Publishing… but make it open!

Reclaim EdTech is excited to introduce, or reintroduce, several open publishing tools and platforms that you can use to support your own personal, or institutional, publishing dreams. We’re most thrilled about the fact that these tools can be self-hosted, meaning the content that you’re publishing is truly yours! The best part about this flex course? We’re bringing the experts right to you. Don’t just take it from us; these tools are the real deal!

We won’t just be chatting about the tools, but the ideas surrounding open publishing as a practice as well. Reclaim EdTech loves getting into these discussions with our community, so we’re stoked to have you here.
