Testimonials

  • "The people at Rebus have shown deep dedication to the importance of OER, and to working collaboratively with us on our project. In addition, they have been instrumental in the development of a larger community of people working on various OER projects. Creating and supporting such a community is crucial to the sustainability of OER, I believe. I am thrilled Rebus has taken a lead in fostering this kind of community"

    — Dr. Christina Hendricks, University of British Columbia

  • “There is something powerful about collaborating with people who share your passion for education, regardless of geography, background, or subject matter.”

    — Amy Minervini, OPC Facilitator

  • “The facilitation was supportive and provided meaningful feedback that guided the improvement of my project at each stage. I especially appreciated the balance between independent work and collaborative sessions, which encouraged both creativity and accountability. Overall, the program helped me grow professionally and feel more confident in creating and sharing open educational resources.”

    — Dr. Denean Robinson, OPC Graduate June 2025

  • “I didn't know what to expect from [the SMC], but it has been one of the best experiences I have had in a while. Taking this course has given me more inspiration and tools to create better and more engaging material. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for more guidance and help on making their course better.”

    — SMC Graduate 2026

  • “I was inspired by the cohort of faculty, librarians, and instructional designers from across North America who are rethinking assessment and transforming learning environments. Together, they are creating authentic learning experiences that position students as co-creators of knowledge.”

    — Jessica Gemella, SMC Facilitator

  • "The task of creating an OER text seemed insurmountable and impossible but from the very start Rebus has been encouraging and supportive. I have constantly felt surrounded by the reassurance Rebus offers as I embark on this new adventure. They provide excellent resources not only in print but also in the wealth of personal knowledge and guidance they offer."

    — Amanda Taintor, State Center Community College District
