Open Scholarship is a broad and somewhat loose term that has emerged in response to a need to identify and speak to a growing number of open practices within academia. Open Access, Open Science, Open Data, and Open Education make up a sprawling landscape of interconnected approaches to and focuses on “openness”.
Welcome to the POSE Self-Paced Program!
Welcome! The Program for Open Scholarship and Education (POSE) is a flexible and blended program jointly presented by the UBC Open Working Group, the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology and UBC Library. The program ran from 2019-2025. It now has been developed into a self-paced resource that is intended to help you develop foundational knowledge of Open Scholarship, Open Education and Open Research. By engaging with the resource, you will:
- Develop an understanding of open scholarship in higher education and the intersections of each area: open access, education, data, and research
- Develop strategies to address potential risks and challenges when planning to engage in open practices
- Be prepared to support and develop open education, open access or open research projects
- Create an open project with the support of UBC experts and receive feedback from peers.
This brief getting started unit will introduce you to the concept of open scholarship as well as provide an overview of how the program will run.
