FYI -
In celebration of Open Education Week 2017<https://www.openeducationweek.org/>, Simon Fraser University<http://www.sfu.ca>, University of British Columbia<https://www.ubc.ca>, B<http://bccampus.ca/>Ccampus<http://bccampus.ca/>, Public Knowledge Project<https://pkp.sfu.ca/>, and British Columbia Research Libraries Group<http://blogs.ubc.ca/bcrlglectures/> are pleased to host a discussion on The Failure of Access: Rethinking Open Education.
Please join us on Tuesday, March 28th at SFU Harbour Centre (515 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC) from 5:30pm-8:30pm. This event is open to all and free, but seating is limited and registration<http://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches-depts/rc/32099> is required.
The Failure of Access: Rethinking Open Education
The use of open re-use licenses and Internet technologies have long promised to reduce barriers to education by making it more distributed, equitable, and open. Indeed, the promise of open education can trace its roots to the the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations 1948, which states "everyone has a right to education." There is little formal evidence, however, that open education has an impact on increasing access to learning or making education more equitable.
This event will explore the goals, failures, and successes of open education. Join us in exploring such questions as: is open education succeeding in being a transformative movement that makes learning more accessible? What are the criteria and successes that should be used to measure if the open education movement is a success? What more needs to be done?
Our discussion will be led by keynote speaker Dr. Ishan Abeywardena (Advisor - Open Education Resources) from the Commonwealth of Learning<https://www.col.org/> and panelists from SFU<https://www.sfu.ca/>, UBC<https://www.ubc.ca/>, CAPER-BC<http://caperbc.ca/>, and SPARC<https://sparcopen.org/>.

Hello Everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that BCcampus has added the final chapters of OpenStax' College Physics to Pressbooks, and that both the Pressbooks and WordPress XML files of the entire book have been uploaded to the [ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=c0cd5405-a301-4940-ab3a-… | BC Open Textbook Collection ] . I will notify all BC faculty, on record, who have adopted this textbook about this latest development.
I'd also like to offer a hearty thank you to our open education support, Joey Ma who, along with Brendan Lane, were the driving force behind this long project. Without Joey's tenacity, this task would not have been completed. Thank you Joey!
This news has been updated in our [ https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/ | Pressbooks Guide ] in the section describing our [ https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/chapter/why/ | ongoing work adding OpenStax books to Pressbooks ] .

We've created a Google doc with links to OERs on this topic. Because we're using it for a course development project, we've limited edit access to our team for now. Thanks, all, for sharing. Larry, feel free to add this to your list.

Hi everyone,
Here are some ways that you can promote OEW at your institution:
Cheers,
Rosario
Three ways that PSE institutions can participate in [ https://www.openeducationweek.org/ | Open Education Week ] (OEW March 27-31 )
1. Organize one or more local activities (speaker, workshop, student reception) on campus during OEW to create open education awareness. There are promotional materials that can be downloaded and customized from the OEW site (banners, posters, slide templates). Optional but recommended: submit these local events to the OEW site and let your colleagues around the country know what you are doing. (Organizers might include library, prof dev dept, teaching & learning centers, student services)
2. Share the OEW online activities and resources with your campus . Organize a brown bag lunch or faculty meet-up around a webinar submitted to the Open Education Week calendar. Facilitate informal discussions on open education before and after.
3. Submit resources to the OEW site from your college e.g. short videos, infographs, case studies that showcase your OER adoptions and degrees (due end-of-February). Colleges can also submit their own branded webinars to the OEW site and present about their OER programs/pilots.
