Re: [Canadaoer] Q about question bank creation/management software

by Rajiv Jhangiani

Hello everyone, Just a quick follow up to say that I haven’t received any responses to this email (nor on the Open Textbook Network’s listserv); however, I am currently investigating TAO, which is a potential solution that was suggested to me by Clint Lalonde from BCcampus: https://www.taotesting.com/tao-community-edition/ Cheers, Rajiv ________________________________ From: Canadaoer <canadaoer-bounces(a)mail.bccampus.ca> on behalf of Rajiv Jhangiani <rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca> Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2018 1:41:36 PM To: Canadaoer(a)mail.bccampus.ca Subject: [Canadaoer] Q about question bank creation/management software Hello everyone, I am writing to inquire whether any of you have used software to support the authoring and management of question banks to support open textbooks? I have used Repondus in the past (https://www.respondus.com/products/respondus/index.shtml) as well as implemented simpler options that involve writing questions in MS word using a format that can easily be imported into an LMS using an importer like http://lyceum.algonquincollege.com/quizgenerator/. The former also has a free version (Respondus LE, https://www.respondus.com/download/respondus_le.shtml) which works for authoring and managing question banks that will be used for print exams (without LMS integration), while the latter approach works for LMS-delivered quizzes but not at all for print quizzes where, for example, you want to have the ability to randomly pick items. A third option is to create questions within the LMS question bank tool itself, but that is typically a very clunky system that does not export well for print quizzes. I am aware of online tools such as Proola (http://proola.org/) and Prendus (https://www.prendus.com/) that are geared towards collaborative question bank authoring by educators and students, respectively. Given the growing interest in creating ancillary resources to support open textbooks, I am wondering if anyone else has implemented (or even trialled) a different technological solution?

Two positive developments at KPU

by Rajiv Jhangiani

Hello everyone, Before I sign off for some vacation time I wanted to share two recent developments at KPU which I hope will serve as a model for other institutions: 1. We now have a searchable field in the course timetable for Zed Cred sections. To see how this works watch this video: https://media.kpu.ca/media/Search+the+course+timetable+for+zero+textbook+co… 2. Our Senate has now approved a policy that integrates a) a search for relevant OER and b) flagging as a potential Zed Cred course in the course development & revision process. Although this seems rather technical, in practice it means that within 5 years (the course review cycle at KPU) all courses will have undergone a search for OER. I am sharing these developments with this group because I am happy to provide guidance for anyone else seeking to achieve either of these two things. Cheers, Rajiv ________________________ Rajiv Jhangiani, Ph.D. Special Advisor to the Provost on Open Education & Psychology Instructor, Kwantlen Polytechnic University<http://www.kpu.ca/arts/psychology> Associate Editor, Psychology Learning and Teaching<http://www.uk.sagepub.com/journals/Journal202353> Ambassador, Center for Open Science<https://osf.io/>

Glossary Tool For an Open Textbook

by Ross, Heather

Good morning. I received the following email this morning and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions. “Hi Heather, I have an open textbook/ ed tech question for you. Do you know of any software for making glossaries? Pressbooks has a type of page called a glossary, but doesn’t have any glossary-specific functionality. Perhaps it was intended as a placeholder. Right now the textbook just has end-matter with a long list of terms, but it’s a major job to keep track of whether a term has been listed and/or defined, and alphabetizing is all manually done. I did a quick search to see what glossary software is out there, but I was wondering if you knew off-hand about anything that is particularly reliable, and that we are unlikely to lose access to at some point in the future. An open source solution that we can run on our own might help, though I would need help with getting it set up on a local server.” Heather M. Ross (B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.)

