and I'd like to do indentation that's great I want no blank pages so the page sections won't be on blank pages anymore I do want the table of contents I want them to be end notes rather than footnotes and I'm going to leave the rest so I've just changed a few PDF settings here now when I go back and export we're going to just make the PDF export and this PDF will look a lot different than the last PDF just simply by changing some of those the theme and the theme settings okay so I'm going to download that and now let's look I haven't done any coding I haven't done anything super magical but you'll now notice we're using a different theme this book looks pretty different first of all it's 35 pages instead of 50 the books a bit the pages are bigger and here's the new title page it's formatted differently and the table of contents looks a bit different and when I come down to my section you can see my type my font is probably too small there but so I can go back and change it and make it a little bit bigger when I get back to my section the headings all look different the text boxes look a bit different and in my section I've now got a red learning objectives box so there's for example and Val has some great recommendations for typefaces there a lot of times people do recommend serif typefaces for reading in print and sans serif typefaces for reading on the web and there's kind of a contradictory body of research and information about that but those guidelines have generally held true for a long time okay how to format a word document that you import the last thing I guess I'll show I won't demo this in great detail but if there's something you don't like about the appearance of your book you can change pieces and parts of it using something called css this is a little bit advanced most users won't touch it so I won't talk about it in too great of a detail but here you'll see here all the different css options available from my web book here are all the rules that we're already applying so let's say I want to change let's pick some element in my book the publisher city element okay so here are all the rules for the publisher city I want the publisher city actually to be all I'm going to change is make it really big so it's going to look annoyingly big so I've just changed the font size to four times how big it was before I'm going to save that the next time I display the publisher city it's going to look a lot bigger I have a separate style sheet for the ebook a separate style sheet for the pdf and you can control all of them separately it allows you to kind of customize the appearance of your book if you're the kind of person that likes to have uh if you're a perfectionist I guess which some of us are um and you may have a local uh web person or a local uh web developer who has a bit more experience with css who may be willing to help you and and uh get started with some of the css customizations because this is a little bit cody so most end users probably won't touch it Val had a question which is if I import metadata for my book I like does it include the css no generally when you bring in the content it'll bring in the content and press books will use its book will use the css for your book theme as the way of styling and displaying it sometimes however you'll accidentally copy paste stuff that will come with its own inline styles sometimes you'll like that and sometimes you don't if you notice that you've copy pasted something and it looks weird one easy thing that you can do is highlight it and click this clear formatting button that will strip in a way any formatting or cruft that came in when you copy paste it there's also this tool that will let you just paste it as text and that will also help you avoid bringing in formatting that you don't want because that's a really annoying thing rather than having to go into the text editor and have to learn html it's pretty easy to just clear it strip the formatting with these two buttons here okay I'm going to pause for a second and look back at my chat um okay Joel asked what kind of recommendations do you have for what kind of headings okay basically the the main recommendation for accessibility for headings is always start with h1 go down to h2 don't skip headings just because you like the look they should be used in sequential order and h1s should be siblings of each other h2 should be used for children and h2 should be siblings of each other and so forth down in a book now if you're using multiple headings so in this particular book let me show you a couple of things that are possible we went down in this demonstration of the editor and we added a couple of h1s so here's an h1 I'm going to add another one that's called uh let me just turn this into an h1 just for demonstration purposes okay so I have two h1s in this book and I will add a third h1 that's like wrapping up so I've added three top level headings to this particular chapter now in my book appearance in my theme options you'll notice that what I can do if I want is I can enable a two level table of contents what this will do is display the top level headings under the chapter titles in my table of contents so what's nice about this is Joel if you wanted to be able to display your headings inside of a chapter now in my book when I visit it you'll notice here's my table of contents this is a section it expands into a chapter and chapters that have headings will show those headings in the table of contents so here are the three headings I just created I'm going to jump directly to music of Scandinavia boom it's anchor it jumped to that and in my table of contents in the book you'll also see those top level headings will appear as section headings there so that's how I would advise if you really want to be able to have subsections inside of chapters think about how you want to structure your book a chapter can be anything right so you could have a chapter be very very big or you could have a chapter be a smaller chunk and it can also contain chunks inside of it with top level headings another thing that's possible is to have each of the sections collapsed by default not everyone uses this feature I don't it's not my favorite feature I don't generally use it but some people like to do this so in the web options what you would do is you'd say collapse my sections and what this means is when I go view the the chapter of the book with collapsed sections you'll see you'll notice these sections are collapsed and then it can be expanded or collapsed and expanded so it's just a way of maybe maybe the chapter doesn't look so scary when you first load it or you only jump into the pieces that you want again that's user preference those can be turned on and off in the theme settings okay that was Joel's question I hope that got to the question that you were asking there Val I think I answered the question about word imports