OERs are often text-heavy. This interactive BarCamp session will explore two tools, they are Pressbooks and H5P and how they can transform traditional open textbooks into dynamic, learner-centered OpenBooks. This session will help participants to discover how Pressbooks enables open, accessible publishing and how H5P adds interactive elements such as quizzes, branching scenarios, and videos that engage learners.
Objectives: Participants will
(1) Explore the workflow for creating OpenBooks with Pressbooks and H5P;
(2) collaboratively design a model OpenBook section
Methods: The session combines short demos and collaborative practice. After a brief introduction of the tools, participants brainstorm interactive ideas, then co-create a Pressbooks page with embedded H5P content. The session concludes with a reflection on accessibility, remixing, and sustainability of OpenBooks.

With over 15 years of expertise in educational technology and instructional design, I have successfully designed and facilitated numerous national and international-level workshops to train educators in both higher education and school education. My work focuses on Open pedagogy, many innovative, teacher-friendly tools to enhance digital teaching and learning.
As the Founder of h5pcatalogue.in,I try to empower educators to repurpose Open Educational Resources (OER) and publish engaging, interactive content. As a Creative Commons Certificate holder and passionate OER advocate, I support open knowledge sharing and support educators in building accessible and equitable learning environments.
Currently, I serve as a:

And, as a Consultant, at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Open University (Hyderabad, India) – Providing expertise in developing an LMS, instructional design, e-content development, and open and distance learning strategies.
Dr. Dominique Scheffel-Dunand is Associate Professor of French Studies and Director of the Graduate Programs in Études françaises (M.A) et Études francophones (PhD) at York University.

Since 2020, while co-leading Camerise Community (K-12 & Postsecondary) she has engaged educators and FSL consultants in school boards to co-author and adapt open educational resources (OER) for professional development now published in the eCampusOntario Open Library. These OER include micro-credentials on authoring accessible and interactive OER in FSL, guides for DELF assessment, and training microcredits on inclusive pedagogy and Artifical Intelligence. By co-designing and piloting the 3 previous iterations of the Camerise Studio platform these past 5 years, she is studying the Triangulation Model (Teachers–Trainers–Repositories) which strengthens system-wide collaboration and scales professional training across the K-12 to postsecondary continuum with a focus on Strategic Information Monitoring and Education Watch. Her vision for the Camerise Communities Project continues to advance inclusive, sustainable, and open practices for the training and professional development of language educators and consultants in Ontario, Canada and the Francophone World.
