OER for Workforce Development

OER for Workforce Development | Open Educational Resources | Scoop.it
SkillsCommons provides a massive but navigable repository for the workforce development pipeline — supporting programs with affordable, openly licensed training and education materials.
Anaeli Villarreeal's curator insight, May 14, 9:57 AM
The SkillsCommons project, initiated in 2013 under California State University and MERLOT, led by Gerry Hanley, aimed to create a large repository of educational materials for workforce development. Supported by grants totaling nearly $2 billion from the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Community Colleges and Career Training (TAACCCT) program, it has become the world's largest collection of its kind. With over 180,000 users and 1.6 million downloads, it offers various resources including e-textbooks, online courses, and program management documents. Hanley's experience as both the executive director of MERLOT and the director of SkillsCommons has influenced its design and operation. The project team has been responsive to user needs, continuously developing new features and functions to enhance navigation and support users effectively.

CMAJ drops paywall - CMAJ News

CMAJ drops paywall - CMAJ News | Open Educational Resources | Scoop.it
Starting today, all new Canadian Medical Association Journal content is now freely available online, with older material becoming available on March 1, 2020.

Previously, CMAJ research articles, editorials and news stories were freely available, and other content including commentaries and practice articles were only fully available after one year.

Dr. Andreas Laupacis, editor-in-chief of the journal, says providing immediate free access to content will make the journal more relevant to discussions about improving Canada’s healthcare system.

“Some of the material in CMAJ that is useful to public discussion around important issues with our healthcare system were only available to CMA members and I think they are of broader interest to members of the public, patients and policymakers,” he says.
