Exciting news! TRU is launching a new and innovate program to create free textbooks and course materials! We were pleased to be part of the TRU Open Education Working Group over the past year working on this project! 📚 🌐 https://t.co/2DE7iUMy1m

I got a Father’s Day message from my son that only #OnCinema fans can understand. He almost didn’t finish it as it all began to sink in…

@pwmartin @CarolynIves @UPEI Please say hi to John from me! It’s been far too long.

A highlight of today’s #BCNET2023 was @iso_normalcy sharing his team’s impressive work building out UBC’s Learning Events and Learning Records Store implementation. Cool to see that learning tech development and capacity building is still a thing some places. And Jeff is so cool.

@ElwiraRosiak @MelRothenburger Ugh.

@dreamsanatomy @JamieDrozda Thanks so much for your contributions to the discussion!

@AnnGagne Sometimes a star shines so brightly, works so hard, and makes a difference with so many people that even academia can’t get it wrong.

Maybe I will find the words to express how happy and relieved this news makes me feel. Or to express how much Brenna means to our team, and to me. I doubt I ever will.

But I will say that this is a very, very good day for TRU. It means a lot that Brenna has made her place here.

I always appreciated working with Nancy at TRU. So passionate in working for the people she served. Now, she works for our community.

@Diomira57 The restaurant is supposed to stay open, but I worry how it may do without a year-round motel on site.

A conversation that just happened by my office door:

"Do you wanna see Cocaine Bear?"

"For sure! ...wait, is that a film?"

I may never be able to publish a proper roadtrip recap of the California/Oregon tour with @jimgroom, so for now a "Preamble, post-ramble."

The proposal is put forward by TRU's Open Education Working Group, @TRUSU15, the Office of Indigenous Education, @TRULibrary, the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching, and others.

I work with the most amazing people.

Excited to see that TRU's Open Education Working Group application for ISP budget funding is moved for further review.

The idea is to take existing open infrastructure and expertise in learning design, resource development and to formalize it as the TRU Open Press.

[Brian Lamb @brlamb]

"TRU Open Press is digital-first, differentiated by a commitment to unique and compelling knowledge mobilization strategies and expertise in the development of interactive media."

Check out the proposal here. It's open. That's how we roll. https://t.co/EvwJWgabCc
