The current team

Production: responsible for building and maintaining ~300 Open Learning courses. Managed by Carolyn Teare.

Media: build custom multimedia elements for TRU online courses. [Example here and here.] Provide support for campus users for video and media production.


Challenges: Support for Moodle and other learning technology (staffing, resources, model). Managing migration to Moodle on top of existing (growing) production workloads.


What we've done


Re-organized support model, initiated migration of OL courses to Moodle without any additional resources. (But we really need additional resources to achieve the goal as quickly as needed.)

The KUMU wiki. Plan to initiate a single-source documentation for support materials, other relevant uses. Example... this wiki page is rendered here. This page lives here. A single wiki page can live in multiple contexts. When wiki is updated, it applies across all contexts.




Ready for takeoff...

What I fear

We are critically short-staffed presently, and even with reinforcements expect that time will always be a challenge. Since assuming oversight of Production and Media, I've been struck by how they are always looking for ways to enhance our efficiency. We will be applying what they have learned to learning technology support for TRU. Nonetheless, the coming months will be crucial and difficult.




How do we support the adoption of Open Textbooks and open educational resources? TRU's Student Union is planning an advocacy campaign it may draw on (previous efforts.) How can we be ready?
