of practice, open and reusable curriculum
materials and tools, professional
development resources, technology training
programs, and program and course
development opportunities that further the
interests of our member institutions.

STRATEGY 2 Build capacity through shared and
collaborative services
Research, evaluate and implement a shared
and collaborative services model that
leverages knowledge, experience and
infrastructure and reduces costs among our
post-secondary system partners.
