Hi everyone,
I'd like to find out if there are any institutions in B.C. where the student union provides the funds for OER grants to help faculty adopt open textbooks. If this is the case at your institution could you provide a few details on how it works.
Also, if you are interested in what I hear back then please let me know and I will share what I learn.
Thanks,
Debra

Dear colleagues,
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of InclusiveAccess.org<https://www.inclusiveaccess.org/>: a community-driven initiative to raise awareness of the facts about automatic textbook billing.
Little known five years ago, Inclusive Access has taken off as a sales model that automatically adds the cost of digital textbooks into students’ tuition and fees. While this model is intended to address some of the challenges with high textbook costs, it is also creating new challenges for students and faculty.
How exactly does Inclusive Access work? Does it really save students money? What about this kind of program is “inclusive”? Straightforward answers to these questions aren’t always easy to find.
InclusiveAccess.org is a one-stop-shop for information, tools, and other resources to help administrators, faculty, students, and policymakers make informed decisions about Inclusive Access and its implications for the campus community.
InclusiveAccess.org was developed by SPARC with generous support from the Michelson 20MM Foundation<http://20mm.org/>. Partners<http://inclusiveaccess.org/about-us> include AAC&U, Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, Creative Commons, DigiTex, Student PIRGs, Open Education Global, and OpenStax. Other mission-aligned organizations are encouraged to join.
If conversations about Inclusive Access are happening in your campus or state, we hope you will consider sharing this resource far and wide! To stay in the loop, sign up for emails<https://www.inclusiveaccess.org/subscribe> and follow @TextbookBilling<https://twitter.com/textbookbilling> on Twitter.
Cheers,
Nicole Starr Allen

Dear colleagues,
The Community College Consortium for OER is offering a webinar on Wednesday, October 13 at 12 p.m. PDT/3 p.m. EDT called OER Funding and Impact Measurements<https://www.cccoer.org/webinar/oer-funding-and-impact-measurements/>.
The event description says, "Let’s be honest: the questions every institution or organization interested in embarking on an OER project has to ask at some point are 'Where’s the money, and how do I get it?' There are lots of ways these questions can be answered, so we’ll be discussing various OER funding streams and examine ways in which the work is measured to justify sustainability and scalability. Hear from funders and fundees alike, from across the U.S."
Register for this Zoom meeting online<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYlduuprT8rE9zqwyPU-F2ss81q6ZkbFu…>.
