Importing Epubs into Pressbooks

by Canada Open Education Resources

Hey OER list, I'm hoping for some advice, although I think it's likely that the answer to my question is that there's something weird going on in the conversion process that only the folks with access to the source files can fix. I've been working with a group on campus who has created cookbooks in PDF and fixed layout epub format, and they would like to get the books into Pressbooks. They hired a designer for the pdf and epub on a contract, and that person is no longer working with them. The source files they have are nicely laid out with lots of pictures. We can import the epub into Pressbooks, but whenever we do it gets super junky (example<https://books.lib.uoguelph.ca/plantbasedproteins/chapter/plant-based_easy_p…>), while the pdf looks like this<https://guelphfamilyhealthstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Plant-Based-…> (page 31). It's definitely possible it could be the fault of Pressbooks, but I also took a look at the epub files and when I open them in Digital Editions they also have issues, though the issues are mostly to do with fonts, and are not visible in Books on a mac. Does anyone have any advice for troubleshooting / still getting this content into Pressbooks, or is it a bit of a lost cause? Best wishes, Jordan Jordan Pedersen (she/her) | Research and Scholarship Librarian McLaughlin Library | University of Guelph 50 Stone Rd E | Guelph, ON | N1G 2W1 https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4548-9957

Please email me at mchim(a)excelsior.edu with any questions. About the book: Open pedagogy promotes students as active creators of information, rather than passive consumers of it. It relies on the use and creation of Open Educational Resources (OER). In place of “throw away” assignments, open pedagogy allows students to engage with meaningful and relevant assignments that will be preserved for future audiences. These assignments can elevate student participation and give students valuable skills to take with them to the workforce. This edited volume contains lesson plans, resources, and inspiration from librarians who have successfully implemented open pedagogy at their institutions. Whether your campus is just beginning its open education journey or has multiple OER champions, this book is for you! Call for Chapter Proposals: Proposals are invited from librarians who champion open pedagogy at their institutions in various ways. Final chapters/recipes need to thoroughly describe a replicable lesson plan or activity and are typically between 1,000 and 2,500 words. The book is tentatively organized in four parts, each dealing with a different aspect of open pedagogy: 1) Library instruction, 2) Technology, 3) Open Licensing, and 4) Resources & Sustainability. This section list is tentative so please do not feel limited in your creativity! Part I Rolling up your sleeves: Library instruction This section will focus on chapters that talk about using open pedagogy in library instruction. These can include one shot presentations, semester long library projects, and more! Same topics can include: Posting to Wikipedia Social annotation assignments Video series Creating a glossary Part II A lid for every pot: Technology This section will focus on technology related to open pedagogy assignments. Chapters may focus on any technology used and its implications for open pedagogy as a whole. Sample topics can include: Using Pressbooks/LibreText/Manifold/other publishing platforms Using Hypothesis Using Padlet Using Generative AI and LLMs(ex. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc) Accessibility Part III Potluck: Open Licensing This section invites chapters on any aspects of Open Licensing, including Creative Commons. Sample topics can include: Choosing a Creative Commons License Rights Reversal Other licensing options (such as in science publishing) Part IV Taste testing: Sharing Resources and sustainability This section will focus on sharing open pedagogy works and how to keep your initiatives sustainable. Sample topics can include: Partnering with your library publishing platform Utilizing your Institutional Repository Student privacy and open pedagogy Making your assignments sustainable Preserving your work (ex: migrating platforms, changing jobs, etc) Evaluation criteria: Chapter proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria, as listed in the rubric here: https://excelsior.libwizard.com/f/rubric - Relevance - Uniqueness - Implementation Proposal instructions: Please submit your proposals using the online form by May 2, 2025: https://excelsior.libwizard.com/f/openpedagogy . The proposal should include all contributing authors, a contact email for the main author, a working title, what part you envision your chapter in, 3-5 keywords describing your proposed topic, and a summary of your lesson plan or learning activity. Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 30th, 2025. Publication is anticipated in 2027. Please email Melissa Chim at mchim(a)excelsior.edu with any questions! About the editor: Melissa Chim is the first Scholarly Communications Librarian at Excelsior University where she both created and manages the university’s scholarly publishing platform and institutional repository. She holds an MLIS from St. John’s University and an MA in History from Queen Mary, the University of London, and hold certificates in open education and Creative Commons licensing.

Open Education Week - Online Presentation: Dr. Cable Green "Shifting to Community Owned and Operated Open Knowledge"

by Canada Open Education Resources

[cid:b0558721-b7a0-45b2-b1d4-937c9f8d3e86] What are your plans for Open Education Week? (March 3 - 7, 2025) Join us for a special online presentation by Dr. Cable Green, Director of Open Knowledge at Creative Commons. Title: Shifting to Community Owned and Operated Open Knowledge Date: Monday, March 3, 2025 Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm (SaskTime/ CST) Register: https://uregina.libcal.com/event/3844645 Abstract: If we are going to solve the world’s most pressing challenges (e.g., climate change), the knowledge about those challenges must be open. This talk will explore what open knowledge structures society might need to ensure the knowledge components necessary for education and science – both critical elements in solving global challenges – are open by default. Open Education and Open Science both require significant, stable public funding. Both education and science are public goods and the production, reuse and revisions of education and science resources should be publicly funded and openly licensed to ensure educational opportunities for all. What might “Community Owned and Operated Open Education” look like? What are the barriers and the opportunities? What if funding currently spent on expensive commercial educational resources were redirected to support the creation, stewardship and sharing of effective OER in every discipline, in every grade level in multiple languages? What if we redirected existing public funding to create a sustained shared open learning infrastructure for the public good? Shuana Niessen, M.Ed.

