Hi all,
Here is a link to the new BCOEL Steering Committee site, which replaced the wikipage.
https://oet.sandcats.io/shared/1yf6D_rg1gZIz4mYKGFdvC49-55Kh2ZFRSFr4svAgZr
Quick update on what's been done to the site so far:
* Content transferred from old wiki page to new site
* Each wiki page became a new 'post' on a blog style website
* To organize the information more clearly, categories were added to each post (ie. meeting minutes, projects, archives). Each category has a subsequent page in the top menu where relevant posts can be found.
* The posts for 'About BCOEL Steering Committee' and 'Frame of Reference' were pinned to the website's home page to act as a landing page.
Things to consider while viewing the site:
* Each working group has a page that simply lists members. How do working groups want to use their page? (each group can decide for themselves)
* At the moment, the 'projects' page is tagged with all past projects. Some of these posts are also tagged under 'archives'.
o Should any of these posts be tagged under 'resources' instead of 'projects'?
o Or perhaps the final product be added as a resource?
* Do you have other resources you'd like to add to the resources page (PowerPoint presentations, handouts, etc.)?
* Do any of the 'projects'/'resources' need to be updated?
* Are there any posts that should be tagged with a working group?
Review the webpage and send me any updates, comments, questions. Simple updates (ie. punctuation) I can update right away. Organizational suggestions I'll gather together and we can discuss them at the face to face meeting in January.
Thank you everyone for your input.
Cheers,
Darcye

Hi Everyone,
The meeting will be Monday the 26th at 11:30. I haven't heard back from IT re: a Bluejeans link, so it might be via Skype, if I don't hear back.
The agenda:
1. Conference Proposals
2. Wordpress site
3. Planning for face to face meeting.
Have a great weekend and see you then!

Hi all,
Lin and I were chatting via email and thought we should have a BCOEL Steering Committee meeting next week. BCLA's call for proposals ends on December 4th, and the Cascadia Open Education Summit (formerly BC Open Textbook) is also open for proposals. I know it's a busy time for many of us, but hopefully a fair number of us can meet: https://doodle.com/poll/wp2gcdg66iypftwx
Thanks,
Brenda
Hi all,
Just wanted to get feedback from you all re: NFB films in open textbooks - OK to embed or better to just link out?
Thanks,
Brenda

Hi all,
In the BCOEL Steering Committee meeting yesterday, we have decided that we would like to have a full day face-to-face meeting. Location is to be determined. But I've created a Doodle poll to find out when would be the best time to meet. The discussion was that doing it in December or January would probably be best. For me, since I'm the only one coming from out of town (unless Jonas decides he would like to come down from Alaska), having the meeting on a Friday or Monday works best to allow for travel time. So, I've selected some possible dates. Please fill out the poll and let me know what works best for you: https://doodle.com/poll/f52r7nxgtiv8eiti<http://link.e.doodle.com/uni/wf/click?upn=8dNs8i4ZDyStMeI1Sn5r9JSbK59YEKy2D…>.
The date chosen will determine when we will have a November teleconference meeting.
Thanks!
Brenda
