BCIT: Growing OERs Across Institutions: A Collaborative Cycle<https://www.bcit.ca/open/events/open-education-week-2025/> 4. UBC: Gen AI and OERs in Teaching & Learning<https://events.ok.ubc.ca/event/gen-ai-and-open-educational-resources-in-tea…> as well as a number of other events.<https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/2025-open-education-week/> <https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/2025-open-education-week/> 5.

BCOEL meeting recap and an OER Week update
by BC Open Education Librarians 17 Jan '25

17 Jan '25

Good morning, all Happy Friday and happy sunshine! I hardly feel like I'm in Vancouver with the weather we're having these days! The BCOEL steering committee met this Monday for our monthly meeting and we had a great discussion! As the first one of the year, our agenda was short and sweet. We discussed the benefits, and sometimes challenges, of ZCT course marking as well as OER marketing on campus. A big part of the meeting was also introducing plans and next steps for OER week! We have decided to host a hybrid event, which will consist of an in-person networking/social opportunity as well as a virtual screening of a keynote speaker presentation. The winning focus topic for this event was "OER and student success in a time of enrolment decline" so that will be the guiding discussion point for the session. The virtual presentation will be open to all, however the in-person event is limited to the wider BCOEL network. And that's where you come in! We have the option of hosting the in-person portion either downtown (campus tbd) or at Douglas College in New Westminster, with the overall aim of making it easily accessible via transit. As folks are potentially joining from a lot of different locations, we would love to get your vote on a preferred location! The date will be between March 3-7th (specific day/time also tbd), if you're not confident you're able to attend yet no worries, we'd still love to hear from you! Please vote by Friday, January 24th (we'll go with the majority of votes). Note: the poll is a ranking set up, so as before use the arrows to the right side! https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Qyxi9WSOY0iu1AzEkI08iHK… Thanks all in advance and if you have any questions, thoughts, or concerns just reach out!

BCOEL December meeting summary and a ranking request!
by BC Open Education Librarians 10 Dec '24

10 Dec '24

Good morning, BCOEL community! We had a great meeting yesterday, thank you again Amanda for leading as I have lost my voice (also celebrating the return of Amanda)! Meeting Minutes will soon be posted on the BCOEL website<https://bcoel.ca/the-bcoel-steering-committee/steering-committee-minutes/>, but here is a quick overview, followed by an opinion poll/ask! We discussed more aspects of Open Education in a time of enrolment decline, including how to navigate the rocky waters of budget cuts and the looming threat of new tariffs, but equally how OERs can serve as both a viable and appealing option in this current climate of uncertainty. Lindsay and McKenzie have plans to create a CC licensed PPT that will highlight these issues and the role of OER in addressing them, and I'm really looking forward to hearing more about it in the new year! We also spoke about the challenges of ZTC designation and how to appropriately reflect time and effort in funding requests. We wrapped up with a discussion on GenAI and OER, and Brenda shared this great Artificial Intelligence In Education<https://aieducation.trubox.ca/> toolbox from TRU that covers a wide array of topics, issues, and classroom ideas. We spent some time discussing the potential theme for the upcoming OER week in March and have landed on the following. The specifics of each are yet to be determined, but we would love your help in determining a theme and narrowing our efforts. Some of these will potentially involve getting a speaker, so if you have any suggestions, please send them our way! Guide: Hover over each option and use the arrow keys on the far right to rearrange and rank your preferences. Your feedback is anonymous. Poll: Please rank your preference for the BCOEL OER week theme and prospective event<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Qyxi9WSOY0iu1AzEkI08iHK…> Thank you all in advance for your time and consideration. This year has been a very busy but rewarding one, and I'm very much looking forward to some time off! I hope you all have a great holiday season, one that is restful and filled with good food and even better cheer! Looking forward to connecting further in the new year and doing even more exciting OER activities!

Faculty interest in adapting Business Law OER
by BC Open Education Librarians 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

Hi everyone, Two of our Business faculty are currently reviewing the Business Law and Ethics Canadian Edition<https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/buslawandethicscanada/> OER for its suitability for adoption for our BUSI 2390 Business Law course. Part of the review includes what work would need to be done in order to adapt the OER. BUSI 2390 is one of our few top-20 enrolled courses that does not have a ZTC section, so being able to “unlock” this one would have a massive impact. Unfortunately, it seems like it would need a lot of work in order to make it usable. The faculty members are interested and willing to do the work, but are hesitant at the amount of work that it would take. I suggested reaching out to see if there are any other Business Law (or similar) instructors at other institutions who would be interested in collaborating on this adaptation. We also talked about converting the content into a Wordpress website which could be easily updated with new information instead of a more static OER textbook, if that’s of interest. Are any of you aware of faculty members at your institutions who might be interested in a collaboration? Thanks, Amanda [logo gif] Amanda Grey (she/her) Open Education Strategist, Teaching & Learning Commons t 604-599-3345 e amanda.grey(a)kpu.ca w www.kpu.ca/open Through active intentional partnering, the Teaching & Learning Commons provides pedagogical leadership that is grounded in community, ethics, creativity, and care.

