Hello,
At our last "in person" meeting I mentioned I would like to request some release time (25% plus) for an Open Education Faculty Fellow within Douglas.
Someone, other than Kwantlen who has an Associate Vice Provost for Open Education, mentioned at the meeting that there is someone at their institution and I thought I jotted that down and now I can't find where I jotted that down :)
Could you let me know if you have something or trying to get something like this at your institution. If you have a Faculty Fellow or are working on it, have you put forward a rationale proposal and would you be willing to share that document?
Thanks for any information you can provide.
Debra

Hi again all,
Based on the number of interested emails I received, I am forwarding the files Jennifer Weldon created for the BCcampus open textbook collection look-up tool with the whole list.
Lauri, Jennifer (who works on contract with both Langara and VCC) created the tool and was happy for me to share the code with BCcampus and the wider open ed community. No sense re-inventing the wheel! 😉
Best,
Lindsay

Hi Lindsay,
I’ve finished annotating the code snippet/styling for the Open Textbook search box. I’ve attached it as a .html file and as a .txt file. Feel free to share it with anyone who wants it, and I am happy to answer any questions that arise.
Best,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
I attended the BC Open Ed Librarians retreat at BCIT Vancouver yesterday and a few attendees asked if you would be willing to share the BC Open Textbook Collection look-up tool you created for the VCC and Langara open ed LibGuides. If you are, I’m wondering about the best way to share it(?) Any suggestions are welcome!
Many thanks,
Lindsay

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that we have the June BCOEL Steering Committee Meeting on Wednesday, June 12th at BCIT's Downtown Campus (555 Seymour Street, Vancouver) in room 481. The meeting will be from 9am to noon, but the room is booked for 8:30. We will not be providing refreshments due to budget issues, so please be sure to bring coffee/morning snack if so desired. We'll build in a longer coffee break in the agenda to give us time to go downstairs and get required caffeine.
Some of the topics to discuss/work on include:
o Youtube channel content
o Maintaining website - who should do? How frequently?
o Review decisions from January - are things working?;
o What are our plans for the next year?
o Time for working group to plan out remainder of the year and/or work on projects
Could you let me know if you are still able (or are now able) to attend so that Lin and I have rough numbers?
Also - attached are the November and May minutes. Thanks to Lin for doing those.
I'm only working a half day today (first day back after a nasty case of bronchitis brought me to my knees), and I'm catching the early flight to Vancouver tomorrow morning for the Relais Users Group meeting, so responses may be delayed.
Thanks,
Brenda
