    1. UNESCO’s canonical definition of OER does not require “free public access” to a resource for that resource to be an OER

      Here's an excerpt from the UNESCO recommendation that I really like: "Inclusive and equitable access to quality OER: OER are shared online and offline, in editable formats, on platforms that make them easy to find, use, adapt and share"

    1. practice

      I like how you included "training" in the Emerging category because so much of open pedagogy necessitates the development of new skills (which may then be practiced and applied). Wondering therefore about whether the training bit should stay across the Developing and Transforming categories?

    2. One programme leading to a certificate is now available.

      KPU now has 3 Zed Cred programs, including an Associate of Arts Degree in General Studies. More will be launched over the next year.

    3. OER are still not commonly known in institutions and governments.

      This has changed a lot. 90% of BC institutions now adopt open textbooks. Awareness has grown across the country, with many institutions, from Yukon College to UPEI supporting OER adoption. Many institutions now have cross-functional OER working groups.

    1. pilotprojects

      I love the idea of these innovation pilots. I am especially interested in looking at the role that Open Pedagogy can play in OERu courses. If we design some elements within our courses that enable students to help shape, update, and otherwise improve the courses, this could be a very innovative and efficient way to support the continual update process.
