Hello everyone,

Before I sign off for some vacation time I wanted to share two recent developments at KPU which I hope will serve as a model for other institutions:

1. 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.

Cheers,

Rajiv
