Taking Up the Open Pedagogy Summer Adventure
by Arianna Cheveldave 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Dear colleagues, The following is a message from Alan Levine, reaching out on behalf of OE Global. ---- What's an adventure without a dash of the unknown? My hope for our Open Pedagogy Summer Adventure<https://connect.oeglobal.org/c/open-pd/summer-adventure/47> was to flip the usual webinar style approach to what works beautifully here by email where people ask, answer, share when they can. All of the Summer Adventure series is freely available to read in OEG Connect, and to respond there use this special link <https://connect.oeglobal.org/invites/a4eGA3vSTB> for the quick route to make an account. Your interest we heard for learning about interactivity, specifically H5P, is in my corner, and Liz Yata will be sharing soon details on our webinar session next week. The activities I will review<https://connect.oeglobal.org/tag/interactivity-opsa>, are and will be available for anyone to use at any time. Here is the H5P Adventure. Each leads to an activity and a place to share what you discover or ask questions. * 0. The Interactivity Strand in the Summer Adventure: What Kind of H5P Do You Want<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/the-interactivity-strand-in-the-summer-adven…> - a poll and discussion to share what you know or want to know about H5P * 1. Before Grabbing the Tools<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-1-0-before-grabbing-the-tools/1933/10> - Find where and how to find examples of H5P interactivity to seed ideas what is possible * 2. Where to Make H5P?<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-2-0-where-to-make-h5p/2022/2> - Determine where you can get access to an H5P creation space * 3. Start From Scratch or Remix?<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-3-0-start-from-scratch-or-remix/2026/6> A value of H5P content is that it is truly reusable. If you are new to H5P it might be easier to learn the tools by modifying existing content. * 4. Pick Up a First Tool and Go<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-4-0-pick-up-a-first-tool-and-go/2058/2> - since there are 49 different content type tools, which ones are good start? We have suggestions More will be added, perhaps for the more complex tools like Branching Scenarios, but rather than us decided in advance we will base on your feedback. And I am sure there is some strong expertise here with H5P (more than mine) so we welcome people who know their way around H5P. There's more in the mix than H5P. Christina Riehman-Murphy and Bryan McGeary have provided a stand alone version of their OER Roadmap workshop<https://connect.oeglobal.org/tag/roadmap-opsa> (and are standing by to respond to questions). There has been good Q&A in a copyright topic<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/none-of-us-are-lawyers-ask-about-copyright-a…>, the typical CCCOER abundance of resource sharing<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/suggested-resources-for-learning-about-open-…>, and participants have shared as introductions<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/say-hello-and-share-your-summer-goals-in-ope…> and updates<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/how-are-those-summer-projects-going/2059/> progress on their own summer open pedagogy projects. We hope to see you join the adventure when you can<https://connect.oeglobal.org/c/open-pd/summer-adventure/47>.

Apply by June 20 to run a Wikipedia assignment in Fall 2021!
by Arianna Cheveldave 11 Jun '21

11 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, BCcampus recently received notice of an opportunity to collaborate with Wiki Education in the Fall 2021 term. Below is the modified text from a message that we received about this opportunity. The deadline to run a Wikipedia assignment in Fall 2021 is rapidly approaching! To run a Wikipedia assignment this Fall, submit your application by June 20. Wiki Education's support is fully funded, and there are no fees to run a Wikipedia assignment. The reasons to run a Wikipedia assignment are myriad, but here are some reflections that capture the essence of the project: "Although many students admitted they had first felt intimidated by the thought of their work being ‘out there’ on the internet, they all commented on the huge sense of achievement they felt seeing their articles published on Wikipedia at the end of semester and how contributing to global knowledge was incredibly fulfilling." —Professor Victoria Austin, University of Winnipeg "One of the things I loved about this project was the idea of being able to improve something on a public platform and offer substantive research that could be helpful to someone who might not have access to the same resources we are so lucky to have as students at the University of Michigan." —Aja Brandmeier, Student, University of Michigan To apply for a spot in the program, follow these steps: 1. Create an account at dashboard.wikiedu.org<https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/>. 2. Go through Wiki Education's Orientation for New Instructors<https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/instructors/new-instructor-orientati…>. You'll be prompted to do this once you create an account. 3. After you complete the orientation, you'll be asked to launch the Assignment Design Wizard. Go through the wizard to create your course page. Your course page will be the central hub for your Wikipedia assignment, and it's how you receive support from Wiki Education. When you're ready, submit the course page, and your application will be complete! We will notify you by July 16 if we are able to offer you a spot for the Fall 2021 term. Applications submitted after June 20 will only be considered if space allows. For more information, contact Helaine Blumenthal at helaine(a)wikiedu.org<mailto:helaine(a)wikiedu.org>.