Open textbook for Developmental Psychology - conception to puberty

by Canada Open Education Resources

Hello, Apologies for cross posting. I have a faculty member who is looking for a new textbook for her Child Development 3rd year Psychology class. She has reviewed a number of open textbooks, and so far, she has found one textbook that is very promising: Understanding the Whole Child: Growth and Development Conception Through Adolescence<https://pressbooks.pub/scchildgrowthanddevelopment/> However, she would still be interested if anyone has a favourite or one that they would really recommend for this course. Here is a brief course description: This course provides an introduction to the process of development from conception to puberty. The major focuses are on developmental theory, descriptive changes in physical growth, cognition, language, social and emotional behaviour of children and applications of the research and theory. Learning Goals: At the conclusion of the course the student will be able to: 1. Describe the research methods associated with child development. 2. Explain the significance of heredity and environment on the developing child. 3. Describe the factors associated with physical development, prenatally through to puberty. 4. Describe the processes of cognitive development throughout childhood. 5. Describe the socio-emotional changes experienced by the infant through to puberty. 6. Explain how child developmental research can be applied to real life situations. 7. Explain contemporary issues in child development such as child abuse, attention-deficit disorder, special needs, and the role of television and video games. Thanks so much for any suggestion of an open textbook you think would be particularly suitable.

UBC Open Access Week - Sessions Open to All

by Canada Open Education Resources

[https://open-2021.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2024/09/OAWeek_BannerGeneric-1536x…] Open Access Week is an an international event whose goal is to highlight how open scholarship can help people meet their goals in research, scholarly publishing, teaching and learning. Each year, as part of Open Access Week, UBC showcases diverse events highlighting areas of open scholarship that UBC’s faculty, students and staff participate in as well as guests from local and global community. This year’s events will explore the evolving role of generative AI<https://genai.ubc.ca/> in open scholarship, addressing its potential benefits and challenges, including ethical considerations related to Indigenous knowledge, the impacts on institutional barriers, and strategies for responsible use. All of these events are FREE and open to the public, students, faculty, staff and schools. The Influence of AI on Academic Publishing Date: Monday, October 21, 2024 Time: 11:00am – 12:00pm Location: Online Join us for a discussion with Taylor & Francis VP External Affairs and Policy, Priya Madina, on AI and academic publishing. This session will provide an overview of AI and opportunities and challenges of utilising AI, illustrated by academic publisher use cases of AI. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer period. This session will be recorded an made available in UBC’s institional repository, cIRcle<http://circle.ubc.ca/>. Presenter * Priya Madina , Vice President, External Affairs and Policy, Taylor & Francis Priya joined Taylor & Francis in December 2019. She has extensive experience in developing and positioning global policies with relevant stakeholders and decision-makers. Priya sits on the company’s Race and Ethnicity Network, the Publishers Association’s Academic Publishers Council and chairs STM’s Open Research Committee.

Her global and regional experience includes working in the Philippines, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium and France. Priya has a Masters in Classics and Modern Languages from Oxford University. She speaks English and French and has good knowledge of Hindi and Spanish. Register<https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/event/3839450> “Stop Generating”: Generative AI in the Contexts of Indigenous Studies Date: Thursday, October 24, 2024 Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm Location: Online Generative AI has forced universities to contend with complex ethical and social questions—namely because writing is so deeply entrenched as an institutional gatekeeping. For many students, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds or for whom English is not a first language, the pressure to translate ideas into “proper” English contributes to attrition rates and exacerbates feelings of inadequacy, alienation, and exclusion from many academic communities. From an equity and inclusion perspective, AI has the potential to disrupt institutional barriers by offering accessible tools that level the grammatical playing field. By functioning as virtual tutors or co-writers, AI systems can assist students in producing more polished and coherent prose, thus challenging the traditional hierarchies that privilege certain grammatical and stylistic norms. Instead of attempting to ban these tools (which is, to say the least, impractical), I side with a growing number of technology scholars who argue that we should focus on teaching students how to use generative AI responsibly and effectively. However, I do so with the caveat that teaching responsible AI use means critically engaging the complex and often messy processes that make AI what it is. In this presentation, I draw from Indigenous theorists and authors to situate generative AI and large language models (LLMs) within a long colonial history of extraction. Just as colonial states declare Indigenous lands terra nullius, allowing settlers to exploit resources through mining, clear-cutting, and other forms of extraction, generative AI similarly depends on the unchecked extraction of data, including Indigenous knowledge and cultural resources, often without consent. The late Gregory Younging refers to this process as gnaritas nullius, the colonial rendering of Indigenous knowledge into public property. The unchecked extraction of writing, including, but not limited to, Indigenous knowledge, represents a new frontier for colonial capitalism, where cultural and intellectual property are commodified by those with the most access and power. As Nando de Freitas notes, the future of AI development depends on scale: those who control the largest datasets will have the greatest advantage and profit the most from AI. The numerous high-profile copyright cases against companies like OpenAI and Meta show that how this data is collected is treated as a secondary issue. This unbridled, dehumanizing race for data mirrors the extractive practices that have driven capitalist-colonial expansion for centuries. Building on these ideas, I mobilize the insights of Indigenous authors like Younging, Scott Lyons, and Cherie Dimaline to highlight strategies for resisting colonial extraction and challenging capitalist systems through rhetorical sovereignty and the concept of incommensurability. The goal is not to discourage the use of generative AI but, in the Faustian sense, to reveal the costs of embracing it, especially when it is employed to subvert oppressive institutional structures.

