We are pleased to announce a call for nominations for the Open Education Resources (OER) Excellence and Impact Awards. These awards are open to faculty members at both campuses.
The OER Excellence and Impact Awards recognize outstanding work done by faculty who materially advance the use and impact of open educational resources in credit courses at UBC.
Nominees are assessed based on their overall excellence in creating, revising, or using OER in teaching and learning; the impact of their OER work for students, including addressing the affordability of educational materials; and contribution to the greater open education community at UBC.
Four awards are available: one individual and one group award at both UBC Okanagan and UBC Vancouver.
Nominations are due by November 14, 2024, with full application packages due January 8, 2025. More details can be found at https://open.ubc.ca/oer-award/.
