Hello Everyone,
You and your colleagues are invited to this Thursday's 10 to 11 am
webinar<https://bccampus.ca/event/oer-funding-webinar-3m-now-what/> on:
OER Funding Webinar: $3M… now what?
Funding of $3.26 million for OER, including more open textbooks, was announced by Melanie
Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training at the Cascadia Open Education
Summit in April 2019.
BCcampus will be using this funding with the goal of meeting the needs of instructors and
making it as easy and attractive as possible to use OER in classrooms — through better OER
and OER-related support services and online infrastructure for a broad range of
educational programs.
Join BCcampus’ Associate Director of Open Education, Amanda Coolidge, as she outlines the
details of the funding allocation for the $3 million and what BC can expect to see in the
next 1, 2, and 3 years. Webinar details can be found
here<https://bccampus.ca/event/oer-funding-webinar-3m-now-what/>.
Regards,
Lauri Aesoph
Manager, Open Education
