OpenEd Week 2022 - Collaborative Sessions

by Krysta McNutt

Hello Everyone! I'm starting to plan a schedule of events for the University of Alberta's Open Education Symposium. It will be a series of events throughout Open Education Week (Mar 7-11, 2022). I'm looking to do some collaborative sessions with other institutions. The University of Alberta would handle the registration, Zoom hosting, facilitation support, and edit/post the recording. I would ask that we do a joint-introduction to the session and you are welcome to put the registration and zoom on your institution's website, if you wish, to promote as a partnership with UofA rather than sending them to the UofA website. So far, we have a series of lunch-hour lightning talks (3-4 presenters in a 1hr session) being planned with University of Alberta, University of Calgary, and Thompson Rivers University. A growing list of topics we would like to deliver include: - Evaluating the quality of open pedagogies - OER speed-dating! - Open EdTech - tools review - open and participatory technologies - Pressbooks, H5P, and using them in class - "Do open pedagogies have to be either open or closed? What is in the middle?" - ZTC - common barriers when implementing (course-level) - Universal design, OER, and course design - Demo: How to change your course to incorporate OER If you're interested in collaborating, I would love to hear from you! Thanks, -- Krysta McNutt, PMP (she/her <https://www.mypronouns.org/she-her>) Open Education Lead, Centre for Teaching and Learning University of Alberta, ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Amiskwacîwâskahikan), Treaty 6/Métis Homelands krystam(a)ualberta.ca | 780-710-5674 | Subscribe to CTL's Monthly Newsletter <https://ualberta.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e41612c074c272daa0649aeff&…>

Event - Making OER Count: Incorporating OER into the Tenure and Promotion Process

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, You are invited to attend the following session, Making OER Count: Incorporating OER into the Tenure and Promotion Process<https://bccampus.ca/event/making-oer-count-incorporating-oer-into-the-tenur…> on Thursday, December 2, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Pacific. Description: Anyone familiar with the open educational resources (OER) community knows that questions about the role of OER work in tenure, promotion, and reappointment are constant at conferences and on listservs where OER practitioners and administrators congregate. However, as criteria for tenure and promotion vary greatly between different types of institutions – and even between different departments within an institution – answering these questions can be daunting. An adaptable advisory model, called the OER Contributions Matrix [PDF]<https://www.doers3.org/uploads/1/3/2/2/132273765/the_oer_contributions_matr…>, has been created to approach this conundrum and to help guide faculty as they attempt to include their OER work in their tenure and promotion portfolios. The tool was developed by a working group within Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success (DOERS3), a collaborative of state-, province-, and system-wide OER initiatives that work together to help the OER community realize the potential of OER in a sustainable fashion. During this session members of DOERS3 will provide insight into the OER Contributions Matrix, explain how it came about, and share some potential uses for the document, including a short brainstorming session on how the matrix can be adapted for use at local institutions. Facilitators: Amanda Coolidge (she/her) is director of Open Education at BCcampus in B.C., Canada. She leads the province’s initiatives in open education, from open textbooks to open pedagogy, and with a team of eight other people works across B.C. to enhance access for students. Amanda has a master’s degree in educational technology and many years of experience as an instructional designer at various universities across Canada. Amanda has worked in open education in Calgary, Alberta; Nairobi, Kenya; and B.C. Andrew McKinney (he/him) is the OER coordinator for City University of New York’s (CUNY) Office of Library Services (OLS). For OLS he administers the CUNY OER Initiative, a $4-million-a-year program that aims to increase the use of OER and open pedagogical practices across CUNY’s 24 campuses. He leverages his 15 years of working across CUNY as a graduate student, adjunct faculty member, educational technologist, faculty development specialist, and instructional designer to support CUNY’s librarians, faculty, staff, and students as they adopt, adapt, and create OER. This event is free. To ensure we have an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, we’ve added registration to all our sessions.

