Dear colleagues,

BCcampus has recently released an expression of interest regarding the development of open courses.

BCcampus would like to add further open courses to the open online course collection that align with open textbooks currently in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection. We are looking for B.C. applicants who have developed, adapted, or adopted an open textbook in our B.C. Open Textbook Collection to develop a new open course, or adapt an existing open course, that accompanies the textbook.

This expression of interest is for individuals, groups, or institutions and their representatives (e.g., faculty members, articulation committees, teaching and learning centres, libraries, and OER working groups) in B.C. and the Yukon that are interested in developing or adapting open courses aligned with open textbooks available in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection.


Note that there is no deadline for applications, as this is an ongoing call.


Estimated completion time: Four months


Grant amount: Up to $8000 per course. Three options:

  • $2000 for an existing course that requires little modification
  • $5000 for an adaption or major revision of an existing course
  • $8000 for development of a new course

Applications will be evaluated by an internal review committee based on the following criteria:

  • Experience: Applicants have experience developing OER in B.C. post-secondary education. Preference will be given to applicants who have already developed or adapted an open textbook in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection.
  • Plan for timeline of completion of work.
  • A realistic budget for the scope of work
To learn more about this opportunity, visit the expression of interest page. To apply for this opportunity, fill out the application form linked on the EOI page and email it to Melanie Meyers at mmeyers@bccampus.ca.
