Program:
8:30am-9:00am: Arrivals & Refreshments
9:00am-9:25am: Welcome & Introductions
* Speaker: Elder Rose Nahanee
9:25am-10:25am: Speaker Sessions
* Using Scrum to Support Student Learning in an Open Ed course at Capilano
Speaker: Laurie Prange-Martin (Instructor, School of Business)
Description: One of the biggest challenges for faculty making the switch to Open Ed resources is the loss of the time-saving devices available from publishers, especially test banks and slide decks. Supporting the switch to Open Ed also requires the preparation of assessments, usually project-based, and active in-class learning. Learn to make project-based learning and in-class activities work using the Scrum project management method.
* Open Pedagogy in Trades Classroom Teaching at BCIT
Speaker: Chad Flinn (Instructor, Electrical Trades and Entrepreneurship for the Trades. Author: The Electric Academy)
Description: Chad shares how he uses Open educational practices and Open educational resources in his own teaching as a vocational instructor at BCIT. Throughout the past two years, Chad has experienced a shift in mindset that involves bringing the students into the process of co-creation of resources and shares how it has transformed his teaching practice.
* Kwantlen Psychology Student Journal
Speaker: Arleigh Reichl (Instructor, Department of Psychology)
Description: This talk will cover two open education projects promoting student (and faculty) learning. The first is a student-faculty collaboration to create an open access, online journal publishing the work of KPU Psychology students. The second is the inclusion of an international video competition as a course assignment – with some amazing results.
10:25am-10:45am: Break & Refreshments
10:45am-11:45am: Speaker Sessions
* From Adopting to Adapting: the Role of Pressbooks at Langara College
Speaker: Julian Prior (Chair of Educational Technology and Open Langara)
Description: Langara is one of the largest adopters of open textbooks in BC post-secondary education. Recently we are seeing more interest from instructors in adapting and creating open textbooks. This talk will discuss the role that the online authoring and publishing platform Pressbooks has played in this transition.
* Using OJS for SFU Course Journal Projects
Speaker: Kate Shuttleworth (Community Scholars Librarian and Librarian, Digital Publishing)
Description: Kate will share some examples of course journal projects at SFU Library which feature student work and involve students in the production of online, open access journals using Open Journal Systems. Students participate in the scholarly publishing workflow, work together to design and develop the journal, and showcase their written and multimedia assignments.
* Practice Makes Perfect: Developing for and Using WeBWorK Open Online Homework in Engineering at UBC
Speakers: Agnes d’Entremont (Senior Instructor, Mechanical Engineering) with students Warren Chan, Wan Fong and Tyler Leonizio
Description: Practicing problem-solving is an essential part of learning in many engineering courses. WeBWorK is an open online homework system, primarily used in mathematics, which provides instant feedback on practice problems. Over three years, instructors at UBC have developed and deployed over 1000 WeBWorK problems across seven engineering departments. We will share what worked (and what didn’t) from multiple perspectives: instructor, developer, coder, tech support, and student user.
11:45am-12:00pm: Closing & Acknowledgements
* Speaker: Tim Carson (Trades Open Education Representative, BCcampus)
Organized by the BC Open Education Librarians (BCOEL)<https://bcoel.ca/> group with support from BCcampus, British Columbia Institute of Technology, Capilano University, Langara College, Simon Fraser University, University Canada West and the University of British Columbia.

Open data user stories
We often hear “Is open data really useful? Who uses open data? What value does it bring to citizens?” We often talk about open data and its potential but it can be difficult to see the real tangible impacts and how it powers innovations. This is why we’re pleased to announce the launch of our Open data user stories! Within this new section of open.canada.ca<https://open.canada.ca/en> you’ll find eight used cases ranging from organizations using open data to start and grow their business, to students completing their thesis work, to journalists creating valuable data visualizations to inform Canadians and more.
Check out this section<https://open.canada.ca/en/stories> and be sure to come back often as more stories will be released throughout the year.
Have you used open data? Know someone who’s used open data?
We’d love to hear your stories of how open data has helped power your projects. You can contact us at open-ouvert(a)tbs-sct.gc.ca<mailto:open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca> to tell us all about it!
Thank you,

