1 Pressbooks for B.C. and the Yukon
BCcampus Open Education provides a self-serve instance of Pressbooks called “B.C. Faculty Pressbooks” for faculty and staff at post-secondary institutions in British Columbia and the Yukon.
This is a free service.
When accessing this instance of Pressbooks, faculty and staff must use their institutional email address. A list of accepted email domains are below.

The Sign up/Register page used to create an account says one must be a post-secondary faculty member, but post-secondary staff are eligible as well. Yukon faculty and staff are also eligible, and Yukon College is included in the “B.C. Institution” drop-down list on the account sign-up page. (See Pressbooks Accounts.)
Only public post-secondary institutions in B.C. (plus Yukon College) are listed on the drop-down list, but B.C. private post-secondary faculty and staff may use this Pressbooks instance as well. Those from a private college or university should contact the BCcampus Helpdesk for account set-up assistance.
Ontario post-secondary faculty and staff
Post-secondary faculty and staff from Ontario should email eCampusOntario at inquiry@ecampusontario.ca for Pressbooks help.
