Hello Everyone,
We have just published the date (October 3) for the next [ https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ | Pressbooks Training webinars ] . These sessions are open to all B.C. faculty and staff.
In addition to the Introduction session, we will also be offering a third more advanced session: Intermediate 3 which will talk about how and when to cite and attribute elements for authors working on open textbooks in Pressbooks, along with where to find openly licensed resources.This intermediate session is the third in a series that we're developing on issues beyond introductory topics.
For faculty and staff who do not have experience using Pressbooks, it is strongly recommended that they take the Introduction webinar before the Intermediate. These two webinars are conveniently scheduled so they can be taken on the same day.
For more information and to register, please see: [ https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ | https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ ]

This book describes approaches to capacity promotion that respond to the complexities and possibilities of communities—at local and country levels. These initiatives challenge established developmental narratives in ECD and international development, and in so doing provide alternative ways for scholars and practitioners in ECD, education, and the broad international development field to enhance capacities.
HEALTH
Made in British Columbia
[ https://dspace.library.uvic.ca/handle/1828/7814 | Handbook of eHealth Evaluation: An Evidence-based Approach ]
This handbook presents the science and practice of eHealth evaluation based on empirical evidence gathered over many years within the health informatics discipline. The handbook describes different approaches used to evaluate the planning, design, implementation, use and impact of eHealth systems in different health settings. It also provides a snapshot of the current state of knowledge on the consequences of opting for eHealth systems with respect to their effects and implications on provider performance and health outcomes.

This website-based course from Judith DeGroot and Sharon Leitch, Health Care Assistant Program instructors at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Vancouver, explores how individuals can live a fully engaged, productive, and satisfying life with dementia.

Canadian (Alberta)
[ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=16301119-8ec4-4241-b0f7-… | Business Math: A Step-by-Step Handbook ]
Business math is the study of mathematics required by the field of business. This textbook covers taxes, gross earnings, product prices, and currency exchange; loans, lines of credit, mortgages, leases, savings bonds, and other financial tools. It also discusses how to execute smart monetary decisions both personally and for their business.
There are two versions for this book: The "Basic Edition" and the "Premium Edition." While they cover the same content, the Premium Edition includes additional features such as Excel integration, Excel templates, Excel screenshots, along with lots of extra visuals and graphics to help student wrap their heads around the numbers, procedures, and concepts that they work with. The Basic Edition does not include Excel and those extra visuals and graphics in order to streamline the book.

This book is not be about giving students all the answers to every situation they may encounter when they start their first job or as they continue up the career ladder. Instead, this book gives students the vocabulary, framework, and critical thinking skills necessary to diagnose situations, ask tough questions, evaluate the answers received, and to act in an effective and ethical manner regardless of situational characteristics.

Subject: Re: EdX Intro to Open Ed course
There's a terrific open course by the Scotland OEPS/Open University UK team called "Becoming an Open Educator" it's self-directed but you could design your own community of practice cohort. It's a great introduction for those that are new to OER and OEP (Open Educational Practices). The Introduction to Open Education edX course was a bit of a disappointment in terms of content and learning (in my opinion). It wasn't well facilitated and the community, in terms of discussion within and outside of the course, was not very engaged.
CC is still fine tuning their training. We here in Ontario are keeping an eye on the opportunities with that and would be glad to collaborate with anything in the region that gets underway!

Hi there everyone,
This is a great resource that lists open textbook adoptions in Colleges and Universities, organized by course. So you can see what other institutions are doing when it comes to using OER in their courses and saving students money. If you see a course similar to what you are teaching, have a look at what OpenTextbook they are using. Maybe you can review it and consider it for adoption yourself in the future ☺

Rosario

Of course, I also think it would be great! If we're all doing similar work, why not put it in the same place? (Can you tell I'm a librarian?)
In leading the OER initiative at Bay Path without a grant to jump-start things, it's become important to demonstrate the successes of OER at other institutions to help with buy-in from faculty and administrators. It would be a lot of work, but very worthwhile, I think.

Hi Kelsey. I think a Google spreadsheet could work. What would be helpful if we could create a mini site that is tied to a basic database so visitors could search by course title or discipline and the location of the college.

If you are able to share some of discipline-specific information with me, I think it would go a long way in convincing folks here that OER works for diverse populations, especially in the sciences.

Subject: Reminder: Free CCCOER webinar on Wednesday
Dear CCCOER community,
Happy Monday? This is just a reminder that CCCOER will have the third webinar in our Fall Back-to-Basics series this Wednesday, November 15th, at 11 am PST/ 2 pm EST. This month's free and open webinar is, "How OER Can Student Equity and Diversity." We will hear from three speakers who will tell us how open education resources, policies, and practices can create equitable learning experiences for all students through the development of culturally relevant learning experiences.
Once again, a more in-depth description and the registration link are included below, or you can view it on our website at:

According to the Glossary of Education Reform, equity refers to the principle of fairness in education. Inequities occur when biased or unfair policies, programs, practices, or situations contribute to a lack of equality in educational performance, results, and outcomes. The development and use of open educational resources has the potential to create equitable learning experiences for all students. Open education is deeply rooted in the belief that teachers have the freedom to develop content that meets the needs of their students.
Join us for this webinar to hear the ways in which colleges can consider issues of equity when designing and delivering OER courses and degree programs. Presenters will share how open educational resources, policies, and practices can support equity and diversity through the development of culturally relevant learning experiences that emphasize inclusion and celebrate diversity.

We are looking for people with a PhD in philosophy, ideally with teaching experience at the first-year level. PhD students in philosophy may also be considered as authors, or can contribute in other ways to the book.
Interested faculty or PhD students can sign-up using the links above . Each chapter will be around 3000 words. Alternatively, if you would like to write about a section that is not listed, we can discuss the possibility of additions.
You can find more information about the project here: [ https://forum.rebus.community/topic/204/project-summary | https://forum.rebus.community/topic/204/project-summary ]
The Rebus Community is looking for forward-thinking academics, students, and citizens to come help us reimagine publishing and its impacts on education.
We are currently working towards releasing the first few parts of the textbook, which will cover core concepts in Western philosophy and other traditions, with faculty joining us from institutions across North America, Africa, and Europe. The book will be freely available to students and faculty and openly licensed to enable reuse.
