Call for Authors | Intro to Crim OER - Victimology Chapter
by Urooj Nizami 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Dear all, I’m writing on behalf of faculty member Shereen Hassan at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. Dr. Hassan is looking for a contributor to author a chapter in the much-anticipated, Canada-focused, Introduction to Criminology openly-licensed textbook. The outstanding chapter requiring an author is: 1. Victimology Please see Dr. Hassan’s letter below and circulate this Call for Authors widely. This is a paid opportunity and would come with a $500 honorarium. If interested or for more information, please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca<mailto:shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca> by Monday, September 13, 2021. -- I hope that this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Shereen Hassan and I am an SFU criminology alumni. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Simon Verdun-Jones in 2010. I am now a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Criminology department and have been here for almost 17 years. I am reaching out about an opportunity to contribute to an Open Education Resource for the Introduction to Criminology course. This text will be the first of its kind in Canadian Criminology and is unique as it seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and content in a way that Criminology texts to date have failed to do. Dr. Gail Anderson has contributed in the area of biological explanations of crime, and Dr. Zachary Rowan and Michaela McGuire have co-authored a chapter on learning theories. There are authors from several other universities in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort! I am still looking for an author in the area of (1) Victimology. We are flexible on deadlines, and we are hoping to have a draft by December 2021. This text is an introductory text, so the idea here is to provide a brief overview, but to also address this theoretical framework's application to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, Indigenous issues in some way, wherever possible. We have asked authors to keep the chapters short (approximately 4000 words) or as close to that as possible. It would be a wonderful honour to have you contribute to this important project. I look forward to hearing back from you. All the best, Shereen Hassan, PhD Criminology Faculty Kwantlen Polytechnic University -- Best, [logo gif] Urooj Nizami; MISt, MA (she/her) Open Education Strategist, KPU | Open Education Kwantlen Polytechnic University e urooj.nizami(a)kpu.ca<mailto:urooj.nizami(a)kpu.ca> w www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Subscribe to the KPU Open listserv here<https://lists.bccampus.ca/mailman/listinfo/openkpu> Kwantlen Polytechnic University ► Where thought meets action This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

Invitation to Partner: Open Pedagogy Community of Practice
by Krysta McNutt 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hello everyone! The first (University of Alberta, CTL) Open Pedagogy Community of Practice meeting occurred this week, and I’m pleased to share we had 37 participants from various Canadian and US (83 registrations). The CoP is intended to focus specifically on instructional practices which are open (OER-enabled or not). Now that we have one session under our belt and feedback is rolling in, I want to reach out to develop partnerships. My vision is to collaboratively host quarterly sessions and drive our planning based on feedback generated from the participants each term. If you’re interested in collaborating to co-host the November session, I would love to hear from you! The commitment would involve partnering with me (yes!) to achieve the following: - Evaluate feedback collected from the community - Determine the format and topics of November’s meeting - Plan potential future feedback loops to enact - Co-host November’s meeting - Post-event communication / feedback Currently, our next session is booked on November 16, 1pm - 3pm MDT. More information can be found on the current Open Pedagogy CoP page <https://www.ualberta.ca/centre-for-teaching-and-learning/teaching-support/o…>, which eventually will become something collaborative. Recordings from the August 24th event will be added in the next week or so. Slides including jam board screenshots can bet found here <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1E4CyDBip_Xd22ZOaIYlre-wye-2JOFRm6F4…>. We did not record the event itself, but I did post-recordings of the webinar content. (Introductions to Communities of Practice and Open Pedagogy) Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you soon! -- Krysta McNutt, PMP (she/her) Open Education Lead, Centre for Teaching and Learning University of Alberta, ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Amiskwacîwâskahikan), Treaty 6/Métis Homelands krystam(a)ualberta.ca | 780-710-5674 | @mcnuttsays

OER on Assessment
by Ross, Heather 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

Good morning / afternoon and sorry for the cross-post. An instructor sent me this message and I haven't found anything yet, so I'm wondering if anyone else may know of some resources. Thank you. "I am teaching an assessment course in Education, which is new to me. It does not have a textbook, so I am looking for resources to use with the students- content is on validity and reliability, formative, and summative assessment, making assessments using multiple choice questions, making rubrics and checklists etc. Would there be something available in the open resources that might be helpful?"

French Edition?? (was: Cross-Canada Collaboration on Soil Science Book)
by Enkerli, Alexandre 12 Aug '21

12 Aug '21

Like Amanda said, congratulations on this great example of collaboration. What really gets me, though, is the mention of work on a French edition! “Relevant to my interests.” Would it be possible to put us in touch with people involved on the Francophone side? I’m sure Lise Brin and Lucie Vincent-LeBlanc are already aware of this work. Just hope we can build bridges with ongoing efforts, here in Quebec. Again, congratulations… And thanks for sharing! --Alex [Collecto - Services regroupés en éducation]<http://collecto.ca/> Alexandre Enkerli Conseiller technopédagogique • Accompagnement et innovation en pédagogie numérique T 514 384-9272 F 514 381-2263 collecto.ca<http://collecto.ca/> Actualités<http://collecto.ca/actualites> | LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/collecto/> 👉 PRENDRE UN RENDEZ-VOUS<https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/Collecto1(a)collecto.ca/bookings/> HORAIRE D’ÉTÉ | Du 11 juin au 13 août 2021 inclusivement, notre équipe termine sa journée à 12 h les vendredis.
