I work for Creative Commons as Associate Director of Global Learning.

Based in Canada I work from my home just outside of Vancouver.

 

My entire career has been in the education sector with a special focus on use of educational technology for adult learning. About 50% of my work experience has been in the private sector and 50% in the public sector. My private sector experience has been primarily in the high tech sector. I worked for small startup tech companies in the 1980's and in the 1990's worked for Hughes Aircraft leading the development and delivery of training associated with use and maintenance of large scale air traffic control systems around the world. I left the private sector to help create a new online university from scratch and after the launch of that university continued on in higher education leading initiatives around online learning, teaching and learning professional development, and Open Educational Resources (OER). Having worked in both the private and the public sector I'm fluent in the cultures of both and can bridge between them easily.

 

As a senior leader I've had the responsibility of leading large scale multi-million dollar initiatives. I understand how to manage finances and teams to generate results on time and on budget. I have a flair for interpersonal relations and know how to bring out the best in people. I also have a nose for business and have frequently had responsibilities for generating new business opportunities and landing new contracts. 

I have four degrees including a B.Sc in Biology, a B.A. in Psychology, a B.Ed in Education, and an M.Ed. in Adult Learning and Global Change.

 

I'm especially interested in education from an international and global perspective. This interest began when I worked for Hughes Aircraft of Canada in the 1990's where I was involved with projects in Switzerland, Indonesia, and China. Since then I've gone on to take a 100% online international graduate program called Adult Learning and Global Change involving students and instructors from four universities around the world - University of British Columbia (Canada), Linköping University (Sweden), University of the Western Cape (South Africa), and University of Technology, Sydney (Australia). After graduating from that program I became an Associate Faculty member at Royal Roads University where I co-developed and taught an online International and Global Distance Education course for the Master of Arts in Learning and Technology program.

 

At Creative Commons as Associate Director of Global Learning I work with educators all around the world on adopting and using Creative Commons licenses for Open Educational Resources, Open Access, open data, and open policy.

Work Experience Highlights

 

I've had the honour to work with many talented people.

I'd like to acknowledge them for mentoring me and being part of the many teams I've had the privilege of leading.

The following highlights of my own work experience would not have been possible without them.

 

Creative Commons

Associate Director of Global Learning leading and supporting a wide range of education partnerships and initiatives including the US Department of Labor TAACCCT program (the largest OER initiative in the world), the Open Policy Network, Institute for Open Leadership, and the US State Department Open Book Project for the Middle East and Northern Africa. As part of my work I give presentations and keynotes at many events. All presentations are posted to http://www.slideshare.net/Paul_Stacey.

 

BCcampus

At BCcampus I was part of the senior leadership team providing education technology services for the entire public post-secondary system of British Columbia including all twenty five universities and colleges. Our focus was on generating inter-institutional partnerships and collaborations providing services that no one institution can do on their own. At BCcampus I had overall responsibilities for curriculum development and delivery (particularly Open Educational Resources), communities and academic growth, communication and marketing, and stakeholder relations. 

 

Senior management planning and project management responsibilities including vision, goals, budgets, schedules, policies, and contracting.

 

Overall responsibility for client service team of staff who provide technology based services for:

  • Student Services and Data Exchange
  • Curriculum Development and Delivery
  • Educational Applications and Services
  • Communities and Academic Growth

 

As part of the curriculum development and delivery service area I lead the design and development of an Open Educational Resources initiative for British Columbia's public post-secondary system.

The BCcampus Open Educational Resource initiative comprised of:

  • Online Program Development Fund - annual Ministry of Advanced Education funding from 2003-2010 totaling $9 million dollars, distributed to inter-institutional partnerships for development of online learning courses and credentials. History, summary, and analysis of the outcome of this fund can be found at https://portal.bccampus.ca/confluence/display/OPDF/OPDF+Analysis
  • Open Licenses - Creative Commons and a unique BC Commons license used to make the course resources developed through the Online Program Development Fund freely shareable and reusable by others.
  • Shareable Online Learning Resources Repository (SOL*R) - a database housing all the course resources developed through the Online Program Development Fund making them available to be previewed and downloaded by others.

 

This work established the foundation for the current BCcampus Open Textbook initiative.

 

As part of the communities and academic growth area I lead the deployment of a network of online communities and support development of teaching and learning and the use of educational technology across British Columbia's public post-secondary system.

A sample of initiatives in the BCcampus communities and academic growth service area includes:

 

Develop and implement strategy that leads to partnerships across educational sectors and within the public post-secondary system using a connect, collaborate, innovate approach to stakeholders.

 

I'm also responsible for communications and marketing and as part of that work have responsibilities for BCcampus web sites and collateral such as:

 

The Ministry of Advanced Education proclaimed 2010-2011 the Year of Science and I took on management responsibilities for the design, development, and hosting of the Year of Science web site including a mobile version.

 

Through 2007 I led the design, development, and implementation of an interactive online game for students called Dare2BDigital which used real online learning courses to promote awareness of, and enrolments in, online learning offerings from BC's public post secondary institutions. Dare2BDigital won a 2008 WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies (WCET) Outstanding Work Award (WOW)
