About Me

Hi! I’m Will Engle and I work for UBC’s Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology as a strategist[ for open education initiatives. Specifically, I support with projects that are leveraging technologies, approaches and pedagogies to support open learning and scholarship. With a background in library science, I am interested in understanding and supporting the removal of barriers[ that limit access to, and participation in, education, information, and knowledge.

My contact information is available at https://ctlt.ubc.ca/people/will-engle/, my blog is here: http://blogs.ubc.ca/open, and materials from many of my past presentations and workshops can accessed here.