Fw: [lpc-l] 2022 Library Publishing Forum Call For Proposals now open!

by Emily Carlisle-Johnston

Hello Canada OER, See below for the Call for Proposals for Library Publishing Forum 2022. -- Emily Carlisle-Johnston (she/her), MLIS Research and Scholarly Communication Librarian University of Western Ontario London, ON, Canada ________________________________ From: lpc-l-bounces(a)lists.purdue.edu <lpc-l-bounces(a)lists.purdue.edu> on behalf of Library Publishing Coalition <contact(a)librarypublishing.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 6, 2021 10:52 AM To: lpc-l(a)lists.purdue.edu <lpc-l(a)lists.purdue.edu> Subject: [lpc-l] 2022 Library Publishing Forum Call For Proposals now open! The Library Publishing Forum<https://librarypublishing.org/forum/> is an annual conference bringing together representatives from libraries engaged in or considering publishing initiatives to define and address major questions and challenges; to identify and document collaborative opportunities; and to strengthen and promote this community of practice. The Forum is sponsored by the Library Publishing Coalition, but you do not need to be a member of the LPC to attend. The Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) is now accepting proposals for the 2022 Library Publishing Forum! After the success of our Virtual Forums in 2020 and 2021, we are thrilled to offer both in-person and online options this year, with a virtual preconference the week of May 16, 2022, followed by the in-person Library Publishing Forum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania May 25–26, 2022. We invite proposals for both of these events, and warmly encourage proposals from first-time presenters and representatives of small and emerging publishing programs. Proposals may address any topic of interest to the library publishing community. The proposal deadline is November 15, 2021. Proposal submissions for both the virtual preconference and the in-person Forum are welcome from LPC members and nonmembers, including library employees, university press employees, scholars, students, and other scholarly communication and publishing professionals. We welcome proposals from first-time presenters and representatives of small and emerging publishing programs. We are committed to expanding the diversity of perspectives we hear from at the Library Publishing Forum. Working towards some of the “Continuing Initiatives” from the LPC Roadmap for Anti-Racist Practice<https://librarypublishing.org/roadmap-for-anti-racist-practice/>, this year we ask all proposals to explicitly address how they are inclusive of multiple perspectives, address DEI, or incorporate anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches. We also encourage speakers to provide us with information about themselves that will assist us in identifying proposals that balance geography, identity, and representation, especially from marginalized groups. Presentations about specific communities should include members of that community in their speaker list, and for sessions with multiple speakers, we seek to avoid all-white and all-male panels. Everyone submitting a presentation will also have an opportunity to complete a brief, anonymous demographic survey so we can better understand who is submitting proposals to LPF. Learn more and submit a proposal<https://librarypublishing.org/program/>.

Looking for Sociology of Pop Culture resources

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, An instructor contacted recently with the following request: We are creating a Pop Culture Sociology course and we are looking for an OER. Course Description: Using a multi-disciplinary approach, students will explore and examine popular culture as one of the most significant cultural and social agents in contemporary society. Learners will study the emergence of pop culture studies and a range of diverse theoretical approaches including critical studies of gender, sexuality and race. Students will consider a variety of mediums such as music, video games, social media, art, film/television, fashion and celebrity. Finally, learners will study and reflect on the role of popular culture in the development of individual identity and group/community identity and action I've checked the usual locations (OpenStax, OERCommons, MERLOT, BCcampus, eCampus Ontario, OASIS, Open Textbook Library, OASIS, OpenOregon, OAPEN) but I wanted to reach out in case there is a gem in a local repository.

Introducing InclusiveAccess.org: Get the facts about automatic textbook billing

by Arianna Cheveldave

This message is sent on behalf of Nicole Allen, SPARC. Dear colleagues, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of InclusiveAccess.org<https://www.inclusiveaccess.org/>: a community-driven initiative to raise awareness of the facts about automatic textbook billing. Little known five years ago, Inclusive Access has taken off as a sales model that automatically adds the cost of digital textbooks into students’ tuition and fees. While this model is intended to address some of the challenges with high textbook costs, it is also creating new challenges for students and faculty. How exactly does Inclusive Access work? Does it really save students money? What about this kind of program is “inclusive”? Straightforward answers to these questions aren’t always easy to find.

Honorariums for Open Textbooks work?

by Lindsey MacCallum

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice on appropriate honorariums to provide to people who work on Open Textbooks. Specifically, I’d like to provide payment to someone to write a chapter for my textbook on a subject I’m not well-versed in, and I’d also like to remunerate two to three peer reviewers of the text. Does anyone have guidance on respectful sums for writing and peer-reviewing? Thanks, Lindsey ____________________ Lindsey MacCallum (she/her) Scholarly Publishing Librarian Liaison Librarian to the Humanities Mount Saint Vincent University Library K’jipuktuk (Halifax) Phone: (902) 457-6402 Website: http://www.msvu.ca/library<https://studentmail.msvu.ca/owa/redir.aspx?SURL=Hwmu7GqHV-M0UnDdMEgZ7PSoKvI…> *Note that I generally observe email-free evenings and weekends.

