Hi all,
Following up to the conversation at our last meeting. If you would like to share your institution's textbook adoptions on the BCOEL OER Commons group, please forward them to me in whatever format you see fit. I can upload a document (ie. excel) directly to the group or if you have a weblink where this information is already shared, I can link to that from within the group. Also, feel free to redact faculty names ahead of sending them to me, or I can remove them before I share the information.
Have a great day!
Cheers,
Darcye

Faculty, librarians, bookstore staff, and students are invited to participate in the Canadian Distribution of OpenStax hardcover textbooks<https://sfu-bccampus.cmail20.com/t/d-l-qcjdty-ehldhkki-jl/> survey.

Dear colleagues,
Registration for the KPU Open Education Research Institute 2021 is now open. See below and the attached PDF for more information about this exciting opportunity for new and emerging open education researchers.
Dates: Monday, May 3 | Wednesday, May 5 | Friday, May 7
Time: 9am – 12pm (PST)
Program Description: As open education initiatives mature, it is imperative to investigate their impacts whether it be to advocate for institutional support or to iterate, innovate and further advance the goal of equitable access. For this reason, open education research is becoming an important facet within a healthy and thriving open ecosystem. This three-day Open Education Research Institute (OERI) provides an opportunity for new and emerging researchers interested in open educational practices to deepen their knowledge and sharpen their skillset while connecting with other researchers and joining a Provincial mentorship network.
Learning Outcomes:
Participants will
* receive an overview of existing research on open educational practices, including a special focus on research conducted in or by researchers in British Columbia.
* learn about different theoretical and methodological frameworks for research in open education
* receive guidance on practical issues such as preparing applications for ethical review of their research projects and publishing their work in open access journals or repositories
* work in affinity groups to draft and revise their research questions and be paired with an experienced researcher, who will serve as their mentor for the following year.
The OERI is jointly funded by KPU's Office of Open Education and BCcampus. While there will be no cost to register for the event, registration is required for planning and logistics.
To maintain a fruitful experience for participants, registration is limited. To cultivate a research community here is BC, priority will be given to registrants at BC institutions.
For more information and to register, please visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/oeri
The full program will be published in April 2021.
For questions, please contact Rajiv Jhangiani and Urooj Nizami at open(a)kpu.ca.
Dear colleagues,
Happy mid-way through Open Education Week!
Today, I would like to share an article Andrew McKinney (CUNY) and I published on the work we have been doing relate to OER and tenure and promotion, called "Practitioner Perspectives: The DOERS3 Collaborative on OER in Tenure and Promotion."<https://nebhe.org/journal/practitioner-perspectives-the-doers3-collaborativ…> I hope you find it useful in your advocacy efforts. Feedback welcome!
