Open Textbooks

Pressbooks is the University of Groningen’s supported platform for authoring and publishing open access textbooks. It is used by educators and institutions worldwide to produce, adapt, and share accessible high-quality textbooks. With this authoring tool, one can create interactive content, embed multimedia, add public annotation functionality, and choose from a wide range of open content for inspiration and adaptation. 

University of Groningen Press has a license for using Pressbooks and supports UG teachers with their open textbook publishing projects.
