AtlanticOER
AtlanticOER is a service that supports the hosting and creation of open educational resources by educators and students in the Atlantic provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
History
Funded by the Council of Atlantic Academic Libraries (CAAL-CBPA), AtlanticOER began as an Open Textbooks Survey working group in 2017-18. In 2018-19, an Open Textbooks Roadmap working group was formed, and this work was continued in 2020-21 by the OER Repository Implementation Working Group. Finally, 2021 saw the creation of the CAAL-CBPA OER Committee.
The AtlanticOER service was officially launched on February 9th, 2021.
