Zero Textbook Cost Pathway to Associate of Science Degree by BCcampus

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, A Zero Textbook Cost pathway to an Associate of Science degree<https://bccampus.ca/projects/open-education/pathway-to-associate-of-science…> is now available, based on existing OER that align with core requirements for Associate of Science programs in B.C. This pathway is designed such that a student could feasibly complete an Associate of Science degree without spending any money on textbooks, as they would only use OER and other free resources. In addition, BCcampus is awarding a grant to Thompson Rivers University so that they may develop their own institution-specific pathway. You can read more about that and the development of BCcampus' pathway in this blog post about the Associate of Science pathway<https://bccampus.ca/2020/07/07/a-pathway-to-open-for-science-programs-in-b-…>.

Marketing Research

by Ross, Heather

Sorry about the cross post. I have a professor who's looking for OER on Marketing Research. I've searched around, but haven't found any, but I'm hoping I've just missed something amazing that somebody else has. 🙂 Heather M.

Hello and Coming Back into the Mix!

by JENNI HAYMAN

Hello Everyone, I’ve been working in the open but under the radar for a little while, but coming back to the critical advocacy work at a time when it seems to be needed most! I have missed visiting with you all and hearing about your work in your provinces and territories. I am extending my connections and practice into the work of UNESCO and emerging working groups advocating for national action on the 2019 OER Recommendation that was ratified by Canada and 191 other nations. I’ll type up a report just after the Open Education for a Better World conference led by the team in Slovenia (Mitja Jermol and Tanja Urbancic) I’m attending and look forward to reconnecting with you and confirming new practices and initiatives that are happening across Canada. Happy Canada Day!

Request to complete a survey about the UNESCO OER recommendations

by Rajiv Jhangiani

Dear colleagues, I am writing to ask that you consider completing a survey from the ICDE OER Advocacy Committee (a group on which I serve). The survey relates to the UNESCO OER Recommendation, adopted 25 November 2019, which includes the following five focus areas i) Build the capacity of stakeholders to find, re-use, create and share OER ii) Develop supportive policy iii) Ensure inclusive and equitable access to quality OER iv) Nurture the creation of sustainability models for OER v) Facilitate international co-operation The mandate of the ICDE OER Advocacy Committee (OERAC)<https://www.icde.org/knowledge-hub/icde-oer-advocacy-committee> is to promote and support the UNESCO Recommendation and implementation across the globe. The general objective for this survey is to map progress in the implementation of the UNESCO OER Recommendation<http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=49556&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION…> globally, in the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The questions have its foundation in the Recommendation but also on the work of the UNESCO OER Dynamic Coalition<https://en.unesco.org/themes/building-knowledge-societies/oer/dynamic-coali…>, in which ICDE takes part (along with Creative Commons, ISKME, Open Education Global, SPARC, the OERu, and many others). We would sincerely appreciate it if you could complete this survey online by July 31, 2020. This survey is by necessity quite detailed and you should plan to spend at least 30-40 minutes for completion. Your responses will help us better understand country implementation efforts, and map progress. You can access the survey here: https://forms.gle/N16zqRcLT4URK1Q4A Thank you very much, Rajiv [logo gif] Rajiv Jhangiani, Ph.D. (pronouns: he/him) Acting Vice Provost, Teaching & Learning & Associate Vice Provost, Open Education Kwantlen Polytechnic University t 604.599.3253 e rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca<mailto:rajiv.jhangiani@kpu.ca> www.kpu.ca/tlcommons<http://www.kpu.ca/tlcommons> | www.kpu.ca/cps<http://www.kpu.ca/cps> | www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Administrative Coordinator: Janice Webster t 604.598.6215 e janice.webster(a)kpu.ca<mailto:janice.webster@kpu.ca> This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

Questions About A Math Open Text

by Ross, Heather

I have an instructor looking to adapt an existing open textbook that is under a CC-BY-NC license, but we can only find it as a PDF. I'm wondering if anyone happens to have or know of a more open version, particularly Pressbooks if possible. See below for details about the book and his question about copyright. Thank you. Hi Heather — I wanted to start a conversation with you about adapting an open textbook for MATH163. I expect you’ll be able to highlight some things to consider as I undertake this project. This is the resource I am planning on adapting: https://openscholarship.wustl.edu/books/10/ . The textbook is released under CC4.0(BY+NC), which, from my understanding gives me licence to transform and build upon the material and then release it under a similar licence. My plan is to use this text as a base to create a custom text for the course. This will mostly consist of pruning the some of the material that my students aren’t prepared for, adding some material, and making minor notational changes throughout. One immediate question/concern that I have is copyright of the .pdf output versus copyright of the .tex source file. The authors are resistant to release their source files to me. (I recognize that they are not obligated to). If I cannot get access to these my plan is to apply for funds from GMC to have a student, essentially, recreate the source files. I worry about possible copyright issues here. Heather M.
