Tooling for the Creation and Integration of OER Documents and Technologies

notes for my ache oer workshop talk

Posted by Steven Clontz on September 11, 2025

In order for Open Educational Resources to live up to their promise as a viable alternative to paid offerings, authors must have access to high-quality software to produce not only static texts, but also interactive and accessible electronic resources. The presenter will demonstrate how the PreTeXt authoring ecosystem puts powerful tools for creating such resources in the hands of authors, without requiring a significant technical background. This talk is based on work funded by the National Science Foundation’s Pathways to Enable Open Source Ecosystems grant program.