04 Mar '21

Dear colleagues, Registration for the KPU Open Education Research Institute 2021 is now open. See below and the attached PDF for more information about this exciting opportunity for new and emerging open education researchers. Dates: Monday, May 3 | Wednesday, May 5 | Friday, May 7 Time: 9am – 12pm (PST) Program Description: As open education initiatives mature, it is imperative to investigate their impacts whether it be to advocate for institutional support or to iterate, innovate and further advance the goal of equitable access. For this reason, open education research is becoming an important facet within a healthy and thriving open ecosystem. This three-day Open Education Research Institute (OERI) provides an opportunity for new and emerging researchers interested in open educational practices to deepen their knowledge and sharpen their skillset while connecting with other researchers and joining a Provincial mentorship network. Learning Outcomes: Participants will * receive an overview of existing research on open educational practices, including a special focus on research conducted in or by researchers in British Columbia. * learn about different theoretical and methodological frameworks for research in open education * receive guidance on practical issues such as preparing applications for ethical review of their research projects and publishing their work in open access journals or repositories * work in affinity groups to draft and revise their research questions and be paired with an experienced researcher, who will serve as their mentor for the following year. The OERI is jointly funded by KPU's Office of Open Education and BCcampus. While there will be no cost to register for the event, registration is required for planning and logistics. To maintain a fruitful experience for participants, registration is limited. To cultivate a research community here is BC, priority will be given to registrants at BC institutions. For more information and to register, please visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/oeri The full program will be published in April 2021. For questions, please contact Rajiv Jhangiani and Urooj Nizami at open(a)kpu.ca.

You’re invited: Open Education Challenge Series during Open Education Week
by Arianna Cheveldave 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

Dear colleagues, Open Education Week is fast approaching! To celebrate, BCcampus is hosting an Open Education Challenge Series<https://oechallenge.opened.ca/about-the-open-education-challenge-series/> for educators interested in learning more about open education practices (OEP). From March 1 to March 5, we will release two challenges a day. A challenge is a micro activity that you can do in 10 minutes or less that will introduce a small aspect of open education. Everyone is welcome to participate, but the challenges are designed for educators who are new to open education. Topics to explore include open licences, open textbooks, and perhaps even open pedagogy! This isn’t a bootcamp or crash course in open education: it’s more of a tasting buffet of appetizers, designed to allow even the most time-constrained educators to participate. Please share this event with your departments and networks, especially those who are new to open education. Invite your colleagues to participate with you! It’s a great way to learn about OEP together. Here is the event page and where to register: OE Challenge Series 2021<https://bccampus.ca/event/open-education-challenge-series-2021/> Sincerely, The Facilitators: Carolee Clyne, Josie Gray, Clint Lalonde, Melanie Meyers, and Krista Lambert Sent via Arianna Cheveldave Coordinator, Open Education, BCcampus Email: acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca> • LinkedIn: ariannacheveldave<https://ca.linkedin.com/in/arianna-cheveldave> • Pronouns: She/her ________________________________ I acknowledge that the land I live, work, and play on is the unceded territory of the səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), W̱SÁNEĆ, and Songhees Nation of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples.

Please join us at this event to celebrate Open Education Week on Monday, March 1, 12:30-1:30 Wicked Problems and Open Remedies: A Student-Centred Approach A wicked problem is one that is difficult or impossible to solve due to incomplete, contradictory, interconnected, or changing factors.

Drawing on this idea, we turn our attention to the wicked problem in higher education of empowering students in the classroom and centring student voices in exploring the challenges of and potential solutions for this problem. Arley Cruthers (Kwantlen) will moderate the session. Student panelists include Kristen Morgan (UBC Okanagan), Sophia Nguyen (Simon Fraser University [SFU]), and Caitlin Spreeuw (Douglas College).

For the past several years UBC Library, the First Nations and Indigenous Studies Program, and event sponsors (see below) have organized the Honouring Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-thon<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/HonouringIndigenousWriters>. This edit-a-thon event, inspired by Daniel Heath Justice’s<https://fnis.arts.ubc.ca/persons/daniel-justice/> Twitter campaign of the same name, seeks to bring community editors together to work on editing Wikipedia entries for Indigenous authors in an attempt to tackle the systemic bias of Wikipedia while also trying to raise the profile of Indigenous writers.

