Open Ed Tech

In the Faculty of Education, we use Open Learning Technologies like Etherpad, Kaltura, and Mattermost to support online learning. Open source technologies help promote education as a social good by helping us model effective use of technology any organization can use for free. There are many open learning technologies available to you that you may not have even heard of. Through a platform called Sandstorm we are able to support many of these technologies while still hosting them in Canada. In this session, Ian shared about OpenETC, an Open Educational Technology Collaborative which allows faculty and staff from BC Higher Education Institutions to experiment with open technology in a secure environment hosted in BC.
