Hi there fellow Open Educators!
Thanks to all who responded to the doodle poll for the tentative meeting next week.
There wasn't a great response to the request for a meeting (I know... we are all busy) so I would like to re-schedule it to see if there are more convenient dates further along into February. So, have a look at this other poll with new dates and let us know what dates and times will work for you.
https://doodle.com/poll/sgubar5bb73rd6da
We would like to aim for a minimum of 10 participants, as we really value your input and ideas for the future of Open at BCIT, so, please see if you can find some time in your busy schedules. I may convince my husband to bake some cookies for the meeting!
We will have a webex meeting going at the same time for the folks who cannot make it physically but would like to participate from their offices/campuses. If you fall under this category, please send me an email.
Cheerio everyone,
Rosario

Subject: Open Education Working Group Strategic Direction 2019
Hello fellow Open Educators at BCIT!
And a Happy New Year to you all! Hope you managed to get some R&R during the Holiday break.
The Open Education Working group would like to invite you all to a "general" meeting to discuss the strategic direction of "open" at BCIT. As some of you remember, last year we had a general meeting to come up with action items for 2018. This year we would like to set a couple of strategic goal statements that will guide our activities for 2019. We would also like to review and update the action plan, centred around the strategic goals.
We would like to have this meeting fairly soon, so I created a Doodle Poll for the week of Jan. 21. Please have a look and choose the slots that work for you to attend:
https://doodle.com/poll/46ep6p59ckwk2s3z
Could you please complete the poll by January 15 so that we can get going with the planning? Please and thanks!
