BCcampus supports open education through several initiatives: developing and promoting open educational resources to reduce student costs, connecting expertise across BC post-secondary institutions, and building support for librarians and faculty to advocate for open education. BCcampus helps develop open textbooks and provides resources, grants, communities of practice, and education events to support the adoption and adaptation of open textbooks. The organization aims to lower barriers to post-secondary education through open licensing of educational materials.
