The Information Directory lays out current events, opinions, and OER investigations related to open education in four categories: blogs, books,news, and research. It was created to fulfill the need for Canadian-based information, specifically British Columbia, on open education. However, the Information Directory also includes content from other English-speaking countries with chapters for the United States, the Global North, and the Global South.This directory is considered an ongoing resource and will be updated as information comes available. A “Last update” textbox is posted at the top of each chapter to clearly indicate when information was last added.

Hi everyone,
BCOEL will be having an informal lunch/meeting at the Cascadia Open Education Summit<https://bccampus.ca/event/cascadia-open-education-summit/> at SFU Harbour Centre on Thursday, 18 April at 12:45. The room is still to be determined, so stay tuned. We will just be grabbing lunch and going to a room to chat. Any librarians interested in open ed are welcome to attend the meeting. If you haven't attended a BCOEL event, please join us. Or, if a colleague from your institution is coming to Cascadia, please let them know about the lunch meeting and encourage them to attend.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Brenda
Chair, BCOEL
