Lauri and all at BC Campus,


I just took a look at the new Philosophy text. Wow. Your versions and access to editable sources is amazing. Thank you for tour continual improvement and challenges to the status quo. You all are providing tremendous service to OER.


Thank you!!

Subject: [OpenStax Institutional Partner Listserv] BCcampus OpenEd: Jan 9/18 - new books and updates
 
Hello Everyone,

We've added two new books and one new ancillary resource, as well as, a few updates. Please see below.

This new textbook, published by the Rebus Community, is designed for students in graduate-level nursing and education programs. Its intent is to recognize the significant role the literature review plays in the research process and to prepare students for the work that goes into writing one.

This collection of original source readings by philosophers who originated many of the issues we discuss today was written by TRU faculty member Jeff  McLaughlin and was produced with funds from a BCcampus Open Education OER Grant. Major areas of philosophy covered are Ethics, Epistemology, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Religion, Ethics, Socio-Political Philosophy, and Aesthetics.

This unique open course which is the result of a collaboration between seven colleges and BCcampus Open Education, and funded in part by an OER Grant. Authored by Mary Shier and Allison Schubert from College of the Rockies, it is at the provincial ABE level (grade 12 equivalent) and can be used as an elective course towards the BC Adult Grad Diploma. Three file formats are provided (D2L, Moodle, Common Cartridge) so the course can be downloaded into a learning management system.

Other news

We have added the following new categories to the B.C. Open Textbook Collection:
  •  "Engineering" sub-category to the "Sciences" category 
  • "Education" as a main category and "Early Childhood Education" as sub-category
Pressbooks updates are now available on the BCcampus Open Ed website (open.bccampus.ca) under https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-updates/

Lauri
