Learning Technology Decisions
The LT Hub manages the review process that determines what learning technologies are centrally supported at UBC. In coordination with learning technology governance groups, decisions are made about which tools or additional Canvas functionalities to consider and add to—or remove from—the Learning Technology Ecosystem each year.
Faculty Working Groups
Faculty working groups are an important part of helping us evaluate learning technologies to fill gaps as they arise. Instructors in working groups collaboratively develop core criteria to compare the available tools and provide recommendations on which technologies should receive central funding and support.
Student Opportunities
We welcome student involvement and input in the LT Hub, primarily through co-op positions, participation in studies and committees, and hands-on hackathon events.
Open-Source Projects
Open-source projects are learning technologies that are open to the public to view, download, install, and use. The original source code is made freely available, so these projects also encourage contributions, meaning people who download and change the code can in turn share their changes for everyone else to use. The LT Hub has started several open-source projects and contributes to existing projects started by others.
