Planning group mapped present and future Open Learning objectives, enablers and constraints against four TRU “change goals”:

  • Eliminate achievement gaps.
  • Honour truth, reconciliation and rights.
  • Lead in community research and scholarship.
  • Design lifelong learning.

Draft OL mapping circulated for feedback, December 15 – January 21. We received 19 written feedback submissions, and four more people attended a discussion session convened by Brenna. Compiled, edited and submitted by Planning Committee (citation of valour for Brenna) January 31 (download PDF file).

Next steps: IPE is compiling submissions from across TRU. Provost will appoint Change Goal Leads, and feedback will be solicited on the draft. Will then go to PCOL and Board of Governors.
