Dear Colleagues,
This message is directed to BCcampus Open Education Key Contacts.
As you might know, BCcampus Open Education invites faculty at post-secondary institutions
in British Columbia to review the open
textbooks<https://open.bccampus.ca/use-open-textbooks/review-an-open-textbook/> in
the B.C. Open Textbook
Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/>.
Reviews posted by books in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection are intended to provide
constructive, helpful feedback for instructors contemplating the adoption of one or more
of these textbooks.
Completed reviews are recorded on the reviewer's institution page in the
Post-Secondary Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/postsecondary/> in a green textbox
called "Open textbooks reviewed by..."
Starting this month, you will be copied to the acknowledgement email sent to reviewers at
your institution once they have completed a review. These messages include the following
information for the reviewer:
* confirmation that the completed review has been received and is now posted by the
book in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection
* notification that the review content will be released with a CC BY licence
(copyright is owned by the reviewer)
* a request to fill in the Adoption of an Open
Textbook<https://open.bccampus.ca/use-open-textbooks/tell-us-youre-using-an-open-textbook/>
form if the reviewer plans to use the reviewed textbook in a course
* information about payment of the $250 honorarium for the review
If you have questions about reviews or this new step, please feel free to contact me or
Arianna Cheveldave, Open Education Coordinator.
Regards,
Lauri

For thousands of years the səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w
(Squamish), W̱SÁNEĆ, and the Songhees Nation of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) Peoples have
walked gently on the unceded territories where we now live, work, and play. We are
committed to building relationships with the first peoples here, one based in honour and
respect, and we thank them for their hospitality.
