About Rebus Community

The Rebus Guide to Publishing Open Textbooks (So Far) was produced by the Rebus Community, an initiative of The Rebus Foundation.

Rebus Community is a non-profit organization that helps educational institutions build human capacity in OER publishing through professional development. We offer both in-depth courses and webinar series for faculty, librarians, and institutional leaders. Our programs demystify open publishing, encourage OER adoption, support faculty to author new content, and introduce students to affordable, high-quality materials. Programs are designed to connect participants to a global OER community.

We believe the most powerful tool in OER creation is an active community, and we’ve seen the power of bringing creators together in a shared support framework. The Rebus Community forum is a great space for discussion and networking for anyone working in open education. We also offer several free resources, including guides to making open textbooks and their accompanying video series on YouTube, as well as webinars and events.
