Students' Association of Olds College: 2025-2026 OERs Proposal
“Let knowledge be a river, not a gate. Let learning be shared, not sold. In every open resource, a quiet revolution unfolds.”
At the Students’ Association of Olds College (SAOC), we believe that knowledge should flow freely and accessible to all, unbound by barriers.
That vision is at the heart of our 2025–2026 proposal for Open Educational Resources (OERs) at Olds College. OERs help to make education more affordable, accessible, and flexible by providing students with the resources and materials they need for academic success!
You can view the proposal on the SAOC website, or by following the link below!