Ce deuxième webinaire sera consacré à la valeur des contrats ouverts pour différents secteurs. Nous examinerons et définirons ce que sont les contrats ouverts et l'approvisionnement ainsi que son rôle dans la prestation d'un accès plus inclusif aux marchés du gouvernement du Canada, ainsi que la manière dont les contrats ouverts peuvent aider les petites entreprises.
Joignez-vous à nos conférenciers invités, Carey Kluttz, responsable des programmes par pays chez Open Contracting Partnership, Lorenzo Ieraci, directeur général, Services publics et approvisionnement Canada ainsi que Diane Diotte, coordonnatrice du Bureau des entreprises en croissance du Réseau des femmes d’affaires du Québec, qui examineront les questions suivantes :

Histoires des utilisateurs de données ouvertes
Nous entendons souvent dire « Les données ouvertes sont-elles vraiment utiles? Qui utilise les données ouvertes? Quelle valeur apportent-elles aux citoyens? ». Nous parlons souvent de données ouvertes et de leur potentiel, mais il peut être difficile de voir leurs véritables impacts et la façon dont elles facilitent l’innovation. C'est pourquoi nous sommes heureux d'annoncer le lancement de nos histoires d'utilisateurs de données ouvertes! Dans cette nouvelle section du portail ouvert.canada.ca<https://ouvert.canada.ca/fr>, vous trouverez huit cas d'utilisation allant d'organisations utilisant des données ouvertes pour démarrer et développer leur entreprise, à des étudiants terminant leur thèse, en passant par des journalistes créant des visualisations de données précieuses pour informer les Canadiens et bien plus encore.
Consultez cette section<https://ouvert.canada.ca/fr/histoires> et assurez-vous de revenir souvent car d'autres histoires seront publiées tout au long de l'année.
Avez-vous utilisé des données ouvertes ? Vous connaissez quelqu'un qui a utilisé des données ouvertes ?
Nous aimerions en apprendre plus sur vos histoires où les données ouvertes ont contribué à faciliter vos projets. Vous pouvez nous contacter à open-ouvert(a)tbs-sct.gc.ca<file:///C:\Users\BLAMARCH\AppData\Roaming\OpenText\OTEdit\gcdocs_tbs-sct_gc_ca-gcdocs\c34956508\open-ouvert%40tbs-sct.gc.ca%20> pour tout nous raconter!

Hello All,
The First Nations and Indigenous Studies Program and UBC Library will be hosting an Honouring Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/HonouringIndigenousWriters/U…> on March 2nd from 1-4pm at the Sty-Wet-Tan Hall in the First Nations Longhouse at UBC Vancouver campus.
Wikipedia is a multilingual, web-based, free encyclopedia based on a model of open community-generated knowledge. This edit-a-thon is seeking to improve the coverage of Indigenous writers on Wikipedia and to encourage diverse community editors to actively work to dissuade assumptions about Indigenous literature by raising their profile in this increasingly influential information source. Attendees will pick authors from a list of Indigenous authors who have approved their inclusion in this event and edit/create their Wikipedia articles.
The event is free, catered, and features guest speakers who will share their experiences as Indigenous authors. Please bring your own laptop.
Event page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/HonouringIndigenousWriters/U…
If you are interested in developing your own Honouring Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, we would love to support you in this work. You can find the planning materials here: https://t.co/yIyk1QF2E0?amp=1<https://t.co/yIyk1QF2E0?amp=1><https://t.co/yIyk1QF2E0?amp=1>

Hello BCOEL,
BCcampus is looking at retiring its MediaWiki website (https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca<https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca/index.php/Category:BCOER>) due to its aging software. In the past BCOEL/BCOER has posted information on this site: https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca/index.php/Category:BCOER. Before BCcampus makes a final decision, we want to give BCOEL a chance to retrieve its information.
Please let me know if you need to do this. If so, how long do you need.
Thanks
