Interim Executive Director
BCcampus Annual Review – 2022/2023
Message from Amanda Coolidge, Interim Executive Director
This past year, 2022–2023, was one of transition for BCcampus. Our former executive director, Mary Burgess, moved on to work in the post-secondary system. I, Amanda Coolidge, became the interim executive director.
BCcampus has a reputation for excellence in the sector, and we will continue to provide learning and teaching experiences for all through open educational resources, inventive approaches to digital learning and teaching, and supporting educators to find the time and resources to fill the gaps in today’s post-secondary education.
As you will read throughout the annual review, BCcampus has had a big impact across the system. The B.C. Open Collection continues to grow: to date, open educational resources have saved B.C. post-secondary students over $34 million. Our Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) program had over 860 registrants across 24 sessions. Our work on a new digital literacy project that aligns with the Digital Literacy Framework means we’re collecting, curating, adopting, and adapting openly licensed resources to create accessible modules. And BCcampus continues to work with the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills to develop micro-credentials. To date, over 220 micro-credentials are available through B.C. post-secondary institutions.
As we look to the future, we will continue to share effective, inclusive, and accessible post-secondary teaching and learning practices that enhance the student experience in B.C.
About Us
At BCcampus we are innovators and implementers, leaders, and learners. Our primary focus is supporting educators and learning design and support staff in B.C. post-secondary institutions to create better learning experiences for students. We do this through a variety of projects, learning opportunities, research, and open education activities in collaboration with partners in B.C. and around the world.
