OER: What’s Next? Equity & Diversity Thursday, July 22, 2021 @ 1PM PT /2PM MT / 3PM CT / 4PM ET Free Online Event Join Ann Fiddler and Dr. Rebecca Karoff for a panel focusing on what is next for OER concerning equity and diversity.

This one-hour synchronous event will feature two presenters, followed by a Q&A: * ANN FIDDLER Ann Fiddler is the Open Education Librarian for the City University of New York in the Office of the Dean of Library Services. This office supports 32 libraries across 24 campuses in the 5 boroughs of New York City. Ann has been overseeing Open Educational Resource initiatives across the university since 2014. She has been the principal investigator for grants in support of OER from Achieving the Dream, The Gates Foundation, and The Public Interest Technology Network. She is currently leading the University-wide OER Initiative generously funded by New York State. * DR. REBECCA KAROFF Dr. Rebecca Karoff joined the University of Texas System in February 2016 as Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. She is responsible for leading and supporting student success initiatives system-wide. Her work addresses the student success continuum, PK-20 and into the workforce, and recognizes the remarkable responsibility and opportunity of the University of Texas System to achieve more equitable access and outcomes for the state’s increasingly diverse students. She is the primary architect of the UT System’s student success framework, and collaborates with institutional colleagues across the UT System to ensure student financial well-being, effective advising, and students’ sense of academic and social belonging. Her work includes leadership of the UT System’s momentum-building strategy on Open Educational Resources (OER), strengthening curricular innovation, and working with faculty to embrace their roles in student success. All her work is data-informed, equity-centered and quality-driven, and she is interested in expanded approaches to measuring student success. Beyond the UT System, she is a member of the Texas Transfer Alliance, a joint effort among the Charles A. Dana Center, the Texas Success Center, the Texas Association of Community Colleges, and four of the state’s public university systems (Texas A&M University System, Texas State University System, University of North Texas System and University of Texas System) to improve transfer student outcomes. She is active in NASH, the National Association of System Heads, and is a co-author of the NASH Equity Action Framework, a tool designed for university systems to assess their progress toward, and act on the adoption and integration of essential equity practices through sustained engagement. She chairs the Equity Work Group of DOERS3, the Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success Collaborative, work resulting in the DOERS3 OER Equity Blueprint and Equity Through OER Rubric.

Taking Up the Open Pedagogy Summer Adventure
by Arianna Cheveldave 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Dear colleagues, The following is a message from Alan Levine, reaching out on behalf of OE Global. ---- What's an adventure without a dash of the unknown? My hope for our Open Pedagogy Summer Adventure<https://connect.oeglobal.org/c/open-pd/summer-adventure/47> was to flip the usual webinar style approach to what works beautifully here by email where people ask, answer, share when they can. All of the Summer Adventure series is freely available to read in OEG Connect, and to respond there use this special link <https://connect.oeglobal.org/invites/a4eGA3vSTB> for the quick route to make an account. Your interest we heard for learning about interactivity, specifically H5P, is in my corner, and Liz Yata will be sharing soon details on our webinar session next week. The activities I will review<https://connect.oeglobal.org/tag/interactivity-opsa>, are and will be available for anyone to use at any time. Here is the H5P Adventure. Each leads to an activity and a place to share what you discover or ask questions. * 0. The Interactivity Strand in the Summer Adventure: What Kind of H5P Do You Want<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/the-interactivity-strand-in-the-summer-adven…> - a poll and discussion to share what you know or want to know about H5P * 1. Before Grabbing the Tools<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-1-0-before-grabbing-the-tools/1933/10> - Find where and how to find examples of H5P interactivity to seed ideas what is possible * 2. Where to Make H5P?<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-2-0-where-to-make-h5p/2022/2> - Determine where you can get access to an H5P creation space * 3. Start From Scratch or Remix?<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-3-0-start-from-scratch-or-remix/2026/6> A value of H5P content is that it is truly reusable. If you are new to H5P it might be easier to learn the tools by modifying existing content. * 4. Pick Up a First Tool and Go<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-4-0-pick-up-a-first-tool-and-go/2058/2> - since there are 49 different content type tools, which ones are good start? We have suggestions More will be added, perhaps for the more complex tools like Branching Scenarios, but rather than us decided in advance we will base on your feedback. And I am sure there is some strong expertise here with H5P (more than mine) so we welcome people who know their way around H5P. There's more in the mix than H5P. Christina Riehman-Murphy and Bryan McGeary have provided a stand alone version of their OER Roadmap workshop<https://connect.oeglobal.org/tag/roadmap-opsa> (and are standing by to respond to questions). There has been good Q&A in a copyright topic<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/none-of-us-are-lawyers-ask-about-copyright-a…>, the typical CCCOER abundance of resource sharing<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/suggested-resources-for-learning-about-open-…>, and participants have shared as introductions<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/say-hello-and-share-your-summer-goals-in-ope…> and updates<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/how-are-those-summer-projects-going/2059/> progress on their own summer open pedagogy projects. We hope to see you join the adventure when you can<https://connect.oeglobal.org/c/open-pd/summer-adventure/47>.

