Trends in Adult Basic Education
My previous post on trends in education touched on open textbooks I wanted to further discuss and bring recognition to this project and its future implications for adult education accessibility. The BC Open Textbook Project is funded by the BC Ministry of Advanced Education and managed by BC Campus ( http://urls.bccampus.ca/abefundmath1 ). "An open textbook is a textbook licensed under an open copyright license, and made available online to be freely used by students, teachers and members of the public. Many open textbooks are distributed in either print, e-book, or audio formats that may be downloaded or purchased at little or no cost" ( Wikipedia ). My colleague Leanne Caillier-Smith at College of the Rockies is on the Advisory Committee for the Open Textbook Project dealing with Math at the fundamental level. We have had numerous discussions on the success of the program and the affect that it is having with regar...
An exciting trend in education today is presented by BCcampus OpenED. My employment with College of the Rockies is twofold. First, I work with Adult re-employment programs, and second, I am an auxiliary instructor for our Adult Basic Education (UACE-uprgrading for academic and career entry) program. Adult students striving to either complete their high school education or upgrading have experienced fluctuating trends in costs. For 10 years the programming was at little or no cost to the student. A couple of years ago the provincial government decided to create a cost recovery system and thus passing on the cost of the courses directly to the student. Grant money was available for those who met the financial criteria. However, this became a barrier for the students that were not eligible for grants and would be a financial hardship to enroll in a course. Our college held out for as long as they could. Finally, having to fo...
This episode of the podcast was truly insightful! Richard Gerver’s perspective on how leadership and learning drive meaningful change really resonated with me. It made me think about how structured analysis and informed decision-making are just as important in academic settings. For students struggling with complex subjects, finding the right guidance can make a huge difference. On that note, I’ve found that seeking econometrics assignment help has been invaluable in understanding challenging statistical concepts and applying them effectively.
