Thank you very much Amanda! Through this program we certainly hope to assist other practitioners and institutions in building their own capacity to effectively support open educational practices.
Cheers,
Rajiv

Subject: [Canadaoer] Announcing the Professional Program in Open Education
Happy Open Education Week everyone!
At Kwantlen Polytechnic University we are proud to have built world-leading institutional supports for open education, including for our ground-breaking
Zero Textbook Cost program, the creation, adaptation, and adoption of
open educational resources (including a
grant and
publishing program), and faculty fellowships for
open pedagogy and open education research.
Today I am thrilled to share that we have developed and are now launching a comprehensive, flexible, and online training program for learners worldwide. Our new
Professional Program in Open Education is the ideal professional development opportunity for educators, practitioners, technologists, librarians, leaders, policymakers, and others who endeavour to widen equitable
access to education. This program is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation for new practitioners as well as to complement and significantly advance the expertise of those already working to support open education.
This program is designed to develop expertise and capacity across a broad spectrum of open educational practices, including open educational resources and pedagogies, educational technologies, policy, advocacy,
and scholarship. The program balances both theoretical and practical elements, always ensuring that critical perspectives and issues are foregrounded. The program is open to all and does not require institutional membership or sponsorship.
Post-secondary institutions, non-profit organizations, government agencies, foundations, GLAM, and other groups seeking to advance the goals of open education may draw on this program to develop their staff
expertise and capacity. The program is intentionally designed to include practical elements and provides the opportunity for participants to develop and refine organization-specific tools, policies, and programs.
The courses in the Professional Program in Open Education have been developed by globally-recognized experts and are offered through KPU’s Continuing & Professional Studies. To express interest in enrolling
in this program (commencing Fall 2022) or to learn more, visit:
