Hi Lin,
Other people have been having issues with not getting the BCOEL Steering listserv… It’s weird that it’s being inconsistent for you though. CC’ing Debra in case she might know why?
No worries!

Thanks Amanda,
I seem to not be getting very many emails from you but some are getting through OK. I didn’t get the adjusted meeting invite, for instance, or the two about the poll, or any about the Sept. meeting. Just wanted to let you know that I am not ignoring you!

Hi everyone,

Hello!
For our October BCOEL Meeting, we moved it from the second Monday (9th) to the third Monday (16th) because of Thanksgiving. However, I notice that Monday the 16th is the OE Global Conference and several of us will be attending and therefore unavailable.
I see three options:
1. Move it to Monday Oct 23
2. Move it to Tuesday Oct 10 (same time, 1-2pm)
3. Cancel it and wait until our next meeting (Nov 20)
Please vote in this StrawPoll by the end of next week (Friday Sept 22) so that I can make a decision and update everyone in time.
Thanks,
Amanda

Hello!
Here is a placeholder for BCOEL monthly meetings, which will be held on the second Monday of every month, except for October and November when they will be on the third Monday. This year, the meetings will be held over Zoom (links below).
The week before a meeting, I'll send out an official call for agenda items, but feel free to reach out anytime you have something specific you'd like us to discuss.
Looking forward to working with everyone this year!
Cheers,
Amanda

Hello!
I want to share this new article that was recently published by KPU faculty member Deirdre Maultsaid and TRU faculty member Michelle Harrison. This publication is the result of Deirdre’s year working with us as an Open Education Research Fellow and explores student perspectives on Open Pedagogy.
Can Open Pedagogy Encourage Care? Student Perspectives<https://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/6901>
Abstract: As a response to the increasing commercialization of postsecondary education, educators argue for a practice of care in education. Open pedagogy (OP) seems like an ideal practice where care, trust, and inclusion can be realized. OP is characterized as a democratic and collaborative pedagogical practice, in which students and teachers work to co-create learning and knowledge using openly licensed materials, open platforms, and other open processes. The purposes of this study were, first, to reveal ways students in postsecondary institutions perceive care and, second, to determine how students suggest OP can be used to create an open/caring learning process. A task-oriented focus group method engaged students from four teaching-focused institutions. The students created open cases on social issues for class discussion and reflected on care and OP processes in postsecondary settings. Using four elements of the ethics of care—attentiveness, responsibility, competence, and trustworthiness—as conceptual categories, the study examined students’ experience of care and care in OP using affective coding and thematic analysis. The results showed that through OP, with teacher support and explicitly designed practices of care, students can assert their agency, have quintessential roles in creating and participating in highly relevant curriculum and importantly, care about others, and be cared for. OP is a process able to involve a diverse population of students and embody care as an all-encompassing practice.

Hello (again)!
Would anyone be interested in Arianna’s suggestion below to write a blog post for the BCcampus website for Open Access Week?
Cheers,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,
That's no problem. We just thought we would ask and make the offer.
If someone at BCOEL is interested, you could write a guest blog post for the BCcampus website pertaining to Open Access Week. This was a suggestion by our MarComm team. This blog post could then be promoted in our newsletter published on October 18, so the turnaround time would probably be less than a month.
Is there any interest in this? It's okay if not: we just wanted to reach out.
Thanks,
Arianna Cheveldave she/her

Hi Arianna,
Unfortunately, we didn’t discuss a potential OA Week event at our meeting on Monday, and I don’t think we’ll be meeting soon enough to pull something off in time.
I’ll make a note to discuss OA week events during our June meeting and get the ball rolling earlier.
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,
I hope you're doing well! How is the start of the fall semester?
I am reaching out to see if BCOEL has any events planned for Open Access Week 2023<https://www.openaccessweek.org/theme/en> that you would like to add to the BCcampus Events Calendar. If you pass them to me, I will make sure they get on the calendar.

Hi everyone,
I looked into the Zoom meeting settings and found that KPU IT has locked the setting that requires used to sign into Zoom before joining a meeting. Since everyone seemed to be able to join on Monday, I’m going to proceed with the assumption that we can continue using Zoom. If anyone has an issue with this, please let me know and I will reschedule the meetings through Teams.
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi everyone,
Hope you’ve all had a great summer! I’m both nervous and excited to be the new 2023/2024 BCOEL Chair. Please don’t hesitate to provide me with feedback if there’s something that I’m doing that isn’t working for the group.
Attached is the tentative agenda for our upcoming Monday meeting. If anyone has agenda items to add, please send them along before Friday Sept 8.
See you next week!
