In an August 22, 2024 UW Today newsletter, there is an article written about UW Libraries in the Classroom: Co-creating and Publishing Books in Class. In Spring 2024, Open Education Librarian, Lauren Ray, worked with faculty and instructors to introduce students to the Pressbooks platform, and worked with their classes to co-create and publish these unique Pressbooks: Knowledge Kapamilya 2024, 2024 Innovation in the Construction Industry: Case studies by students in CM515: Virtual Construction Management, Spring 2024, and Stories From the Place of Sports in The University, 3rd Edition.
Lauren Ray mentions what is particularly special about Knowledge Kapamilya 2024 is that the facilitator of the project, Gabbie Mangaser, Collections Assistant for Oceanic and Asian Arts and Cultures at the Burke Museum, was an undergraduate student in Professor Rick Bonus's UW AAS360 course in 2019, when we created the UW student-authored Pressbook, Critical Filipinx American Histories and their Artifacts. Gabbie was inspired by her work in Prof. Bonus's class and wanted to bring open publishing to this important student-led learning community.
