These images are used in a collaborative working space for BC postsecondary librarians interested in open education resources (OER) and informally meeting to discover and share ways we can support use of quality OER by faculty and students.

Objectives

The objective of the BCOER group is to develop a set of resources to support librarians in their interactions with faculty related to OER. The resources developed are meant to provide a single authoritative and sustainable space for all BC libraries in the identification and use of OER resources. [edit] Audience

The BC OER group will focus on the education and professional development of librarians facilitating faculty members in using and/or developing OER.

Goals

• Develop a process of identifying and assessing open education repositories (OERR) for use in research and instruction.
• Develop a list of vetted resources by subject for referral.
• Develop faculty discussion points for librarians on the subtle differences between OER and OA and their uses in research and instruction.
• Provide local and advertise local events for professional development.
• Develop a guide to OER initiatives.
