There is a trend in many things to go “open” – open source software, open data, and even open education resources, textbooks, and courseware. Our guest speaker, Clint Lalonde of BCcampus, is managing a BCcampus project to have 40 free and openly licensed textbooks for the most common first and second year post-secondary courses.
This free “half hour how to Moodle” covered:
What is the value of “open”?
Where we can find open education resources?
Details of BCcampus’ open textbook project.
Examples of Moodle using open resources.
How-to implement open resources in Moodle.
