Open School BC celebrates the completion of the Heavy Mechanical Trades Apprenticeship Foundation/Level 1 learning resources

The sending of Line E to Crown Publications marks the end of a multi-year collaboration with Industry Training Authority (ITA) to develop Foundation/Level 1 learning resources for Heavy Mechanical Trades. Begun in 2012 with the revision of Lines A and C, the 10-line series of books comprises approximately 3,110 pages and 2,370 images (photos and technical drawings). OSBC worked closely with Heavy Mechanical instructors at several colleges and universities who acted as the writers and reviewers.

Thanks goes to the following: Solvig N. for her expertise with the initial stages of the project; the OSBC production team including Sharon B, Dennis E, Bev H, Nori S, and Farrah P; Janet B, and Sophia B-B for their supervisory support; Jennifer R, for her liaison with ITA; Shannon S for her administrative and art coordination support; Max Licht for the technical drawings; and Greg Aleknevicus and Keith Learmonth for editing. Special thanks to Dennis E as a key player in the development of these learning resources for his layout design, photography and technical drawing skills, and art coordination.

It is truly the end of an era.

It is 2019 and Open School BC is celebrating a century of work in distributed learning.

Founded in 1919 as the British Columbia Correspondence Program, we first offered printed courses to students in rural settings. 100 years later, we offer online courses, educational services and resources for both public and independent schools, as well as the public sector. The delivery of educational materials may have changed, but our goal is still the same: supporting learners and teachers with high quality resources whether it’s in the classroom, at home or in the office.

Keeping pace with technological and societal shifts, distributed learning has evolved over the past century. As we showcase our history, we will look fondly at the events, images and stories that shaped our past… and reflecting on how we will meet the educational needs of British Columbians for the next 100 years.

We invite you to explore with us as we dip into the Open School BC archives. We’ll bring you stories and snippets from our history, and then share our evolution into the creative and skilled team that makes up the modern Open School BC. We’ll finish the year with a look to the future and share some of the exciting projects we have in development.

Here’s to another century of learning.