Federal Pre-Budget Consultation (2025) - Briefs Due Aug 2

by Canada Open Education Resources

Hi Everyone, The House of Commons Finance Committee (FINA) has announced its regular pre-budget consultation (for 2025). Link: https://www.ourcommons.ca/committees/en/FINA/StudyActivity?studyActivityId=… In that regard, perhaps there could be some sort of coordinated approach - either we could aim to have groups and individuals agree on a common ask (perhaps based on the advocacy work to date/the National Framework <https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/A-National-Advocacy-Fra…>), or alternatively we could develop a document that would allow anyone to sign on and then try to get as many signatories as possible. I recognize coordinating over July is a bit of a mess (especially with the brief due right before a long weekend). Michael

Announcing the Recipients of the 2024 AtlanticOER Development Grants

by Canada Open Education Resources

[Image] [Image] [Image] CAAL-CBPA Strategic Plan: Goal 6.3 Administer an OER Development Grants Program for educators in the region. The Council of Atlantic Academic Libraries (CAAL)<https://caul-cbua.ca/> is delighted to announce the recipients of this year’s AtlanticOER Development Grants<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/grants/>. These grants are intended to support educators in the Atlantic Region in the adaptation, adoption, creation, and curation of open educational resources (OER), and to increase access to course materials for students. With funding from the Council of Atlantic Ministers for Education and Training (CAMET), the AtlanticOER Development Grant Program expanded this year. A new tiered system of funding was introduced to better support textbook creation (up to $7,000), adaptation (up to $3,500), and ancillary material creation projects (up to $1,000). The grants aim to support educators from provincially funded post-secondary institutions in achieving the following objectives: * Support the creation or adaptation of open textbooks and ancillary materials, such as PowerPoint slides, quiz banks, images, and other digital study or interactive aids; * Create a variety of OERs developed for use by educators and students in credit-bearing courses; * Establish supportive events for the development of content for OERs, such as sprints (a collaborative in-person or virtual event to create or adapt an open textbook or ancillary resources); or * Distribute funds to maximize direct benefit to a wide range of student learners and inquiry across a diversity of disciplines. The 2024 Development Grant recipients<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/2024/07/10/2024-recipients-of-the-atla…> are: Dr. Cynthia Alexander, Department of Politics, Acadia University [ATxaAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC] Tier: Creation Grant Project: The goal of this project is to create an interdisciplinary textbook that centers a decolonizing approach to public policy, amplifying Indigenous experts’ policy approaches and priorities.

