 Resources (OER) and Open Educational Practices (OEP) \n	A showcase of 
 selected TRU Open Press projects \n	Audience Q&A and live engagement

 education across British Columbia and their commitment to improving 
 access\, affordability\, and inclusion in post-secondary education.

 administrators. Let’s celebrate Open Education Week together and explore 
 how open education strengthens our community. \n\nOEWeek image by Mario
