Hello Everyone,
We have just published the date (April 16, 2018) for the next two [ https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ | Pressbooks Training webinars ] . These sessions are open to all B.C. faculty and staff.
In addition to the Introduction session, we will also be offering: Intermediate 1: How to import and export files, and make textbook copies for open textbooks created or revised in Pressbooks. The intermediate session will include Pressbooks updates such as the new cloning feature.
For faculty and staff who do not have experience using Pressbooks, it is strongly recommended that they take the Introduction webinar before the Intermediate. These two webinars are conveniently scheduled so they can be taken on the same day.
For more information and to register, please see: [ https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ | https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ ]

Open Educational Resources: Finding, Remixing, Creating
Thursday, March 8
11:30 to 1:00pm
LB 119
"Educators worldwide are developing a vast pool of educational resources on the Internet, open and free for all to use."
This quote from the Cape Town Declaration (2007) describes some of the opportunities for instructors, librarians and students creating, using and remixing Open Educational Resources (OER). In this workshop, Lucas Wright and Krista Lambert, Open Education Advisors at BCcampus, will guide you through finding, using, remixing and creating OER. Join us for this hands-on workshop to learn about:
* How to find educational resources, including images, videos and texts that are openly licensed using Creative Commons or in the Public Domain
* Creative Commons licensing and how it relates to copyright
* How to remix and use open educational content in your courses
* Considerations and approaches for licensing your own work
Please bring a laptop.
