The BCOEL is a grassroots group of BC post-secondary librarians interested in Open Education Resources (OER) and informally meeting to discover and share ways to support the use of quality OER by faculty and students.

The group met initially in December 2013, after a few librarians thought it would helpful to meet and share ideas, tools, and strategies on OER projects in support of faculty. The resources and guides shared here is a result of this provincial collaboration.

The group meets monthly via teleconference and has a wiki working space. The activities and work of BCOER is supported by BCcampus.
