Not exactly news as around these parts we had known for a while it was going to happen, but it was with a heavy heart that I came upon this updated homepage for the Centre for Curriculum, Transfer and Technology, or C2T2, my former employer. The Centre officially closed March 31, but as you can see many of its useful resources and services are being transitioned to other partners in the BC post-secondary system, and a good portion of the work C2T2 had started of late is now going ahead under the new banner of BCcampus.
So hopefully this marks just a transition to a new phase in BC rather than the end of an era – I know while I was at the Centre, as I travelled to various events in Canada I was met with something approaching envy by other provinces who longed for the kind of cooperation we seemed to be able to get happening in BC. No doubt it was the cooperative nature of West Coast folks in general that led to this, but I’d like to think that C2T2, and some key people in particular that I was fortunate to work with and learn from, had a little something to do with it as well. – SWL