by Jenni Hayman

Dear Canada OER Friends, Apologies for cross posting if it occurs. You may, or may not have heard about the Cross-Canada OER mini-MOOC, Making Sense of Open Eduction. I am launching a two-week online course as part of my doctoral research from June 1-15, 2018 and would like to invite and include any educators in your region that you believe might be interested in learning more about open ed. If you can share the message below with post-secondary educators, I would be very grateful. I hope that it will be a fun and engaging learning experience for educators new to the practice of open. Thank you for your consideration! Best, Jenni If you believe there is interest, please share the following description with educators in your network: Suggested Subject Line: Open online course about open educational resources June 1-15 Dear Teaching Community, >From June 1-15, 2018, a global (and cross-Canada) mini-MOOC (massive open online course) called Making Sense of Open Education will take place through the OpenLearn UK Moodle platform. The course will consist of short daily lessons and activities at an introductory level. The purpose of the course is to increase awareness and use of open educational resources (OER) as part of post-secondary teaching and learning in Canada and globally. Topics will include OER, open educational practices (OEP), copyright and the Creative Commons licenses, and open tools for adaptation. A variety of experienced open educators, and friends from global regions will participate and support learning and sharing opportunities. Daily lessons will take approximately 30 minutes to complete with a targeted (and hopefully fun) daily practice opportunity to apply what you are learning. The course team and others that have already signed up look forward to your participation. There is no cost to participate in the course. The full set of course modules will be made available on the course front page June 1 for you to download, save, and adapt as you desire if you prefer to take the course in a self-directed way.

Canadian post-secondary faculty: opportunity to review new OER for Open Choice

by Lauri Aesoph

Hello Everyone, See the below opportunity for all Canadian post-secondary faculty. Open Choice invites Canadian faculty to review OER for their upcoming database Choice, a publishing unit at the Association of College and Research Libraries, plans to release a new online database of open educational resource (OER) reviews called Open Choice. The new service will feature a significant collection of critical reviews of OER targeted to teaching faculty, instructional designers, librarians, and university staff charged with acquiring digital tools for instruction (IT, instructional technologies, etc.). We are looking for active teaching faculty who be interested in reviewing open educational materials for Open Choice. The reviews are more substantive, averaging 2,000-2,500 words, and use a structured review rubric. The rubric provides consistency in reviews and makes them easier to write. All reviews go through a formal copyediting process. We are able to provide a honorarium of $200 for each review. If you are interested in reviewing, or have questions about Open Choice or the reviewing process, please email Melissa Karp at [ mailto:mkarp@ala-choice.org | mkarp(a)ala-choice.org ] .

Creative Commons Question

by Ross, Heather

I received the following email from our copyright office today. My initial thought is he can’t use it in the journal article, but I want to confirm this. Thank you. Hi Heather, A researcher with Geological Sciences named Jamal came in the other day to ask Kate some questions about a paper he would like to publish. We aren’t certain, but we think he wants to publish in a traditional (i.e., not open) geology journal. He has pictures from five different sources he would like to include. Four are third-party images from already published books are journal article. The last image is a creative commons image<http://ba.e-pics.ethz.ch/latelogin.jspx?records=:579552&r=1523389539059#152…> with a CC BY-SA 4.0<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/> licence. Because it is a CC share-alike licence, Kate would like to confirm with you if Jamal can use the image in the article if the entire article cannot be licenced CC BY-SA 4.0. Can the article be published with only the one image maintaining the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, and the rest of the article have the standard “all rights reserved” copyright protection? Thanks!

open licensing hematology (blood sample) slides

by Krysta McNutt

Hi Everyone, I have a project where an instructor would like to digitize and openly license thousands of blood sample slides as OER. The slides are dated and have been stored in the basement of the faculty for years and we are navigating the validation of* copyright and ethics of use*. At this stage, it seems that digitizing them is not a concern but licensing them as open is a question mark which we will begin exploring with our Copyright and Ethics office shortly. If any of you have experience in this type of OER project, could you please reach out? I'd love to be able to equip the instructor with examples as we navigate these conversations. Thank you! -- Krysta McNutt, PMP Open Education Project Manager Centre for Teaching and Learning University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada krystam(a)ualberta.ca | 780-710-5674 | @mcnuttsays <http://www.twitter.com/mcnuttsays> UA OE Interest Group <https://guides.library.ualberta.ca/open-educational-resources> | Alberta OER Community of Practice <http://www.albertaoer.com/community> | Learn more here <https://www.ualberta.ca/centre-for-teaching-and-learning/services/teaching-…> *The University of Alberta is located **o**n Treaty 6 territory, the territory of the Papaschase, and the homeland of the * *Métis Nation.*