earlier and then Ahmed would you please send us the link to this webinar yes sir definitely we'll do that I don't know how you heard about it exactly but what I will do is after this webinar is over and we'll record it and we'll make it available on our youtube channel so I'll paste I'll give the link to everybody here in the chat this is our precipice youtube channel we post old webinars here in right on the youtube channel this webinar should be available hopefully by the end of this week we're going to send it away and get captions put on it so it's as accessible as possible that takes us a couple days usually but it will be available soon yes so how to how to license account so so pressbooks can be used in three different ways generally pressbooks is open source software and the first way to use it is as an open source user so if you're an open source user that means that you go and you get the pressbook software and you download it and install it on a server that's how I started with pressbooks way back in the day when we were first doing it in University of Wisconsin I installed it on a local university server and I was running pressbooks for lots of people and that quickly became for me scary and unsustainable because I wasn't a skilled DevOps person and a network user but if your university has the time and interest and resources you can download the software and install it let me show there's there's some documentation here for how to install and use pressbooks and so there's where you can download the open source components and if you are a DevOps or a kind of technically minded person you should be able to follow these instructions and install pressbooks pressbooks lives the repositories live in a place called github and I will show you that pressbooks github page is github at pressbooks and the main repository is pressbooks here so I will paste a link to the github here and I will paste it to here the main advantage of having pressbooks as an open source user is you have total control of what you do with the software and you run it and it's it does whatever you want it to do or it doesn't do whatever you don't want it to do the main downsides to doing it that way is you are responsible for it so the part that was hard for me was I had to update we release updates to pressbooks regularly we're adding new features and other kinds of things so you have to know what you're doing you have to make sure that you keep it secure unless you do this professionally or that you have real experience in it it's probably not for the faint of heart it's definitely not for an ordinary instructor to just I think that would be unwise to just run your own pressbook network though you could if you're curious and a tinkerer the second way to use pressbooks as an individual user I'll show you would be to simply get started as a single person at pressbooks.com so there is pressbooks for faculty authors or self-publishers what it tells you is that you can create an account here for free and you can begin by creating a bookshelf or a sandbox book here at pressbooks.com so I would log in I already have an account at pressbooks.com you create an account if I can remember my account this is what it would look like it's basically a huge pressbooks network that we host and run for for individuals or for faculty authors most of the people who use pressbooks.com are self-published authors or kind of faculty working on their own and that would be let me show an example of what it looks like when you log in here you will see a very similar dashboard to what I was just showing you and you will find that you can make a book and it will be private and in order to publish it to the web or to produce exports there will be a small one-time fee it used to be free for we used to make it freeze for people to publish their open books to the web but we found that we were having a really too many spam books whenever you let people publish stuff to the web for free bad stuff happens so there's a I believe it's about $20 to make your make a book public it's a one-time fee and then to produce exports and I think it's about a hundred dollars if you want to do both pdf and epub exports but your pressbooks.com would look like this the third way that many people use pressbooks is that pressbooks is a company the main way that we make money as a business is by hosting an individual pressbooks network for a university or an organization or a consortium so that's what the University of Wisconsin who are doing this webinar for does and that's what maybe a hundred or so other universities around the world do they say we want pressbooks and they will pay pressbooks and we will host pressbooks for them will provide training and support and so when that happens your university will have it's like a campus service like your lms or like any other campus supporting tool so we would be the vendor in that case hosting this open-source software for folks if you're not sure whether your campus has pressbooks I can probably look it up for you and if you want to get in touch with us about using pressbooks for institutions I'm not a salesperson but I believe that there is good information on our website about pressbooks for educational institutions so it describes it here what that looks like and the different plans and then there's a contact form for how to find out more about pressbooks for institutions okay uh so yeah so an institution or a campus or a community could use pressbooks either as an institution's general either self-host or they will host with us our hosting rates for institutions are pretty low they're lower than a lot of other ed tech vendors and you're not paying for a license you're paying for the SaaS hosting services and the human services like training and support so that helps us keep the prices low that's one of the great benefits of open-source software I think there were a couple questions earlier I'm sorry to go into the business side of things but a couple questions earlier about both h5p and about hypothesis I know we've reached about an hour I scheduled this for an hour and a half if any of you feel like you need to leave or you have other things to do please feel free but what I'm going to show you now would be how you can do things with interactivity or quizzing and interactive elements and how you can do things with annotation which are both pretty fun and exciting pieces of pressbooks and make use of some other open-source tools all right so let me start with annotation and I will start by showing you an example from a book that I used to teach with when I was at the University of Wisconsin so my PhD and the way I met Joel actually who's in this but was was I got a PhD in English literature and one of my favorite poets is a Wisconsin poet her name's laryne needaker and here is a poem by laryne needaker where I provided a little bit of contextual history