When creating #OER, you donāt have to start from scratch! CC licenses allow you to adopt and adapt content to suit your needs. Pressbooks makes it easy by enabling you to duplicate openly licensed books. Browse the Directory for OER to make your own: https://t.co/12NxvVwgGh

One of the biggest hurdles in the publishing process is the handover from editorial to production. Make life easier for both departments by maintaining one version of the truth. If you donāt have a dedicated in-house workflow system, at least use the same spreadsheet!
