Hello All,

I'm the keeper of the BCcampus adoption lists. Thus far these lists have not been made public, though we at BCcampus have talked about if this should be done, how the adopting faculty/institutions would feel about it, and what would be the best way to share/display this information (and what would need to be done at our end technically) if this was done.

I do know that some institutions post their adoption information such as Douglas (individual blogs), KPU, Langara, UBC (individual blogs), which I post on these institution's pages in the Post-Secondary Directory. (Let me know if I've missed any.)

I'm happy to participate in this discussion either at a meeting or by listserv.

Subject: [Bcoelsteering] Open Textbooks/OER Adoptions
 
Hi all,

CapU open education faculty fellows are working with their departments (Kinesiology, STEM, Communications, Psychology) to identify potential open educational resources for key courses in their programs. 

Are the lists each of us send to BCcampus for tracking open textbooks publicly available? Has anyone used another institution's list to cross-reference what courses at their institution might use the same resources? Other institution's lists could also help convince departments that are hesitant to using OER, if another BC institution's related faculty are using OER. 

Would anyone be willing to share their list? Do we think these documents have a place on the BCOEL OER Commons group (updated once a year)? Some people cite privacy issues with sharing faculty names, but those could be redacted. 

Interested to hear people's thoughts and if anyone is willing to share their institution's open resources tracking documents. If people are already doing this, even better!

Cheers,
Darcye
