by Amanda Coolidge 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

Good afternoon Canada! Thank you to those who submitted proposals to the Open Textbook Summit- really appreciate your continued support for the annual event. I am wondering if any of you might consider providing some monetary funds toward sponsorship of the 2017 Open Textbook Summit? The sponsorship would include: - Recognition of your organization on the website/program/signage - Mention at the Keynote sessions The value of the sponsorship is up to you- as we would see it as a valuable contribution regardless of size. Thanks in advance for the consideration!

Get involved with the OER Digest!
by Brady Yano 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

Hi all, In reading through last week's meeting minutes, I learned about a ton of awesome OER developments happening across the country. It would be great to have this progress more widely shared with the OER community. One channel of communication that I help coordinate is the OER Digest <https://www.ecampusontario.ca/Content/open-content-funding>, a bi-weekly newsletter on open education updates, reminders and opportunities. It would be great to have any relevant news pieces included in the Digest. If you are interested, please send any updates to oerdigest(a)gmail.com and subscribe to receive the Digest at http://bit.ly/oerdigest <https://t.co/JrGDJEHbpX>. Our next issue will be released on February 9th. Thanks, Brady -- *Brady Yano * Assistant Director of Open Education • SPARC <http://sparcopen.org> +1 (604) 345-6826 <(604)%20345-6826> • brady(a)sparcopen.org
