Open Scholarship Awards 2025 – Dr. Andrea Webb receives Honourable Mention

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Andrea Webb (University of British Columbia), SCVN Project Co-director, has won an Honourable Mention at the 2025 Open Scholarship Awards for creating the But I Live Educators’ Resource.

Recognized by the Canadian Social Knowledge Institute and its partners, including the Implementing New Knowledge Environments project, Open Scholarship Award recipients demonstrate exemplary open scholarship via research, projects, or initiatives. Open scholarship incorporates open access, open data, open education, and other related movements that have the potential to make scholarly work more efficient, more accessible, and more usable by those within and beyond the academy. By engaging with open practices for academic work, open scholarship shares that work more broadly and more publicly.

In collaboration with UBC’s Bachelor of Education Program teacher candidates, Dr. Andrea Webb developed the online educational resources to accompany the graphic novel But I Live: Three Stories of Child Survivors of the Holocaust.

This work was completed as part of their Community Field Experience (CFE) and was created by educators for educators. It draws on current classroom practices, pedagogy, and curriculum, and is designed for flexible implementation by teachers in a variety of classrooms.
