Event Description

The Program for Open Scholarship and Education (POSE) is a four 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 to UBCO, UBCV, and non-UBC faculty, staff, and students at the post-secondary level.

You will learn about:

  • Open Education
  • Open Access
  • Open Research
  • Open Data
  • Open Tools

By completing this program you will gain the tools and strategies to become proficient in supporting and advocating for open practices. POSE is jointly presented by the UBC Open Working Group, the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology and  UBC Library. 

Program Learning Objectives

  • Develop an understanding of open scholarship in higher education and the intersections of each area: open access, education, data, and research
  • Develop strategies to address potential risks and challenges when planning to engage in open practices
  • Be prepared to support and develop open education, open access or open research projects
  • Create an open project with the support of UBC experts and receive feedback from peers

Program Format

To support participant flexibility, the program is composed of online self-paced modules that you can complete over four months. You are also required to participate in two online synchronous sessions during the program. We will also host optional sessions each month where you can engage with various practitioners in the different areas of open scholarship and meet other participants in a synchronous environment. Upon completion, you will receive a Certificate of Completion.
