Post-Secondary Directory

About this book

One of the challenges of working in a relatively new field, like open education, is finding the community, tools, and support needed–especially at the local level. This directory is an open educational reference for post-secondary institutions in British Columbia and Canada. The first section focuses on B.C. colleges, institutes, and universities and the way in which each: provides support for its community; uses, creates, and evaluates open educational resources; and engages in open education on campus through events, a working group, and student involvement. The second section is divided into Canada’s remaining nine provinces and three territories, listed alphabetically. Each chapter begins with province- or territory-wide post-secondary information such the names and links to open education projects and collections, post-secondary library associations, and government advanced education departments or ministries. This is followed by post-secondary institutions that have posted their OER/OEP guides and involvement in open education. An overview of Canada’s national open education initiatives can be found in the appendix .
