Dear colleagues,
At a recent CanadaOER meeting, and during other discussions, many have expressed the need for a list of in-progress OER projects that can be checked before committing to the creation or revision of an open educational resource.
That need has now fulfilled with the new OER in Development by Discipline<https://opentextbc.ca/oerdiscipline/back-matter/appendix-b/> page in the OER by Discipline Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/oerdiscipline/>. This list as well as links to in-progress projects, posted on each subject page through this directory, will be updated regularly.
If you have a project that you'd like added to this list or an update or correction about a current listing, please email laesoph(a)bccampus.ca.
Regards,
Lauri Aesoph

Dear colleagues,
I hope you can join us for the following webinar on Tuesday, October 6, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. PDT: Publishing Indigenous Perspectives Online: How RavenSpace Editors Approach Collaboration<https://bccampus.ca/event/publishing-indigenous-perspectives-online-how-rav…>.
RavenSpace, developed by UBC Press, is a digital platform for publications that aims to support Indigenous community-based research and authorship. It functions as a place where, with community permission, Indigenous knowledge can be shared, but also protected—where knowledge holders may maintain and assert their cultural protocols that govern how certain materials should be accessed, and by whom. In this session, we will show how RavenSpace has integrated publishing and web design workflows with the needs and rights of Indigenous community members and authors. We will share some of RavenSpace’s collaborative approaches, and, more broadly, will discuss additional ways to build cultural considerations into editorial and design choices. Attendees are welcome to share their own examples of approaching culturally sensitive materials in a collaborative environment, as we will allow time for discussion.
More information on how to register can be found here:
