Dr. Metcalfe has been a very active proponent of the use of OERs at UBC in particular and academia in general. She includes topics related to open access publishing, open educational resources, and creative commons licenses in her courses and invites guest speakers to share their knowledge and expertise on those topics. Currently, she has been working on a project which builds awareness of departmental open educational practices and materials through a wiki-based directory of OER created by EDST students and faculty, and interviews EDST students and faculty about their use of, interest in, or critiques of open pedagogy, open access publication, and open educational resources, to be distributed online as a podcast series in 2020-2021. In her professional practice, she has made a move towards publishing dominantly in open access journals and, wherever possible, make her work accessible.
