The Award for Excellence in Open Education recognizes outstanding contributions to the open education movement in British Columbia. These contributions may include significant leadership, OER development, research, or advocacy by faculty, students, support staff, or administrators at post-secondary institutions in B.C. or others that support the post-secondary system in B.C. Individuals or teams may be recognized.
Anyone may propose a nomination, but individuals may not self-nominate. Individual award nominations are made in writing via the online form. The open education team at BCcampus adjudicates the award each month. Award winners receive a certificate of recognition and are profiled on the BCcampus website.
Note: There is no deadline for nominations as one award is granted every other month.
