New Audiobook OER: Developing Organizational and Managerial Wisdom – 2nd Edition
by BC Open 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share the following new resource: Developing Organizational and Managerial Wisdom – 2nd Edition (Audio plus text version)<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/developingwisdomaudiobook/> by Brad Anderson, an audiobook version of an existing OER. This Pressbook embeds audio recordings in each chapter, provides a playlist of all recordings for uninterrupted listening, and provides links to download the audio files. Here’s what Brad had to say about this project: Over the past year, I have realized that most of our students have accessibility issues. Many people’s first reaction to that is doubt, but that, I believe, is because many people still view accessibility through a physical disability lens. The student working thirty hours a week who must cross two bridges in rush-hour traffic to get to campus has an accessibility issue. So does the student renting a bed in a house with half a dozen roommates and no dedicated workspace, a student caring for a sick family member, one with mental health challenges, or … you get the picture. How many barriers might we remove if we made an audio version of textbooks available they could listen to while stuck in traffic? Universal design for learning (UDL) is about giving students options in accessing course material, empowering them to fit learning into the unique considerations of their lives. A couple of years ago, I created this OER textbook under a Creative Commons licence to reduce barriers to learning. Creating an audio version of that text is a continuation of that effort to reduce barriers. While there were many challenges associated with developing this audiobook, with some creative thinking and advice from one of KPU’s Educational Media Strategists, we were able to overcome them. Going forward, I am excited to encourage other OER authors to consider creating an audiobook versions, as well as streamlining and improving the process. Cheers, Amanda [logo gif] Amanda Grey (she/her) Open Education Strategist, Teaching & Learning Commons t 605-599-3345 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.

Hi everyone! (apologies for cross posting!) We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Lorrain's Logbook: Notes from a Missionary in Mizoram, Northeast India (1891-1936) Edited by Kyle Jackson; Natasha McConnell; and Nick Gill Lorrain’s Logbook: Notes from a Missionary in Mizoram, Northeast India (1891-1936) expands the archive for students of Northeast India.

This entirely new digital transcription and text-searchable online educational resource (OER) unlocks a vital archival source for researchers of imperial frontiers, Asian borderlands, missionization, Mizo history, and beyond.

Call for Survey Participants: Canadian Indigenous Open Educational Resources
by Library Indigenous OER Research 03 Oct '23

03 Oct '23

Hello, Open educational resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials licensed to be freely owned, shared, and in most cases, modified. While the development of OER is rooted in the belief that education should be equitably distributed, the potential to develop, create, and share resources within Western understandings of knowledge and ownership of information, can run counter to Indigenous perspectives, traditions, and information practices. Our research study seeks to centre the Indigenous perspective on open education principles and processes, with a focus on OER development in Canadian academic institutions. We are hoping you can support our study by participating and/or sharing the following information and participant invitations. Attached is a social media package, including a blog post outlining the research collaboration. Please feel free to share these items through your organization's communication channels.

by Amanda Grey 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Hello! I want to share this new article that was recently published by KPU faculty member Deirdre Maultsaid and TRU faculty member Michelle Harrison. This publication is the result of Deirdre’s year working with us as an Open Education Research Fellow and explores student perspectives on Open Pedagogy. Can Open Pedagogy Encourage Care? Student Perspectives<https://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/6901> Abstract: As a response to the increasing commercialization of postsecondary education, educators argue for a practice of care in education. Open pedagogy (OP) seems like an ideal practice where care, trust, and inclusion can be realized. OP is characterized as a democratic and collaborative pedagogical practice, in which students and teachers work to co-create learning and knowledge using openly licensed materials, open platforms, and other open processes. The purposes of this study were, first, to reveal ways students in postsecondary institutions perceive care and, second, to determine how students suggest OP can be used to create an open/caring learning process. A task-oriented focus group method engaged students from four teaching-focused institutions. The students created open cases on social issues for class discussion and reflected on care and OP processes in postsecondary settings. Using four elements of the ethics of care—attentiveness, responsibility, competence, and trustworthiness—as conceptual categories, the study examined students’ experience of care and care in OP using affective coding and thematic analysis. The results showed that through OP, with teacher support and explicitly designed practices of care, students can assert their agency, have quintessential roles in creating and participating in highly relevant curriculum and importantly, care about others, and be cared for. OP is a process able to involve a diverse population of students and embody care as an all-encompassing practice.

New OER: Stitched - sewing techniques, how-to, and more
by Amanda Grey 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

Hi everyone! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Stitched sewing techniques, how-to, and more By: Heather Clark and Catherine Hay [cid:image001.jpg(a)01D9E7B7.04986D30] Within the fashion, sewing, and textile classrooms it is a challenge to find a textbook on the topic of sewing that covers the range of skills and techniques taught within these learning spaces. Typically to supplement student learning, handouts will be utilized along with in-class, and in-person demos. The open-source and online format of this OER will enable educators to continually update the resource to meet current student needs, learning outcomes, and reflect best practices within the apparel and fashion industry. Content in this OER supports skills and knowledge learned within the classroom while providing supportive resources for learners. This open-source learning resource contains details and step-by-step instructions, supported with images, videos, and text. This resource will be continually worked on, with videos, text, and information being added. The vision for this resource is to provide learning resources to the sewing community – an array of learners, with multiple ways of ‘how-to’.

New OER: Gender in Canada - A Companion Workbook
by Amanda Grey 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

Hello! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Gender in Canada: A Companion Workbook Edited by: Rebecca Yoshizawa Primary Subjects: Gender studies, gender groups [cid:image001.png(a)01D95C98.C39708E0] This workbook is designed for first or second-year sociology of gender or gender studies courses, focusing on the Canadian context. It is divided into five topics - Theory and Concepts, Institutions, Work, Family and Intimate Relationships, and Bodies and Health. This workbook does not replace a textbook, instructor teachings through lectures, class discussion, class assignments, or other standard undergraduate course materials. Instead, this is an activity book: a course companion, working alongside and with those course materials. It is designed to build competency, capacity, and confidence with course materials, concepts, and arguments. It does this by embracing the concepts of embodied learning, iterative scaffolding, and reflexive insight. "Embodied" means doing things with your body and not just your mind; "scaffolding" means breaking things down into constituent parts that can be gathered together to build something bigger; and "reflexive" means thinking about oneself in relation to broad concepts and contexts around us. The workbook presents four types of content. (1) Each chapter has one or two pages of written content deemed "Insights to Think About," which are summative guides to help students grab onto big ideas. (2) The chapters also have "Words to Try," encouraging a usable lexicon. (3) Chapters have thoughtfully designed "Activities." The activities help students to get ideas down, give those ideas meaning and order, and prepare students to do more engaged work in course conversations and higher-stakes assignments. (4) Finally, each section ends with "My Insights On," where students can record their "big picture" ideas and things they want to explore more in their course discussions and other assignments.
