[Openkpu] Call for applications: Teaching Fellow in Open Education

Good morning everyone, I am delighted to share the Teaching & Learning Commons’ call for applications for a Teaching Fellow in Open Education. Teaching Fellows provide an educational development leadership opportunity for KPU faculty members. They are seconded from their respective faculty appointments through partial time releases. There are two Teaching Fellow positions posted at the moment, one focused on Interculturalization & Internationalization, and the other on Open Education. The responsibilities of the Open Education Teaching Fellow will include: 1. Supporting the creation, adaptation, and adoption of open educational resources (OER) within their program area, with an eventual goal of developing and launching a new Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) program. 2. Providing hands-on support for faculty, including for discovering relevant OER, Pressbooks training, and other support as needed. 3. Creating or adapting OER as needed to support the ZTC program development, following the principles outlined in the BC Open Textbook Accessibility Toolkit. 4. Participating actively in open education events at KPU. 5. Communicating and share work with the KPU community. For more details and the application process, please see: https://www.kpu.ca/teaching-and-learning/teaching-fellow-applications Submit your application to tlcommons@kpu.ca<mailto:tlcommons@kpu.ca> by 8 AM, Friday, October 11, 2019.
