BCOEL meeting recap and an OER Week update

by BC Open Education Librarians

Good morning, all Happy Friday and happy sunshine! I hardly feel like I'm in Vancouver with the weather we're having these days! The BCOEL steering committee met this Monday for our monthly meeting and we had a great discussion! As the first one of the year, our agenda was short and sweet. We discussed the benefits, and sometimes challenges, of ZCT course marking as well as OER marketing on campus. A big part of the meeting was also introducing plans and next steps for OER week! We have decided to host a hybrid event, which will consist of an in-person networking/social opportunity as well as a virtual screening of a keynote speaker presentation. The winning focus topic for this event was "OER and student success in a time of enrolment decline" so that will be the guiding discussion point for the session. The virtual presentation will be open to all, however the in-person event is limited to the wider BCOEL network. And that's where you come in! We have the option of hosting the in-person portion either downtown (campus tbd) or at Douglas College in New Westminster, with the overall aim of making it easily accessible via transit. As folks are potentially joining from a lot of different locations, we would love to get your vote on a preferred location! The date will be between March 3-7th (specific day/time also tbd), if you're not confident you're able to attend yet no worries, we'd still love to hear from you! Please vote by Friday, January 24th (we'll go with the majority of votes). Note: the poll is a ranking set up, so as before use the arrows to the right side! https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Qyxi9WSOY0iu1AzEkI08iHK… Thanks all in advance and if you have any questions, thoughts, or concerns just reach out!

BCOEL December meeting summary and a ranking request!

by BC Open Education Librarians

Good morning, BCOEL community! We had a great meeting yesterday, thank you again Amanda for leading as I have lost my voice (also celebrating the return of Amanda)! Meeting Minutes will soon be posted on the BCOEL website<https://bcoel.ca/the-bcoel-steering-committee/steering-committee-minutes/>, but here is a quick overview, followed by an opinion poll/ask! We discussed more aspects of Open Education in a time of enrolment decline, including how to navigate the rocky waters of budget cuts and the looming threat of new tariffs, but equally how OERs can serve as both a viable and appealing option in this current climate of uncertainty. Lindsay and McKenzie have plans to create a CC licensed PPT that will highlight these issues and the role of OER in addressing them, and I'm really looking forward to hearing more about it in the new year! We also spoke about the challenges of ZTC designation and how to appropriately reflect time and effort in funding requests. We wrapped up with a discussion on GenAI and OER, and Brenda shared this great Artificial Intelligence In Education<https://aieducation.trubox.ca/> toolbox from TRU that covers a wide array of topics, issues, and classroom ideas. We spent some time discussing the potential theme for the upcoming OER week in March and have landed on the following. The specifics of each are yet to be determined, but we would love your help in determining a theme and narrowing our efforts. Some of these will potentially involve getting a speaker, so if you have any suggestions, please send them our way! Guide: Hover over each option and use the arrow keys on the far right to rearrange and rank your preferences. Your feedback is anonymous. Poll: Please rank your preference for the BCOEL OER week theme and prospective event<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Qyxi9WSOY0iu1AzEkI08iHK…> Thank you all in advance for your time and consideration. This year has been a very busy but rewarding one, and I'm very much looking forward to some time off! I hope you all have a great holiday season, one that is restful and filled with good food and even better cheer! Looking forward to connecting further in the new year and doing even more exciting OER activities!
