Presentation Description:
The Open Case Studies project <http://cases.open.ubc.ca/> at the University of
British Columbia brings together faculty and students to create and edit case studies as
open educational resources. We have started by focusing on courses that have to do with
sustainability because there are many courses across our campus that address issues in
sustainability in some way and that use case studies to do so.
However, we are interested in any courses that use case studies and that want to make them
open and available for others to revise and reuse. We have a small number of case studies
so far, but hope the numbers will grow in the coming years as more faculty and students
become involved. So far all of our cases are from courses at UBC, but we are investigating
ways to include contributions from people around BC or beyond. Christina Hendricks, the
lead faculty member on the project, will discuss how the project has worked so far, how
courses have involved students in reading, adding to, or creating case studies, and how
others can get involved.
Christina Hendricks is a Professor of Teaching in Philosophy at the University of British
Columbia-Vancouver, who is also an advocate for open education generally, including the
use and creation of open textbooks and other open educational resources. From 2014-2015
she was a Faculty Fellow with the BCcampus Open Textbook project, and from 2015-2017 she
was an OER Research Fellow with the Open Education Group. <http://openedgroup.org/>
