Become more OPEN and ACCESSIBLE for our students!

“The focus of many open education projects is to provide access to education. But what does access mean? If the materials are not accessible for each and every student, do they fulfill the mandate to deliver fully open education? The open education movement has helped students access content that they would otherwise not be able to view or interact with. Open education resources reduce costs for students and allow for greater flexibility for instructors. Accessibility can help push the movement even further forward.”

- The University of British Columbia OER Accessibility Toolkit

In this hands-on, interactive workshop we will help you modify your existing teaching material so that it is more accessible and open. Come to this workshop with an assignment (or two) or with any other teaching resource that you would like to update so that will become open and more accessible.

Share Your Comments, Questions, Suggestions…

In the pages (or pubs as they are called on this platform) below, you can also share your opinions and ideas with others. To comment on a specific section/sentence of a pub, highlight the section. To the right of the text, the options to add a comment or to link to that line will pop up. When you click on the discussion bubble, a text box will appear in the lower right of your window, from which you can draft and submit your comment. To make a general comment on the pub, you can click on the “Add” button under discussions either in the right toolbar as you read the pub, or at the bottom of your pub.

Thank you.
