E-Book Development for Technician Laboratory Experiments and Learning Activities

This presentation, published by Erie Community College, guides educators through the process of creating and publishing an E-book lab manual and instructor's guide. In the presentation, Elena Brewer and Nancy Louwagie, developers of the Introduction to Vacuum Technology E-book and its corresponding lab manual, offer advice on creating an online lab manual using Introduction to Vacuum Technology as an example. After providing background on the Introduction to Vacuum Technology project, the presentation walks through the following steps for creating E-book lab manuals for technicians:

1. Components required for your educational materials
2. Choosing E-Publishing platform
3. Producing visual materials
4. Licensing your work

The E-book, and related student and instructor guides, videos, and labs are available to view separately.
