Hi there fellow Open Educators,
If any of you is interested in collaborating with Krista from U of Alberta on an event for Open Education Week 2022, get in touch with her:
___________________________________________________________________
Hello Everyone!
I'm starting to plan a schedule of events for the University of Alberta's Open Education Symposium. It will be a series of events throughout Open Education Week (Mar 7-11, 2022).
I'm looking to do some collaborative sessions with other institutions. The University of Alberta would handle the registration, Zoom hosting, facilitation support, and edit/post the recording. I would ask that we do a joint-introduction to the session and you are welcome to put the registration and zoom on your institution's website, if you wish, to promote as a partnership with UofA rather than sending them to the UofA website.
So far, we have a series of lunch-hour lightning talks (3-4 presenters in a 1hr session) being planned with University of Alberta, University of Calgary, and Thompson Rivers University. A growing list of topics we would like to deliver include:
* Evaluating the quality of open pedagogies
* OER speed-dating!
* Open EdTech - tools review
* open and participatory technologies
* Pressbooks, H5P, and using them in class
* "Do open pedagogies have to be either open or closed? What is in the middle?"
* ZTC - common barriers when implementing (course-level)
* Universal design, OER, and course design
* Demo: How to change your course to incorporate OER
If you're interested in collaborating, I would love to hear from you!
Thanks,
--

Dear colleagues,
BCcampus has recently released an expression of interest regarding the development of open courses<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/expression-of-interest-devel…>.
BCcampus would like to add further open courses to the open online course collection<https://collection.bccampus.ca/> that align with open textbooks currently in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection. We are looking for B.C. applicants who have developed, adapted, or adopted an open textbook in our B.C. Open Textbook Collection to develop a new open course, or adapt an existing open course, that accompanies the textbook.
This expression of interest is for individuals, groups, or institutions and their representatives (e.g., faculty members, articulation committees, teaching and learning centres, libraries, and OER working groups) in B.C. and the Yukon that are interested in developing or adapting open courses aligned with open textbooks available in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/>.
Note that there is no deadline for applications, as this is an ongoing call.
Estimated completion time: Four months
Grant amount: Up to $8000 per course. Three options:
* $2000 for an existing course that requires little modification
* $5000 for an adaption or major revision of an existing course
* $8000 for development of a new course
Applications will be evaluated by an internal review committee based on the following criteria:
* Experience: Applicants have experience developing OER in B.C. post-secondary education. Preference will be given to applicants who have already developed or adapted an open textbook in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection.
* Plan for timeline of completion of work.
* A realistic budget for the scope of work
To learn more about this opportunity, visit the expression of interest page<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/expression-of-interest-devel…>. To apply for this opportunity, fill out the application form linked on the EOI page and email it to Melanie Meyers at mmeyers(a)bccampus.ca.
If you have any questions about this opportunity, please contact Melanie Meyers.

Through foundational concepts and frameworks, this course examines entrepreneurship as a process including: entrepreneurial identity, opportunity creation and evaluation, mobilizing resources, and growth. The course is designed around the major stages in this process, and an overview of factors that are key to entrepreneurial success is provided. This resource is rich in multimedia content including video and H5P interactive activities.

Hi there fellow open educators!
This is a great open resource to guide decision making around asynchronous teaching and learning. I thought some of you might be interested in looking at it.
Teaching Resource:
The Asynchronous Cookbook was developed to reduce instructor decision fatigue - a collaborative and open textbook for faculty: useful concepts, practical learning activities.

Hi there fellow open educators!
The call is now open for Open Education Grant proposals and will close October 18. You can find details about the call for proposals here:
https://www.bcit.ca/open/grants/
Due to budget constraints this year, funding will be limited for this call and individual grant funding will be up to $5,000. The Open Education Working group will first consider proposals from applicants who have not already received an open education grant.
Please share this information widely across your networks at BCIT!
Cheers,
Rosario

Hello fellow open educators.

Dear colleagues,
This message is sent on behalf of Anahita Rezaei, Open Education & Advocacy Specialist, Centrum Cyfrowe.
Open Education Policy Forum is coming back on September 15-16 for the sixth time (and online, too). We are looking forward to seeing you at the end of the summer to discuss the “Universe of Openness,” but today, we are excited to announce an Open Call for two key events that will be held during the Forum:
* Lightning talks – presentation of the most inspiring Open Education initiatives from the time of the pandemic [September 15]. In the tradition of exchanging the best practices from Open Education, we’re seeking inspiring initiatives. Have you completed a project or started an inspirational initiative within OE Policy in the past year and are you willing to share it with the Open Education community? If so, we’re looking for you! You’ll have up to 7 minutes to present your project to the world.
* Workshops for policy makers and OE activists [September 16]. In small groups of up to 15 participants, where every person can be heard and bring their unique perspective and experience, we want to talk about the future of Open Education. Our goal is to create realistic and achievable guidelines for the OE community in three areas:
* Designing the future of open education policy based on know-how and good practices
* New concepts & perspectives for the study on copyright for education
* Open Education for Green & Climate Education
Key dates
Deadline for submission to lightning talks and workshops: August 15
Publication of results: August 17
Registration<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…>
About the Forum. Open Education Policy Forum is an international conference organised by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation in cooperation with Communia Association, Hewlett Foundation, Intellectual Property Institute, OEGlobal, Otwarte Zasoby and SPARC Europe. Once a year, we bring together stakeholders (activists, researchers, teachers, policy makers) from around the world to exchange good practices and discuss challenges and opportunities faced by the Open Education community. We want to provide an opportunity for networking, exchange of knowledge and future collaborations.
“The Universe of Openness” – about the upcoming edition of the Forum. Open Education initiatives have been expanding extraordinarily since 2020. Resources, institutions and infrastructure built on the OE model provide resilience to educational systems at the beginning of remote education. The pandemic time has redefined “openness” in education. Now, with so many various projects in progress, we want to ask the following: how can the OE community maintain this growth? And how can we expand, explore and improve it in the upcoming future?
The conference will open with the premiere of a new pan-European study “Remote education during the pandemic: teachers perspective” conducted by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation and Communia Association.
