Dear colleagues,
BCcampus recently received notice of an opportunity to collaborate with Wiki Education in the Fall 2021 term. Below is the modified text from a message that we received about this opportunity.
The deadline to run a Wikipedia assignment in Fall 2021 is rapidly approaching! To run a Wikipedia assignment this Fall, submit your application by June 20. Wiki Education's support is fully funded, and there are no fees to run a Wikipedia assignment.
The reasons to run a Wikipedia assignment are myriad, but here are some reflections that capture the essence of the project:
"Although many students admitted they had first felt intimidated by the thought of their work being ‘out there’ on the internet, they all commented on the huge sense of achievement they felt seeing their articles published on Wikipedia at the end of semester and how contributing to global knowledge was incredibly fulfilling."
—Professor Victoria Austin, University of Winnipeg
"One of the things I loved about this project was the idea of being able to improve something on a public platform and offer substantive research that could be helpful to someone who might not have access to the same resources we are so lucky to have as students at the University of Michigan."
—Aja Brandmeier, Student, University of Michigan
To apply for a spot in the program, follow these steps:
1. Create an account at dashboard.wikiedu.org<https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/>.
2. Go through Wiki Education's Orientation for New Instructors<https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/instructors/new-instructor-orientati…>. You'll be prompted to do this once you create an account.
3. After you complete the orientation, you'll be asked to launch the Assignment Design Wizard. Go through the wizard to create your course page. Your course page will be the central hub for your Wikipedia assignment, and it's how you receive support from Wiki Education. When you're ready, submit the course page, and your application will be complete!
We will notify you by July 16 if we are able to offer you a spot for the Fall 2021 term. Applications submitted after June 20 will only be considered if space allows.
For more information, contact Helaine Blumenthal at helaine(a)wikiedu.org<mailto:helaine@wikiedu.org>.

Dear BCOEL community,
Please join us on Thursday, May 27 from 11am-12pm for a conversation about how B.C. colleges and universities are supporting Pressbooks. Speakers from three post-secondary institutions (BCIT, Kwantlen, and UBC) will share some of the successes and challenges they've experienced. We'll leave ample time for Q&A/casual discussion.
Pressbooks is an open source book production platform based on WordPress. Our open education partner, BCcampus, hosts an instance of Pressbooks and offers staff and educators from post-secondary institutions in B.C. and the Yukon a free account<https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/>.
This is an informal session for information sharing and no registration is required (Zoom details provided below). We hope to see many of you there!
Many thanks,
Lindsay Tripp
(on behalf of the BCOEL Steering Committee)

Dear colleagues,
A reminder that all Canadian 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, ending on April 30. All responses are anonymous. Final results will be shared out later this year.
BCcampus in partnership with Vretta<https://www.vretta.com/ordering.html> and the Manitoba Open Textbook Initiative<https://openedmb.ca/> is surveying Canadian post-secondary institutions about their knowledge about/adoption of/suggested improvements to the distribution of OpenStax’s hardbound books in Canada<https://bccampus.ca/2021/02/23/hard-back-openstax-books-come-to-canada/>, and the usage of and need for printed open textbooks in general.

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
