Open Education Updates
To improve the discoverability of open textbooks in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection, we have updated our collection's subject categories to be more comprehensive. This means a number of new categories and subcategories that better reflect the structure and content of the collection. We welcome you to explore the new categories and send us any feedback that you have. And we send a big thank you to the BCOEL who provided us with resources, guidance, and feedback.
