LibGuides: Libretexts Resources &amp; Training: LibreTexts Resources & Training

LibreTexts is an Open Education Resource (OER) platform that allows users to develop course content materials at no cost. HACC has chosen this platform and is a LibreNet member, offering our faculty more options and support. Various resources and training are available to help you plan your OER project. The platform provides a location to gather, design, write, and share course materials. This guide is to provide links to content-specific training as you plan and complete your OER project.

LibreTexts Support

A LibreTexts representative is available via Zoom to answer your platform questions. Weekly LibreTexts office hours Zoom meetings are open to everyone. Office hours are available weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Tuesdays: https://officehours.libretexts.org at 12:00 p.m. (EST)

Thursdays https://officehours.libretexts.org 12:00 p.m (EST)

OER creators may upload OER material from sources other than LibreTexts. The LibreTexts Platform houses OER from other sources. You may request to have information added to the bookshelf in LibreTexts by sending an e-mail to info@libretexts.org.

This forum provides an opportunity to crowdsource to find answers to your questions/problems with other Libretexts users.

This provides the fundamentals (including language and philosophy), the framework for designing texts; basic and advanced editing; creating interactive elements; contributing, harvesting, and curating; remixing; and disseminating texts.

The Checklist for Constructing Course Shells provides instructions for building and remixing content.
