Dear BCIT Open Education Community,

 

Welcome to the "Open BCIT" listserv!

 

In collaboration with BCcampus, BCIT has created and agreed to pilot the "Open BCIT" listserv to be used to share information about open education news, events, and resources at BCIT and BCcampus.

 

To post to this list, send your message to openbcit@mail.bccampus.ca.

 

As a participant you are free to use this listserv to disseminate your own open education information and news, or to ask colleagues for assistance about open educational issues. For instance:

• Looking for an open textbook in your subject area? Ask your BCIT colleagues for ideas.
• Wondering how to use Pressbooks or create an open textbook adaptation? Use this listserv to find out who has this expertise at BCIT.
• Wanting to find out details and deadlines for Open Education Grants? This is the place to check in!
• Interested in designing a course assignment wherein students edit Wikipedia articles or produce some other useful public resource? Reach out to colleagues who have already done this.
• Know of a great event about Open Education coming up and don’t know how to reach all OpenEd advocates at BCIT? This is where you can post it!

You have been added to this list because of your participation or interest in open education. You may have authored or reviewed an open textbook, attended an event or conference about open education or applied for an Open Education Grant at BCIT in the past.
