Hi there fellow Open Educators at BCIT!

 

As some of you may already know… Open Education Week 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. (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.

Rosario