We are excited to announce the third annual offering of The Open Education Talks<https://oetalks.opened.ca/>, first offered in 2022 as The Open Pedagogy Talks, a series of lightning talks focusing on open education in postsecondary institutions.

Hello, I have a question related to how people deal with open educational resources in their institutional repositories. Are there any best practices/processes you use for the metadata?

Question about identifying no textbook cost at the point of registration
by Flewelling, Debra 01 Dec '22

01 Dec '22

Hello, Please excuse the cross posting but I want to reach out to those who are not on the canadaoer listserv. The BC Open Education Librarians group is planning an event for Open Education Week<https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/> March 6 – 10, 2023 We are planning a session on how courses can be marked as having no textbook cost in their registration system. We know from Marking Open and Affordable Courses<https://uta.pressbooks.pub/markingopenandaffordablecourses/> that KPU does but we would like to know from others in B.C. if they are doing the same or even in the planning process. It would also be useful to know what registration system you use. Thank you - your input and time is much appreciated. Best, Debra. Debra Flewelling (she/hers<https://www.mypronouns.org/>) Open Education Librarian 604.527.5190 debra.Flewelling(a)douglascollege.ca<mailto:debra.Flewelling(a)douglascollege.ca> [Description: logo_2012_for_email_signature77172] I am grateful to learn and work on the unceded traditional and ancestral lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie), qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and qiqéyt (Qayqayt) First Nations.

November 4: Digital Literacy in Post Secondary Education
by Amanda Coolidge (she/her) 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Hello All! Registration is now OPEN<https://events.eply.com/2022ETUGWorkshopNov4> for the Fall Educational Technology Users Group Event on November 4. This year’s theme is: Digital Literacy! [cid:image001.jpg(a)01D8E396.1E7DF380] Despite the recovery from the pandemic, the number of academic programs and courses delivered in hybrid or fully online formats will likely remain high. At the same time, an increasing number of instructors are trying out HyFlex delivery — giving students options about whether they come to class or learn online. Digital literacy, for both instructors and students, impacts effective use of these delivery modes. But how can digital literacy support teaching and learning for online, hybrid, and HyFlex courses? What does a student need to be digitally literate? What does an instructor need to be digitally literate? Hope to see you there Amanda -------------- My working hours may be different to yours.

Looking forward towards the ‘After Times' NonCon June 3
by Lin Brander 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hello friends and colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to BCIT’s seventh annual Non-Con event on the morning of June 3rd. As always, it will offer all the fun practical takeaway tips and networking opportunities of attending a conference, without the cost or need to travel. This year’s theme is “Looking forward towards the ‘After Times'*" (*we hope). In the spirit of the hybrid world we find ourselves in, we are pleased to offer both an in-person and online experience. You are welcome to come for the coffee and conversation at the BCIT library’s Burnaby campus or attend via Zoom. We hope to capture the best of the two environments this way – both to foster the rare networking opportunities of face to face and extend attendance to those beyond the lower mainland as well. A full agenda will be sent out to participants closer to the date, but the timing would be 9:30-12:30 online with coffee for in-person participants at 9:00. How do you know if the Non-Con is of interest to you? If information and digital literacy, instruction and/or active learning, open education or teaching with technology are topics you are interested in, then this Non-Con is for you! Academic and Public libraries, librarians and lib-techs are all welcome. In the spirit of sharing and learning, we are asking everyone to prepare a short (5 min) talk on any of the following topics: • a teaching experience • a resource you would recommend • a technology you have used in class • an open education project or practice Really, we are interested in anything you want to share. We have all pivoted to an online learning/programing environment and back again, so maybe you have a trick that has worked well for you from the ‘before’ times or a new trick that suits either environment. We are also hoping to facilitate a roundtable discussion about how to maximize services and programming in a hybrid world moving forward. The event is free but space is limited, so RSVP to this email soon, and please indicate whether you plan to attend in person or online. Deadline is May 25th. We hope you can join us! Sincerely, Deirdre Grace, Jeff Verbeem, Lin Brander and Alison Griffin BCIT Non-Con event organizers Lin Brander| Librarian, Electronics & Computer Systems; Open Education|British Columbia Institute of Technology T 604-432-8922<tel:604-432-8922>| E lbrander(a)bcit.ca<mailto:lbrander(a)bcit.ca>| W bcit.ca/library<http://www.bcit.ca/library/> | O https://www.bcit.ca/open/