Culture and Psychology

by Ross, Heather

Hello all. We have an instructor who has written 6 chapters for a textbook on culture and psychology that he plans to provide to his students for free. He’s wondering if there is OER that can help supplement what he has so that his students don’t have to pay for a commercial textbook. Anyone know of any OER on culture and psychology? Thank you.

If interested or for more information, please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca<mailto:shereen.hassan@kpu.ca> by Monday, September 13, 2021. -- I hope that this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Shereen Hassan and I am an SFU criminology alumni. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Simon Verdun-Jones in 2010. I am now a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Criminology department and have been here for almost 17 years. I am reaching out about an opportunity to contribute to an Open Education Resource for the Introduction to Criminology course. This text will be the first of its kind in Canadian Criminology and is unique as it seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and content in a way that Criminology texts to date have failed to do. Dr. Gail Anderson has contributed in the area of biological explanations of crime, and Dr. Zachary Rowan and Michaela McGuire have co-authored a chapter on learning theories. There are authors from several other universities in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort! I am still looking for an author in the area of (1) Victimology. We are flexible on deadlines, and we are hoping to have a draft by December 2021. This text is an introductory text, so the idea here is to provide a brief overview, but to also address this theoretical framework's application to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, Indigenous issues in some way, wherever possible. We have asked authors to keep the chapters short (approximately 4000 words) or as close to that as possible. It would be a wonderful honour to have you contribute to this important project. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Invitation to Partner: Open Pedagogy Community of Practice

by Krysta McNutt

Hello everyone! The first (University of Alberta, CTL) Open Pedagogy Community of Practice meeting occurred this week, and I’m pleased to share we had 37 participants from various Canadian and US (83 registrations). The CoP is intended to focus specifically on instructional practices which are open (OER-enabled or not). Now that we have one session under our belt and feedback is rolling in, I want to reach out to develop partnerships. My vision is to collaboratively host quarterly sessions and drive our planning based on feedback generated from the participants each term. If you’re interested in collaborating to co-host the November session, I would love to hear from you! The commitment would involve partnering with me (yes!) to achieve the following: - Evaluate feedback collected from the community - Determine the format and topics of November’s meeting - Plan potential future feedback loops to enact - Co-host November’s meeting - Post-event communication / feedback Currently, our next session is booked on November 16, 1pm - 3pm MDT. More information can be found on the current Open Pedagogy CoP page <https://www.ualberta.ca/centre-for-teaching-and-learning/teaching-support/o…>, which eventually will become something collaborative. Recordings from the August 24th event will be added in the next week or so. Slides including jam board screenshots can bet found here <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1E4CyDBip_Xd22ZOaIYlre-wye-2JOFRm6F4…>. We did not record the event itself, but I did post-recordings of the webinar content. (Introductions to Communities of Practice and Open Pedagogy) Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you soon! -- Krysta McNutt, PMP (she/her) Open Education Lead, Centre for Teaching and Learning University of Alberta, ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Amiskwacîwâskahikan), Treaty 6/Métis Homelands krystam(a)ualberta.ca | 780-710-5674 | @mcnuttsays

OER on Assessment

by Ross, Heather

Good morning / afternoon and sorry for the cross-post. An instructor sent me this message and I haven't found anything yet, so I'm wondering if anyone else may know of some resources. Thank you. "I am teaching an assessment course in Education, which is new to me. It does not have a textbook, so I am looking for resources to use with the students- content is on validity and reliability, formative, and summative assessment, making assessments using multiple choice questions, making rubrics and checklists etc. Would there be something available in the open resources that might be helpful?"

French Edition?? (was: Cross-Canada Collaboration on Soil Science Book)

by Enkerli, Alexandre

Like Amanda said, congratulations on this great example of collaboration. What really gets me, though, is the mention of work on a French edition! “Relevant to my interests.” Would it be possible to put us in touch with people involved on the Francophone side? I’m sure Lise Brin and Lucie Vincent-LeBlanc are already aware of this work. Just hope we can build bridges with ongoing efforts, here in Quebec.

