Dear colleagues,
Happy mid-way through Open Education Week!
Today, I would like to share an article Andrew McKinney (CUNY) and I published on the work we have been doing relate to OER and tenure and promotion, called "Practitioner Perspectives: The DOERS3 Collaborative on OER in Tenure and Promotion."<https://nebhe.org/journal/practitioner-perspectives-the-doers3-collaborativ…> I hope you find it useful in your advocacy efforts. Feedback welcome!
Thanks,

Dear colleagues,
Open Education Week is fast approaching! To celebrate, BCcampus is hosting an Open Education Challenge Series<https://oechallenge.opened.ca/about-the-open-education-challenge-series/> for educators interested in learning more about open education practices (OEP). From March 1 to March 5, we will release two challenges a day. A challenge is a micro activity that you can do in 10 minutes or less that will introduce a small aspect of open education.
Everyone is welcome to participate, but the challenges are designed for educators who are new to open education. Topics to explore include open licences, open textbooks, and perhaps even open pedagogy! This isn’t a bootcamp or crash course in open education: it’s more of a tasting buffet of appetizers, designed to allow even the most time-constrained educators to participate.
Please share this event with your departments and networks, especially those who are new to open education. Invite your colleagues to participate with you! It’s a great way to learn about OEP together. Here is the event page and where to register: OE Challenge Series 2021<https://bccampus.ca/event/open-education-challenge-series-2021/>
Sincerely,
The Facilitators: Carolee Clyne, Josie Gray, Clint Lalonde, Melanie Meyers, and Krista Lambert
