After searching over 100 resources collections and lists from Canada, the U.S., U.K. and Australia, we have developed a fully vetted collection of workbooks, modules and activities that address a range of instructional topics in our Open Educational Resources and Instructional Materials Collection.

To build the collection, Christine and Guylaine assembled a group of instructors from school boards and community groups, representing urban and rural communities across the province. Members work in program areas ranging from workforce development to academic, with diverse learner groups. They provided guidance to ensure the materials are

• Free and ad-free
• Shareable and reproducible
• Mostly modifiable for use in different formats and to change content
• Ready-to-use with instructional activities
• Accompanied by tips, ideas and strategies for educators to implement.

Take some time to explore the collection. You’re sure to find some gems that you can use right away.
