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!

Looking forward to seeing those of you who can make it next week to Cascadia and our BCOEL lunch on Thursday.

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
Do you think this is something that the BCOEL Steering Committee might want to put together? Maybe something about how established groups are moving forward and evolving? After all, we’re no longer trying to wrap our heads around what the 5Rs mean and introduce people to OER.

Announcing CARL’s Visiting Program Officer and Working Group for Open Education
http://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/announcing-open-ed-vpo-and-wg/
Ottawa, March 8, 2019. – CARL is pleased to announce the knowledgeable and diverse team that will support its program of bilingual initiatives to strengthen the open education community within Canada’s academic libraries.
First, we would like to welcome Erin Fields, who will be leading CARL’s open education efforts while on a one-year part-time secondment in the newly created role of Visiting Program Officer for Open Education.
For the past four years Erin, who is Liaison Librarian in the humanities and social sciences and Flexible Learning Coordinator at the University of British Columbia, has engaged in partnerships related to open education including open badge credentials, Wikipedia-based assignments and edit-athons, open education practices, and content curation for open repositories. She has played an important role in the BC Open Education Librarians network, a service for librarians and academics requesting guidance and support in engaging in open education practices including open textbook adoptions and creation. Erin was one of the 2018 BCcampus Research and Advocacy Fellows and is currently finishing her research on critical information literacy intersections with open pedagogy.
As part of her role as VPO, Erin will work closely with Joy Kirchner (Dean of Libraries, York University), who will chair CARL’s equally new Open Education Working Group. This group, which brings together librarians from post-secondary institutions across the country, will provide experienced input and advice to guide CARL’s open education initiatives.

Présentation de l’agente de programme invitée et du groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC
http://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/nouvelles/presentation-equipe-educ-ouverte/
Ottawa, le 7 mars 2019. – L’ABRC est heureuse d’annoncer la composition de l’équipe compétente et diversifiée qui appuiera son programme d’initiatives bilingues visant à renforcer la communauté de l’éducation ouverte au sein des bibliothèques post-secondaires du Canada.

Elle a joué un grand rôle au sein du réseau desBC Open Education Librarians, un service à l’intention des bibliothécaires et des universitaires à la recherche de conseils et de soutien pour la mise en œuvre de pratiques en éducation ouverte, y compris l’adoption et la création de textes en libre accès. Boursière en recherche et en défense des intérêts du BCcampus en 2018, Erin termine actuellement ses recherches sur les rapports essentiels entre la culture informationnelle et la pédagogie ouverte.
À titre d’agente de programme invitée, Erin travaillera en étroite collaboration avec Joy Kirchner, doyenne des bibliothèques, à la York University, qui assurera la présidence du tout aussi nouveau Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC.

[Cascadia Open Education Summit logo]
Dear Karen Meijer-Kline,
Thank you for submitting a proposal to present at the Cascadia Open Education Summit in Vancouver, B.C., April 17-18, 2019.
The response to our Call for Proposals was very strong (over 70 proposals for 29 slots), and we are grateful to all our colleagues who took the time to submit a proposal.
All proposals have now been reviewed and I am writing to advise you that your proposal was not accepted by the program committee for this event.
Thank you again for taking the time to submit a proposal, and we hope to see you at the Cascadia Open Education Summit.
Event website: https://bccampus.ca/event/cascadia-open-education-summit/<https//bccampus.ca/event/cascadia-open-education-summit/>
Thank you,

Hi All,
I know we are all busy with Open Education Week events at our home institutions but I would like to invite folks to the following event.
Best,
Erin
Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-athon
Date/Time: March 4, 1-4 pm
Location: First Nations Longhouse, UBC-Vancouver Campus
Cost : Free! There will be author readings, refreshments, and door prizes
Register: http://bit.ly/2X2mV0m <https://t.co/C5HVFb3vx4>
In December 2015 Daniel Heath Justice<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Heath_Justice> (author of “Why Indigenous Literature Matters<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Heath_Justice#Why_Indigenous_Literat…>") began a Twitter campaign to share the names of Indigenous writers. The reason for his efforts was to “...push back against the frequent assumptions that our literary history is any less complex, robust, or diverse than that of other peoples.”[1]<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Vancouver/Indigenous_Liter…>
So why a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon?
Wikipedia is a multilingual, web-based, free encyclopedia based on a model of open community generated knowledge. The community driven nature of Wikipedia is meant to support Wikipedia’s goal of providing “…every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.”[2]<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Vancouver/Indigenous_Liter…> However, well documented systematic bias including, information gaps, exclusions, diversity of articles and editors, and assumptions about neutrality and notability greatly impacts the information that can be found in an information source with millions of views per day.
The Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-thon is seeking to improve the coverage of Indigenous writers on Wikipedia and to encourage diverse community editors to actively work to dissuade assumptions about Indigenous literature by raising their profile in this increasingly influential information source.

Hi all,
The PD working group members have a draft of the Cascadia Open Summit proposal available for feedback:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ra-PlH3gkohzhveu6MSq5rhWxnbAuOMHAThoJ3K…
Please feel free to add comments or send them via email. (We're still looking for a title!)
I just saw that the deadline has been extended to February 1, so if you send your feedback by Wednesday 30th I can send it in on the 31st. (I'm away on the 1st)
Also, provided the timing works out re: other sessions you might be presenting in, who would be willing to be a part of this roundtable session?
Cheers,
Karen
Hi everyone,
Something has come up and I can't attend the OER Jumpstart meeting today. Is anyone else attending, either in person in Toronto or virtually? If so, would you mind letting me know what happens in the meeting?
Thanks,
Brenda
