Hi there fellow Open Educators at BCIT!
As some of you may already know... Open Education
Week<https://www.openeducationweek.org/> is coming up at the beginning of March:
March 4 to 8, and there are lots of events going on at most of the post-secondary
institutions in the Lower Mainland to generate awareness, promote engagement and
collaboration. In fact, BCIT is co-hosting an all day event on March 6, at KPU in Richmond
titled Open in Action<https://www.openeducationweek.org/events/open-in-action-2019>19>.
(registration is free)
To kick start the celebrations around Open Education Week, BCIT is also hosting a Round
Table discussion on March 4, at the Library, Burnaby campus, titled OER for the Trades
(see attached poster with information) Promises to be a very engaging discussion, with
participation from BCcampus, BCIT and VIU. So, come hear from your fellow instructors, as
well as from other institutions, about perspectives on Open Education Resources for the
Trades. This Roundtable also features the participation of the LTC's own Bonnie
Johnston, who will be speaking about her experiences with the Trades Harmonization
project.
Hope to see some of you there! And please promote this event widely through your own
networks.
Have a great long weekend.