BCcampus Pressbooks Major Release Scheduled: March 15-16

by Lauri Aesoph

Great news! Pressbooks has been making changes to the interface and functionality based on your feedback. The major release for the BCcampus Open Education Pressbooks instances is scheduled for later this month. Here’s a heads up of the changes that are on the way. Most of the improvements are under the hood. However, there are a few big changes we would like to call to your attention. First, a new look and feel is available for the network home page and catalog. The new standalone catalog page is sortable and filterable, for improved discovery. Pressbooks has also given the webbook a much-needed makeover, with some added functionality. A wider book layout, better scrolling and navigation are just some of the enhancements. We have also updated the Open Textbook theme at BCcampus. A big thanks to Ryerson University for supporting the development of these changes. The Luther theme will be retiring on the same day as the new release. In their place, Pressbooks is releasing two new themes, McLuhan and Jacobs. These two themes both offer expanded theme options, and both are designed with textbooks in mind. Their development has been generously funded by [ https://www.ecampusontario.ca/ | eCampus Ontario ] . We will be continuing to use the Open Textbooks as our default theme and the theme for the BCcampus open textbook collection. We are thoroughly testing the updated Pressbooks prior to the release and these improvements should not cause any issues with your existing books. But, if anything does come up, let us know right away at [ mailto:helpdesk@bccampus.ca | helpdesk(a)bccampus.ca ] Other changes include: * Save Button: Pressbooks heard your pleas for a clearer way to save your chapters. It’s here! (In the past, the “save” button was named Update, Publish, or other variations based on the status of your post.) Note that when you create a new chapter, front or back matter section, you will first see a “Create” button, but subsequent changes can be saved by clicking on the new “Save” button. * Contributor Management: Pressbooks added a centralized contributor management tool where you can add contributors who can then be reused throughout your book as authors, editors, translators, reviewers, illustrators, and generic contributors. * Organize Page Improvements: Pressbooks revamped the Organize page, improving the display on mobile devices, and improving accessibility for keyboard navigation and screen reader users. * Chapter Importing: Now, you can import individual chapters from public, openly licensed Pressbooks webbooks using the Import tool. All you need to drop is drop in the URL to a book, begin the import process, then select the chapters you wish to add to your book. (Content that is private, All Rights Reserved or that carries any of the Creative Commons Non-Derivative licenses cannot be imported.) * Content Visibility: Pressbooks has made it more intuitive to manage the visibility of your content across web and exports. Now you can simply designate content visibility in web and exports on both the Organize page and the edit screen for individual front matter, chapters and back matter. * Import Files from URL: You can now import supported file formats hosted on remote (web based) sources via URL. If you have files hosted elsewhere (with the right permissions), you no longer need to download and upload files, but can import them directly with just the URL. * Ebook Start Point: Pressbooks has moved the ebook start point setting to the ebook Theme Options page to ensure that only one front matter, chapter, or back matter can be set as the ebook start point. (Note that Pressbooks tries to enforce the ebook start point you select. However, ereader devices may still override the start point you designate.) * Language Support Changes: Pressbooks has renamed the Language Support section in Theme Options to Language & Script Support to better reflect its functionality; we’ve also re-labelled Hindi support to Devanagari, to clarify that the Devanagari script supports Hindi, Sanskrit, and over 120 other languages. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or problems navigating the new features. You can contact us at [ mailto:helpdesk@bccampus.ca | helpdesk(a)bccampus.ca ] Want to see how it looks? Our team put together a [ https://youtu.be/rBJ7pU-xddE | screencast ] of the new interface and the changes that you will see when the release happens mid March. [ https://youtu.be/rBJ7pU-xddE | https://youtu.be/rBJ7pU-xddE ] Stay up to date Interested in staying in the know on Pressbooks updates? * Check [ https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-updates/ | https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-updates/ ] * Attend one of the webinars we will be hosting reviewing the changes to the Pressbooks UI- * Friday, March 9 from 10-11 am * Tuesday March 13 from 10-11 am * Thursday March 15 from 10-11 am * Friday March 16 from 10-11 am * Make sure to stay updated via our [ https://bccampus.ca/bccampus-news/ | Blog ] and on [ https://twitter.com/bccampus | Twitter ] * Sign up for the [ https://confirmsubscription.com/h/d/97F887551C7932F2 | BCcampus Newsletter ] Regards, Lauri Aesoph, on behalf of the BCcampus Open Education team Lauri Aesoph, Manager, Open Education BC campus | connect.collaborate.innovat e . 250-893-0258 | laesoph(a)bccampus.ca | Skype lauri.aesoph 120-645 Fort Street | Coast & Straits Salish Territory | Victoria, BC | V8W1G2 [ https://mail.bccampus.ca/zimbra/bccampus.ca | BCcampus.ca ] | @BCcampus | #BCcampus Sign up for [ https://bccampus.ca/bccampus-around-the-web/ | BCcampus news ]

