Good afternoon everyone,

I wanted to share this new resource developed at the University of Saskatchewan (see below). It is a lovely example of an open pedagogy project that involves Education students writing essays for a course that have been put together in an openly-licensed collection. This kind of project is among the type of proposals that our OER grant program is able to support: http://www.kpu.ca/open/grants

And of course the platform on which it resides is Pressbooks, which is a core part of our library’s Open Publishing Suite: https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS

Cheers,

Rajiv

Good afternoon.

 

I’m very excited to announce our first open textbook written by students at the University of Saskatchewan. This is also the first open textbook from our College of Education. Please see Sharing Our Knowledge: Best Practices for Supporting English Language Learners in Schools.
