Due to ever increasing interest in LibreTexts open homework and assessment system, ADAPT, the LibreTexts team has added a virtual ADAPT workshop on December 9, 2022 from 9-3 PST.

The LibreTexts team is happy to announce four new, in-person workshops co-sponsored by the ASCCC OERI. These workshops will showcase LibreTexts’ ADAPT and LibreStudio platforms sponsored by the California Education Learning Lab (CELL) as free homework assessment platforms for all California instructors and students. We will demonstrate how instructors can use ADAPT to augment existing and newly constructed OER textbooks with summative exercises and embed them in LMSs, LibreTexts textbooks, in a standalone application, and in-class clickers.

Are you an instructor charged with putting together a textbook? You have resources available to help, especially with the LibreTexts remixer, but you’re reminded that it has to be accessible. You may not be familiar with accessibility integrations and inquire “What resources are available within LibreTexts to help with accessibility?”

That’s where the LibreTexts Accessibility Checker comes to help!

LibreTexts (libretexts.org) and Learnful (learnful.io) have committed to coordinate their activities to design, develop, and promote open source technologies for open education.

The two organizations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to support their intention to work collaboratively on issues of mutual concern.

Greetings, OpenEd advocates! The LibreTexts team is happy to announce a special virtual fall LibreFest workshop to be held over two half days on October 10-11, 2022. Learn how to construct, edit, and remix content on the LibreTexts platform. You'll also get an in-depth look at our open homework system, Adapt.

LibreTexts (formly ChemWiki) currently benefits over 60 million students per year and is the most visited chemistry website in the world. Central to our success is the construction and adoption of faculty specific and freely accessible course and instructor designed "LibreTexts" that substitute for costly conventional textbooks in post-secondary courses. Libretexts are assembled by incorporating content from an extensive network of existing chemistry and broader STEM materials.

LibreTexts is happy to sponsor the second annual Cal OER Conference to be held virtually August 3-5, 2022. Cal OER will focus on OER efforts and impact, broadly defined, across the state of California and especially across the state’s three public higher education systems, the California Community Colleges, California State University, and University of California. While the focus is on open education in California, advocates of OER and open education from across the country are invited to join the conversation. Full schedule listed below (subject to change). All times PST.

The LibreTexts team is happy to announce that this year's annual LibreFest will be held virtually on July 18, 20, and 22, 2022. Sessions will begin at 9 am PST/12 pm EST.  This virtual, hands-on workshop will provide three half days of teaching and working sessions covering how to create Open Education Resources (OER), how to modify existing OER to build textbooks and other learning resources, as well as how to use the new ADAPT homework system.  Participants will be expected to prepare for the meeting in advance with materials provided by the LibreTexts team.

Via a request within the @UNESCO Global Education Consortium, LibreTexts collaborated with @NICECXone to add real-time Ukrainian translation to all half a million OER pages on the LibreTexts site.