[caal] CAAL Staff Update / Mise à jour concernant le personnel du CBPA

by Canada Open Education Resources

[A close-up of blue text Description automatically generated] Le français suit [A person smiling at camera Description automatically generated]I am delighted to share that as of April 1st, Alexandra Marcaccio has been extended in her role as AtlanticOER Lead, with expanded responsibilities, through to March 31, 2027. Since joining CAAL in September 2023, Alexandra has shown exceptional leadership in advancing the AtlanticOER Service as a valued member of the CAAL Team. During her tenure, she helped immensely in securing provincial funding for the Service, developed an assessment framework to inform success, increased capacity, and streamlined the Service. She also lead a user-centric process reviewing our current website and intranet against user and organizational needs, with a final report with recommendations to the Board for CAAL’s future website and intranet. I am very pleased to recognize the impact of her work through this expanded and enhanced role. Alexandra’s new role will see her continued leadership of the AtlanticOER Service, with operational responsibilities to include: * Coordinating the daily operations of the AtlanticOER Service; * Developing and implementing metadata strategies; * Digital curation of content; * OER development and promotion; * Development Grant program administration; * Peer review honoraria program administration; and * Managing a robust assessment framework for the Service to ensure accountability and transparency. Additionally, Alexandra will represent CAAL-CBPA as delegated in regional and national OER discussions and activities. Prior to joining CAAL, served as the OER Librarian at the University of Guelph where she led the library's Open and Affordable Course Content Task Force. She has previously worked as the Collections Analysis Intern at Memorial University Libraries and the Online Accessibility Intern at Western Libraries. In her role as OER Librarian, Alexandra lead a curriculum mapping project that sought to understand the trends in course materials and collaborated on an open pedagogy project where students worked to create a new learning resource. She presented on both projects at the 2023 Open Education Conference. This position reflects an expansion and evolution in Alexandra’s responsibilities and recognizes the value that she brings to CAAL-CBPA and AtlanticOER. I look forward to continuing to work with her in this expanded capacity. Alexandra can be reached at her new email address, atlanticoerlead(a)caul-cbua.ca<mailto:atlanticoerlead@caul-cbua.ca>, with her previous CAAL email address forwarding to this new address. Please join me in congratulating Alexandra on her extension and expanded role! Sincerely, Cynthia [A person smiling at camera Description automatically generated] J’ai le plaisir de vous annoncer qu’en date du 1 avril, Alexandra Marcaccio a été reconduite dans ses fonctions de responsable RELAtlantique, avec des responsabilités élargies, jusqu’au 31 mars 2027. Depuis qu’elle s’est jointe à CBPA en septembre 2023, Alexandra a fait preuve d’un leadership exceptionnel en faisant progresser le Service AtlanticOER en tant que membre estimé de l’équipe CBPA. Au cours de son mandat, elle a grandement aidé à obtenir du financement provincial pour le Service, a élaboré un cadre d’évaluation pour éclairer la réussite, a accru la capacité et a simplifié le Service. Elle dirige également un processus axé sur l’utilisateur qui consiste à examiner notre site Web et notre intranet actuels par rapport aux besoins des utilisateurs et de l’organisation, et à rédiger un rapport final contenant des recommandations à l’intention du Conseil d’administration pour le futur site Web et l’intranet du CBPA. Je suis très heureux de reconnaître l’impact de son travail dans le cadre de ce rôle élargi et amélioré. Dans le cadre de ses nouvelles fonctions, Alexandra continuera de diriger le service AtlanticOER, dont les responsabilités opérationnelles comprennent : * Coordonner les opérations quotidiennes du service RELAtlantique ; * élaborer et mettre en œuvre des stratégies relatives aux métadonnées ; * la conservation numérique du contenu ; * le développement et la promotion des REL ; * l’administration du programme de subventions de développement ; * l’administration du programme d’honoraires par les pairs ; et * Gérer un cadre d’évaluation solide pour le Service afin d’assurer la responsabilisation et la transparence. De plus, Alexandra représentera le CBPA tel que délégué dans les discussions et les activités régionales et nationales sur les RÉL. Avant de se joindre au CBPA, elle a été bibliothécaire des RÉL à l’University of Guelph, où elle a dirigé le groupe de travail sur le contenu des cours ouverts et abordables de la bibliothèque. Auparavant, elle a travaillé comme stagiaire en analyse des collections aux bibliothèques de la Memorial University et stagiaire en accessibilité en ligne aux bibliothèques de l’Ouest. Dans son rôle de bibliothécaire des RÉL, Alexandra a dirigé un projet de cartographie des programmes d’études visant à comprendre les tendances dans les documents de cours et a collaboré à un projet de pédagogie ouverte dans le cadre duquel les étudiants ont travaillé à la création d’une nouvelle ressource d’apprentissage. Elle a présenté les deux projets à la Conférence sur l’éducation ouverte de 2023. Ce poste reflète une expansion et une évolution des responsabilités d’Alexandra et reconnaît la valeur qu’elle apporte à CBPA et à RELAtlantique. Je me réjouis à l’idée de continuer à travailler avec elle dans le cadre de ce mandat élargi. Vous pouvez communiquer avec Alexandra à sa nouvelle adresse électronique, atlanticoerlead(a)caul-cbua.ca<mailto:atlanticoerlead@caul-cbua.ca>, en lui transmettant son adresse de courriel précédente CBPA. En votre nom à tous, je félicite Alexandra pour sa prolongation et son rôle élargi!

