If you are interested in participating, please fill out this anonymous survey form: https://open.bccampus.ca/openstax-pressbooks-survey/ This survey will close on November 30 , 2018. Feel free to share this survey with your B.C. post-secondary colleagues.

BCcampus is looking for Pressbooks bug reports
by BCcampus Helpdesk 08 Nov '18

Hello pressbooks.bccampus.ca users, Over the next two weeks, BCcampus will be tackling bugs in our BCcampus Pressbooks-related plugins, and we are looking for bug reports! If you have noticed issues or inconsistencies while working in the pressbooks.bccampus.ca instance of Pressbooks, please send them to Josie Gray ( jgray(a)bccampus.ca ). Specifically, we are looking for issues related to the OpenStax import option, the Open Textbook theme, and the Common Cartridge export option. Note that some areas of Pressbooks are the responsibility of the Pressbooks Core development team and beyond the control of BCcampus developers. While you can still send Josie these types of issues, they will be reported to and fixed by the Pressbooks development team, and thereby out of BCcampus' control. And don't worry if you don't know the difference, Josie can troubleshoot and report to the appropriate place. If reporting a bug, please provide as much information as you can so we can get to the source of the problem. This may include things like: * A description of the issue * The steps needed to reproduce the issue * A link to an example of the issue * The theme you are using (Open Textbooks, McLuhan, etc.) * Anything else that may be relevant If you have Pressbooks ideas, feedback, or questions that are not related to issues in Pressbooks, please fill out the Pressbooks Feedback form . Thank you, BCcampus Open Education Team and BCcampus Helpdesk BCcampus Helpdesk BC campus | connect.collaborate.innovate. helpdesk(a)bccampus.ca | www.bccampus.ca
