Hi,
See Martin's email below to more details on the classes and workshop he did at UFV (as I mentioned at our last meeting).

Subject: Regrets on BCOER meeting
Debra,
Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the February 28th BCOER meeting, but I will pass along a couple of comments for possible discussion.
1. Wiki deactivation - Too bad, of course, but glad I didn't end up investing a lot of time in converting the OK open education libguide. One thought I had was re-purposing the wiki content into a Pressbooks publication. Everyone probably has some experience with the platform, its use seems to be increasing and therefore likely to be around for a while, and it has a number of export options that could keep the content shareable/resuable (though my memory on the specifics is fuzzy). Wondering what others think?
2. I have two lesson designs, content, and observations from my use that I hope will interest a few people in some 5R collaboration to produce some more polished and useful advocacy and teaching content.
The first is a Creative Commons workshop I did for an internal professional development day. After an overview of CC licenses, participants are given a series of exercises that involve figuring out how differently licensed content can be combined in an OER product, including a hypothetical sample of their own content with their preferred licenses assigned. Some treatment of Traditional Knowledge licenses is also covered.
The second is an attempt to integrate OER advocacy with a library research session for first-year research and writing course (English 105 here at UFV). This is my first stab at one of the goals of a working group (Lin, Shawnna, and I - can't remember how we articulated the goal). The classroom results were pretty good: the discussion resonated with the students and I seem to have persuaded the instructor to consider using OERs.
I am not going to be able to assemble and send out all the materials and further details before next week's meeting - and a lot is still in generally incomprehensible handwritten notes. But hopefully the above descriptions pique some interest.
Anyway, my schedule is opening up a bit in the next couple of months, so I have to get myself back in the BCOER loop.
Thanks.
-Martin

I'm sending this to all because I'm not totally sure who is updating the website.
On this part of the website:
https://bcoel.ca/bcoel-organization-20172018/
The recruitment and external engagement and PD names are still mixed up. I should be listed under PD. I know that we agreed that all members of the steering committee would be on one of these three working groups so other names must also be missing.
Working Groups
Website and Networked Tools
Caroline Daniels, Michel Castagné, Lucas Wright
Recruitment and External Engagement
Hope Power, Martin Warkentin
Professional Development and Advocacy
Debra Flewelling, Brenda Smith
These are the people listed on the steering committee - I don't think these names are all correct.
Steering Committee
* Lin Brander
* Caroline Daniels
* Hope Power
* Brenda Smith
* Martin Warkentin
* Erin Fields
* Karen Meijer-Kline
* Katherine Miller
* Leva Lee
* Lucas Wright

Hi all,
I went to go into the Media Wiki to update a dead link on one of the Guide pages (this one: https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca/index.php/Guide-Find-Open-textbooks), but I couldn't log in. I began to wonder if my password was wrong, so I clicked on the "forgot my password" link. It said that my email address couldn't be found on the server. Any idea what's going on? Have you had the same problem?
Thanks,
Brenda
Hello,
Our next meeting will be on Feb. 28th at 2:30 PM. Please use this link to connect to the meeting - https://bluejeans.com/6045275190
Attached are the minutes from our last meeting (thanks Brenda).
As I was just going to put a link to our BCOEL wikispace, I discovered that they are closing Wikispaces. http://blog.wikispaces.com/
So I guess I will put this on the agenda for our next meeting. However, if you don't have it bookmarked - here is our site - http://bcoerguides.wikispaces.com/
Talk to you on Wednesday, Feb. 28th.

Hi ABC List-Serv,
The University of Waterloo currently has an ad-hoc Open Access committee with membership from the Library, the Bookstore, the Centre for Extended Learning, and the Centre for Teaching Excellence.
We are in the process of formalizing an Open Working Group with a terms of reference and a mission statement.
We would like to learn from other institutions that currently have a formal Open Access working group. If you are willing to share, please provide the following:
1. Name of Institution
2. What is the membership?
3. Do you have a terms of reference? If so, could you share?
4. Comments
Thank you for your time and consideration.

I just realized that this email did not come through to me so it probably didn't reach any of you!
Our BCLA conference session has been approved. I need to finalize edits this week.
We have Rajiv and Amanda confirmed for the panel. We need a librarian on the panel and someone to facilitate the session.
Is anyone interested in these roles (please don't be shy!!) Can you let me know right away if you are interested and send me a speaker biography. Speakers receive a $75 discount coupon for the conference registration.
The session is scheduled for Friday, May 11, 10:30-11:45. The conference is in Richmond this year. https://bclaconnect.ca/conference/
The session:
>From Open Educational Practices to Social Justice: Making the Leap
Open Education is about more than opening resources, it is also about opening pedagogy but what does that mean? What does open education have to do with social justice? Do we believe that education is about leveling the playing field and, at its best, addressing issues of injustice, privilege and exclusion? Are open education practices, at their core, about access, equity, innovation and creativity? If so, how is the open education movement embodying those values?
Join a panel to discuss the broad impact of open educational practices. How are these practices living up to their potential, and how are they failing to do so? Can open education help provide a more equitable future where a multitude of diverse voices are heard and respected? Librarians are key contributors in the open education movement as an extension of their historical roles to provide safe places of learning that are open and available to all; or, is that traditional role a myth? Let's discuss.
Hi again,
It looks like the best time for our January meeting is Monday, Jan.8th 2018 at 11:00 AM. Please mark your calendars. You can connect to the meeting via Blue Jeans with this link - https://bluejeans.com/6045275190
Happy holidays everyone and we'll talk in the new year.
