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. 

More Information 

The SERT Initiative is supported and guided by the SERT Advisory Committee. The committee members are people with expertise in supporting system-wide collaboration, open licenses, educational technology, and educational resources. 

The SERT Initiative is funded by the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills and is part of the implementation of the British Columbia Post-Secondary Digital Learning Strategy, which aims to enhance how digital technology is used in post-secondary education across B.C. In particular, the SERT Initiative addresses Strategic Priority 2: System Collaboration.
