For Open Education Week, take a break from webinars and tune into a conversation between four former undergraduate students who discovered open education through a co-op work term with BCcampus! We will explain some introductory concepts in open education, reflect on our experiences as students and working in open, and share things we’re excited about. This conversation is prerecorded and will be posted with a transcript on March 11 at 10:30 a.m. PT. Register to receive a link in your inbox when it goes live.
