Hi, all.
There is a UFV math faculty member very interested in completing an open textbook on
calculus he started a couple of years ago. We've had a few conversations in the past,
but he has had time constraints, as well as some uncertainties around recombining open
licensed content that I haven't quite been able to alleviate yet. He also has a
different pedagogical approach in mind, and one that he apparently cannot easily work into
the existing BC Campus calculus texts. The details escape me, but it made a lot of sense
to me as someone who never responded well to traditional approaches of teaching math.
So quite some time after starting and outlining from scratch, he has realised it will be
more efficient to complete by incorporating existing content. And I now get the impression
he is looking for some collaboration opportunities with others who have specifically
worked with open math content.
Do any of you know of anyone actively using and revising math content?
Many thanks.

Hi Martin,
I sent our an email to our math faculty that use an open textbook and I'll let you
know if any of them show any interest. However, Rajiv had someone looking for a partner.
Here's Rajiv's email:
Hello everyone,
I recently met with a faculty member at Carleton U who is interested in developing OER and
wants to connect with others in his field who already have.
Do any of you know of any Math faculty on your campuses involved in OER adoption who would
be willing to connect with him? His name is Kevin Cheung and his email address is

Many thanks,

Hi Martin,
Petra Menz from MATH at SFU here has recently been funded for a project through our OER
grants program. It's still in early stages, but here's her contact info if your
UFV faculty contact is interested in reaching out to her:
https://www.sfu.ca/math/people/faculty/petra_menz.html
And here's some info about her proposed project:
"Petra Menz’s project aims to find, adapt and adopt OER materials and integrate them
into existing course materials for MATH 157 and MATH 158. This includes the amalgamation
of course content and study skills exercises, development of online assignments, and
interactive practice problem assignments. These developments will offer social calculus
students three types of high-quality assessment along with cost-free course content that
weaves the learning of reading and studying skills into the material in order to enhance
their mathematical learning experience."
Cheers, Hope

At UBC the graduate students in mathematics, several years ago, put together an open
database of problem sets and answers in the UBC Wiki:
http://wiki.ubc.ca/Science:Math_Exam_Resources
It’s an amazing resource that has replaced most text content in courses. There is a full
list of all the courses that currently are using this tool.
Additionally, there has been a lot of development in our Math department on developing
open texts . The full list can be found here with linked examples (Look at: Appendix:
Sample of Open Textbooks Used at UBC):

I have passed along the link to the article

of the content I have spot checked does not carry open licenses. The general copyright

I have little doubt most contributors would assign an CC license if asked, and in some

It’s an amazing resource that has replaced most text content in courses. There is a full
list of all the courses that currently are using this tool.
Additionally, there has been a lot of development in our Math department on developing
open texts . The full list can be found here with linked examples (Look at: Appendix:
Sample of Open Textbooks Used at UBC):

Hi Martin,
Petra Menz from MATH at SFU here has recently been funded for a project through our OER
grants program. It's still in early stages, but here's her contact info if your
UFV faculty contact is interested in reaching out to her:
https://www.sfu.ca/math/people/faculty/petra_menz.html
And here's some info about her proposed project:
"Petra Menz’s project aims to find, adapt and adopt OER materials and integrate them
into existing course materials for MATH 157 and MATH 158. This includes the amalgamation
of course content and study skills exercises, development of online assignments, and
interactive practice problem assignments. These developments will offer social calculus
students three types of high-quality assessment along with cost-free course content that
weaves the learning of reading and studying skills into the material in order to enhance
their mathematical learning experience."
Cheers, Hope

Hi Martin,
I sent our an email to our math faculty that use an open textbook and I’ll let you know if
any of them show any interest. However, Rajiv had someone looking for a partner. Here’s
Rajiv’s email:
Hello everyone,
I recently met with a faculty member at Carleton U who is interested in developing OER and
wants to connect with others in his field who already have.
Do any of you know of any Math faculty on your campuses involved in OER adoption who would
be willing to connect with him? His name is Kevin Cheung and his email address is
KEVINCHEUNG@CUNET.CARLETON.CA<mailto:KEVINCHEUNG@CUNET.CARLETON.CA>
Many thanks,
Rajiv

Hi, all.
There is a UFV math faculty member very interested in completing an open textbook on
calculus he started a couple of years ago. We’ve had a few conversations in the past, but
he has had time constraints, as well as some uncertainties around recombining open
licensed content that I haven’t quite been able to alleviate yet. He also has a different
pedagogical approach in mind, and one that he apparently cannot easily work into the
existing BC Campus calculus texts. The details escape me, but it made a lot of sense to me
as someone who never responded well to traditional approaches of teaching math.
So quite some time after starting and outlining from scratch, he has realised it will be
more efficient to complete by incorporating existing content. And I now get the impression
he is looking for some collaboration opportunities with others who have specifically
worked with open math content.
Do any of you know of anyone actively using and revising math content?
Many thanks.
-Martin