The events include: * Author readings <https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/events> by Smokii Sumac, Richard Van Camp, Tenille Campbell, Marilyn Dumont and more * Self-paced Weekly Wikipedia Challenges <https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/activities> with prize draws * Wikipedia training and drop-in Zoom sessions<https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/events> * <https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/events> A panel discussion<https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/events> from the UBC Vancouver Public Humanities Hub on Wikipedia as public scholarship * And a social media campaign on Twitter<https://twitter.com/HIW_Wiki> These events and activities are free and open to anyone to participate. Please join us at our kickoff event and reading with Smokii Sumac on February 24th at 7:00pm PST, and learn more about the other events we have planned!

by Lindsay Tripp 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

Hello all, Forwarding an event next week that may be of interest to you: Open Art Histories: Three Views on Open Educational Resources Friday, February 26, 10:00pm – 11:30pm PST Description: Are you interested in what ArtxHistory.org founder Natalie Coletta describes as “rejecting the dominant language and scholarship that create a climate of elitism and exclusivity” in art history? Are you curious about using open educational resources (OERs) to do so? Join us for an afternoon of talks with three art historians leading the development of open access teaching materials that seek to challenge traditional textbook conventions. Leah Clark will share how Open Arts Objects, an open access platform providing free films inspires diverse audiences to understand art and visual culture while leading change in museum educational programmes and professional practice and increasing public awareness about a global approach to art history. Natalie Coletta founded the ArtxHistory portal as a means to decolonize academia, while serving students and teachers and addressing challenging topics in the areas of artistic practice, history, and critique of 20th and 21st century art. Smarthistory’s Dean of Content and Strategy, Lauren Kilroy-Ewbank will speak to how the resource’s free, award-winning digital content unlocks the expertise of hundreds of leading scholars making the history of art accessible and engaging to more people around the world.

Institutional commitment will involve the following: * Promoting the fellowship opportunity including putting out and managing a call for fellows * Adjudicating fellowship applications * Participating in the planning and facilitation of workshops and other training to support fellows * Co-organizing a faculty-student showcase If interested, please provide an expression of interest to open(a)kpu.ca<mailto:open(a)kpu.ca> by Friday, February 26, 2021 including the names and contact information for those who will join the leadership committee and a brief statement: * confirming your intention to join the 2021 UN SDG Open Pedagogy Fellowship with institutional support and capacity * outlining your institution’s current engagement with open pedagogy * describing how the fellowship might help the stakeholders at your institution and how your institution might enrich the fellowship For more information, please see www.kpu.ca/open/un-sdg-fellowship<http://www.kpu.ca/open/un-sdg-fellowship>.

by Arianna Cheveldave 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

Dear colleagues, At 11 a.m. PST on Thursday, November 5, Rebus is hosting a session called Office Hours: Writing Math and Science Textbooks<https://www.rebus.community/t/office-hours-writing-math-and-science-textboo…>. The event is described as follows: Writing and publishing math and science open textbooks, lab manuals, and other related ancillaries usually involves a unique set of challenges. In this session, our guests will discuss their experience creating math and science textbooks on a variety of publishing platforms and tools including Pressbooks, LaTeX, and LibreTexts. Topics will include how to add formulas, create interactivity through PhET or H5P simulations, and ensure accessibility. This is not a how-to session, but rather an overview of the tradeoffs between platforms and a discussion of strategies for creating math and science open textbooks that meets author and student expectations. This session would be of interest to those who are publishing math and science textbooks and want to hear about the different strategies that others are applying to the task. If you would like to attend this session, you can RSVP online on the Rebus site.

Webinar: Publishing Indigenous Perspectives Online: How RavenSpace Editors Approach Collaboration
by Arianna Cheveldave 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

Dear colleagues, I hope you can join us for the following webinar on Tuesday, October 6, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. PDT: Publishing Indigenous Perspectives Online: How RavenSpace Editors Approach Collaboration<https://bccampus.ca/event/publishing-indigenous-perspectives-online-how-rav…>. RavenSpace, developed by UBC Press, is a digital platform for publications that aims to support Indigenous community-based research and authorship. It functions as a place where, with community permission, Indigenous knowledge can be shared, but also protected—where knowledge holders may maintain and assert their cultural protocols that govern how certain materials should be accessed, and by whom. In this session, we will show how RavenSpace has integrated publishing and web design workflows with the needs and rights of Indigenous community members and authors. We will share some of RavenSpace’s collaborative approaches, and, more broadly, will discuss additional ways to build cultural considerations into editorial and design choices. Attendees are welcome to share their own examples of approaching culturally sensitive materials in a collaborative environment, as we will allow time for discussion. More information on how to register can be found here: https://bccampus.ca/event/publishing-indigenous-perspectives-online-how-rav… Best, Arianna Cheveldave Coordinator, Open Education, BCcampus Email: acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca> • LinkedIn: ariannacheveldave<https://ca.linkedin.com/in/arianna-cheveldave> • Pronouns: She/her ________________________________ I acknowledge that the land I live, work, and play on is the unceded territory of the səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), W̱SÁNEĆ, and Songhees Nation of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples.
