BC Campus OpenEdThe BC (British Columbia) Open Textbook initiative started in 2012 as a way for public post-secondary schools to save students money by providing open textbooks for the 40 highest-enrollment courses across the province. BC Campus already existed as a support forum for open education across British Columbia and was tasked by the Minister of Advanced Education to maintain and support the collection, the texts for which are written by BC post-secondary faculty, reviewed by B.C. faculty and made available under a Creative Commons license.