with some footnotes a very short eight line poem and then you can see here's a quiz that I built with h5p I'll get to the quiz part later but if you can I don't know if you can see or not but you should be able to see there's this yellow highlighting on the web version of this book if you'd like to look at it yourself you can I'll put the link in here and this highlighting is provided by an open source tool called hypothesis if I click on one of these highlights an annotation pane will expand I'm logged in it's a free account with hypothesis which will allow me to make new annotations but you don't have to be logged in to read annotations so in this particular example this is the public annotation layer for this book and you can see in this this book I've chosen the text new goose and in the annotation I put a picture of the cover of the book and the title page so this is cool I mean I'm annotating this book and showing people what this book looked like when it was published in the 40s someone annotated the word Edinburgh Scotland with a map of Edinburgh nice way back in 2017 someone else me said I want this to be a class discussion question so this poem starts by mentioning a person named Black Hawk so my question for my class is who was Black Hawk and you'll notice there's this little reply button so anybody in the world could log in and could reply to this so someone said he was a Native American leader in Wisconsin in the 19th century near the end of his life he was captured by the US government and displayed on tour so those are some answers and there are lots of other answers for who was Black Hawk right so that could be I could be leading a class discussion or conversation on or adjacent to the text I could be doing this in public which is what you're seeing now I'll show you a few other things that can happen in the annotation layer you can put links you could put let's see here's an image and in the reply as you can see here's a youtube video for actually serving up the papa crash so she mentions Learine Decker mentions papa which is a tree that blossoms in the Midwest it also has an edible fruit and so here's a video about eating the papa fruit and then here's a link that has a bunch of papa recipes and then down here here's an audio element of Learine Decker reading a poem or closure now I could have put all of that stuff here in the main body of the text but I really want students to first focus on reading this and the poem and then later I want them to go through and do the annotation type activity so that's why we made some of the design decisions the other thing that you'll notice that I'm viewing the public layer I could make a private group for my English class and only invite students to join it and then I'd switch to that layer this is the same book and there are another set of different annotations on this layer that are only visible in this private group so for example someone wrote remember this this is some piece of the thing they wanted to remember someone else in the class here's a question from the instructor Deidre with Stuart's husband he still loves lives in London why do you think people tend to focus on the male members of publishing couples so this is a question for the class to think about and then the answer was I think it's because sexism or whatever reason like this student's made like you could have a conversation layer here with with annotation the annotation pane can be expanded or made smaller it can be displayed or turned off you can turn it on or off as the reader this is just built into the book you don't have to install extra software you don't have to do anything you can choose do I want this tool to be part of my book or not now that's hypothesis so to show you how to turn that on in the particular book I'm working in so let's come back to my test example it was called webinar demo book in webinar demo book I'm going to come to settings hypothesis and I'm going to say do I want to allow hypothesis on my book if so where do I want to allow it I want to allow it in this case only on chapters or I could say only on chapter and I could give a list of numbers or which chapters I want it to be in but for now I'm going to say all chapters can have it so now when I visit this book and load a chapter this webinar book that we just made together today you'll notice here's hypothesis so I could start by annotating musical traditions in the world here's what I want to do I'm going to I made this Spotify playlist last month of multilingual music from around the world so I'm going to drop a Spotify playlist in the annotation layer here and I'm going to put it in the public layer so that everybody can see it so maybe I didn't I failed to do it pretend I did and I'll say link and I posted that link as an annotation there in the annotation tool so that's a way that you can turn hypothesis on and make it visible and useful in your book so you'll see okay here's annotation yeah do you want to link to the books you can play with annotations sure happily about about I just dropped the link in the chat so if you want to go ahead and turn on the thing that you will need to do if you've never used hypothesis before again is if you haven't been in before you'll see a button that says sign up or log in you would need to sign up and it would take you to a sign up thing hypothesis is a free and open source tool I think they're a great company we really like them we love working together with them in open education you can decide for yourself whether you trust them and want to create an account even if you don't create an account you still should be able to read public annotations okay the second thing that I want to show you is something called h5p and the way that I want to demo this is actually I'll take you to a book that's on the Wisconsin network that a former graduate student of mine who now works at the University of Wisconsin doing faculty pedagogy pedagogical development has made this is a terrific resource Naomi Salmon this is an interactive resource guide for open education and down in this chapter you'll see all different kinds of activities like for example a bunch of language instruction activities are here there's a specific kind of resource that a lot of people at Wisconsin were making that were called case scenarios and critical readers and Mallory and Andrew would be only too familiar with those so there's a bunch of examples of those and then a bunch of different other kinds of things exhibit books web only acts h5p activities lots of cool examples of things that you could make to make a book more interactive done in press books with different tools so let me jump and show you let's do a image hotspot this one's pretty fun oh yes Joel here's the OER source book I'll drop the link in the chat okay so what Naomi will do here is say okay in this particular activity you're going to see the