Hello BCOEL, BCcampus is looking at retiring its MediaWiki website (https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca<https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca/index.php/Category:BCOER>) due to its aging software. In the past BCOEL/BCOER has posted information on this site: https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca/index.php/Category:BCOER. Before BCcampus makes a final decision, we want to give BCOEL a chance to retrieve its information. Please let me know if you need to do this. If so, how long do you need.

FW: CARL issues statement on Open Education – L'ABRC publie une déclaration sur l'éducation ouverte

From: This list is for a cross institution working group on open education. <CARL-OEWG(a)LISTS.UBC.CA> On Behalf Of Lise Brin Sent: November-14-19 9:49 AM To: CARL-OEWG(a)LISTS.UBC.CA Subject: CARL issues statement on Open Education – L'ABRC publie une déclaration sur l'éducation ouverte Please note and share widely – Nous vous avisons de l’annonce suivant. Veuillez partager librement. --- November 14, 2019 – The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) has released a statement on open education. CARL believes that the mission of universities is to create and disseminate knowledge, and that an open scholarship system that is accessible to all readers offers the surest path towards positively impacting human life on all parts of the globe. CARL further believes that opening all forms of scholarship to wide scrutiny enhances quality, increases accountability and promotes collaboration – thus leading to higher visibility and impact. Open education practices align well with these principles, as they reduce barriers to education, leverage technology to improve teaching and learning, and can result in high quality learning experiences. > Read the full CARL Statement on Open Education (PDF)<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/CARL_statement_OE-3.pdf> ---- 14 novembre 2019 – L’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada (ABRC) a publié une déclaration sur l'éducation ouverte. L’ABRC est d’avis que les universités ont pour mission de créer et de diffuser des connaissances, et qu’un système d’érudition ouverte disponible à tous constitue la meilleure façon d’avoir une incidence positive sur la vie humaine dans toutes les régions du monde. L’ABRC croit en outre que le fait de soumettre toutes les formes d’érudition ouverte à un examen approfondi améliore la qualité, renforce la responsabilisation, favorise la collaboration et accroît ainsi la visibilité et l’impact. Les pratiques en matière d’éducation ouverte s’harmonisent bien avec ces principes, car elles réduisent les obstacles à l’éducation, tirent parti de la technologie pour améliorer l’enseignement et l’apprentissage, et peuvent se traduire par des expériences d’apprentissage de grande qualité. > Accéder au texte intégral de la Déclaration de l’ABRC sur l'éducation ouverte (PDF)<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ABRC_déclaration_OE-1.p…> -- Lise Brin, MLIS Program Officer / Agente de programme [cid:image001.png(a)01D30653.78740D00] Canadian Association of Research Libraries Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada 309 rue Cooper Street, Suite 203 Ottawa Ontario K2P 0G5 T 902.318.4485 E lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca> W www.carl-abrc.ca<http://www.carl-abrc.ca> [cid:image002.png(a)01D30653.78740D00]@carlabrc ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CARL-OEWG list, please click here.<https://lists.ubc.ca/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=CARL-OEWG&A=1> Further information about the UBC Mailing Lists service can be found on the UBC IT website.

Banner/promotional material help
by Brenda Smith 02 Oct '19

02 Oct '19

Hi all, I have been asked to have a table to promote open education on behalf of our campus Open Education Working Group at our upcoming campus open house for prospective students and their parents. I have been told that I can have a stand up banner and other small promotional material created for it. Does anyone have any suggestions re: what kind of information I should include on it so that it can be used multiple times? Suggested images? Pictures of what you use at your campus to give me ideas? Places to look at existing "displays"? Other stuff that I haven't mentioned, but you think might be applicable? Thanks, Brenda ___________________________________________________________ Brenda Smith Open Education Librarian Liaison Librarian for: Architectural & Engineering Technology (ARET); Open Learning; Philosophy, History & Politics University Library Thompson Rivers University 805 TRU Way Kamloops, BC V2C 0C8 Tel: (250) 828-5098 Fax: (250) 828-5313 Email: brsmith(a)tru.ca<mailto:brsmith(a)tru.ca> www.tru.ca/library<http://www.tru.ca/library>

CARL webinar – webinaire de l'ABRC : How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER
by Fields, Erin 02 Oct '19

