SUMMARY:Reclaiming the Open Learning Environment
DESCRIPTION:The delivery of open online learning has become a more com
 mon practice (or at least a more desired practice) in higher education
  in recent years. In this session, two diverse universities will share
  their lessons learned in delivering open learning. UBC has long embra
 ced open learning projects through a robust WordPress and MediaWiki pu
 blishing framework that helped advance a broad range of open education
 al activities, including student produced OER and open courses. UBC’
 s embrace of both a self-maintained open infrastructure as well as eme
 rging third party platforms is creating new potentials for open educat
 ion at UBC. Meanwhile Thompson Rivers University (TRU) has an “Open 
 Learning” division with a long history of providing open access post
 -secondary distance education (online and print) by offering continuou
 s enrollment, flexible scheduling and minimal admission requirements, 
 as well as extensive capacity for Prior Learning Assessment and Recogn
 ition (PLAR) and a well-established transfer credit system. It is work
 ing to enhance its capacity to support learning and public engagement 
 via open platforms as well, via alignment with the Open Educational Re
 sources university (OERu) and by working with UBC to adapt its MediaWi
 ki and WordPress framework for its own needs.\n\nThis session will exa
 mine how institutions and instructors can provide open educational exp
 eriences and develop the required expertise, capacity and support syst
 ems. The co-facilitators of this session will identify sharable and ex
 tensible tools, approaches and means of cooperation that will allow ed
 ucators and learners to shape their open learning experiences.\n\nFor
