Also, Lindsay, we can organise a panel discussion or a presentation/workshop with that group alone. I presented something at the Student Union Development Summit this past summer that was very well received and generated quite a bit of discussion. Let me know if you want to think about that and then we can chat. Maybe we can do something like that for Open Education Week at the end of March? Let me know.

Sadly, there’s been little interest/uptake to date. It’s great to see traction on other campuses though, and I’ll continue to proselytize here at Langara ;) Lindsay From: Bcoelsteering [ [ mailto:bcoelsteering-bounces(a)mail.bccampus.ca | mailto:bcoelsteering-bounces(a)mail.bccampus.ca ] ] On Behalf Of Amanda Coolidge Sent: January-12-17 10:54 AM To: Caroline Daniels Cc: bcoel; bcoelsteering Subject: Re: [Bcoelsteering] Textbookbroke campaigns Yes please do send our way- was there any press on it?
