Hello,
BCcampus is inviting proposals from qualified individuals to support a multi-year initiative to implement OER course markings and automated data collection systems across B.C. public post-secondary institutions.
With funding from the Hewlett Foundation, this project will improve transparency for students and strengthen how institutions track OER use. We’re looking for someone with expertise in student information systems, cross-institutional collaboration, and ideally with experience working in B.C.’s post-secondary system.
If this sounds like you or someone you know, we encourage you to apply or share widely. The deadline for submissions is August 4, 2025.