02 Oct '19

Bilingual message – message bilingue -------- [cid:image001.png(a)01D57920.E37508B0] CARL’s Open Education Working Group wants to share this opportunity for you to engage with the following professional development opportunity around Open Education. Further webinars will be announced very soon. How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER http://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/free-webinar-inclusive-and-accessible-oer/ Date: October 16, 2019 Time: 10am PST | 1pm EST Registration: https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca<https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca/> Please note that although this presentation will be in English, slides will be made available in both English and French. In this webinar, we will talk about how to design OER so they are more inclusive and accessible for all students. This will include an overview of the technical considerations of digital accessibility. For example, what are the minimum technical requirements that ensure students with print disabilities can access and navigate through the resource? We will also look at how inclusive design practices can help us create educational materials that are more versatile and useful for students. For example, what does an accessible resource look like for a student with no personal computer? Or a student with a learning disability that makes reading difficult? Ultimately, students can be very different from each other, and what may work for one student may not work for another. But by designing for those differences, we can create educational materials that are more useful, powerful, and accessible to all. Presenter’s Bio Josie Gray<mailto:josie.gray(a)bccampus.ca> is the Coordinator of Collection Quality on the Open Education team at BCcampus. She manages the B.C. Open Textbook Collection and provides training and support for B.C. faculty publishing open textbooks in Pressbooks. Josie has been learning about and teaching accessibility best practices in OER for three years and has recently started her MDes in Inclusive Design at OCAD University. If you have any questions, please contact Erin Fields, CARL Visiting Program Officer for Open Education (erin.fields(a)ubc.ca<mailto:erin.fields(a)ubc.ca>) or Lise Brin, Program Officer at CARL (lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca>). More information about CARL OEWG can be found on the CARL Open Education webpage<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-edu…>. ---- [cid:image002.png(a)01D57920.E37508B0] Le Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC souhaite vous inviter à participer à l’occasion de perfectionnement professionnel suivante se rapportant à l’éducation ouverte. Le reste de la série de webinaires sera annoncée sous peu. How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER [Comment créer des REL inclusives et accessibles] http://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/nouvelles/webinaire-gratuit-rel-inclusives-et-ac… Date : Le 16 octobre 2019 Heure : 10 h HNP | 13 h HNE Inscription : https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca<https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca/> Bien que la présentations se fera en anglais, les diapositives seront disponibles en anglais et en français. Au cours de ce webinaire, nous discuterons de la façon de concevoir des ressources éducatives libres (REL) afin qu’elles soient plus inclusives et plus accessibles pour tous les étudiants. Un aperçu des considérations techniques de l’accessibilité numérique sera présenté. Par exemple, quelles sont les exigences techniques minimales qui permettent aux étudiants incapables de lire les imprimés d’accéder à la ressource et de s’y retrouver? Nous examinerons également en quoi les pratiques de conception inclusive peuvent nous aider à créer du matériel pédagogique plus polyvalent et plus utile pour les étudiants. Par exemple, à quoi ressemble une ressource accessible pour un étudiant qui n’a pas d’ordinateur personnel? Ou pour un étudiant ayant un trouble d’apprentissage qui rend la lecture plus difficile? En fin de compte, les étudiants peuvent être très différents les uns des autres, et ce qui convient à l’un peut ne pas convenir à l’autre. Mais, en procédant à la conception en fonction de ces différences, nous pouvons créer du matériel pédagogique plus utile, plus puissant et plus accessible à tous. Biographie de la présentatrice Josie Gray<mailto:josie.gray(a)bccampus.ca> est coordonnatrice de la qualité des collections au sein de l’équipe de l’éducation ouverte à BCcampus. Elle veille à la gestion de la collection de manuels en libre accès en Colombie-Britannique, en plus d’offrir formation et soutien au personnel enseignant de la C.-B. qui publie des manuels en libre accès dans la plateforme Pressbooks. Depuis trois ans, Josie apprend au sujet des meilleures pratiques en matière d’accessibilité aux REL et les enseigne. De plus, elle vient d’entamer sa maîtrise en conception inclusive à l’OCAD University.

Fw: [LibOER] Fwd: Cataloging OER: MARC & OPAC optimization

Here’s a link to our OER MARC Template<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qRvWqGdrRw11zpKDVMWZWM4BIstAN6frkla…> – please share with your catalogers and systems librarians! This initially started because we have a collection development policy to add anything to our collection that’s published by our faculty. There’s no reason this should exclude OER, but not having MARC fields to highlight the open content was a barrier to discovery. So we decided to solve that through local cataloging rules that track and display the following: • 2 subject headings that indicate a resource is OER (653_6<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd653.html>: uncontrolled genre/form terms): OER and Open educational resources • Attribution Statement which includes the license type (540<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd540.html>: terms governing use and reproduction) • Relationship between print and electronic versions of the same OER (776<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd776.html>: Additional physical form) • Funding source, if the OER was created on a specific grant • Link to original and derivative works (787<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd787.html>: Other relationship entry) • Course outcomes (sometimes difficult to ascertain without speaking with the author) • OER revision/remix statement – a note from the author explaining how the derivative differs from the original For a detailed explanation of what, how, and why we did this, see our recent article “Leveraging Cataloging and Collection Development Expertise to Improve OER Discovery” OLA Quarterly, Vol. 25, No. 1 (2019)<https://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/vol25/iss1/6/>. After that went to print, we figured out how to reconfigure our OPAC to make this OER metadata visible to our patrons. Most of the fields above are searchable, particularly the 653_6 field that indicates a resource is OER. Using that field, we built a LibGuides search box that scopes just to the OER bibs in our catalog. You can see that here, https://libguides.mhcc.edu/oer/guide We have not yet loaded our OER MARC records into OCLC, as we want to get through this proof of concept first and have some discussions with our peers. There might be better ways to use MARC than what we’ve done here, but this is our first shot and so far it’s working quite well for us. We are excited to share it with you all! -Heather Heather White, MLS Library Technical Services & OER Coordinator Mt Hood Community College 26000 SE Stark St., Gresham, OR 97030 503-491-7106 heather.white(a)mhcc.edu<mailto:heather.white(a)mhcc.edu> “Study, learn, help one another always.” – Chief Plenty Coups -- If you have any questions about this group, contact lizyata(a)oeconsortium.org<mailto:lizyata(a)oeconsortium.org> --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CCCOER Advisory" group.

Math problems - copyright and OER
by Lovsin, Darcye A. 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hello BCOEL, I have a copyright/OER question that has me stumped. The math department is creating an open textbook and were told that math problems are 'facts' and therefore are not protected by copyright. They want to confirm if this means they can use commercial textbook math problems in their OER. (Thank you Lindsay for locating where this information may be from: a US Copyright Office Publication<https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ31.pdf>). Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate Canadian specific information on copyright and math problems, or if how 'original' the math problem is matters. My initial reaction is that, even if a math problem is 'fact', there is still work and originality that goes into creating math problems for commercial textbooks. Has anyone helped create a math OER that has some insight? >From my understanding the problems are calculus problems, so heavy symbol/number based instead of language heavy.