OER and Open Pedagogy in Engineering

by Ross, Heather

Good morning all. There are some rumblings coming out of our College of Engineering that they are interested in using OER / open pedagogy in first year courses. This possibility is coming as they prepare to renew the first year curriculum. Currently first year Engineering students are using a local adaptation of University Physics, which we’ll hopefully release widely this summer, and an Engineering Economics book is in the works. We’ll hopefully release that one in the fall. I’m wondering if anyone else knows of other OER and open pedagogy being used in colleges of Engineering that they could share with me. Thank you.

There are some rumblings coming out of our College of Engineering that they are interested in using OER / open pedagogy in first year courses. This possibility is coming as they prepare to renew the first year curriculum. Currently first year Engineering students are using a local adaptation of University Physics, which we’ll hopefully release widely this summer, and an Engineering Economics book is in the works. We’ll hopefully release that one in the fall. I’m wondering if anyone else knows of other OER and open pedagogy being used in colleges of Engineering that they could share with me. Thank you.

Chasing down this one open textbook...

by Krysta McNutt

Hi Everyone, I’m trying to recall an open textbook that a colleague at UofA is looking for. It was on display at the last BC open textbook summit, he thinks at the OpenStax display and it's about how to collaborate on the development of OER. At first I thought he meant the REBUS ebook on collaborating with students but that’s not the one. The plan is to have some printed open textbooks available at the Faculty of Sciences’ celebration of teaching as prizes and share that digital copies are freely available. Any suggestions of unique science OER or what this collaboration text is? Thanks so much! Krysta

Great suggestion for a Webinar...

by Jenni Hayman

Hello Everyone, Our eCampusOntario OER Fellow Maureen Glynn suggests the following Webinar (if you have time). Good research! Title: The Open Educators Factory Project: In Search for the Open Educator The Open Educators Factory (OEF) project stems from the assumption that true progress in terms of openness in higher education (as well as in other educational sectors) requires a major cultural change in the mindset of all stakeholders from public policy makers to institutional leaders, to teachers and researchers, to students and parents. The aim of the Open Educators Factory project is to explore how to transform university teachers from "agents of resistance" into "agents of change" for openness in education. This presentation will discuss results based on data collected from more than 400 HE teachers. When: Wednesday, 7 February 2018 – 1:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time (Canada) Where: Online through Adobe Connect at: https://athabascau.adobeconnect.com/cider Registration is not required; all are welcome. CIDER Sessions are recorded and archived for later viewing through the CIDER website.

Ebook Best Practice

by Greg Gay

Hello Canada OER List I have a couple questions I'm hoping I can find answers for on this list. We're in the process of developing a series OERs related to digital accessibility, to be distributed in various forms including HTML, epub, pdf, etc. We're experimenting with Pressbooks as the platform for assembling the content, content that was previously part of a MOOC based course. The content is quite varied, with typical text and images, lot's of video, and a variety of interactive activities, most of which link out to resource websites specifically created for the courses. 1. What is the best practice for including external video, with epub books in particular? From what I read, it seems the video needs to be included in the files for an epub book. This is not an option for us, given there are 30 or 40 videos in the course, which if added directly to the epub, would make the book's size too large to be usable for many (Gigabytes in size). Linking from Youtube etc. does not seem to work for epubs and PDFs. We've ended up using the YouTube embed code, to embed the videos for those viewing the book online, but for epubs and PDFs the videos are blank spaces. We've included links to the videos as a backup, so readers can go to YouTube and view the videos there. Question: Is there a better way to include external videos in epubs (and PDFs)? 2. Pressbooks allows iframes, into which we can open external activities from within the web version of the book, but again when exported as an epub or PDF, they show up as a blank space. Similar question: Question: Is there a best practice for linking external content into epubs and PDFs? Thanks greg P. S. is there an archive of this list one can go back and review? -- Greg Gay IT Accessibility Specialist Digital Education Strategies The G.

