If open education only relies on invisible labour, that makes it exclusive #OAWeek #OpenButNotFree

Who is doing the work of open scholarship, who is participating, and who is excluded? #OpenButNotFree #OAWeek

If students can't afford their textbooks, how can they be expected to thrive in post-secondary education? Adoption of #opentextbooks can help students succeed and never have to choose between buying food or buying course material #textbookbroke

Very exciting! https://t.co/P3e4iWvJI7

@aliversluis @v_woolf From our experience, whether or not an academic library has a dedicated Open Education position really depends on the institution. The trend does seem to be heading that way though (we hope)! If you like, reach out to our BCOEL members for a better idea of their portfolios

[BCOEL @BC_OEL]

@aliversluis Thanks @v_woolf for the mention!

Yes @aliversluis, although not all job titles of @BC_OEL members focus solely on #OER, many of us have Open Education as part of our work portfolio! Check out the members of our Steering Committee: https://t.co/ujI3idzLxn
