Hi everyone,

Two of our Business faculty are currently reviewing the Business Law and Ethics Canadian Edition OER for its suitability for adoption for our BUSI 2390 Business Law course. Part of the review includes what work would need to be done in order to adapt the OER. BUSI 2390 is one of our few top-20 enrolled courses that does not have a ZTC section, so being able to “unlock” this one would have a massive impact.

Unfortunately, it seems like it would need a lot of work in order to make it usable. The faculty members are interested and willing to do the work, but are hesitant at the amount of work that it would take. I suggested reaching out to see if there are any other Business Law (or similar) instructors at other institutions who would be interested in collaborating on this adaptation. We also talked about converting the content into a Wordpress website which could be easily updated with new information instead of a more static OER textbook, if that’s of interest.

Are any of you aware of faculty members at your institutions who might be interested in a collaboration?

Thanks,

Amanda