OER Regional Funding Announcement / Annonce de financement régional pour les RÉL

by Canada Open Education Resources

Le français suit [cid:image001.jpg@01DA7159.E9A5DBC0] [Chart Description automatically generated] CAAL Strategic Plan: Strategy 6.0 Advance awareness and adoption of Open Educational Resources (OERs) in the Atlantic Region. The Council of Atlantic Academic Libraries (CAAL)<https://caul-cbua.ca/about-caalcbpa>1 is pleased to announce that the governments of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island will provide funding for the next three years in support of AtlanticOER<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/>. AtlanticOER<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/> is a service developed and led by CAAL that supports the hosting and creation of open educational resources (OERs) 2, such as quality open (free) textbooks and other course materials, by educators in the region. These open textbooks have already saved students in the region almost $900,000 in textbook costs. AtlanticOER includes: * A digital publishing platform (Pressbooks), as a place to create and house OERs; * A staff position, the AtlanticOER Lead, that already provides a pivotal leadership role in advancing the Service and OERs in the Region; and * AtlanticOER Development Grants for faculty and instructors to encourage and support educators in the Atlantic Region in the adaptation, adoption, creation, and curation of OERs, and to improve access to course materials for students. This initiative has been a long time in the making. It was developed through the hard work and commitment of librarians, faculty, and staff at post-secondary institutions in the region in partnership with dedicated student advocacy organizations such as StudentsNS. A more formal announcement will follow once details are finalized. Sincerely, Cynthia 1 CAAL is a vibrant regional network of Atlantic Canada’s public university and college libraries leveraging community and collaboration to advance scholarship, innovation, diversity, and accessibility in teaching, learning, research, and student experiences. 2 The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) defines OERs as “free to use and openly licensed teaching and learning materials." As stated by leading open education proponent David Wiley, “‘open content’ describes a copyrightable work that is licensed in a way that ‘provides users with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities which are retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute.” [cid:image003.jpg@01DA715C.2F532900] [A picture containing chart Description automatically generated] Plan stratégique du CBPA : Stratégie 6.0 Faire progresser la sensibilisation et l’adoption des ressources éducatives libres (REL) dans la région de l’Atlantique. Le Conseil des bibliothèques postsecondaires de l’Atlantique (CBPA) 1 est heureux d’annoncer que les gouvernements de la Nouvelle-Écosse, de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, du Nouveau-Brunswick et de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard fourniront un financement pour les trois prochaines années à l’appui de l’initiative RELAtlantique. RELAtlantique est un service développé et dirigé par CBPA qui soutient l’hébergement et la création de ressources éducatives libres (REL)2, telles que des manuels de qualité ouverts (gratuits) et d’autres matériels de cours, par des éducateurs de la région. Ces manuels libres ont déjà permis aux étudiants de la région d’économiser près de 900 000 $ en coûts de manuels. RELAtlantique comprend : * Une plateforme de publication numérique (Pressbooks), comme lieu de création et d’hébergement des REL ; * Un poste d’employé, le responsable RELAtlantique, qui joue déjà un rôle de premier plan dans l’avancement du service et des REL dans la région ; et * Subventions de développement des RELAtlantique pour les enseignants et les formateurs et formatrices afin d’encourager et d’appuyer les éducateurs de la région de l’Atlantique dans l’adaptation, l’adoption, la création et la conservation des REL, et d’améliorer l’accès aux documents de cours pour les étudiants. Cette initiative a pris beaucoup de temps. Il a été élaboré grâce au travail acharné et à l’engagement des bibliothécaires, du corps professoral et du personnel des établissements postsecondaires de la région, en partenariat avec des organismes voués à la défense des intérêts des étudiants comme StudentsNS. Une annonce plus officielle suivra une fois que les détails seront finalisés. Cordialement, Cynthia 1 CBPA est un réseau régional dynamique de bibliothèques universitaires et collégiales publiques du Canada atlantique qui mise sur la communauté et la collaboration pour faire progresser les bourses d’études, l’innovation, la diversité et l’accessibilité dans l’enseignement, l’apprentissage, la recherche et les expériences étudiantes. 2 L’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada (ABRC) définit les REL comme « l’utilisation gratuite et ouverte de matériel d’enseignement et d’apprentissage ». Comme l’a déclaré David Wiley, le principal promoteur de l’éducation ouverte, le « contenu ouvert » décrit une œuvre protégée par le droit d’auteur qui fait l’objet d’une licence d’une manière qui « donne aux utilisateurs la permission gratuite et perpétuelle de participer aux activités 5R qui sont de conserver, de réutiliser, de réviser, de remix et de redistribuer ».

Code of Best Practices in Fair Dealing for Open Educational Resources/Code de bonnes pratiques en matière d'utilisation équitable des ressources éducatives libres

by Canada Open Education Resources

Hello, We are pleased to share our Code of Best Practices in Fair Dealing for Open Educational Resources <https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/CARL_Code_Best_Practice…> with you. The Canadian Code was adapted from its U.S. counterpart, the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Open Educational Resources <https://cmsimpact.org/code/open-educational-resources/#Code-of-Best-Practic…>, and provides a legal and practical exploration of fair dealing in the context of Open Educational Resource (OER) creation in Canada. While the Code is not legal advice it provides a legally defensible and judicious model for the application of the fair dealing exception when incorporating third-party copyrighted content into OER. It details the relevant Canadian legislative and legal context and supplies practical examples. We hope that your institutions and organizations will utilize this resource and that you will share it with colleagues who may not be on this list-serv. We would like to acknowledge the authors of the U.S. Code and those within our Canadian intellectual property scholars, copyright and open education communities who contributed in a variety of ways to this work. For more information on this and other Codes, register for the Fair Dealing Week webinar, *Leveraging Best Practices: Using the CARL Copyright Codes of Best Practice in Your Library.* Date: Wednesday February 28, 2024 Time: 1:00pm - 2:30pm ET Registration required <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_n9I5-eoyQO-Vp0eBi9P7nw> Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Working Group: Rowena Johnson (University of Calgary and Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Visiting Program Officer (VPO) Digital Access), Stephanie Savage (University of British Columbia), Heather Martin (University of Guelph), Josh Dickison (University of New Brunswick) and Ann Ludbrook (Toronto Metropolitan University and CARL VPO Open Education) Sent on behalf of Rowena Wake —----------------------------- C’est avec grand plaisir que nous vous présentons le Code de bonnes pratiques en matière d'utilisation équitable des ressources éducatives libres <https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/ABRC_Code_Bonne_Practiq…> . Le code canadien, adapté de son équivalent américain, le Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Open Educational Resources <https://cmsimpact.org/code/open-educational-resources/#Code-of-Best-Practic…>, traite de l'application juridique et pratique de l'utilisation équitable dans le contexte de la création de ressources éducatives libres (REL) au Canada. Bien que le code ne constitue pas un avis juridique, il fournit un modèle raisonné et juridiquement défendable pour l'application de l'exception concernant l'utilisation équitable lors de la transposition dans les REL de contenus de tiers protégés par le droit d'auteur. Le code précise le contexte législatif et juridique canadien et fournit des exemples pratiques pertinents. Nous espérons que vos établissements et organisations utiliseront cette ressource et que vous la partagerez avec des collègues qui ne sont peut-être pas inscrits sur cette liste de diffusion.

