Dear colleagues,
Open Education Week is fast approaching! To celebrate, BCcampus is hosting an Open Education Challenge Series<https://oechallenge.opened.ca/about-the-open-education-challenge-series/> for educators interested in learning more about open education practices (OEP). From March 1 to March 5, we will release two challenges a day. A challenge is a micro activity that you can do in 10 minutes or less that will introduce a small aspect of open education.
Everyone is welcome to participate, but the challenges are designed for educators who are new to open education. Topics to explore include open licences, open textbooks, and perhaps even open pedagogy! This isn’t a bootcamp or crash course in open education: it’s more of a tasting buffet of appetizers, designed to allow even the most time-constrained educators to participate.
Please share this event with your departments and networks, especially those who are new to open education. Invite your colleagues to participate with you! It’s a great way to learn about OEP together. Here is the event page and where to register: OE Challenge Series 2021<https://bccampus.ca/event/open-education-challenge-series-2021/>
Sincerely,
The Facilitators: Carolee Clyne, Josie Gray, Clint Lalonde, Melanie Meyers, and Krista Lambert

Wicked Problems and Open Remedies: A Student-Centred Approach
A wicked problem is one that is difficult or impossible to solve due to incomplete, contradictory, interconnected, or changing factors. A problem that requires a major change in practice, belief, or behaviour for many people is often a wicked problem. Drawing on this idea, we turn our attention to the wicked problem in higher education of empowering students in the classroom and centring student voices in exploring the challenges of and potential solutions for this problem. Arley Cruthers (Kwantlen) will moderate the session. Student panelists include Kristen Morgan (UBC Okanagan), Sophia Nguyen (Simon Fraser University [SFU]), and Caitlin Spreeuw (Douglas College). Open Education Week (March 1-5, 2021) is an annual global event that aims to "raise awareness and showcase the impact of open education on teaching and learning worldwide."

For the past several years UBC Library, the First Nations and Indigenous Studies Program, and event sponsors (see below) have organized the Honouring Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-thon<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/HonouringIndigenousWriters>. This edit-a-thon event, inspired by Daniel Heath Justice’s<https://fnis.arts.ubc.ca/persons/daniel-justice/> Twitter campaign of the same name, seeks to bring community editors together to work on editing Wikipedia entries for Indigenous authors in an attempt to tackle the systemic bias of Wikipedia while also trying to raise the profile of Indigenous writers.
Instead of the annual in-person event this year the organizing team has put together a schedule of free events and Wikipedia-related activities designed for virtual participation throughout the month of March 2021. The events include:
* Author readings <https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/events> by Smokii Sumac, Richard Van Camp, Tenille Campbell, Marilyn Dumont and more
* Self-paced Weekly Wikipedia Challenges <https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/activities> with prize draws
* Wikipedia training and drop-in Zoom sessions<https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/events>
* <https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/events> A panel discussion<https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/events> from the UBC Vancouver Public Humanities Hub on Wikipedia as public scholarship
* And a social media campaign on Twitter<https://twitter.com/HIW_Wiki>
These events and activities are free and open to anyone to participate. Please join us at our kickoff event and reading with Smokii Sumac on February 24th at 7:00pm PST, and learn more about the other events we have planned! You can also read more at the HIW home page<https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/>, and at the HIW Wikipedia Meetup Page<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/HonouringIndigenousWriters/U…>.
We would also appreciate your support of the event by helping to promote it through your listservs, social media accounts, and other spaces to help raise awareness of Indigenous literature and engage in open community knowledge creation.
The event team has developed a number of social media assets in a variety of sizes for ease of sharing. The assets can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JjUP3kuTsogRBLXv4HF7c281MXLu0x_y?us…
Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions and thank you in advance for any support you can give in making this event a success. Thank you to event sponsors, the Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies<https://cis.arts.ubc.ca/>, Iron Dog Books<https://irondogbooks.com/>, BCcampus<https://bccampus.ca/>, and the UBC Bookstore<https://bookstore.ubc.ca/>.

Hello all,
Forwarding an event next week that may be of interest to you:
Open Art Histories: Three Views on Open Educational Resources
Friday, February 26, 10:00pm – 11:30pm PST
Description: Are you interested in what ArtxHistory.org founder Natalie Coletta describes as “rejecting the dominant language and scholarship that create a climate of elitism and exclusivity” in art history? Are you curious about using open educational resources (OERs) to do so? Join us for an afternoon of talks with three art historians leading the development of open access teaching materials that seek to challenge traditional textbook conventions. Leah Clark will share how Open Arts Objects, an open access platform providing free films inspires diverse audiences to understand art and visual culture while leading change in museum educational programmes and professional practice and increasing public awareness about a global approach to art history. Natalie Coletta founded the ArtxHistory portal as a means to decolonize academia, while serving students and teachers and addressing challenging topics in the areas of artistic practice, history, and critique of 20th and 21st century art. Smarthistory’s Dean of Content and Strategy, Lauren Kilroy-Ewbank will speak to how the resource’s free, award-winning digital content unlocks the expertise of hundreds of leading scholars making the history of art accessible and engaging to more people around the world.
Please note: This event is free, but registration is required<https://langara.zoom.us/meeting/register/u50lcOuqrjsrH9HEi0C0devRKYGVaRX0uP…>.
