Hello everyone,
I am delighted to share news of the publication of a new open textbook by Christina Page
and her colleagues from the Learning Centres titled “University 101: Study, Strategize,
and Succeed,” available at
https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/studystrategizesucceed/
A recipient of an OER grant, Christina and her team (which includes Graeme Robinson-Clogg,
Rawia Inaim, and Vijaya Jammi, along with student assistant Anmol Mangat) have also
developed 25 learning strategies videos (
https://bit.ly/2IMhpvp) and soft launched two
interactive Online Academic Skills Workshops (Reading Texts and Time Management for Busy
Students) (
http://www.kpu.ca/asw-online).
Together, these resources eliminate the need to purchase commercial learning strategies
texts (e.g., in the Learning Centre, for Orientation programming), enhance student access
to Academic Skills development opportunities, and increase opportunities for instructors
to integrate learning strategies into their courses.
Please join me in congratulating Christina and her team.
Cheers,
Rajiv
