Overview
In the last two years Ryerson University has increased its involvement with OER activities. Recent funding from eCampusOntario has allowed us to create several OER textbooks and adapt several others. In addition Ryerson University has been leading an Open Publishing Infrastructure project for the province of Ontario. We installed Pressbooks locally in 2016 and support faculty members who wish to use it as an OER authoring tool.
