What is Publish1st?
Publish1st is a learning platform that allows for the creation or remixing of online interactive content with deep Learning Management System (LMS) integration and full reporting capabilities.
Where is Publish1st used?
Publish1st is used in a range of different learning settings, such as postsecondary courses, workshops and online training. It is based on more than a decade of experience creating and delivering interactive online textbooks.
How is Publish1st used?
It can be used in a variety of ways—for example, to convert existing print to digital content, to create online interactive textbooks, to publish OER (open educational resources) materials, and as courseware for fully online courses. Publish1st can also be used for nontraditional educational purposes, such as creating employee handbooks or compliance documents.
How does it work?
Your content is imported into Publish1st, interactive activities are added, and opportunities for reporting, such as quizzes and pre- and post-measurements, are set up. Once the work is published it can be adopted by educators and purchased by learners.
