Jan. 20th Coffee Chat

by Joanne McKenzie-Hicks

Hello Ms. Brin, I am a Library Technology Student at SAIT currently enjoying a practicum with Jessica Norman at the SAIT Reg Erhardt Library. I am helping Jessica plan for OE Week at SAIT and I have registered for the Coffee Chat next week. Attending your Coffee Chat as an observer will help me learn more about the Canadaoer community and OE Week. I thought as I've never appeared on a Canadaoer attendee list in the past that an introduction may be in order. I'm looking forward to the event next week! Best regards, Joanne McKenzie-Hicks Student, Library Information Technology Southern Alberta Institute of Technology Pronouns - She/Her

Update on Vretta's printing of OpenStax books

by Arianna Cheveldave

This message is sent on behalf of Lauri Aesoph. Dear colleagues: It's been more than a year since Toronto-based Vretta agreed to be the Canadian distributor for OpenStax hardcover textbooks<https://bccampus.ca/2020/04/28/hard-back-openstax-books-come-to-canada/>, two years after BCcampus approached OpenStax about providing this service as an option. Since then, BCcampus and Campus Manitoba have met with Vretta regularly to gauge response to this opportunity and discuss service finetuning that best fit need. Adjustments were made throughout the pandemic to ensure that printed OpenStax textbooks continued to be available. With the January term around the corner, Vretta is ready to receive textbook orders and answer questions as it and its collaborators—BCcampus and Campus Manitoba—look to improve access to their OpenStax inventory of hardback books. Details regarding service improvements will be shared in 2021. In the meantime, questions regarding this service can be directed to Vretta Account Manager, Shoeb Mozammel, at shoeb.mozammel(a)vretta.com. Regards, Lauri Aesoph Manager, Open Education, BCcampus

OE-specific positions in Canada

by Krysta McNutt

Hello everyone, I’m hoping to connect with individuals in Canada who hold a role that is specifically dedicated to open education. My role at my institution is dedicated to OE from within our Centre for Teaching and Learning. I would love to get insight on how other institutions are positioning OE roles and what is working well/not well, barriers, etc. I hope you are all winding down for the holiday season soon!

Psychology 2E (OpenStax) in Pressbooks?

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, I am looking for Psychology, 2nd edition, from OpenStax in a format that can be imported into Pressbooks. I didn't see a compatible file type on the OpenStax page, and the BCcampus page states that only the 1st edition is available in Pressbooks format. I was wondering if: 1. Someone has already imported the 2nd edition OR 2. Someone can give me some pointers on what I would need to do to import the 2nd edition content.

Re: [Canadaoer] Fair use statement in OER example?

by Lillian Hogendoorn

Our guidance at eCampusOntario would be to include the following statement: “This resource is licensed XXX unless otherwise noted” We would then have the author include a copyright statement with the material used under fair dealing “(Title) by (Author). Copyright (Copyright Holder) (Year). All Rights Reserved” We would also encourage the creation of an appendix with a list of materials that are exceptions to the CC license. Meredith Jacob and a team of colleagues at Creative Commons USA are currently working on a best practices for Fair Use/Dealing in OER.
