SUMMARY:Open for Collaboration: Is it Time for Canada to Implement A U
 nified Open Strategy for Higher Education?
DESCRIPTION:Embedded within the vision of post-secondary institutions
  across British Columbia are the values of contributing to knowledge a
 cross disciplines and sharing the results of research with the local a
 nd global communities.\nSpurred by the need to make higher education a
 ccessible to all, the open movement has gained ground as the Internet 
 evolved to enable easy sharing of different forms of media. However, w
 hile the notion of \"open\" in higher education has been growing in Br
 itish Columbia, the default scholarly approach is still closed.  \nIt
  is time for the scholarly conversation to shift from why open, to why
  not open?\nThis event will feature discussion about collaboration wit
 hin the open movement and role of openness in higher education in Brit
 ish Columbia and examine:\n\nif and why BC’s universities and colleg
 es should embrace open practices\nwhat impact open access and the reus
 e of educational materials would have on the cost and efficacy of high
 er education\nwhat role the governments of Canada and British Columbia
  should play in opening higher education\n\nThe event is open to all a
 nd free, but seating is limited and registration is required.\n\nFor m
