eCampusOntario,

Pressbooks for EDU applications:

Any openly licensed Pressbooks book can
now be cloned (or copied) from one
Pressbooks network to another, by simply
adding the URL.

8. Interactive elements
Add interactive elements (including
audio, video, phet sims, open
assessments and more) by adding a

content on the web, and provide
graceful fallbacks in all exports.
