Hi there fellow Open Educators,
It is with great excitement that I share the news that Chad
Flinn<https://loop.bcit.ca/people/cflinn1> is BCIT's inaugural Open Education
Faculty Champion! The BCIT Open Education Group is thrilled to be working with Chad to
advance Open Education at BCIT through awareness and advocacy. If you already knew this,
you might have seen the formal announcement in the
Loop<https://loop.bcit.ca/groups/bcit-news/blog/2020/01/08/bcits-open-education-faculty-champion?sr=stream>!
Chad is a provincial leader in Open Education, who walks the talk by integrating Open
Pedagogy into his teaching in the classroom. You can see a video of the work he has been
doing here:

Also, in June 2019 he was awarded BCcampus' Award for Excellence in Open
Education<https://bccampus.ca/2019/06/27/award-for-excellence-in-open-education-chad-flinn/>.
So, please join me in congratulating Chad and welcoming him to the Open Education Group at
BCIT!
Cheers,
Rosario
