Documentation:Open Education/Platforms

Platforms

There are any number of tools that can support open education practice online. Essentially, if the materials are discoverable, linkable and downloadable from the open web (ie without special access or software requirements) they are well on their way. UBC supports open source platforms that are especially well suited to open educators.

• UBC Blogs - see this example.

• UBC Wiki - see this entry on courses on the wiki.

• UBC CMS - A WordPress based content management system that includes the UBC common look and feel theme. See [1] for an example of a course on this platform.
