Dear colleagues,
BCcampus has recently released an expression of interest regarding the development of open courses<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/expression-of-interest-devel…>.
BCcampus would like to add further open courses to the open online course collection<https://collection.bccampus.ca/> that align with open textbooks currently in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection. We are looking for B.C. applicants who have developed, adapted, or adopted an open textbook in our B.C. Open Textbook Collection to develop a new open course, or adapt an existing open course, that accompanies the textbook.
This expression of interest is for individuals, groups, or institutions and their representatives (e.g., faculty members, articulation committees, teaching and learning centres, libraries, and OER working groups) in B.C. and the Yukon that are interested in developing or adapting open courses aligned with open textbooks available in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/>.
Note that there is no deadline for applications, as this is an ongoing call.
Estimated completion time: Four months
Grant amount: Up to $8000 per course. Three options:
* $2000 for an existing course that requires little modification
* $5000 for an adaption or major revision of an existing course
* $8000 for development of a new course
Applications will be evaluated by an internal review committee based on the following criteria:
* Experience: Applicants have experience developing OER in B.C. post-secondary education. Preference will be given to applicants who have already developed or adapted an open textbook in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection.
* Plan for timeline of completion of work.
* A realistic budget for the scope of work
To learn more about this opportunity, visit the expression of interest page<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/expression-of-interest-devel…>. To apply for this opportunity, fill out the application form linked on the EOI page and email it to Melanie Meyers at mmeyers(a)bccampus.ca.

Dear colleagues,
The Open Education Working Group (OEWG)<https://www.kpu.ca/open/oewg> brings together key stakeholders from across the institution to provide advice and support for KPU’s open education initiatives, which include the creation, adaptation, and adoption of open educational resources, the development of Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) programs, and the embrace of innovative open pedagogies. The OEWG meets once a semester when it adjudicates KPU’s OER Grant program<https://www.kpu.ca/open/grants>, but conducts most of its activities asynchronously in between those meetings.
As the term of one of our current faculty representatives is soon coming to an end, this is a call for expressions of interest from faculty who would like to join this dynamic group for a two-year term. To read more about the mandate, composition, and operating procedures of this group, please visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/oewg
Please submit all expressions of interest to open(a)kpu.ca<mailto:open@kpu.ca> by Friday, November 12, 2021.
Very best,

The below message is sent on behalf of the primary investigator, Deirdre Maultsaid, School of Business.
Dear Colleagues:
I am Deirdre Maultsaid, the KPU Open Education Research Fellow, 2021 and am doing a research project on care and open pedagogy, at the following four British Columbia institutions: Douglas, KPU, Langara and TRU (Ethics ID: H21-01455).
I am recruiting students and hope that you can make an announcement to your students at the above four institutions. Can you please disseminate the attached invitation or embedded invitation to students to participate in the research focus groups. Please only disseminate the message to students via email, not by posting it into your Learning Management System as using your LMS is not approved by ethics boards, for lots of good reasons.
You do not have to promote or advocate for this research; you can simply send the approved invitation. Not to worry, when students go to the link, there is a full consent process before they participate.
Any questions, Deirdre.maultsaid(a)kpu.ca<mailto:Deirdre.maultsaid@kpu.ca>
Thank you so much for helping to disseminate this invitation.
*MESSAGE TO STUDENTS:*
[cidimage005.jpg(a)01D7AFC1.106DCFE0]
Students: Please help us find out if creating open pedagogy inspires you to care more.
Please join a voluntary focus group with students from Douglas, KPU, Langara, and TRU in order to help create free and open learning materials. You will attend two to three group sessions of 2.5 hours each, to create cases for class discussions. Your initial questionnaire, focus group and reflections on the process will be analyzed to see if the process of students creating learning materials encourages you to care more for yourself, other students, teachers and the postsecondary community. You could be acknowledged by name as a co-author of the open resource/book, which will be used in BC and beyond. You will have helped to create caring, relevant, ethical study materials. Also, you will receive a $30 gift card. Please click the link below to provide your contact information, to answer a few questions in order to create your profile and to give your consent to the research project.

Link to Resources: Introduction to Consumer Behaviour<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=42…> & Ancillary Resource Guide<https://opentextbc.ca/ancillaryconsumerbehaviour/>
This open textbook was designed for students studying business or marketing at an undergraduate level. It draws on the fields of marketing, business, communications, media studies, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. The book invites readers to examine the internal forces that shape consumer decision making, such as perceptions, motivations, personality, and attitudes as well as the external ones, such as social and situational influences, culture, and subcultures. This text centres the lived experiences of today’s consumers, specifically, undergraduate students. The author has also made efforts to decentre whiteness and dominant culture perspectives wherever possible to ensure a broader and more accurate representation of diverse consumers.
This OER contains content created by students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University and is best used alongside the Ancillary Resource Guide<https://opentextbc.ca/ancillaryconsumerbehaviour/> that contains several essays, case studies, assignments, and project outlines, and an accompanying multiple choice test bank.

Dear colleagues,
I am writing to let you know about a BCcampus expression of interest request regarding the development of open courses<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbccampus.…>.
In summer 2020, BCcampus began creating a collection of open courses<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcollectio…> to assist instructors and course developers in creating and updating their courses, particularly while transitioning from in-person teaching to online. The collection currently contains nine full courses that are openly licensed and ready for use.
We are looking for B.C. applicants who have developed, adapted, or adopted an open textbook in our B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.bcca…> to develop a new open course, or adapt an existing open course, that accompanies the textbook.
Up to $8000 is available per grant, depending on how much work is required.
Deadline for submissions is September 20, 2021.
Read the expression of interest for more information. If you have any questions, please contact Melanie Meyers at mmeyers(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:mmeyers@bccampus.ca>.