Invitation for your Physics & Psychology faculty

by Rajiv Jhangiani

Hello everyone, At BCcampus, we recently launched two COEPs (Communities of Open Education Practitioners), for Physics and Psychology. The idea behind creating these groups is to facilitate collaboration and sharing among like-minded disciplinary colleagues across different institutions, both within and beyond BC. This might, for example, involve proposing and peer reviewing revisions to within specific open textbooks, sharing ancillary teaching resources, or even helping identify the need for/collaboratively developing additional open educational resources. These groups are designed to be informal and, importantly, the level of involvement is entirely up to the individual. So, for example, an instructor may choose to draw on shared resources for their own teaching and assist colleagues by reviewing a newly-discovered open textbook. Or they may choose to propose the development of a question bank to support an open textbook, recruit collaborators, and apply to BCcampus for funding to support their project. In each case, we have created a Google Group to facilitate communication (this functions like a private listserv) and a private Hypothes.is group to facilitate sharing of annotations within specific open textbooks (click here if you are unfamiliar with social annotations). Anyone interested in joining a COEP should send an email to opentext(a)bccampus.ca. They will then be added to the Google Group and receive the link to join the private Hypothes.is group. Please feel free to share this email with interested colleagues. Thank you very much for your support of open education.

Re: [Canadaoer] TESS 17 + Next Meeting

by Lena Patterson

Hello everyone, Amanda, thank you for the heartfelt endorsement! I completely agree. The conference really benefited from the cross-provincial voices that we had in attendance. And, I know that our colleagues in Ontario were grateful for the opportunity to tap into the other OER movements in Canada as well. I will make sure that invite information for next year is available far in advance so you can plan to attend. Thank you all for your response to the Doodle poll. The results are in! Here is our confirmed date and time for the next meeting: December 12, 2:00pm – 3:00pm Eastern time. I’ll send a calendar invite in a moment to follow-up. Thank you!

December meeting + opportunity to rethink

by Lena Patterson

Hi Canada OER, Happy fall! As discussed at our last get together we’re going to aim for early December for this next meeting. In the spirit of new year’s resolutions, I wonder if it might be worthwhile to set aside some time for a discussion about the value of the Canada OER group. What do we want the future to look like in terms of inter-provincial collaboration and connections? What role can this group play in making some of those opportunities a reality? Some food for thought as we head into 2018. Doodle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/8hk97vvgd7wwau5h Google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KuWFCekNe2iKjS4mY5DGzy2KsgMdXidfWtkkSIi… Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Fwd: [Openkpu] Textbooks too pricey? How does free sound?

by Amanda Coolidge

Congratulations to KPU- the first Zed Cred program in Canada! From: "Caroline Daniels" <Caroline.Daniels(a)kpu.ca> To: "Openkpu" <openkpu(a)mail.bccampus.ca> Sent: Wednesday, November 1, 2017 11:02:35 AM Subject: [Openkpu] Textbooks too pricey? How does free sound? This is very exciting new for Open Studies at KPU! Congrats to all of you who were so involved in getting this off the ground! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 1, 2017 KPU unveils sweet suite of courses with no-cost textbooks Metro Vancouver, B.C. – Students at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) are about to save thousands of dollars on their education, thanks to dozens of courses that don’t require expensive, commercial textbooks. Launched Nov. 1, the courses are part of KPU’s Zed Cred program, which is the first of its kind in Canada. The "Z" in Zed Cred refers to zero textbook costs and the “Cred” refers to an entire degree program, in this case KPU’s certificate of arts credential. “Even a single textbook can cost well over $100, which means a student can spend thousands of dollars on textbooks on top of the cost of tuition during their post-secondary career,” said Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani, a university teaching fellow in open studies and psychology instructor. KPU has launched close to 50 courses in the Faculty of Arts that use either free open textbooks or free library materials that are available online. Third-year KPU psychology student Bethany Borkowski is already planning to take three Zed Cred courses in counselling psychology, sociology, and journalism. Borkowski estimates she’s spent about $700 on textbooks to date, despite buying mostly old and used editions. “The high cost of textbooks limits university learning to those who have accessibility and the financial resources available to cover additional costs,” says Borkowski. “ I know many people who do not buy textbooks because of the cost, and they miss out on valuable information for a course.” In fact, Jhangiani recently published his research showing that 54 per cent of BC post-secondary students do not purchase at least one of their required course textbooks because of cost. The introduction of Zed Cred means Borkowski will no longer have to guess what page an instructor is referring to due to differences in their respective textbook editions, she’ll have access to her materials anywhere, and she won’t have to carry any heavy tomes around with her. Borkowski says open educational resources also make courses much more engaging. “Instead of just reading from a textbook, we had access to more resources online through hyperlinks in the text and suggested readings from the instructor.” KPU’s Zed Cred was made possible thanks to a $35,000 grant from BCcampus to adopt and adapt pre-existing free online open education resources as well as create new ones. KPU also received an Open Education Resource Grant, which matches BCcampus funding with KPU funding for creating new open textbooks, redesigning existing resources, and providing workshops, training and other support services. KPU is already the leading institutional adopter of open textbooks in B.C. “KPU is a proudly open access university,” notes Dr. Diane Purvey, dean of the Faculty of Arts. “Zed Cred is in complete alignment with our mission to create pathways to enable all learners to become successful.” For more information, visit [ http://link.email.dynect.net/link.php?DynEngagement=true&H=w8Bl7ZSLqC%2BFFE… | http://www.kpu.ca/arts/zedcred ] .

