[Openbcit] OER just released by University of Hawaii

Hello fellow open educators at BCIT! Please see the message shared by colleagues from University of Hawaii. If you are thinking of starting your own Open Textbook, I’d recommend the OER Training book highlighted below. Looks really great! Cheers, Rosario ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Aloha All- We are proud to share out another batch of OER textbooks created by instructors and faculty at the University of Hawaii. Please share with your networks that may be interested in the subject matter and/or the content. Each text is available under a CC BY license and in a range of file formats (PDF, XML, ePub, etc) for download and reuse in whichever way best suits instructors and learners. Mahalo to the Pressbooks and Rebus Foundation teams for their continued development of free software and collaborative processes for developing these books. http://oer.hawaii.edu/september-2018-uh-oer-releases-communicology-building… Of special interest to many on this list in my own OER Training Manual, the Pressbook used to support instructors at UH who wish to get up to speed with OER quickly. Clear learning objectives are identified at the beginning of each of the three chapters, with formative practice/assessment items embedded right into the online version of the book. Gold stars await those who answer correctly. I encourage others (that's you!) to reuse the OER training manual and share back your own improvement and iterations. Your pal in the open space, Billy -- Billy Meinke, MEd Open Educational Resources (OER) Technologist Outreach College, Dean's Office University of Hawai'i at Mānoa oer.hawaii.edu<https://oer.hawaii.edu> --