Open Education Policy Forum

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, This message is sent on behalf of Anahita Rezaei, Open Education & Advocacy Specialist, Centrum Cyfrowe. Open Education Policy Forum is coming back on September 15-16 for the sixth time (and online, too). We are looking forward to seeing you at the end of the summer to discuss the “Universe of Openness,” but today, we are excited to announce an Open Call for two key events that will be held during the Forum: * Lightning talks – presentation of the most inspiring Open Education initiatives from the time of the pandemic [September 15]. In the tradition of exchanging the best practices from Open Education, we’re seeking inspiring initiatives. Have you completed a project or started an inspirational initiative within OE Policy in the past year and are you willing to share it with the Open Education community? If so, we’re looking for you! You’ll have up to 7 minutes to present your project to the world. * Workshops for policy makers and OE activists [September 16]. In small groups of up to 15 participants, where every person can be heard and bring their unique perspective and experience, we want to talk about the future of Open Education. Our goal is to create realistic and achievable guidelines for the OE community in three areas: * Designing the future of open education policy based on know-how and good practices * New concepts & perspectives for the study on copyright for education * Open Education for Green & Climate Education Key dates Deadline for submission to lightning talks and workshops: August 15 Publication of results: August 17 Registration<https://forms.gle/7FhKmAR4qWeHFnAZ7> About the Forum. Open Education Policy Forum is an international conference organised by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation in cooperation with Communia Association, Hewlett Foundation, Intellectual Property Institute, OEGlobal, Otwarte Zasoby and SPARC Europe. Once a year, we bring together stakeholders (activists, researchers, teachers, policy makers) from around the world to exchange good practices and discuss challenges and opportunities faced by the Open Education community. We want to provide an opportunity for networking, exchange of knowledge and future collaborations. “The Universe of Openness” – about the upcoming edition of the Forum. Open Education initiatives have been expanding extraordinarily since 2020. Resources, institutions and infrastructure built on the OE model provide resilience to educational systems at the beginning of remote education. The pandemic time has redefined “openness” in education. Now, with so many various projects in progress, we want to ask the following: how can the OE community maintain this growth? And how can we expand, explore and improve it in the upcoming future? The conference will open with the premiere of a new pan-European study “Remote education during the pandemic: teachers perspective” conducted by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation and Communia Association. For more information, visit the Open Education Policy Forum 2021 website<https://centrumcyfrowe.pl/forum2021/>. Best Regards, -- Anahita Rezaei (she/her) - Forum coordinator Open Education & Advocacy Specialist Fundacja Centrum Cyfrowe centrumcyfrowe.pl<http://centrumcyfrowe.pl/>

Criminology - Call for Authors

by Krista Lambert

Dear all, I’m writing on behalf of faculty member Shereen Hassan at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. Dr. Hassan is looking for a contributor to author a chapter in a much-anticipated, Canada-focused, Introduction to Criminology openly-licensed textbook. The chapter that requires an author is: 1. Media and Crime 2. Please see Dr. Hassan’s letter below and circulate this Call for Authors widely. This is a paid opportunity and would come with a $500 honorarium. If interested, or you would like more please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca by Wednesday, July 7, 2021. -- I hope that this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Shereen Hassan and I am an SFU criminology alumni. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Simon Verdun-Jones in 2010. I am now a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Criminology department and have been here for almost 17 years. I am reaching out about an opportunity to contribute to an Open Education Resource for the Introduction to Criminology course. This text will be the first of its kind in Canadian Criminology and is unique as it seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and content in a way that Criminology texts to date have failed to do. There are authors from several universities, including Simon Fraser University, the University of the Fraser Valley, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, the University of Winnipeg, as well as other institutions in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort! I am still looking for authors in the area of Media and Crime. We are flexible on deadlines, and we are hoping to have a draft by the end of summer. This text is an introductory text, so the idea here is to provide a brief overview, but to also address how theories and principles in this area of research relate to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, and/or Indigenous issues in some way, wherever possible. We have asked authors to keep the chapters short (approximately 4000 words) or as close to that as possible. It would be a wonderful honour to have you contribute to this important project. I look forward to hearing back from you. All the best, Shereen Hassan, PhD Criminology Faculty Kwantlen Polytechnic University Krista Lambert, MEd Project Manager, Health & ABE ZTC Programs Cell: 604.512.4365<tel:604.512.4365> • Email: klambert(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:klambert@bccampus.ca> Twitter: @contentkrista<https://twitter.com/contentkrista> • Pronouns: She/her Learning.

Apply by June 20 to run a Wikipedia assignment in Fall 2021!

