Dear colleagues,
I am writing to let you know about online office hours offered by BCcampus to educators in need of support shifting from face-to-face to online instruction. We are offering three sessions this week, the details of which are included below.
Working Together, Learning Together
Invitation: To educators and anyone doing the work of “pivoting online” who would like to drop in with questions, and/or to hear others’ challenges and solutions.
Who is hosting: BCcampus — a passionate group of instructional designers, learning technologists, administrators, and more!
And why… We feel the enormous challenge you are facing today and in the weeks to come. We want to offer support, particularly to institutions and educators without access to a large teaching and learning support team.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
* Human Support/Communications
* Exams Online
* Experiential Learning Online
Expectation setting: We cannot offer or replace institution-specific supports, but we CAN talk through challenges like:
* I have an in-class final exam worth 30% – what could I do instead?
* My students are freaking out and I can’t keep up with the messages – what can I try?
* I want to do a live online session but I’ve never done that before – what can I do?
* I have this assignment … I’m not sure how to do it online – do you have ideas?
Join us for one or both sessions:
* March 24, 2020 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm<https://urls.bccampus.ca/6rg>
* March 27, 2020 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am<https://urls.bccampus.ca/6rh>
Starting at ground zero?
Join us for the super-duper basics of online learning AKA no dumb questions session.This drop-in is for folx who are completely new to the online teaching world. There are no dumb questions. We will try and cover the basics of online learning while giving you the space to ask your questions. March 25, 2020 @ 12:30 pm – 1:15 pm<https://urls.bccampus.ca/6ri>
Best,

Hi Jennifer,
Hope brought this to my attention and I'm wondering it you want to advertise this event to the Open Douglas people. The email address for the BCcampus Open Douglas is opendouglas(a)mail.bccampus.ca<mailto:opendouglas@mail.bccampus.ca>
Or I can do that if you prefer.
I'm sorry that I can't go because I'm teaching at Coquitlam that day at 12:30 :(

Dear colleagues,
BCcampus has identified gaps in available open educational resources (OER) for marketing programs in British Columbia. BCcampus will distribute grants to B.C. institutions or their representatives (e.g., faculty members, articulation committees, teaching and learning centres, libraries, and OER working groups) in B.C. and the Yukon for the development of open educational resources in marketing that will contribute to the development of B.C.’s first Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) program in marketing. The OER Creation for Marketing grant may be used for, but is not limited to, the creation of open textbooks/ancillaries/open educational resources in the following subject areas:
* Research methods for marketing
* Consumer behaviour
* Strategic marketing management
* Integrated marketing communication
* E-marketing/digital marketing
* Marketing plan development guide
Full details can be found here (closing date is February 7):

Hi folks,
My apologies for cross posting the below reminder which you may have already received through your Faculty's Admin Officer.
I wanted to encourage you all specifically to submit any open educational resources that you've authored, co-authored, or remixed over the past two years. It would be wonderful to be able to celebrate OER authors her at Douglas as part of this event!
Have a great weekend!
Cheers,
Trish
