Workshop Opportunity | Copyright Awareness for Online Teaching

by Urooj Nizami

Copyright Awareness for Online Teaching Since moving to remote delivery many instructors have had to make changes in how they deliver class content and make their materials available to students. Moving resources online, posting materials to Moodle or elsewhere on the internet brings up copyright considerations. In this session you will learn: * What materials you can post online, in Moodle, or otherwise provide to your students * How much of any given material you can make available * The different ways in which you can make materials available Join Karen Meijer-Kline, Copyright Librarian, and learn about copyright, fair dealing, and open content. Join this session to have your copyright questions answered!

Open Education Research Fellow: Call for applicants

by Urooj Nizami

Open Education Research Fellow: Call for applicants Dear Colleagues, If you’re interested in research and building upon your experiences with Open Educational Resources (OER), the Open Education Research Fellowship<https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship> is for you! Receive up to $4500 in funding for this annual fellowship that runs from January 1 to December 31 and is aimed at supporting scholarly research on open educational practices by regular faculty at KPU. This may include investigations into the cost savings, perceptions, outcomes, and use of open educational resources (see the Open Education Group’s COUP framework<https://openedgroup.org/coup>) as well as research on the perceptions and impact of renewable assignments and other forms of open pedagogy. For more information and to apply by November 30, 2020 visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship Hear why open is so important to our current Research Fellow: “[Open] is a pathway for me to be student-centred for all my students because it removes financial and other barriers that might be exclusionary. By using OER and open pedagogy practices, I am working with students, amplifying their perspectives, experiences, and voices. As KPU’s inaugural Open Education Research Fellow, I am conducting one of the first studies to explore the perceptions of faculty and students towards open pedagogy, in the hopes that faculty and administrators can make informed choices about open education practices and its support.” -Melissa Ashman (Faculty of Business) Best, [logo gif] Urooj Nizami; MISt, MA (she/her) Open Education Strategist, Office of Open Education Kwantlen Polytechnic University e urooj.nizami(a)kpu.ca<mailto:urooj.nizami@kpu.ca> w www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Subscribe to the KPU Open listserv here<lists.bccampus.ca/mailman/listinfo/openkpu> Kwantlen Polytechnic University ► Where thought meets action This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

Workshop Series by Authors of Open Pedagogy Approaches

by Urooj Nizami

Authors speak to their Open Pedagogy Approaches: Faculty, Library, and Student Collaborations Today we are at a pivotal moment in history. The Covid-19 crisis has resulted in a paradigm shift on how learners of all ages, worldwide, can access learning. It is therefore more than ever essential that the global community comes together now to foster universal access to information and knowledge through [open educational resources]. -- Joint statement, Mrs. Stefania Giannini, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Education, and Mr. Moez Chakchouk, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Communication and Information (http://sli.bnu.edu.cn/uploads/soft/200518/2_1851146971.pdf) It is under this context that the fortuitously-timed release of Open Pedagogy Approaches: Faculty, Library, and Student Collaborations<https://milnepublishing.geneseo.edu/openpedagogyapproaches/> offers prime examples to educators to adjust their approach to teaching and the ways in which they involve their students in the learning process. Open Pedagogy Approaches is an open collection of case studies that highlight various interpretations of what open educational practices can mean to you and your students. While not exclusive to pandemic pedagogy or online learning, a move toward open practices seems a natural fit for the COVID age where universal access to information is essential. The author series of workshops (https://tinyurl.com/OP-author-series) will represent models from the four main sections of the book, providing educators with a taste of what's possible in their classrooms (whether physical, virtual, or hybrid) and a suggested roadmap to get there. All materials shared within the chapters are openly licensed meaning that they are free to use, revise, and remix to fit the specifics of your course design. Each 60-minute workshop will be broken into two presentations under one main topical focus, expanding the ideas that audience members can consider.