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, BCcampus recently received notice of an opportunity to collaborate with Wiki Education in the Fall 2021 term. Below is the modified text from a message that we received about this opportunity. The deadline to run a Wikipedia assignment in Fall 2021 is rapidly approaching! To run a Wikipedia assignment this Fall, submit your application by June 20. Wiki Education's support is fully funded, and there are no fees to run a Wikipedia assignment. The reasons to run a Wikipedia assignment are myriad, but here are some reflections that capture the essence of the project: "Although many students admitted they had first felt intimidated by the thought of their work being ‘out there’ on the internet, they all commented on the huge sense of achievement they felt seeing their articles published on Wikipedia at the end of semester and how contributing to global knowledge was incredibly fulfilling." —Professor Victoria Austin, University of Winnipeg "One of the things I loved about this project was the idea of being able to improve something on a public platform and offer substantive research that could be helpful to someone who might not have access to the same resources we are so lucky to have as students at the University of Michigan." —Aja Brandmeier, Student, University of Michigan To apply for a spot in the program, follow these steps: 1. Create an account at dashboard.wikiedu.org<https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/>. 2. Go through Wiki Education's Orientation for New Instructors<https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/instructors/new-instructor-orientati…>. You'll be prompted to do this once you create an account. 3. After you complete the orientation, you'll be asked to launch the Assignment Design Wizard. Go through the wizard to create your course page. Your course page will be the central hub for your Wikipedia assignment, and it's how you receive support from Wiki Education. When you're ready, submit the course page, and your application will be complete! We will notify you by July 16 if we are able to offer you a spot for the Fall 2021 term. Applications submitted after June 20 will only be considered if space allows. For more information, contact Helaine Blumenthal at helaine(a)wikiedu.org<mailto:helaine@wikiedu.org>.

Examples of student authored Pressbook?

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, I have an instructor who wants to create a student authored Pressbook. What we need to work out is the logistics of multiple students developing content for a single book.

ISO: Survey to identify course in-use course materials

by Urooj Nizami

Hi all, I’m supporting a faculty member who is looking to conduct an environmental scan within their department of all learning resources that are being used by instructors, not just OER. The goal is to identify gaps in OER use. Would anyone happen to have access to a survey that was used to conduct a similar scan elsewhere? As a first step, we’re working backwards by identifying bookstore orders. Thank you all for your time and expertise!

Call for Authors | Intro to Crim OER

by Urooj Nizami

Dear all, I’m writing on behalf of faculty member Shereen Hassan at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. Dr. Hassan is looking for contributors to author two chapters in a much-anticipated, Canada-focused, Introduction to Criminology openly-licensed textbook. The two outstanding chapters that require authors are: 1. Methods/Measuring Crime 2. Environmental Criminology Please see Dr. Hassan’s letter below and circulate this Call for Authors widely. This is a paid opportunity and would come with a $500 honorarium. If interested, or you would like more information, please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca<mailto:shereen.hassan@kpu.ca> by Friday, May 21, 2021. -- I hope that this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Shereen Hassan and I am an SFU criminology alumni. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Simon Verdun-Jones in 2010. I am now a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Criminology department and have been here for almost 17 years. I am reaching out about an opportunity to contribute to an Open Education Resource for the Introduction to Criminology course. This text will be the first of its kind in Canadian Criminology and is unique as it seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and content in a way that Criminology texts to date have failed to do. Dr. Gail Anderson has contributed in the area of biological explanations of crime, and Dr. Zachary Rowan and Michaela McGuire have co-authored a chapter on learning theories. There are authors from several other universities in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort! I am still looking for authors in the area of (1) Environmental Criminology and (2) Measuring Crime and Methods. For environmental Criminology, we were hoping this chapter could begin with a discussion of the classical school and from that, stem into rational choice/choice theories to include also routine activities and other theories falling under this umbrella. The methods chapter should cover UCR, GSS and self-report surveys. It will also be necessary to introduce the idea of statistics, surveys, etc., as one method of measuring crime, but also talk about how qualitative inquiry is important for measuring things like perceptions of crime, severity, etc. A basic introduction to the various methods that criminologists use could be weaved into this chapter. Key methods concepts briefly defined here would include: empirical, qualitative and quantitative, sampling, reliability, validity, deductive and inductive, correlation, case studies and experiments. A detailed discussion of Indigenous methodologies, including but not limited to oral history, would be instrumental, as well as a contextual background for students to better understand the statistics which demonstrate the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in crime statistics. We are flexible on deadlines, and we are hoping to have a draft by the end of summer. This text is an introductory text, so the idea here is to provide a brief overview, but to also address this theoretical framework's application to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, Indigenous issues in some way, wherever possible. We have asked authors to keep the chapters short (approximately 4000 words) or as close to that as possible. It would be a wonderful honour to have you contribute to this important project. I look forward to hearing back from you.

