CAUTION External Sender: Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Hello all,
Forwarding an event next week that may be of interest to you:
Open Art Histories: Three Views on Open Educational Resources
Friday, February 26, 10:00pm - 11:30pm PST
Description: Are you interested in what ArtxHistory.org founder Natalie Coletta describes as "rejecting the dominant language and scholarship that create a climate of elitism and exclusivity" in art history? Are you curious about using open educational resources (OERs) to do so? Join us for an afternoon of talks with three art historians leading the development of open access teaching materials that seek to challenge traditional textbook conventions. Leah Clark will share how Open Arts Objects, an open access platform providing free films inspires diverse audiences to understand art and visual culture while leading change in museum educational programmes and professional practice and increasing public awareness about a global approach to art history. Natalie Coletta founded the ArtxHistory portal as a means to decolonize academia, while serving students and teachers and addressing challenging topics in the areas of artistic practice, history, and critique of 20th and 21st century art. Smarthistory's Dean of Content and Strategy, Lauren Kilroy-Ewbank will speak to how the resource's free, award-winning digital content unlocks the expertise of hundreds of leading scholars making the history of art accessible and engaging to more people around the world.
Please note: This event is free, but registration is required<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flangara.z…>.

Request for Proposals: COVID-19, Online Instruction, and Open Educational Resources
KULA: Knowledge Creation, Dissemination, and Preservation Studies is requesting proposals for a forum on the shift to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. We seek commentaries and teaching reflections (especially contributions that openly share syllabi and teaching materials with the broader community) from faculty members, librarians, and other staff working at post-secondary institutions who have transitioned to and developed pedagogical materials, especially Open Educational Resources (OERs), for online instruction in the last year. How has your teaching evolved? What are the demands and challenges of the digital environment? What has worked, and what has not? How have students responded?
As a multidisciplinary journal, we encourage submissions from scholars and practitioners across disciplines, and we are interested in experiences with both synchronous and asynchronous teaching. We also welcome submissions with student collaborators.
Please submit proposals of approximately 300 words under the section “Proposals: COVID-19, Online Instruction, and Open Educational Resources” here: https://kula.uvic.ca/index.php/kula/submission/wizard<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkula.uvic…>. We are accepting proposals until March 15, 2021.
The deadline for full submissions, which will undergo blind peer review, will be May 31, 2021

Workshop: Introduction to Open Pedagogy
In this workshop, participants will learn the "who", "what", and "why" of Open Pedagogy (OP) and then have an opportunity to explore OP options and ideas that may work in their teaching environments. Break-out groups and spontaneous brainstorming will help direct the workshop activities. Participants should come somewhat prepared with an idea of a course they'd like to infuse with new pedagogical practices that better centre student discovery, expression, and experiences.
Join Melissa Ashman, Arley Cruthers, and Andrea Niosi to learn more!

Open Pedagogy is an access-oriented commitment to learner-driven education. It is also a process of designing architectures and using tools for learning that enable students to shape the public knowledge commons of which they are a part.
Open pedagogy can include creating, adapting, or updating OER with students, building course policies, outcomes, assignments, rubrics, and schedules of work collaboratively with students, or facilitating student-created and student-controlled learning environments.

Dear Colleagues,
Consider one or more opportunities to engage with open education in the New Year!
1. [Extended] Open Education Research Fellow—Now accepting applicants
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 January 29, 2021 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)
2. Open Educational Resources (OER) Grants—Now accepting applicants
Support KPU’s commitment to open education by applying to the OER Grant program.
Regular faculty can apply for up to $4000 in funding to create OER or up to $2000 to adapt existing OER!
In Spring 2020, Statistics Canada collected data from over 100,000 postsecondary students reporting on the impacts of COVID-19<https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-627-m/11-627-m2020032-eng.htm>. Forty-eight percent of students with a job reported either losing their job or being temporarily laid off. Results from a 2017 study<http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/3012/4206> of BC postsecondary institutions, including KPU, showed that 54% students did not purchase a required textbook at least once. Study after study, including at KPU<https://doi.org/10.5206/cjsotl-rcacea.2018.1.5>, has also shown that students have achieved the same or better outcomes when using OER.
Join over 400 of your colleagues who actively engage with open education by saving students money and increasing accessibility to educational resources. Participating in the OER Grant program can enrich student learning and provide an opportunity to explore your pedagogical practice in a collaborative and supportive environment.
Adapt OER by:
* Updating or localizing existing textbooks <https://libguides.kpu.ca/opentextbooks>
* Incorporating interactive components through H5P applications<https://h5p.org/content-types-and-applications>
* Developing ancillary resources (such as question banks), including collaborating with students through open pedagogical practices
Create OER by:
* Authoring new open textbooks in areas of need
* Creating open courseware, including videos, lecture slides, learning activities, and more
* Establishing open access journals
To apply and for more information visit kpu.ca/open/grants <https://www.kpu.ca/open/grants>
Applications are now open and will be accepted until January 15, 2021.
🔗<https://media.kpu.ca/media/What+are+Open+Educational+ResourcesF/0_8zhj26kp> OER are materials that are freely accessible and openly available for anyone to use, re-mix, improve and redistribute. This could include images, videos, interactive simulations, worksheets, and of course textbooks.
For more information or support with open educational practices and OER, please contact the Office of Open Education: www.kpu.ca/open/connect <https://www.kpu.ca/open/connect>
3. Cascadia 2021—Call for Proposals
