This guide was created through a collaboration between members of a number of open working groups in B.C. and BCcampus. It was developed with a team of librarians, educational developers, and instructional designers in 2017 and 2018. The group met twice virtually, and we worked together in two day-long sprints at the BCcampus offices. During the sprints, we completed a collaborative design process, during which we developed a vision for the resource, set goals, and created a table of contents. To read more about the sprint process, take a look at the sprint toolkit in Appendix 1 of this book.

The knowledge and ideas shared in this resource come from the approaches taken by open working groups throughout British Columbia. In particular, we want to acknowledge the writers and contributors including:
