The Shared Educational Resources and Technology (SERT) Initiative aims to identify and support models for developing, delivering, and sustaining shared and open educational technologies and curriculum in the B.C. post-secondary system.
Activities
Between April 2024 and March 2026, the SERT Initiative aims to:
- Engage with three B.C.-based curriculum or educational technology projects to explore, identify, and work towards sustainability for each project.
- Solicit and publish a collection of case studies from existing post-secondary educational technology and curriculum projects that have established sustainability models.
- Prepare guiding resources that outline recommendations, models, frameworks, and good practices to inform future shared and open educational technology and curriculum projects in B.C.
- Administer an open call for proposals to support the sustainability of educational technology and curriculum projects in the B.C. post-secondary system.
