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
