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.

Designing Open Resources, Strategies, and Approaches
Date: February 27th, 12 :00 - 1:00 pm
Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm

Students are advocates and supporters of open education, creating, adapting and sharing resources, using open technologies and getting involved in projects to build awareness among their peers. In this webinar, we will be bringing together students from across the BC Post Secondary System who are supporting open education projects and together we’ll explore what we can learn as contributors to these projects. We’ll also explore varied practices and approaches for creating well-designed, accessible and open content.
By attending this webinar you will learn and discuss:
* How students in BC are supporting Open Education projects.
* How open education supports learning
* Ways of designing and developing content using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) that is accessible and focused on the user experiences.
* Approaches to making content open, findable and re-usable.