Textbooks and supplementary resources that were created in B.C. are labelled as "Made in British Columbia". Other Canadian based materials are also marked.

O ften calculus is taught as a technical subject with rules and formulas devoid of its connection to applications. In this textbook, the applications form an important focal point, with emphasis on life sciences. This places the techniques and concepts into practical context, as well as motivating quantitative approaches to biology taught to undergraduates. A two-volume set for an introductory calculus course has also been added, written by faculty authors at the Grand Valley State University in Michigan * [ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=a78cdfc6-b5b6-45cb-9045-… | Active Calculus, 2017 edition ] can be used as a stand-alone textbook for a standard first semester college calculus course or as a supplement to a more traditional text.

Julie Ward, assistant professor of 20th and 21st-century Latin American literature at the University of Oklahoma, is the editor. * [ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=0613e2b4-5a51-4aec-8927-… | Leyendas y arquetipos del Romanticismo español, Segunda edición ] i s an introduction to nineteenth-century Spanish literature with a thematic focus on legends and archetypes.

Textbook Updates Made in British Columbia PDF files and print-on-demand copies are now available for the two textbook set: [ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=4356bb1a-a2d9-4a3c-989e-… | Greek and Latin Roots: Part I - Latin ] and [ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=659957b9-b344-4f30-9f74-… | Greek and Latin Roots: Part II - Greek ] . This series examines the systematic principles by which a large portion of English vocabulary has evolved from Latin and (to a lesser degree) from Greek. These open textbooks, by the late Peter Smith, were produced by the University of Victoria and funded, in part, from a BCcampus OER Grant. Canadian (Alberta) [ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=c6d0e9bd-ba6b-4548-82d6-… | Creative Clinical Teaching in the Health Professions ] has been updated with files for its 2016 edition. This peer reviewed e-book, from Athabasca University authors Sherri Melrose, Caroline Park, and Beth Perry, is a must-read for nurses and other health professionals who strive to teach with creativity and excellence in clinical settings.

Forest Ecology

by Ross, Heather

I just received a phone call from an instructor (and the department head for Plant Science) who is looking for OER on forest ecology. A colleague of his teaching statistics in that department told him about OER and he wants in on this. Does anyone have anything on forest ecology? And why can’t I get these calls from the head of Psychology? Heather M. Ross (B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.)

Teaching in Secondary Schools

by Ross, Heather

Some professors in our College of Education are looking for an open textbook or other OER for a first year course. It’s an introductory course (basic educational theory, terms, what’s assessment, etc.). The learning outcomes not specific to Saskatchewan are: - Develop awareness of important education constructs, issues, and practices in teaching and learning in secondary schools (high schools) - Begin to understand who secondary learners are and how to address their unique needs - Start to consider alternative possibilities for innovating teaching and learning in secondary education They are considering taking an open pedagogy approach and having students find appropriate information for creating a course wiki that could serve as a text, but the professors would still like to know what’s out there for OER to either go along side or use if the open pedagogy approach doesn’t seem to be working (it’s a new course). Thank you. Heather M. Ross (B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.)

Nursing Fundamentals

by Ross, Heather

A nursing instructor here just told me that they’ve heard rumours that the textbook they’ve been using for several courses may no longer have a Canadian edition (https://www.amazon.ca/Canadian-Fundamentals-Nursing-Patricia-Potter/dp/1926…) which will mean them having to begrudgingly switch to a Pearson text. She said it would be great if there was an open textbook instead. Does anyone know of something existing or in the works? Thank you. Heather M. Ross (B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.)
