Evaluating Open Content

by Rosario Passos

Hi there fellow Open Educators, The evaluation of Open Content has long been a bit of a barrier to the adoption of OER. This brief article announces an online tutorial with a section on the evaluation of OER and shares the BCacmpus checklist. I thought I'd share. https://www.oerafrica.org/content/evaluating-open-content?fbclid=IwAR24f-Js… Cheers, Rosario

Zero Textbook Cost Pathway to Associate of Science Degree by BCcampus

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, A Zero Textbook Cost pathway to an Associate of Science degree<https://bccampus.ca/projects/open-education/pathway-to-associate-of-science…> is now available, based on existing OER that align with core requirements for Associate of Science programs in B.C. This pathway is designed such that a student could feasibly complete an Associate of Science degree without spending any money on textbooks, as they would only use OER and other free resources. In addition, BCcampus is awarding a grant to Thompson Rivers University so that they may develop their own institution-specific pathway. You can read more about that and the development of BCcampus' pathway in this blog post about the Associate of Science pathway<https://bccampus.ca/2020/07/07/a-pathway-to-open-for-science-programs-in-b-…>.
