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

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,
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."
