Greetings all. I’m working on a new plan for our open initiative that links it to the university’s new Learning Charter. I’m sharing the draft version of this via a Google Doc and I'm hoping to get feedback either through comments on the documents, on the blog post I’ve written with more details and the link to the document, or at OpenEd next week. The blog post is here - http://www.mctoonish.com/blog/?p=1875 Thank you. Heather M.

CARL webinar – webinaire de l'ABRC : How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER
by Lise Brin 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

Bilingual message – message bilingue -------- Dear Canadian Open Education Community, [cid:image001.png(a)01D574AB.88807FD0] CARL’s Open Education Working Group wants to share this opportunity for you to engage with the following professional development opportunity around Open Education. Further webinars will be announced very soon. How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER http://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/free-webinar-inclusive-and-accessible-oer/ Date: October 16, 2019 Time: 10am PST | 1pm EST Registration: https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca<https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca/> Please note that although this presentation will be in English, slides will be made available in both English and French. In this webinar, we will talk about how to design OER so they are more inclusive and accessible for all students. This will include an overview of the technical considerations of digital accessibility. For example, what are the minimum technical requirements that ensure students with print disabilities can access and navigate through the resource? We will also look at how inclusive design practices can help us create educational materials that are more versatile and useful for students. For example, what does an accessible resource look like for a student with no personal computer? Or a student with a learning disability that makes reading difficult? Ultimately, students can be very different from each other, and what may work for one student may not work for another. But by designing for those differences, we can create educational materials that are more useful, powerful, and accessible to all. Presenter’s Bio Josie Gray<mailto:josie.gray(a)bccampus.ca> is the Coordinator of Collection Quality on the Open Education team at BCcampus. She manages the B.C. Open Textbook Collection and provides training and support for B.C. faculty publishing open textbooks in Pressbooks. Josie has been learning about and teaching accessibility best practices in OER for three years and has recently started her MDes in Inclusive Design at OCAD University. If you have any questions, please contact Erin Fields, CARL Visiting Program Officer for Open Education (erin.fields(a)ubc.ca<mailto:erin.fields(a)ubc.ca>) or Lise Brin, Program Officer at CARL (lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca>). More information about CARL OEWG can be found on the CARL Open Education webpage<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-edu…>. ---- Aux membres de la communauté canadienne de l’éducation ouverte, [cid:image002.png(a)01D574AB.88807FD0] Le Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC souhaite vous inviter à participer à l’occasion de perfectionnement professionnel suivante se rapportant à l’éducation ouverte. Le reste de la série de webinaires sera annoncée sous peu. How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER [Comment créer des REL inclusives et accessibles] http://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/nouvelles/webinaire-gratuit-rel-inclusives-et-ac… Date : Le 16 octobre 2019 Heure : 10 h HNP | 13 h HNE Inscription : https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca<https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca/> Bien que la présentations se fera en anglais, les diapositives seront disponibles en anglais et en français. Au cours de ce webinaire, nous discuterons de la façon de concevoir des ressources éducatives libres (REL) afin qu’elles soient plus inclusives et plus accessibles pour tous les étudiants. Un aperçu des considérations techniques de l’accessibilité numérique sera présenté. Par exemple, quelles sont les exigences techniques minimales qui permettent aux étudiants incapables de lire les imprimés d’accéder à la ressource et de s’y retrouver? Nous examinerons également en quoi les pratiques de conception inclusive peuvent nous aider à créer du matériel pédagogique plus polyvalent et plus utile pour les étudiants. Par exemple, à quoi ressemble une ressource accessible pour un étudiant qui n’a pas d’ordinateur personnel? Ou pour un étudiant ayant un trouble d’apprentissage qui rend la lecture plus difficile? En fin de compte, les étudiants peuvent être très différents les uns des autres, et ce qui convient à l’un peut ne pas convenir à l’autre. Mais, en procédant à la conception en fonction de ces différences, nous pouvons créer du matériel pédagogique plus utile, plus puissant et plus accessible à tous. Biographie de la présentatrice Josie Gray<mailto:josie.gray(a)bccampus.ca> est coordonnatrice de la qualité des collections au sein de l’équipe de l’éducation ouverte à BCcampus. Elle veille à la gestion de la collection de manuels en libre accès en Colombie-Britannique, en plus d’offrir formation et soutien au personnel enseignant de la C.-B. qui publie des manuels en libre accès dans la plateforme Pressbooks. Depuis trois ans, Josie apprend au sujet des meilleures pratiques en matière d’accessibilité aux REL et les enseigne. De plus, elle vient d’entamer sa maîtrise en conception inclusive à l’OCAD University.

by Michael McNally 10 Sep '19

10 Sep '19

The team behind the University of Alberta’s *Opening Up Copyright* instructional modules is pleased to share another update on the series. This past summer four new instructional modules have been created. The new modules (only one of which stars puppets) are: · Finding Open and Creative Commons Content · Photocopying in the Library · Moral Rights · Section 41: Technological Protection Measures Our “Public Domain” module has been rebuilt and improved, based in part on community feedback There are now a total of 18 modules available, with over two hours of instructional content. All of the modules can be found here: https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/ We’d also like to emphasize that these modules are published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence so that they can be adopted and adapted by anyone. On the page for each module you will find a link to the associated script and slides, to allow for adaptation. The scripts and slides are also made available under a CC-BY licence. More information about the series is available on the “About” page ( https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/about/) In addition, we would like to highlight the *Opening Up Copyright* Community Pages ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Ul4YeOovdLOEaczPK7RipG_OgOd7etOcJI8ppT…) The Community Pages provide an overview of the entire suite of modules to be developed as part of the series, and also indicates which modules are currently under development. Furthermore, we encourage you to contribute to the individual module pages, where we hope to collect your ideas, feedback or suggestions. Please consider sharing suggestions for Learning Objectives, ideas for Narratives or Contextual Stories, Test Questions, Links to Useful Resources, or Other Suggestions for modules that interest you. You also have the option of including your name on these pages, so that we can provide attribution for your contributions at the end of the module. Feedback can also be sent directly to copyright(a)ualberta.ca with the subject line “OER Copyright Module.” We’re also happy to hear how the OUC modules are being used. If you are linking to, adopting or adapting the modules we would love to hear about it at on our OUC Module Use Community Page ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JrSd5PWShvyExN8NEZOgFpuTaF8DhKrkkgkmWSC…) Members of the OUC team will also be presenting about the project at both Open Education Conference in Phoenix this October and Open Education Global in Milan this November. The *Opening Up Copyright* instructional modules series receives funding through the Centre for Teaching and Learning’s Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund <https://www.ualberta.ca/centre-for-teaching-and-learning/grants/tlef> at the University of Alberta. Michael, on behalf of the OUC team P.S. If you enjoyed the adventures of Animal and Goodbrarian in the “Photocopying in the Library” module, they will be making a return in our year end update in a new module on Interlibrary Loans and Controlled Digital Lending.

Looking for bookstore/OER impact article
by Jessica Norman 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

Hi All, I'm working on a facts/stats sheet that highlights findings from various OER studies. I remember previously reading a study or report that showed that overall, institutions make money from OER because the loss of revenue from the bookstore is offset by the additional tuition paid by students who complete, persistent and/or take additional classes. I've been combing through my Zotero notes today and cannot find that reference again. Does it ring any bells for anyone? In general, do you know of any articles that speak to the connection between bookstore, OER use, and institutional revenue? I have David Wiley's 2014 blog post, Steven Bell's 2017 article, and the Achieving the Dream's 2018 initiative report.