Apply by June 20 to run a Wikipedia assignment in Fall 2021!
by Arianna Cheveldave 11 Jun '21

11 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, BCcampus recently received notice of an opportunity to collaborate with Wiki Education in the Fall 2021 term. Below is the modified text from a message that we received about this opportunity. The deadline to run a Wikipedia assignment in Fall 2021 is rapidly approaching! To run a Wikipedia assignment this Fall, submit your application by June 20. Wiki Education's support is fully funded, and there are no fees to run a Wikipedia assignment. The reasons to run a Wikipedia assignment are myriad, but here are some reflections that capture the essence of the project: "Although many students admitted they had first felt intimidated by the thought of their work being ‘out there’ on the internet, they all commented on the huge sense of achievement they felt seeing their articles published on Wikipedia at the end of semester and how contributing to global knowledge was incredibly fulfilling." —Professor Victoria Austin, University of Winnipeg "One of the things I loved about this project was the idea of being able to improve something on a public platform and offer substantive research that could be helpful to someone who might not have access to the same resources we are so lucky to have as students at the University of Michigan." —Aja Brandmeier, Student, University of Michigan To apply for a spot in the program, follow these steps: 1. Create an account at dashboard.wikiedu.org<https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/>. 2. Go through Wiki Education's Orientation for New Instructors<https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/instructors/new-instructor-orientati…>. You'll be prompted to do this once you create an account. 3. After you complete the orientation, you'll be asked to launch the Assignment Design Wizard. Go through the wizard to create your course page. Your course page will be the central hub for your Wikipedia assignment, and it's how you receive support from Wiki Education. When you're ready, submit the course page, and your application will be complete! We will notify you by July 16 if we are able to offer you a spot for the Fall 2021 term. Applications submitted after June 20 will only be considered if space allows. For more information, contact Helaine Blumenthal at helaine(a)wikiedu.org<mailto:helaine(a)wikiedu.org>. Best, Arianna Cheveldave [Hear my name]<http://nmdrp.me/ariannacheveldave> Coordinator, Open Education, BCcampus Email: acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca> • LinkedIn: ariannacheveldave<https://ca.linkedin.com/in/arianna-cheveldave> • Pronouns: She/her ________________________________ I acknowledge that the land I live, work, and play on is the unceded territory of the səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) peoples.

by Lindsay Tripp 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

Dear BCOEL community, Please join us on Thursday, May 27 from 11am-12pm for a conversation about how B.C. colleges and universities are supporting Pressbooks. Speakers from three post-secondary institutions (BCIT, Kwantlen, and UBC) will share some of the successes and challenges they've experienced. We'll leave ample time for Q&A/casual discussion. Pressbooks is an open source book production platform based on WordPress. Our open education partner, BCcampus, hosts an instance of Pressbooks and offers staff and educators from post-secondary institutions in B.C. and the Yukon a free account<https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/>. This is an informal session for information sharing and no registration is required (Zoom details provided below). We hope to see many of you there!
