Open at Scale

With a goal to collaboratively design and develop common modules to core courses across several programs, eCampusOntario is sponsoring our college and university partners to contribute their in-house experts in subject matter, educational technology, information management, curriculum development, and instructional design. Under the umbrella, Open at Scale, eCampusOntario wants to promote and support consistent design and development for open educational resources (OER) for these projects. The purpose of this short guide, part creation and part curation by eCampusOntario Program Manager, Peggy French, was to provide a springboard for discussion during a f2f meeting with interested experts in March 2019.From these basic elements, the subject matter experts, who convened in Toronto, assisted in building an acceptable template and guiding principles to provide high-quality and consistent learning modules for the designated modular content. Beyond concentrated savings in these disciplines, eCampusOntario is hopeful this coordinated design and development further builds the open community across Ontario's colleges and universities.
