Hi All,

I’m excited to share SAIT’s Open Education Week activities.  We are still online for our classes and events, so two very talented students have developed the following online asynchronous activities that anyone can access:

• The  OER Mythbuster Word Search includes pop-up explanations for common OER myths. 
• The digital escape room, An “Open” Secret at the Reg Erhardt Library, has users follow a series of clues and puzzles to find their way out of the library.  Current students can win a prize when they complete the escape room.

Feel free to link to these resources. Our general calendar of events is available at https://libguides.sait.ca/OEWeek

Cheers,

Jessica

Oki, Amba’wastitch, Danit’ada, Tân’si, Hello. 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.