New Audiobook OER: Developing Organizational and Managerial Wisdom – 2nd Edition

by Canada Open Education Resources

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share the following new resource: Developing Organizational and Managerial Wisdom – 2nd Edition (Audio plus text version)<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/developingwisdomaudiobook/> by Brad Anderson, an audiobook version of an existing OER. This Pressbook embeds audio recordings in each chapter, provides a playlist of all recordings for uninterrupted listening, and provides links to download the audio files. Here’s what Brad had to say about this project: Over the past year, I have realized that most of our students have accessibility issues. Many people’s first reaction to that is doubt, but that, I believe, is because many people still view accessibility through a physical disability lens. The student working thirty hours a week who must cross two bridges in rush-hour traffic to get to campus has an accessibility issue. So does the student renting a bed in a house with half a dozen roommates and no dedicated workspace, a student caring for a sick family member, one with mental health challenges, or … you get the picture. How many barriers might we remove if we made an audio version of textbooks available they could listen to while stuck in traffic? Universal design for learning (UDL) is about giving students options in accessing course material, empowering them to fit learning into the unique considerations of their lives. A couple of years ago, I created this OER textbook under a Creative Commons licence to reduce barriers to learning. Creating an audio version of that text is a continuation of that effort to reduce barriers. While there were many challenges associated with developing this audiobook, with some creative thinking and advice from one of KPU’s Educational Media Strategists, we were able to overcome them. Going forward, I am excited to encourage other OER authors to consider creating an audiobook versions, as well as streamlining and improving the process. Cheers, Amanda [logo gif] Amanda Grey (she/her) Open Education Strategist, Teaching & Learning Commons t 605-599-3345 e amanda.grey(a)kpu.ca w www.kpu.ca/open Through active intentional partnering, the Teaching & Learning Commons provides pedagogical leadership that is grounded in community, ethics, creativity, and care.

New OER: Lorrain's Logbook

by Canada Open Education Resources

Hi everyone! (apologies for cross posting!) We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Lorrain's Logbook: Notes from a Missionary in Mizoram, Northeast India (1891-1936) Edited by Kyle Jackson; Natasha McConnell; and Nick Gill Lorrain’s Logbook: Notes from a Missionary in Mizoram, Northeast India (1891-1936) expands the archive for students of Northeast India. Authored by James Herbert Lorrain (Pu Buanga)—one of the most significant missionaries and linguists to operate in the colonial Indo-Burma borderlands—the Logbook is a record of personal observations across decades, from Lorrain’s arrival in Bengal in 1890 to his departure in 1932 from the Lushai Hills District (today: Mizoram). This entirely new digital transcription and text-searchable online educational resource (OER) unlocks a vital archival source for researchers of imperial frontiers, Asian borderlands, missionization, Mizo history, and beyond. It features an introduction co-authored by Dr. Kyle Jackson (Kwantlen Polytechnic University) and Prof. Joy L. K. Pachuau (Jawaharlal Nehru University).

ND License Question

by Canada Open Education Resources

Hello. We had a book created here at USask several years ago, and the author unfortunately chose to A) put an ND license on it and B) let the media production team build it in iBooks. The author has since retired and the instructor who teaches the class now says that students often have trouble finding the book and would like to put it into Pressbooks. Is this allowed under and ND license? Thank you. Heather M.

Can Open Pedagogy Encourage Care? Student Perspectives

by Amanda Grey

Hello! I want to share this new article that was recently published by KPU faculty member Deirdre Maultsaid and TRU faculty member Michelle Harrison. This publication is the result of Deirdre’s year working with us as an Open Education Research Fellow and explores student perspectives on Open Pedagogy. Can Open Pedagogy Encourage Care? Student Perspectives<https://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/6901> Abstract: As a response to the increasing commercialization of postsecondary education, educators argue for a practice of care in education. Open pedagogy (OP) seems like an ideal practice where care, trust, and inclusion can be realized. OP is characterized as a democratic and collaborative pedagogical practice, in which students and teachers work to co-create learning and knowledge using openly licensed materials, open platforms, and other open processes. The purposes of this study were, first, to reveal ways students in postsecondary institutions perceive care and, second, to determine how students suggest OP can be used to create an open/caring learning process. A task-oriented focus group method engaged students from four teaching-focused institutions. The students created open cases on social issues for class discussion and reflected on care and OP processes in postsecondary settings. Using four elements of the ethics of care—attentiveness, responsibility, competence, and trustworthiness—as conceptual categories, the study examined students’ experience of care and care in OP using affective coding and thematic analysis. The results showed that through OP, with teacher support and explicitly designed practices of care, students can assert their agency, have quintessential roles in creating and participating in highly relevant curriculum and importantly, care about others, and be cared for. OP is a process able to involve a diverse population of students and embody care as an all-encompassing practice.

Summary of results: Estimating time needed to create and maintain OER textbooks

by Jessica Norman

Thanks to Rich Hershman, Shauna Roch, and Justine Munds for sending information on this topic. Summary of Results Fanshawe College: “In the colleges we compensate full-time faculty through a course release and part time faculty through a curriculum development contract to the equivalent of the FT folks. This works out to about 6 hrs a week for a 14-week semester and 12 hrs during the condensed 7-week summer term. We provide all the support, and the faculty member is responsible for the content. We take an agile approach where the faculty is delivering one chapter per week, and we are building in pressbooks right behind them.” https://fanshawec.libguides.com/c.php?g=724582&p=5205170 Clackamas Community College: The college has developed a chart<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O5pnfB0Y-SVJQnjle-qIvV6D-6cbW6gfP1zWzeI…> that summarizes the number of hours per week for different types of OER projects. Hours range from 1-3 hours/week for 1 term to adopt an OER, up to 6-9 hours/week for 3 terms to author a completely new OER.

