Open Education Lab
Ontario Tech is proud to host the Open Education (OE) Lab - a student-run, staff-managed group that brings content and technological expertise to the timely creation of high quality Open Educational Resources (OER) that will be used directly in Ontario Tech courses by Ontario Tech students.
The OE Lab provides support for faculty, staff, and students in developing OER and using open education practices to support technology enhanced teaching and learning. Since 2018, our work has helped to save Ontario Tech students over $900,000 in textbook costs!
Students working with us gain valuable project management, content development, and communication skills which they can then apply to both their coursework and future careers.

I am in my third year of Medical Laboratory Science as a student under the Faculty of Health Science and I’ve been a part of the OE Lab as of May 2023. With the multiple projects that OE Lab has to offer, I look forward to branching off projects under my faculty and providing resources that upcoming students would appreciate. Apart from being a full time student and working, I usually spend the rest of my time baking, taking long walks, and playing video games.

I am going into my second year of Business administration specifically HR and I hope to pursue that as my pre-med program. I look forward to working with the OE lab to help contribute in making educational resources more accessible to a wide variety of students with different financial backgrounds. My hobbies include cooking, thrifting, gardening (specifically hydroponic), and spending money on my cat.Abinav
I am in my third year of software engineering, Faculty of Applied Sciences and Engineering. I have joined the OE lab since January of 2025 and I am very excited to contribute to the team. As I have recently joined the OE lab, I don’t have any prior experience but I am thrilled and excited about the future work. My hobbies are watching movies and building models like Gundam. Watching movies has sharpened my analytical skills as I enjoy analyzing character motivations and possible plot twists at the end of the story and through building models I have gained more focus and patience which I believe are essential in any field that I work.Maha
