Dear colleagues, I am delighted to share the news that Arley Cruthers will be joining the Open Education team for the Spring 2020 semester as a Teaching Fellow. A recipient of the BCcampus Award for Excellence in Open Education<https://bccampus.ca/2019/05/30/award-for-excellence-in-open-education-arley-cruther/>, Arley brings great experience with creating and adapting open educational resources (OER) as well as with designing courses to integrate elements of open pedagogy in her Applied Communications courses. If you are unfamiliar with Arley’s work, check out the latest episode of the well-known Teaching in Higher Ed podcast<https://teachinginhighered.com/podcast/process-over-product-in-o…n/>, which features her as this week’s guest. Although Arley will primarily be working to support OER and ZTC program development within the School of Business, she will also be involved in supporting institution-wide open education initiatives next semester. Please join me in congratulating Arley!
