Hello all,
It was great to see so many of you at the BCOEL lunch at the Cascadia Open Ed Summit last week! During our roundtable, I mentioned that my colleague Dan Slessor recently visualized Langara’s open textbook adoption data in Tableau. Here is a link<https://public.tableau.com/profile/langaralibrary#!/vizhome/OpenLangara/Ove…> if you’re curious to see what it looks like. It is based on the data we collect in collaboration with Lauri Aesoph at BCcampus.
Last month, Langara’s Communications & Marketing Department developed branding for our open ed committee, Open Langara. Dan worked the branding into the visualization. We’re hoping it will help communicate the impact of open textbooks, and open ed more broadly, to senior leadership and the wider Langara community.
If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to be in touch!
All the best,
-Lindsay

Hello,
Brenda and I were able to have a phone meeting yesterday. This is what we came up with:
Cascadia BCOEL lunch meeting in room 1400. We will be informal but could have a round table and discuss whether we want to have an in-person working meeting in the summer (June-Aug.). We may have some new people joining us so perhaps we could talk about how the group functions and answer their questions.
Next meeting - does the week of May 13 work?
Agenda items:
* we need a Chair-elect to start 2 year term in September - Chair-elect (and meeting minute-taker) Sep.-Aug. 2019/20 and Chair Sep.-Aug. 2020/21
* update on our working groups
* summer in-person working meeting planning (if we are going to have one)
Let us know if you have anything else you would like to change or add.
See you next week!

I noticed this last week and meant to send an email out - now it is even more official since it is in the BCcampus newsletter.
Congratulations on your award for excellence in open education Erin!

Hi Everyone,
I was going to send a message to BCcampus asking if we could have a space for lunch for BCOEL to meet during Cascadia. Or do you think we should schedule a meeting Thursday afternoon, since it seems to end at lunchtime? What do you all think?
Thanks,
Brenda
