The is our third video, in our series which aims to share stories of how open education is transforming teaching and learning across B.C.’s post-secondary sector and making education more accessible for all learners.
In this video, Tannis Morgan, Director, Centre for Teaching, Learning, & Innovation and Steve McCartney, Program Director of the Police Academy at the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) elaborate on how they wanted to remove resource costs for students in the Law Enforcement Studies (LESD) Diploma program long before the concept of Zed Creds gained prominence in British Columbia. A leader and innovator in the OER field, JIBC, with the support of BCcampus, is now well on their way to developing one of the first Zed Creds in Canada and the first in Law Enforcement Studies in Canada.
