Re: [Canadaoer] Canada OER group for CARL Report

This might help The Canada OER Group is a national working group of educators, facilitators, and administrators from various post-secondary institutions representing nine of our provinces and territories. The group came together in 2016 to share a common goal: make higher education more accessible by reducing student costs through the use of free or low-cost open educational resources (OER). https://bccampus.ca/2019/02/19/canada-oer-group-2019-update/ Amanda Coolidge, MEd [she/her] Associate Director of Open Education, BCcampus Cell: 250 818 4592 • Email: acoolidge@bccampus.ca<mailto:acoolidge@bccampus.ca> Twitter: @acoolidge <http://www.twitter.com/acoolidge> • LinkedIn: amandacoolidge<https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandacoolidge/> Learning.

I wanted to include the Canada OER group and was wondering if you had a short description handy that I could use? I wasn't sure if the group was still doing calls and didn't want to misrepresent any details!
