Program for Open Scholarship and Education

The Program for Open Scholarship and Education (POSE) is a three month flexible and blended program that will help you develop foundational knowledge of Open Scholarship, Open Education, and Open Research. In POSE, we’ll be exploring how open copyright licenses, collaborative practices, and networked technologies have the potential to lower barriers to knowledge by making the processes and products of scholarship more distributed, transparent, and accessible.

POSE is intended for faculty, staff, postdocs, and students with an interest in open research, open access, open data and open education. The program is open and free for UBCO, UBCV, and non-UBC faculty, staff, and students at the post-secondary level.
