Update to Open Education Foundation and Sustainability Grants Criteria

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, In light of the financial constraints being faced by B.C.'s post-secondary institutions during the current pandemic, BCcampus has decided to remove the requirement that applicants to the Open Education Foundation Grant for Institutions<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/open-education-foundation-gr…> and the Sustainability Grant for Institutions<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/bccampus-open-education-sust…> must secure matching funds from their institutions equal to the grant total. These grants' calls for proposals have been updated to reflect this change. If an applicant's institution is willing and able to provide in-kind and/or financial contributions to their proposed project, this information should be included on the grant application. Sent on behalf of Lauri Aesoph, Manager, Open Education.

by Lise Brin

Dear CanadOER list members, Some colleagues in the US have asked CARL if we have any knowledge of current or past OER creation or adaptation projects that involve cross-border US-Canada collaboration. They are interested in exploring fair dealing/fair use considerations that such projects would entail. Note that they are meeting next week, so please contact me ASAP with any leads you may have.

Unlike traditional publishing models, where marketing and promotion are completed for authors, engaging in open education activities requires some effort from practitioners in getting the word out there about their resources. This session will introduce you to workflows for making your resource discoverable, collecting impact data, and marketing and promotion processes to showcase the reach of your resources. This session will cover: * Identifying how resource formats and accessibility impact openness * Developing a plan for sharing open educational resources * Developing a plan for gathering data to show impact of your open educational resource * Identify marketing and promotion processes for releasing your open educational resource Presenter: Erin Fields is a librarian focusing on open education supports at the University of British Columbia.

Veuillez noter que ce webinaire se déroulera en anglais, mais que les diapositives seront disponibles en anglais et en français. Contrairement aux modèles d’édition traditionnels, où le marketing et la promotion sont pris en charge pour les auteurs, la participation à des activités d’éducation ouverte exige des efforts de la part des praticiens pour faire connaître leurs ressources. Cette séance portera sur les flux de travail nécessaires pour rendre vos ressources repérables, sur la collecte de données d’impact et sur les processus de marketing et de promotion pour montrer la portée de vos ressources. Cette séance portera sur les sujets suivants : * déterminer comment les formats et l’accessibilité des ressources influent sur l’ouverture * élaborer un plan de partage des ressources éducatives libres * élaborer un plan de collecte de données pour démontrer l’incidence de votre ressource éducative libre * cerner les processus de marketing et de promotion pour la diffusion de votre ressource éducative libre Conférencière : Erin Fields est bibliothécaire à l’University of British Columbia et se concentre sur le soutien à l’éducation ouverte.
