Douglas College acknowledges that our campuses, where we live, learn, and work are located on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples of the QayQayt and Kwikwetlem First Nations.
Dear colleagues,
I am absolutely thrilled to announce that we are growing our team by hiring an additional Open Education Strategist. This is a full-time and ongoing position located within the Teaching & Learning Commons<https://www.kpu.ca/teaching-and-learning> at Kwantlen Polytechnic University<https://www.kpu.ca/> (KPU). See: https://tre.tbe.taleo.net/tre01/ats/careers/v2/viewRequisition?org=JT63GS&c…
The Open Education Strategist provides project management and support for various open education initiatives and direct pedagogical consultation and technical training to KPU educators and programs on how to discover, adopt, adapt, or create open educational resources (OER) and how to design learning experiences that integrate principles of open pedagogy. The incumbent oversees the regular collection, management, and reporting of data for the Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) program, plans the Open Education Research Institute, and provides support to OER grantees, Open Pedagogy Fellows, and Open Education Research Fellows. Through consultations, materials and training, the incumbent communicates open education trends and practices to educators and peers. Collaborating with Teaching and Learning Commons staff, librarians, and other stakeholders within and outside of KPU, this position advances, supports, and evaluates open educational practices for KPU.
Qualified candidates will have current knowledge of Creative Commons licenses and how to discover, adopt, revise, and remix OER educational resources (OER). A demonstrated ability to create or adapt OER using open education tools (e.g., Pressbooks, H5P, etc.), current knowledge of open pedagogy (e.g., renewable assignments), and the ability to design, develop and deliver information, resources and training on open educational practices is required. A Bachelor’s degree is required. A specialization in Communications, Education, Marketing, Educational Technology, or Library & Information Science would be an asset. This is a unionized (BCGEU) position that includes benefits.
KPU has five campuses located in the Metro Vancouver region of British Columbia and offers bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, diplomas, certificates and citations in more than 140 programs. Almost 20,000 students annually attend courses at KPU campuses in Surrey, Richmond, Langley, Cloverdale, and Civic Plaza.
The University welcomes and encourages applications from women, visible minorities, Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, persons of any sexual orientation, and persons of any gender identity or gender expression. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
A review of applications will begin on January 21, 2022; however, the position will remain open until filled.
Please feel free to share this posting widely. I would be happy to address any questions about this position.
Thank you very much,
Rajiv
