Events during Open Education Week

by Rosario Passos

Hi there fellow Open Educators! Here's an invite for one of the events that UBC will be hosting during Open Education Week. Sounds really interesting :) Hope some of you can make it, and please share widely within your networks Rosario __________________________________________________ The First Nations and Indigenous Studies Program and UBC Library will be hosting an Honouring Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipe…> on March 2nd from 1-4pm at the Sty-Wet-Tan Hall in the First Nations Longhouse at UBC Vancouver campus. Wikipedia is a multilingual, web-based, free encyclopedia based on a model of open community-generated knowledge. This edit-a-thon is seeking to improve the coverage of Indigenous writers on Wikipedia and to encourage diverse community editors to actively work to dissuade assumptions about Indigenous literature by raising their profile in this increasingly influential information source. Attendees will pick authors from a list of Indigenous authors who have approved their inclusion in this event and edit/create their Wikipedia articles. The event is free, catered, and features guest speakers who will share their experiences as Indigenous authors. Please bring your own laptop. Event page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/HonouringIndigenousWriters/U…<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipe…> If you are interested in developing your own Honouring Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, we would love to support you in this work. You can find the planning materials here: https://t.co/yIyk1QF2E0?amp=1<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FyI…> Please let us know of your interest!

A good way to start the year thinking about Open Pedagogy

by Rosario Passos

Hello there fellow Open Educators! And a very happy 2020 to you! I didn't want to share this article in December as I thought it would get lost in the long list of emails you would all be clearing upon your return to work early in 2020... :) but here it goes now, and I hope you find a little bit of time to read it. This article explores how open educators are using open pedagogy (the use of OER and OEP to stimulate autonomous learning and engage students as creators of information) to change "...their teaching and learning in a practical way." The article reports on research carried out in Post-Secondary institutions in BC to explore "...how faculty are beginning to use open technologies and knowledge in ways that impact their pedagogy." I hope you enjoy the reading: Practicalities of implementing open pedagogy in higher education<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40561-019-0110-5> Cheers, Rosario [rosario.jpg] Rosario Passos Instructional Development Consultant (IDC) Learning and Teaching Centre British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) 3700 Willingdon Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5G 3H2 Tel: (604) 456 1266 rosario_passos(a)bcit.ca<mailto:rosario_passos@bcit.ca> www.bcit.ca/ltc Education for a Complex World Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail
