Accounts for students

At this time, students are not permitted to independently use Wheaton’s OpenPress as it is primarily for OER creation and open pedagogy projects. This is to ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform in terms of the technical and personnel resources required to host, run, maintain, and support the platform.

Student accounts will be considered on a case by case basis as we will make exceptions for instructors who want to bring students in to work on an OER either as collaborators or for a course assignment.

Student accounts will be deleted after the project/semester is over.
