The Open Scholarship Primer was developed from the Program for Open Scholarship and Education (POSE), a hybrid blended program offered in 2019-2025 at the University of British Columbia. The primer explores how open copyright licenses, collaborative practices, and networked technologies have the potential to lower barriers to knowledge by making the processes and products of scholarship more distributed, transparent, and accessible. The text offers a content on the full spectrum of open scholarly activities including, open access, open research, and open education. The text contains multimedia components and self-assessments to allow participants to asynchronously practice what they learn.
The Program for Open Scholarship and Education (POSE) was a hybrid blended program offered in 2019-2025. The program is no longer being offered but an archived self-paced web option is available. For those interested in building their own open scholarship course, an HTML download is available for adaption.
