Sponsors
Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills, and Training and BCcampus

Champions
Partners include advisory group, working group, articulation committees, in addition to project sponsors

eCampus Ontario have begun a similar process and it is our intention to collaborate with ON to co-develop resources in alignment with BC standards

Governance groups to be determined that provide sector representation.

In scope:

Develop entire suite of freely available resources including textbooks, test banks, homework assignments and other ancillary resources to replace costly commercial educational resources in Business and STEM education programs.

Out of scope:

Multiple phases to development to address all identified needs.

Eliminate textbook and learning resource costs throughout entire programs of study in Business and STEM.

Reduce education costs, increase student access, and incentivize students to pursue programs that meet provincial labour market and human resource needs

Impact more than 100,000 students

- Hire Project manager
- Conduct environmental OER scan
- Form Advisory Committees
- Determine which subject areas to focus on for ZTC development
- Calls for proposals (multiple, in stages): 6 months - October 2019, 12 months – April 2020, 18 months – December 2020
- Develop curriculum/OER Resources
- Digital publishing tasks

The target audience for the ZTC curriculum development is faculty and staff.

Target audience includes approximately 100,000 students in related programs.
