Hello Everyone,
We have just published the date (July 11) for the next [ https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ | Pressbooks Training webinars ] .
This time, in addition to our Introduction session, we will also be offering an Intermediate 1 session focusing on how to import certain files into Pressbooks and exporting a variety of file types. For faculty and staff who do not have experience using Pressbooks, it is strongly recommended that they take the Introduction webinar before the Intermediate. These two webinars are conveniently scheduled so they can be taken on the same day.
For more information and to register, please see: [ https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ | https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ ]
Regards,
Lauri Aesoph

Hello,
I just wanted to let everyone on the BCOEL list know that there have been some changes to the BCOEL Steering Committee. I am the new Chair and Lin Brander from BCIT has agreed to take on the role of Chair Elect.
I want to extend a huge thank you to Debra Flewelling from Douglas College, the outgoing Chair, for all her work as BCOEL's inaugural Chair of the Steering Committee.
If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about the BCOEL Steering Committee, please let me know.
Thanks,
Brenda Smith

Hello,
In case you missed it, in this last week, there have been two professional development announcement for Librarians working in the OER area. They are:
SPARC Open Education Leadership Program - https://sparcopen.org/our-work/open-education-leadership-program/
and a Creative Commons Certificate for Librarians - https://certificates.creativecommons.org/
I've register for the fall session for the CC Certificate course because it is priced reasonably at $300.00 while the Leadership Program is very expensive, especially after converting it to CDN dollars.
Regards,
Debra

Here are two scenarios that I need you help with:
1. We are building content for an open module. Can we paraphrase and cite copyrighted material, such as studies?
2. Online videos have been created with some ideas based on a book, which is referenced in the videos. Can we cc license these videos?
My take is that copyrighted work is constantly cited in journal articles and other matter and then that new material is copyrighted to the new author or journal or whatever, so the above scenarios should be acceptable as long as the materials are not directly copied.
Thanks for any advice you can provide!
