Integrated Digital Learning Resources
Digital Learning Considerations

Faculty
Students
• Local digital learning initiatives• Human capacity• Policy and privacy• Infrastructure• More resources to choose from• Integration of materials to
support educational goals• Available supports• Access to materials• Affordability• Educational value• Learning experience
Faculty or Department Open Resources Publisher Resources Teaching resources based on
research/expert knowledge of subject
Updated regularly as part of teaching function
Malleable and adaptable to students based on needs
Maintained and updated by author/s
Ability to self publish Collaborative authoring Localization and customization of
resources
Available in many subject domains and disciplines
Free to reuse, revise, remix, redistribute and retain through CC
Collaborative authoring, revising and remixing to suit student needs
Position Libraries as the centre for collections of open access, discipline-specific OER
Associates institutions more closely with BC Open Textbook Project
Support for new models of teaching practice
Support for open pedagogies
Available in most subject domains and disciplines
Lower cost for students Publisher resources price-capped Students have access to required
resources Retain and print rights Latest versions available through
digital collections model Ability for faculty to select
individual chapters BC Privacy regulations adhered to
(FIPPA) Analytics available for some
online resources Tech support provided
Faculty and Instructor Interests
Faculty have their own workflows associated with the selection and use of learning resources
Sometimes departments specify the textbooks or resources for instructors to use
Malleable and adaptable resources could provide opportunities for customization or localization
However…We need to understand the requirements for different resource options (other than printed texts)
We need to understand and support the resource selection process
We need to understand what a streamlined distribution process for getting resources to students would look like
Library Interests Enabling search, discovery and preservation of digital resources
Supporting faculty in creation publication of OER text & resources
Active BCOER Librarians group facilitating adoption of OER content
Teaching and Learning Centre InterestsExploring teaching models like flipped classrooms, digital lab materials, adaptive learning systems, and other approaches
Exploring co-research and co-creation models for curriculum resource creation and sustainability
Exploring LMS for the delivery of digital resources
Dr. Jamie MulhollandDepartment of Mathematics, SFU
Bookstore Interests
Modern digital resource delivery model needed for the Bookstore Publisher agreements needed to lower student costs (40 – 70%) Keep a 2% cap on cost increases on an annual basis (in line with BC Gov)
Rationale for Sector-Wide Collaboration
Benefit from the evolving digital learning resource landscape
Maximize choices available to faculty Facilitate the adoption of digital
content by faculty Increase students’ access to learning
resources
Reduce costs for students Reduce contract and negotiation

policies Improved administration of privacy &

Proposed DLRN Project Supports faculty members in their
selection of learning resources Leverages institutional synergies and
efficiencies in the acquisition, integration and implementation of openly-licensed or publisher-sourced digital learning materials
Sector-wide strategy and solution for adoption and scalable deployment of digital learning resources for BC post-secondary institutions
Seeks to support increased student success, educational affordability and improved access
Acquire Public Post-Secondary Administrative Service Delivery Transformation (ASDT) support for DLRN initial business case
Objectives Provide a framework for a cross-
sector, structured and focused discussion on digital learning resources
Facilitate the development of a common educational materials policy framework
Develop contract templates and publish effective practice guidelines related to vendor relationships
Provision a common, efficient, privacy-compliant platform for digital content (openly licensed and rights-managed/commercial) delivery
