OER Regional Funding Announcement / Annonce de financement régional pour les RÉL
by Canada Open Education Resources 08 Mar '24

08 Mar '24

Le français suit [cid:image001.jpg(a)01DA7159.E9A5DBC0] [Chart Description automatically generated] CAAL Strategic Plan: Strategy 6.0 Advance awareness and adoption of Open Educational Resources (OERs) in the Atlantic Region. The Council of Atlantic Academic Libraries (CAAL)<https://caul-cbua.ca/about-caalcbpa>1 is pleased to announce that the governments of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island will provide funding for the next three years in support of AtlanticOER<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/>. AtlanticOER<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/> is a service developed and led by CAAL that supports the hosting and creation of open educational resources (OERs) 2, such as quality open (free) textbooks and other course materials, by educators in the region. These open textbooks have already saved students in the region almost $900,000 in textbook costs. AtlanticOER includes: * A digital publishing platform (Pressbooks), as a place to create and house OERs; * A staff position, the AtlanticOER Lead, that already provides a pivotal leadership role in advancing the Service and OERs in the Region; and * AtlanticOER Development Grants for faculty and instructors to encourage and support educators in the Atlantic Region in the adaptation, adoption, creation, and curation of OERs, and to improve access to course materials for students. This initiative has been a long time in the making. It was developed through the hard work and commitment of librarians, faculty, and staff at post-secondary institutions in the region in partnership with dedicated student advocacy organizations such as StudentsNS. A more formal announcement will follow once details are finalized. Sincerely, Cynthia 1 CAAL is a vibrant regional network of Atlantic Canada’s public university and college libraries leveraging community and collaboration to advance scholarship, innovation, diversity, and accessibility in teaching, learning, research, and student experiences. 2 The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) defines OERs as “free to use and openly licensed teaching and learning materials." As stated by leading open education proponent David Wiley, “‘open content’ describes a copyrightable work that is licensed in a way that ‘provides users with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities which are retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute.” [cid:image003.jpg(a)01DA715C.2F532900] [A picture containing chart Description automatically generated] Plan stratégique du CBPA : Stratégie 6.0 Faire progresser la sensibilisation et l’adoption des ressources éducatives libres (REL) dans la région de l’Atlantique. Le Conseil des bibliothèques postsecondaires de l’Atlantique (CBPA) 1 est heureux d’annoncer que les gouvernements de la Nouvelle-Écosse, de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, du Nouveau-Brunswick et de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard fourniront un financement pour les trois prochaines années à l’appui de l’initiative RELAtlantique. RELAtlantique est un service développé et dirigé par CBPA qui soutient l’hébergement et la création de ressources éducatives libres (REL)2, telles que des manuels de qualité ouverts (gratuits) et d’autres matériels de cours, par des éducateurs de la région. Ces manuels libres ont déjà permis aux étudiants de la région d’économiser près de 900 000 $ en coûts de manuels. RELAtlantique comprend : * Une plateforme de publication numérique (Pressbooks), comme lieu de création et d’hébergement des REL ; * Un poste d’employé, le responsable RELAtlantique, qui joue déjà un rôle de premier plan dans l’avancement du service et des REL dans la région ; et * Subventions de développement des RELAtlantique pour les enseignants et les formateurs et formatrices afin d’encourager et d’appuyer les éducateurs de la région de l’Atlantique dans l’adaptation, l’adoption, la création et la conservation des REL, et d’améliorer l’accès aux documents de cours pour les étudiants. Cette initiative a pris beaucoup de temps. Il a été élaboré grâce au travail acharné et à l’engagement des bibliothécaires, du corps professoral et du personnel des établissements postsecondaires de la région, en partenariat avec des organismes voués à la défense des intérêts des étudiants comme StudentsNS. Une annonce plus officielle suivra une fois que les détails seront finalisés. Cordialement, Cynthia 1 CBPA est un réseau régional dynamique de bibliothèques universitaires et collégiales publiques du Canada atlantique qui mise sur la communauté et la collaboration pour faire progresser les bourses d’études, l’innovation, la diversité et l’accessibilité dans l’enseignement, l’apprentissage, la recherche et les expériences étudiantes. 2 L’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada (ABRC) définit les REL comme « l’utilisation gratuite et ouverte de matériel d’enseignement et d’apprentissage ». Comme l’a déclaré David Wiley, le principal promoteur de l’éducation ouverte, le « contenu ouvert » décrit une œuvre protégée par le droit d’auteur qui fait l’objet d’une licence d’une manière qui « donne aux utilisateurs la permission gratuite et perpétuelle de participer aux activités 5R qui sont de conserver, de réutiliser, de réviser, de remix et de redistribuer ».

The Canadian Code was adapted from its U.S. counterpart, the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Open Educational Resources <https://cmsimpact.org/code/open-educational-resources/#Code-of-Best-Practic…>, and provides a legal and practical exploration of fair dealing in the context of Open Educational Resource (OER) creation in Canada. While the Code is not legal advice it provides a legally defensible and judicious model for the application of the fair dealing exception when incorporating third-party copyrighted content into OER. It details the relevant Canadian legislative and legal context and supplies practical examples. We hope that your institutions and organizations will utilize this resource and that you will share it with colleagues who may not be on this list-serv. We would like to acknowledge the authors of the U.S. Code and those within our Canadian intellectual property scholars, copyright and open education communities who contributed in a variety of ways to this work. For more information on this and other Codes, register for the Fair Dealing Week webinar, *Leveraging Best Practices: Using the CARL Copyright Codes of Best Practice in Your Library.* Date: Wednesday February 28, 2024 Time: 1:00pm - 2:30pm ET Registration required <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_n9I5-eoyQO-Vp0eBi9P7nw> Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Working Group: Rowena Johnson (University of Calgary and Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Visiting Program Officer (VPO) Digital Access), Stephanie Savage (University of British Columbia), Heather Martin (University of Guelph), Josh Dickison (University of New Brunswick) and Ann Ludbrook (Toronto Metropolitan University and CARL VPO Open Education) Sent on behalf of Rowena Wake —----------------------------- C’est avec grand plaisir que nous vous présentons le Code de bonnes pratiques en matière d'utilisation équitable des ressources éducatives libres <https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/ABRC_Code_Bonne_Practiq…> . Le code canadien, adapté de son équivalent américain, le Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Open Educational Resources <https://cmsimpact.org/code/open-educational-resources/#Code-of-Best-Practic…>, traite de l'application juridique et pratique de l'utilisation équitable dans le contexte de la création de ressources éducatives libres (REL) au Canada. Bien que le code ne constitue pas un avis juridique, il fournit un modèle raisonné et juridiquement défendable pour l'application de l'exception concernant l'utilisation équitable lors de la transposition dans les REL de contenus de tiers protégés par le droit d'auteur. Le code précise le contexte législatif et juridique canadien et fournit des exemples pratiques pertinents. Nous espérons que vos établissements et organisations utiliseront cette ressource et que vous la partagerez avec des collègues qui ne sont peut-être pas inscrits sur cette liste de diffusion. Nous tenons à remercier les auteurs du code américain ainsi que les spécialistes canadiens de la propriété intellectuelle, du droit d'auteur et de l'éducation ouverte ayant contribué de diverses manières à ce travail.

Toronto is in the 'Dish With One Spoon Territory’. The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, Europeans and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.