New OER: Stitched - sewing techniques, how-to, and more

by Amanda Grey

Hi everyone! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Stitched sewing techniques, how-to, and more By: Heather Clark and Catherine Hay [cid:image001.jpg@01D9E7B7.0B888CB0] Within the fashion, sewing, and textile classrooms it is a challenge to find a textbook on the topic of sewing that covers the range of skills and techniques taught within these learning spaces. Typically to supplement student learning, handouts will be utilized along with in-class, and in-person demos. The open-source and online format of this OER will enable educators to continually update the resource to meet current student needs, learning outcomes, and reflect best practices within the apparel and fashion industry. Content in this OER supports skills and knowledge learned within the classroom while providing supportive resources for learners. This open-source learning resource contains details and step-by-step instructions, supported with images, videos, and text. This resource will be continually worked on, with videos, text, and information being added. The vision for this resource is to provide learning resources to the sewing community – an array of learners, with multiple ways of ‘how-to’.

Estimating time needed to create and maintain OER textbooks

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, This message is cross-posted. I've had a request to provide estimates for the number of faculty hours that are required for both creation of a new OER textbook and ongoing maintenance of an existing work. This information will be used to develop budget numbers for offloads. I know the hours can vary greatly based on topic, technology, and format! But, I believe I have seen grant programs that include an assumption of the number of hours funded. Any information about how you estimate the amount of time allocated for large projects would be appreciated, especially in the area of business. Thanks in advance!

Arising from a need to move beyond disposable assignments (Wiley, 2013) and also in recognition of the Association of College and Research Libraries’ *Framework for Information Literacy* *for Higher Education* (ACRL, 2016), the book demonstrates the role students can play as contributors to scholarly discussions and resources. *Contemporary Issues in Collection Management* had its genesis in the in person class LIS 531 Collection Management from the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta in the Fall 2022 semester. While the Collections Management class served as the spring board for the book, all of the authors here have had to contribute their own voluntary labour outside of the classroom to further developing their work for *CIiCM*.

Fwd: Call for fellows (update, Canadian applications encouraged!)

by Verena Roberts

I apologize for any cross-posting. Please share this information about open fellowship opportunities. This is an exciting opportunity for US and Canadian Open Educators ! Verena Roberts ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Clinton-Lisell, Virginia <virginia.clinton(a)und.edu> Date: Tue, May 2, 2023 at 9:20 AM Subject: Call for fellows (update, Canadian applications encouraged!) To: oer-research-fellows(a)googlegroups.com < oer-research-fellows(a)googlegroups.com> We are seeking applicants for the next cohort! I would really appreciate it if you would share the call for applications below in your professional networks. The Open Education Group thanks to generous support from the Hewlett foundation is seeking to support early career researchers to conduct studies in open education (what is open education, click here <https://sparcopen.org/open-education/>) through the open education research fellowship. The purpose is to support education professionals to develop their open education scholarship ideas into published works. Specifically, this fellowship seeks to provide mentorship, community, and some financial support to carry out their ideas in open education research. Financial support includes attendance at the Open Education Conference in 2023 (November 7-9, virtual) and 2024 (in person in the United States, TBD). The fellowship will also pay for article processing charges to allow for publications developed in this fellowship to be publicly available (around $3,000). In addition, fellows will receive a stipend of $1200 per article submitted prior to January 15, 2025, based on their fellowship work. Applications will be assessed based on its potential contribution to open education, feasibility, and novelty. In the application, prospective fellows will be asked to explain how your proposed research project would be relevant to diversity, inclusion, equity, and access to education. Applicants should have some prior research training and will be asked to list their previous research coursework. For the purpose of this fellowship, the following groups are considered early career researchers: doctoral graduate student (PhD, EdD, PsyD, DSW, DNP, DBA), postdoctoral researchers, pre-tenure faculty, teaching-track/clinical faculty (including librarians), and faculty at teaching-intensive institutions (liberal arts, community colleges, regional institutions, etc.), K-12 administrators and teachers, and public education employees. Full or part time status applicants are eligible. Tenured faculty at research institutions (R1 or R2) would generally not be considered early career researchers. Please feel free to contact Virginia Clinton-Lisell with questions about eligibility at virginia.clinton(a)und.edu. Note, due to legal reasons, we can only offer this fellowship to early career researchers working in the United States/Canada. If you have a work visa for the United States or Canada, please check with your visa guidelines regarding payment eligibility from the fellowship prior to applying. While this fellowship is limited to US and Canadian residents, we strongly encourage research projects with global perspectives, particularly in the Global South.

