🎉 It's here! The Rebus Foundation is thrilled to share our latest resource, Bridging the Gap: The OER Workforce Playbook for Higher Education and Industry, created in partnership with the DOERS Collaborative.

Educators and employers share the same goal — preparing a capable, skilled workforce — but too often work in silos. Stuck in the middle? Learners, holding credentials that don't always translate into jobs.

This openly licensed playbook makes the case for OER as a strategic bridge, with:

✅ Our SKILLBRIDGE framework — concrete strategies for co-creating workforce-aligned OER
✅ Findings from focus groups with 49 educators and industry leaders across the US and Canada
✅ Ready-to-use templates, an OER starter kit, and outreach tools for bringing industry partners to the table
✅ Action items in every chapter for learners, educators, and employers

Whether you're an OER librarian, a micro-credentials program lead, a workforce developer, or an employer looking to upskill your team — this one's for you.

Read, share, adapt, remix:

With gratitude to DOERS, our focus group participants, and our peer reviewers. Let's keep bridging the gap — one conversation at a time. 🌉

As part of our 10th anniversary celebration this year, we're excited to unveil our new website at rebus.foundation!

Like everything we do, the new site was designed with our values in mind. We wanted it to feel more like Rebus — warm, joyful, and centered around connection.

We're delighted to share new pages dedicated to the four Rebus Leadership Learning Pathways: the Open Publishing Projects Certificate, the Supplemental Materials Development Certificate, Community Building, and Strategic Advice and Consulting. While you're there, don't miss our latest post, "10 Years of Ripples: Looking Back & Ahead," along with the latest reflections from our Luminary Fellows.

As the capstone project for the inaugural 2026 cohort of the Rebus Luminary Fellowship for Education Leaders, each Fellow was invited to share a reflection with the broader community. We're publishing these reflections over the coming months, each a chance for a Fellow to shine a light on their own leadership journey. Today, we continue the series with Joan Giovannini.

For years, Joan had accepted unhealthy busy-ness as the cost of leadership in higher education, and her Oura Ring (a wearable sleep, activity, and recovery tracker) had the data to show how much her work weeks wore her down. During the Luminary Fellowship, the numbers shifted: her heart rate moved from its usual "Stressed" to "Restored" during the virtual sessions, and her demanding days in Vancouver still scored high across activity, sleep, and readiness. It was a "busy" that sustained rather than depleted her, and her reflection offers a measurable look at what changes when work is built around presence instead of constant responsiveness.

We're honoured to share that the Rebus Luminary Fellowship for Education Leaders has been nominated for a 2026 Open Education Award for Excellence, under the Open Practices Awards category for Leadership Development! 🌱

Education depends on leaders who nurture relationships, foster collaboration, and navigate change — those who hold others up while rarely being held themselves. Designed in partnership with the Leadership Learning Community around the question “Who leads the leaders?”, the Fellowship brought together our inaugural cohort of 15 education leaders from across Canada and the US to slow down, connect, and reimagine what leadership can look like.

Mark your calendars: the shortlist of finalists will be announced online on August 17, and winners will be announced in a live webcast on September 2.

This past April 7, Rebus turned ten! 🎂

What started in 2016 as an open-source software project has grown into a global community of educators, learners, and changemakers: 600+ program graduates and 100+ openly licensed projects, reaching classrooms across 45+ states, provinces, territories, and beyond. Thank you for ten years of ripples!

As we mark a decade, we're asking two small things:

1. Help carry the ripples forward. A gift of any size funds scholarships, facilitator stipends, and the day-to-day work behind this community. Consider a one-time gift or donating monthly.
🎁 https://buff.ly/ORZ5a3J

2. Tell us your Rebus story. How did you first connect with us? A workshop, a collaboration, a chance meeting at a conference? What stuck with you, and what's shifted between then and now? Anonymous is fine. A few words are great. A story is wonderful.

Here's to ten years of ripples, with more to come!

As the capstone project for the inaugural 2026 cohort of the Rebus Luminary Fellowship for Education Leaders, each Fellow was invited to share a reflection with the broader community. We're publishing these reflections over the coming months, each a chance for a Fellow to shine a light on their own leadership journey. Today, we continue the series with Bryce Smedley.

Bryce came to the Luminary Fellowship during a season of upheaval. He had spent years in international education, and in early 2025, he watched programs and partnerships he was part of collapse almost overnight. Returning to rural teacher education in the United States, he met a quieter version of the same strain. What he found in the Luminary cohort was a rare kind of honesty and a shift in how he understood resilience: not as surviving alone, but as carrying the weight together.