FW: CFP - Open Education Global 2021 Conference

by Lise Brin

FYI – à titre d’information ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Paul Stacey <paulgordonstacey(a)gmail.com<mailto:paulgordonstacey@gmail.com>> Date: Fri, Apr 23, 2021, 1:01 PM Subject: [LibOER] Open Education Global 2021 Conference To: SPARC Libraries & OER Forum <liboer(a)sparcopen.org<mailto:liboer@sparcopen.org>> Hi there SPARC open education colleagues. We’re excited to announce that the call for proposals for the Open Education Global 2021 conference<https://conference.oeglobal.org/2021/> is now open until May 7th. This year Open Education Global<https://www.oeglobal.org/> (OEGlobal) is trying something different by having the conference focus on raising awareness of, and taking action on, the UNESCO OER Recommendation<http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=49556&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION…>. The conference has a five day online conference component running from Sept-27 through Oct-1, with each day focusing on a different action area of the Recommendation, and an in-person congress 5-7-Oct (pandemic permitting) in Nantes France. A special aspect of this years conference is support for sessions in all six of the official UNESCO languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish). We see this as a significant step forward in embracing the diversity and inclusion aspects of open education. The conference website is now live<https://conference.oeglobal.org/2021/> and the Call for Proposals<https://conference.oeglobal.org/2021/call-for-proposals/> for the online conference portion of the event is open. I invite you all to submit a proposal and it will be super helpful if you could circulate the conference website and call for proposals through your networks and encourage others to submit. Thanks for your help in advancing open education through this global community effort. Paul --

CARL Webinar on Advancing National Capacity for OER in Canada - Webinaire sur la collaboration pour faire progresser la capacité du Canada en matière de REL

by Lise Brin

Dear OE practitioners across Canada, praticiens et praticiennes de l’ÉO au Canada, CARL is pleased to announce the following panel that we hope will launch many future conversations across PSE stakeholder groups in Canada on how to collaborate to increase opportunities around OER across the country. Il nous fait grand plaisir d'annoncer la table ronde suivante qui, nous l'espérons, lancera de nombreuses conversations futures entre les groupes d'intervenants de l'enseignement postsecondaire au Canada sur les façons de collaborer pour accroître les possibilités en matière de REL à travers le pays. **** Webinar: How Can We Successfully Collaborate to Advance National Capacity for OER in Canada? https://www.carl-abrc.ca/mini-site-page/webinar-advancing-national-capacity… Date: Thursday, April 22, 2021 Time: 1 p.m. ET Register here (all are welcome): https://bit.ly/39Wd707 Funding by provincial governments to encourage the development or use of open education resources (OER) in post-secondary education has been far from consistent across Canada, ranging from long-standing programs of annual funding for OER production and promotion to limited short-term project funding or in a few cases, no contributions at all. Yet it is clear that the investments made to date – not only by provincial governments but also by individual institutions or consortia – have produced important results, demonstrated by increased adoption of OER textbooks and reduction in student expenses. (For more background, see CARL Open Education Working Group’s 2020 Environmental Scan of Open Education Service and Support in Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/OEWG_environmental_scan…>.) So how can we strengthen OER adoption further, better ensuring that all post-secondary students have opportunities to benefit from regionally relevant OER, and that faculty and instructors who wish to incorporate open education in their teaching have the supports and incentives to allow them to do so? Panelists will discuss strategies and opportunities for advancing Canada’s national OER capacity, whether through funding, training, infrastructure, or advocacy. SPARC’s experience with obtaining funding commitments at the federal level and with a variety of state-level policy strategies in the US will also be presented to help inform the discussion. This webinar will be recorded, and will be offered with simultaneous interpretation in order to accommodate francophone and anglophone presenters and attendees. CARL wishes to thank the SPARC team for their support in planning and delivering this webinar. Moderator: Bibi Wasiimah Joomun, Executive Director, New Brunswick Student Alliance Panelists: Hailey Babb, Open Education Project Manager, SPARC Cynthia Holt, Executive Director, Council of Atlantic University Libraries Gabrielle Lamontagne, Coordinator, Collaborative Projects and Indigenization, BC Campus Kalin McCluskey, Executive Director, Canadian Alliance of Student Associations Michael McNally, Associate Professor, School of Library and Information Studies, University of Alberta Lucie Vincent-LeBlanc, Executive Director, Consortium national en développement de ressources pédagogiques en français au collégial ---- Webinaire : Quelle est la recette d'une collaboration fructueuse pour faire progresser la capacité du Canada en matière de REL ? https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/mini-site-page/webinaire-faire-progresser-la-ca… Date : Jeudi 22 avril 2021 Heure : 13h HE Inscription (tous sont les bienvenus) : https://bit.ly/39Wd707 Le financement accordé par les gouvernements provinciaux pour favoriser la production et l'utilisation de ressources éducatives libres (REL) dans l'enseignement postsecondaire varie énormément au Canada ; certaines provinces ont établi des programmes de financement annuel pour la production et la promotion des REL, d'autres accordent un financement ponctuel par projet à court terme et quelques provinces n'offrent rien du tout. Pourtant, les investissements réalisés à ce jour — non seulement par les gouvernements provinciaux, mais aussi par des établissements ou des consortiums — ont clairement produit des résultats importants, comme en témoignent l'adoption accrue de manuels en REL et la réduction des dépenses des étudiantes et étudiants. (Pour plus de renseignements, consultez l’Analyse du contexte du service et du soutien à l’éducation ouverte au Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/GTDO_analyse_du_context…> du Groupe de travail sur l'éducation ouverte de l'ABRC de 2020) Alors, comment pouvons-nous faire progresser l'adoption des REL de sorte que tous les étudiantes et étudiants de niveau postsecondaire puissent bénéficier de REL pertinentes sur le plan régional et que les membres du corps professoral et le personnel d’enseignement qui souhaitent intégrer l'éducation ouverte dans leur enseignement disposent du soutien et des mesures incitatives qui leur permettent de le faire ? Les panélistes discuteront des stratégies et des possibilités pour augmenter la capacité nationale en matière de REL, que ce soit par le biais du financement, de la formation, de l'infrastructure ou du plaidoyer. L'expérience de SPARC dans l'obtention d'engagements de financement auprès du gouvernement fédéral et dans la mise en place de diverses stratégies politiques auprès des États américains sera également présentée afin d'éclairer la discussion. Ce webinaire sera enregistré et offert avec un service d’interprétation simultanée afin d'accommoder les présentations et la participation en français et en anglais. L'ABRC souhaite remercier l’équipe de SPARC pour son soutien dans la planification et la présentation de ce webinaire.