example of an h5p activity called image hotspot so here's an example where we're learning Dutch for canine anatomy so here's a picture of a dog all of these pieces are labeled and I click on this and this is going to say stop over again to a shinshneil on schnuit I don't know what that means but probably the nose of a dog I don't know here's the back of a dog and this is how we would say this right and so we've added some annotation this was an h5p activity I could grab this h5p activity and reuse it somewhere or I could clone the book and get it that way here's what I'm going to do I'm going to pick a different activity that's actually one that uh let's go to the flash cards okay this is fun here's a set of spanish flash cards so blueberries and someone's pronounced it for me in Spanish blue berries okay cool the second one in the set was a raspberries okay I like this activity I want to use it I'm downloading the source file now I'm coming back to my book I'm coming into the admin um normally I would come to plugins and I would activate h5p I already did that before and then once it's activated you'll see I have the ability to make h5p content down here I will click add new I will say yes I want to use the tool and then you will see there are about 40 different interactive content types you can make with h5p they range from very simple like true false questions to really complex like branching scenarios where you choose this and it shows you one page you choose something else and you can make really powerful interactives of all different types in this case rather than making a new one I'm going to upload an existing one so I'm going to upload the file I just downloaded this flashcard activity from Naomi and this activity is now in my book so let's say I want to instead of Spanish berry names I'm going to turn it into french berry names and I is that the word for blueberries I think it is and then I'd say from places uh I think it's fine was it's been a while and I'll just do the first two I'm getting kind of headed myself so I just made a new h5p activity so here you'll see this is the activity I just made based on the one Naomi shared with me blueberries okay and then I could continue editing it or I could share it if I come into my book now and go to my editor demonstration chapter adding the h5p to the chapter will be just the same as adding an image where I might say instead of add media there's a button that says add h5p and I'll say language dialogue insert that you'll see a shortcut's been inserted and when I preview this chapter you'll now notice my activity that I've just made is now embedded and available to anyone who visits this book so it's available on the web for free someone has just chatted it was a private chat but I will share it because I agree press books plus h5p plus hypothesis beats tool name redacted hands down a million times better and all oar so again the point here is that each one of these tools is open source and the content that we've made all of this can be openly licensed which means that you can reuse it and adapt it and other people can take this clone it and make it better very very quickly for me at least that's the kind of vision of the future education world of sharing and accessible learning that I want to see I want to build I want to be a part of and hopefully you've catch a little bit of that excitement and are starting to think of some of the exciting things that you can do the other thing that I want to stress is so these are stressful times for people especially if you're moving a course from face to face to online very quickly it's best to keep it simple plain text is a really great way to communicate things it's been a great way for a long time it's accessible it's generally available it doesn't require a lot of internet bandwidth to consume unlike this video and it's something that can often be read and used offline press books is of course really good at delivering plain text so probably you want to start simple and then over time you may want to gradually iterate and add increasing levels of complexity or of interactivity but the possibility for like building really engaging learning materials is really high and we would love to see the stuff that you make and we'd also really encourage you to open and license it and share it with others if you feel like that's appropriate for your situation Anita's question was can you track downloads of ebook and PDF files yes you can what I will show you is if you are a network manager so if you run your own network or if you are someone that administers a press book network there is an integration here for example with google analytics so I would look here and I would say this network can send information to a google analytics dashboard that you control and then every time someone downloads a file it will share with you in your google analytics dashboard which book it was and which file format was downloaded so that you could report a number of downloads pretty easily there is a network manager guide that covers some of these things that we make available I'll share that with you in the chat and there's a chapter here about configuring google analytics for press books so so Anita that's hopefully the answer to your question about how you might want to know more information about book downloads or PDF files there are additional tools for network managers to understand what's happening on their network but that's not generally directly relevant to end users so I'd leave that out but your network managers can tell you more about that or you can kind of read through the network manager dashboards to see more about some of the statistics that are available for network managers another thing that I will mention is if you do have a campus that's either self hosting press books or that's hosting with us generally there will be people on your campus that will be your local press books administrators or we sometimes call them network managers that's usually the best person to go to with your first level of questions about press books if you're at the University of Wisconsin those people are going to be Andrew Turner and Mallory Conlon who you probably already know because they invited you this call and those are the people that you'll go to with your questions about press books they maintain really good documentation they have I think some KV docs about press books locally and if you have a question you go to them and if they can answer it or they have questions they will come to us at press books and we'll provide support for them as one of our clients there's also if you're an open source user we have an open community here for open source users it's called pressbooks.community it's a discourse forum and that is the the link there for press books community and you can see open source users discussing things and helping each other out there
