Open Education Advocacy


Language: 
  • English

Description

Enabling access to freely available content, information, and data is an essential part of an improved learning environment – for students as well as instructors. At BCcampus, we recognize and embrace the value of open technologies and actively evaluate open applications and resources to identify opportunities to share with our system partners and stakeholders.

Our Open Education team produces open educational resources (OER) – textbooks, toolkits, and other learning materials – in collaboration with the B.C. post-secondary system. We also develop and deliver workshops to increase awareness, adoption, and adaptation of OER by instructors throughout the province and around the world.