FW: Register / Inscrivez-vous : Code of Best Practices in Fair Use (and Fair Dealing in Canada) for OER Webinar and Workshop// Webinaire et atelier sur le code de pratique exemplaire en matière d'utilisation équitable pour les REL

by Lise Brin

Dear Canadian OE practitioners, chers praticiens en ÉO du Canada, In addition to the Open Education Cross-Canada Coffee Chat<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/mini-site-page/april2021-oecccc/> that was announced last week and will cover a similar topic, CARL is pleased to co-present, along with ARL, the following webinar and workshop. Note that this session is 90 minutes and not Canadian-specific, while the coffee chat will be about the Canadian context and less in-depth, more discussion-based. En plus du pause-café de la communauté des ressources éducatives libres du Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/mini-site-page/appel-oecccc-avril2021/> qui a été annoncé la semaine dernière et qui portera sur un sujet semblable, l'ABRC est heureuse de coprésenter, avec l'ARL, le webinaire et l'atelier suivants. Notez que cette séance dure 90 minutes et n'est pas spécifique au Canada, tandis que l’appel pause-café portera sur le contexte canadien et sera moins approfondi, plus axé sur la discussion. ======================== Code of Best Practices in Fair Use (and Fair Dealing in Canada) for OER Webinar and Workshop Date: Monday April 19, 2021 Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm ET Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqd-ioqDgqGdBYwQhQEQIo3PfZCdpz_C… Fair use and fair dealing are the rights to use copyrighted content without asking the rightsholder for permission. This statutory safeguard is key to a balanced copyright regime, allowing creativity and knowledge to flourish without constraint. Because the context in which librarians, teachers, musicians, journalists, and others rely on fair use varies, these and other communities<https://cmsimpact.org/report-list/codes/> have developed codes of best practices for fair use that are based on common scenarios in their fields. The newest code is on Open Educational Resources (OER), specifically what fair use enables with respect to using copyrighted material as “inserts.” The codes are not manuals—they are frameworks for decision-making according to community standards. Join ARL and CARL on April 19th from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Eastern for a panel discussion of the new code of best practices<https://www.wcl.american.edu/impact/initiatives-programs/pijip/documents/co…> in fair use for OER, including its Canadian appendix<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Strengthening_Canadian_…>, and what’s next for codes of best practice in the US and Canada. Then, stay for an “off the record” workshop with the authors to build confidence in your own fair use of copyrighted materials for OER. Please visit the event page<https://www.arl.org/event/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-fair-dealing-f…> for the complete list of panelists and more information about the event. ------------ Webinaire et atelier sur le code de pratique exemplaire en matière d'utilisation équitable pour les REL Date : Lundi 19 avril 2021 Time : 11 h à 12 h 30 HE Inscription : https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqd-ioqDgqGdBYwQhQEQIo3PfZCdpz_C… L'utilisation équitable est le droit d'utiliser un contenu protégé par le droit d'auteur sans demander l'autorisation du titulaire des droits. Cette caution judiciaire est essentielle à un régime de droit d'auteur équilibré, permettant à la créativité et à la connaissance de s'épanouir sans contrainte. Étant donné que le contexte dans lequel les bibliothécaires, les enseignants, les musiciens, les journalistes et d'autres personnes recourent à l'utilisation équitable varie, ces communautés et d'autres<https://cmsimpact.org/report-list/codes/> ont élaboré des codes de pratique exemplaires en matière