Hi there fellow Open Educators,

 

A week of awareness about Open Education, OER and Open Educational Practices is starting next week (Open Education Week)

 

To mark the occasion, BCIT is hosting one event on Monday, at the Library, to kick off the week:  Open Tools for Open Education. See attached flyer. Please circulate widely through your networks.

 

In addition, to generate awareness to the importance of open education, BCIT is co-sponsoring an event at The Shipyards campus of Capilano University, along with SFU, UBC, Langara College and University Canada West:

Also, there are many free events going on online and in the lower mainland. You can see event lists at the Open Education Week calendar and at the BCcampus calendar. Most post-secondary institutions in BC are hosting special events, so see if you can make time in your busy schedule to attend at last one or two.

 

Cheers,

Rosario
