Open Institutional Publishing Association

Nice to read about one of our fellow @oipassoc.bsky.social members! They’ve developed 3 multimodal monographs for publication with leading uni presses, and all 3 have been recognized with major national or international awards 👏

A spiral-bound notebook with lined pages is open, displaying a hand-drawn illustration. The word 'FEEDBACK?' is written in large, bold letters at the top. Below it are three simple figures with speech bubbles above their heads. The first figure's speech bubble contains dots, the second contains exclamation marks, and the third contains a checkmark. A pen is attached to the notebook at the bottom left corner.

We recently launched the Open Accessibility Book on #CopimCompass 🧭