Introducing "Making Ripples": A Practical Handbook for Implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in OER.

by Kaitlin Schilling

Hi all, this message is cross-posted Rebus Community is thrilled to share our latest resource, Making Ripples: A Guidebook to Challenge the Status Quo in OER Creation <https://press.rebus.community/MakingRipples/>. Making Ripples is an open peer-reviewed and edited OER, created from programming insights from Rebus’ work with partners in Louisiana and Massachusetts. The Guide is designed to support educators in reframing their practices with care in an encouraging, conversational tone and includes examples for a wide range of OER resources and authors. The Guide is structured in five interconnected parts that build off one another, and contains opportunities for educators to reflect on their practice, identify strategies for action, and connect with resources and community members. In doing so, readers will create ripple effects of positive change in education and beyond. Our thanks go to all participants, facilitators, and partners in the Textbook Success Program cohorts in Louisiana (in the Interactive OER for Dual Enrollment project) and Massachusetts (via the Remixing Open Textbooks through an Equity Lens grant), as well as The Hewlett Foundation for funding this work. Our gratitude also to all of you readers and community for the supportive culture of sharing and learning! We hope this resource will be useful to you in different ways.

OER in Institutional Repositories

by Fields, Erin

Hello, I have a question related to how people deal with open educational resources in their institutional repositories. We are trying to work through some details at UBC about how to efficiently describe OER in our institutional repository that prioritizes research materials. We were wondering if folks have suggestions for the following: Are there any best practices/processes you use for the metadata? Do you have particular Dublin Core fields and descriptors, keywords you use, or descriptive information that makes it easier to find within your repository? Thanks for any help you can give! Erin

New OER: Gender in Canada - A Companion Workbook

by Amanda Grey

Hello! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Gender in Canada: A Companion Workbook Edited by: Rebecca Yoshizawa Primary Subjects: Gender studies, gender groups [cid:image001.png@01D95C98.D7F0FEE0] This workbook is designed for first or second-year sociology of gender or gender studies courses, focusing on the Canadian context. It is divided into five topics - Theory and Concepts, Institutions, Work, Family and Intimate Relationships, and Bodies and Health. This workbook does not replace a textbook, instructor teachings through lectures, class discussion, class assignments, or other standard undergraduate course materials. Instead, this is an activity book: a course companion, working alongside and with those course materials. It is designed to build competency, capacity, and confidence with course materials, concepts, and arguments. It does this by embracing the concepts of embodied learning, iterative scaffolding, and reflexive insight. "Embodied" means doing things with your body and not just your mind; "scaffolding" means breaking things down into constituent parts that can be gathered together to build something bigger; and "reflexive" means thinking about oneself in relation to broad concepts and contexts around us. The workbook presents four types of content. (1) Each chapter has one or two pages of written content deemed "Insights to Think About," which are summative guides to help students grab onto big ideas. (2) The chapters also have "Words to Try," encouraging a usable lexicon. (3) Chapters have thoughtfully designed "Activities." The activities help students to get ideas down, give those ideas meaning and order, and prepare students to do more engaged work in course conversations and higher-stakes assignments. (4) Finally, each section ends with "My Insights On," where students can record their "big picture" ideas and things they want to explore more in their course discussions and other assignments.

March 9 - Bringing Open Pedagogy to Life with Karen Cangialosi

by Karen Meijer-Kline

Next week for Open Education Week KPU is proud to host Open Pedagogy expert Karen Cangialosi for a talk on: Bringing Open Pedagogy to Life Open Pedagogy contextualizes learning in a larger world outside of the classroom making education more relevant, inclusive, equitable and accessible. It enables students to leverage open licenses in order to contribute to the knowledge commons and engage in dialogue with the wider public; but it also supports them to take greater ownership of how and what they learn. By prioritizing connection and community over methodology and content, students in open pedagogy classrooms use a critical lens in their use of digital tools for discovery, creativity and analysis. Open Pedagogy also means trusting students and supporting especially the most marginalized to find and raise their voices, and it can mean empowering students to be the change agents that they would like to be in the world. Thursday March 9, 3-4 pm (PST) online via Teams. Register by emailing open(a)kpu.ca<mailto:open@kpu.ca> or by replying to this email. This event is open to everyone, so please share widely! ________________________________ Karen Meijer-Kline Chair and Scholarly Communications Librarian e Karen.Meijer-Kline(a)kpu.ca<mailto:Todd.Mundle@kpu.ca> she/her/hers kpu.ca/library<http://www.kpu.ca/library> Kwantlen Polytechnic University ► Where thought meets action

Looking for OER equivalent to "CPhA Guide to Drugs"

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, SAIT's Pharmacy Technician program has been using Canadian Pharmacists Association Guide to Drugs in Canada<https://www.dk.com/ca/book/9781553632931-cpha-guide-to-drugs/> as a textbook. (It's a very specialized drug reference manual that they really like because of the level the content is written at as well as because it's Canada-specific.) However, the book is now out of print, and we've had no success contacting the copyright holder to license the sections they use for classes. We've shared the Canadian nursing pharmacology book<https://opentextbc.ca/nursingpharmacology/> with the faculty, but it was not a good fit. I'm hoping this group might know of any other resources on this topic. Any info is appreciated!

We would like to acknowledge that SAIT is situated on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy. The City of Calgary encompasses a region that the Blackfoot tribes of Southern Alberta described as Moh'kinsstis, meaning 'Elbow,' in reference to its location at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers. Since time immemorial, this region was a traditional gathering place for the tribes of the Blackfoot Confederacy. We are meeting/gathered on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which, today encompasses the Indigenous people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta: the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina, the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the Northwest Métis Homeland - Region 3.
