Hi everyone!
The BCOEL Steering Committee is starting to think about and plan an event for Open Education Week (Mar 4-8).
Instead of deciding amongst ourselves what would be best, we want to hear from you about which topics are most relevant to you and your institutions. Please let us know by participating in this poll https://strawpoll.com/PKgl3WlJRnp and ranking the topics by your interest level. If you have an alternative topic suggestion, please let us know!
Deadline for response is Nov 17.
Thank you for your participation and contribution. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Dear colleagues,
You are invited to register for the Spring 2023 Workshop<https://etug.ca/2023/04/03/spring-workshop-2023-registration/> hosted by the Educational Technology Users Group (ETUG).
In this two-day online and in-person workshop — titled “Future-proof Learning Design: The Integration of Digital Literacy, Inclusive Tech, and AI” — we will showcase how instructors, education developers, and education technologists are approaching design. For example, we’ll explore how digital literacy, inclusive technology, and AI could be “baked” into courses and how instructors are supported in making design decisions around technology. We’ll also consider the ongoing communication and capacity-building at institutions around digital literacy, accessibility, and AI, such as how teaching and learning centres and libraries get the word out to instructors and students about new approaches and resources.
Join us online via Zoom or in-person at Kwantlen Polytechnic University Lansdowne Road Campus in Richmond, B.C.,<https://www.kpu.ca/richmond> for this 2-day hybrid event, sponsored by BCcampus.
* Day 1: Thursday, June 1, 2023: 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM Pacific Time
* Day 2: Friday, June 2, 2023: 9:00 AM to 3:45 PM Pacific Time
* Schedule available here.<https://etug.ca/2023/04/25/spring-workshop-2023-schedule/>
Workshop Rates: 2-day Registration Only
* In-Person: $200 CAD + GST (light meals and snacks will be provided)
* Online: $150 CAD + GST
* Students: Free
In-person registration closes at 11:59 p.m. Pacific on Friday, May 26. Online registration will be open until the very end of the event.

Hi all,
I wanted to forward on an event next week with BCcampus that SFU is hosting. Please feel free to share with anyone you think would be interested in attending!
We are incredibly excited to be hosing Harper Friedman and Kaitlyn Zheng on April 6th from 11-12:30pm.
Please forward this to any and all community members from your institutions who you think might be interested in learning more about open textbook creation through PressBooks, and please come out and learn with us as well!
Event Description:
In this webinar hosted by SFU Library, presenters from BCcampus will introduce Pressbooks and show you how to create and share open educational resources (OER) with students and fellow educators. Pressbooks is an online self-publishing tool available to all post-secondary faculty and staff in B.C. and the Yukon. Topics in this webinar include an introduction to Pressbooks, how to create an account, how to create a book in Pressbooks, and an overview of the Pressbooks editor. The webinar will also introduce such topics as creating math equations using MathJax, importing content, H5P, and sharing books in multiple formats.
Event tickets can be reserved via. Eventbrite at this link: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/introduction-to-pressbooks-tickets-560710378837

Hello,
I have a question related to how people deal with open educational resources in their institutional repositories. Are there any best practices/processes you use for the metadata? Do you have particular Dublin Core fields and descriptors, keywords you use, or descriptive information that makes it easier to find within your repository?
Thanks for any help you can give!
Erin
Please join virtually on March 10th from 10am-11:30am for the BC Open Education Librarians' (BCOEL) Open Ed Week event: Finding the Free Path: Making Zero-Textbook-Cost Courses Visible.
Our panel of speakers will describe how they made ZTC course information visible and discoverable at their institutions and how highlighting or marking ZTC courses allowed students to make informed decisions regarding the cost of their course materials.
The event is aimed at all open education advocates looking for practical information to help them expand the visibility of open education at their institutions.

Dear colleagues,
Join the team behind the Decolonizing Together Symposium at UBC on Thursday, February 9 at 3:30 p.m. Pacific for a virtual information session about their forthcoming Multimedia Ally Toolkit<https://indigenizinglearning.educ.ubc.ca/ally-toolkit/>. Click here to join the Zoom meeting<https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81732285846?pwd=dktsS2ZYamF0N3BZUmE4bmFLR0pEQT09> (meeting ID: 817 3228 5846 and passcode: 067547).
As you may recall, the team behind the Decolonizing Together Symposium at UBC is pleased to invite contributions to their forthcoming Multimedia Ally Toolkit. Hosted on the Decolonizing Teaching Indigenizing Learning website<https://indigenizinglearning.educ.ubc.ca/decolonizing-together-symposium/>, this open toolkit will feature text-based, podcast, and video content to bring to light the perspectives and experiences of racialized and marginalized people previously absent in teacher education programming. Through this medium, they aim to address how Indigenous erasure, racism, ableism, and multiple other forms of oppression are taken up in the Faculties of Education at UBC and how to address existing gaps through changes to practice and policy.
Building on the thought-provoking presentations during the two Decolonizing Together Symposiums in October 2021 and January 2022, they continue to aim at cultivating a diverse community to create and sustain equitable and inclusive campuses and teacher education experiences. Topics addressed in this toolkit may include anti-racism, anti-oppression, anti-ableism, sexuality and gender discrimination, inclusive learning practice, and settler of colour experiences. Their goal is to provide in-service and pre-service teachers with practical and applicable approaches to addressing this content in their teaching, or for facing challenges related to these issues as they arise in day-to-day practice.
Interested contributors are asked to send a brief proposal (maximum 300 words) to the team by March 1, 2023.
Final papers and other content are due July 1, 2023.
Parameters for final works:
* Papers: 3500–5000 words (not including references)
* Audio: 10–15 minutes of podcast feed or other audio recording
* Video: 10 minutes in length
Submission timeline:
* Proposals due: March 1, 2023
* Acceptance notification: April 1, 2023
* Final works submitted: July 1, 2023
* Publication: September 1, 2023
Please direct any questions to Dr. Surita Jhangiani (surita.jhangiani(a)ubc.ca).