d'utilisation équitable, basés sur des scénarios courants dans leurs domaines. Le code le plus récent porte sur les ressources éducatives libres (REL), et plus particulièrement sur ce que permet l'usage en ce qui concerne l'utilisation de matériel protégé par le droit d'auteur sous forme « d’encarts ». Les codes ne sont pas des manuels, mais des cadres pour la prise de décisions selon les normes de la communauté. Joignez-vous à l'ARL et à l'ABRC le 19 avril de 11 h à 12 h 30 (heure de l'Est) pour une discussion en groupe sur le nouveau code de pratique exemplaire<https://www.wcl.american.edu/impact/initiatives-programs/pijip/documents/co…> en matière d'utilisation équitable pour les REL, y compris son annexe canadienne<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Renforcer_droits_utilis…>, et sur les prochaines étapes pour les codes de pratique exemplaires aux États-Unis et au Canada. Ensuite, restez pour un atelier « à huis clos » avec les auteurs pour renforcer votre confiance dans votre propre utilisation équitable de matériel protégé par le droit d'auteur pour les REL. Veuillez consulter le site de l’événement<https://www.arl.org/event/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-fair-dealing-f…> pour voir la liste complète des conférenciers ainsi pour plus amples renseignements sur l’événement.

Question re: H5P and Pressbooks

by Cynthia Holt

Hi Everyone, I have a prof who is on a joint session between the Canada Media Fund, DOCTalks and SSHRC for Congress this June. His concept is to use an H5P branching scenario that will guide users through a series of videos to learn more about using documentary media for knowledge mobilization purposes. He’s wondering if Pressbooks be a good place to host this? The session will be live and synchronous but attendees will have the chance to engage with the videos at their own pace through the session for 15-20 minutes. Also, there are estimates that there could be up to 600 attendees. Does anyone know if Pressbooks is able to handle that level of traffic? I tried posting a question to the H5P Forum, but although I can login to the H5P.org website, I can’t seem to post to the forum, so I thought that I’d take it out to this list as I don’t have much experience yet with H5P. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Cynthia Cynthia Holt Executive Director / Directrice générale Council of Atlantic University Libraries / Conseil des bibliothèques universitaires de l’Atlantique (CAUL-CBUA) 120 Western Parkway, Suite 202, Bedford, NS B4B 0V2 | W: caul-cbua.ca<https://caul-cbua.ca/> | T: 902-830-6467 | E: execdir(a)caul-cbua.ca<mailto:execdir@caul-cbua.ca> CAUL-CBUA represents member libraries across the region, all of whom sit on the unceded and traditional territories of First Peoples.

You’re invited: Open Education Challenge Series during Open Education Week

by Arianna Cheveldave

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 Sent via Arianna Cheveldave Coordinator, Open Education, BCcampus Email: acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:acheveldave@bccampus.ca> • LinkedIn: ariannacheveldave<https://ca.linkedin.com/in/arianna-cheveldave> • Pronouns: She/her ________________________________ I acknowledge that the land I live, work, and play on is the unceded territory of the səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), W̱SÁNEĆ, and Songhees Nation of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples.

by Hendricks, Christina

Hi everyone, The annual OER conference and the Domains conference are teaming up for 2021, into #OERxDomains21<https://oer21.oerconf.org/> in April! I personally have never been to the OER conference b/c it’s held in the UK and I haven’t been travelling much lately (even before the pandemic), and I’m excited to join this great combination of conferences online. I thought some of you might be interested as well. Below is more information and a link to the call for proposals—proposals are due Jan. 31.
