Re: [Canadaoer] Two positive developments at KPU

Excellent. Thank you. We’re doing some policy work here in ON, and these will be helpful additions for consideration and emulation. Enjoy your vacation Rajiv. d // David Porter, Ed.D.

We now have a searchable field in the course timetable for Zed Cred sections. To see how this works watch this video:https://media.kpu.ca/media/Search+the+course+timetable+for+zero+textbook+cost+courses/0_i6w7c3jc 2. Our Senate has now approved a policy that integrates a) a search for relevant OER and b) flagging as a potential Zed Cred course in the course development & revision process. Although this seems rather technical, in practice it means that within 5 years (the course review cycle at KPU) all courses will have undergone a search for OER. I am sharing these developments with this group because I am happy to provide guidance for anyone else seeking to achieve either of these two things.
