I am excited to share my latest publication, co-authored with Oya Pakkal and Xiaoyang Xia--both research assistants in our Inclusive Education Research Lab at Brock University--on the multi-year impact of Canada's first Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) degree programs, at my former institution Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Very excited to announce that I am launching the (tied-for) 1st #MSW (masters of #socialwork ) program that is #ZTC #OER and #workfirst.

If you know of anyone looking, we are a fully online program. Half sync/async. Designed for working students.

And recently awarded pre-candidacy by #CSWE.

@impactology do you of any efforts to bring a platform like into the ? I recently built a pressbooks site for my college for our effort and now I want to see a federated book system. I don’t know much about but from what I see it is more for reviews than for text distribution? If this already exists I would appreciate being educated

@TusculumPearson Which could be the basis for side conversations about openness beyond costs and about alternatives to textbooks. As much I like the overall #ZTC idea and related #ZedCred moves, it's possible that "what's best for learners" goes beyond instructor-led no-cost courses in institutional programs using no-cost textbooks. I know it may sound radical. I just need healthy doses of bell hooks, Ivan Illich, and Paolo Freire.
