Hello,
I would like to share the following opportunity with you. Please let me know if you have any questions, or are interested in applying!
Join the Open Education Network’s Facilitated Learning Circle on Open Pedagogy
The OEN has heard our community ask for more help understanding and using open pedagogy, so we’ve created a collaborative, resource-rich learning environment over the course of seven synchronous, one-hour sessions this spring. Join our virtual, facilitated Learning Circle to share, learn, discuss, and create open pedagogy! There is no cost for participation.
Takeaways
* Build a foundational understanding of open pedagogy to be expanded upon through activities that allow for a collaborative definition of open pedagogy.
* Discover what open pedagogy does as well as and how it can be incorporated in the classroom through exposure to a variety of engaging open pedagogy assignments.
* Gain hands-on experience with open pedagogy through creation of a renewable assignment or digital learning object.
Facilitators
The Learning Circle on Open Pedagogy will be facilitated by OEN Fellow Amanda Larson, Affordable Learning Instructional Consultant for The Ohio State University. OEN Open Educational Practices Specialist, Jamie Witman, will be available for 30-minute consultations outside of the synchronous sessions to assist you with your questions related to open pedagogy.
Spring 2023 Cohort
We are now accepting applications for a cohort of 12-18 faculty and faculty partners from OEN member institutions who are interested in learning more about open pedagogy. Applicants should be faculty (Adjuncts/instructors are welcome!) who want help transforming a disposable assignment into a renewable one. We also welcome faculty partners (librarians, instructional designers, Center for Teaching and Learning staff, etc.) interested in creating a digital learning object to illustrate open pedagogy to their faculty. Please pass this opportunity along to interested faculty/instructors!
Selection Criteria
Participants will be selected based on the following:
1. Desire to learn more about open pedagogy
2. Commitment to the creation of a renewable assignment/digital learning object
3. Ability to attend and engage in all seven sessions
4. Willingness to give feedback about the Learning Circle experience
Session Overview and Timeline
The Learning Circle experience will span seven one-hour sessions and be conducted synchronously on Zoom.

Hello!
I am passing along an opportunity that might be of interest.
OTESSA is the Open/Technology in Education, Society, and Scholarship Association<https://otessa.org/2023/>, and the 2023 conference will be held from May 27-June 2 as part of Congress 2023 (Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences)<https://www.federationhss.ca/en/congress/about-congress>. The OTESSA call for proposals has been extended to January 31, and there are opportunities to present in-person (in Toronto) and online.
Here is the invitation:
We would like to share that we have an extended Call for Proposals for participation in OTESSA 2023 due January 31st.
Only 250-500 words are needed for a research-oriented or practice-oriented proposal. If you wish to publish as well, you can submit a proceeding (1000-2000 words – or media) now or at any later date. Please make sure the new templates are used and submission information is reviewed on our conference submission portal<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconferenc…>. We also have opportunities available for people to submit full articles to the OTESSA Journal<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjournal.o…>.
Please note that we have made a precedent-making arrangement with Congress organizers (from the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences) in that we will have online-only days available within our program as well as the days hosted on campus at York University. This will be an exciting time for us to explore and experiment how to build community and connection across all participations in OTESSA 2023. Our schedule will be as follows:
May 27 – Online only sessions (and keynote)
May 28 – No sessions (gap day/travel day)
May 29/30/31 – Sessions and keynotes on site at York University (we will be making these sessions as accessible as possible through sharing of materials and audio or video streams or recordings)
June 1 – No sessions (gap day/travel day)
June 2 – Online only sessions (and keynote)
We are excited to start and close our conference together in the same mode. We welcome any of our members who wish to join a planning committee to work out particulars to contact us at conference(a)otessa.org<mailto:conference@otessa.org>. We are very proud to be creating this precedence at Congress as it will allow our members who wish to present online to be able to do so without any co-presenter-on-campus counterpart. This advances inclusion for all of our members. We received 3x the submissions for our first call and we hope to see this trend continue with our second and final call due January 31st. Approximately half of our submissions are requesting to be on site and half are requesting to be online. Please do spread the word of our final call as growing our community will help to give us the support needed to further advance our goals, systems, and operations to build out our community and advocacy for our field in ways that support both research and practice.
We would like to remind our members that registration waivers and discounts are available, so please do not let financial resources block your participation in OTESSA. For information, please reach out to conference(a)otessa.org<mailto:conference@otessa.org>
Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing you at OTESSA 2023!

Link to Resource: The Ancient and Medieval World – Simple Book Publishing (pressbooks.pub)<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/ancientandmedievalworld/>
The Ancient & Medieval World is a collaborative, open educational resource designed to help students better understand a world long removed from their contemporary experience. The text uses a modular format where students are provided with a brief introduction to each theme, several primary sources, interpretive material written by subject-matter experts, relevant maps and timelines, and visual sources, as well as a glossary of unfamiliar terms. Each module can be used as the foundation of a course assignment or thematic lesson.
