FW: CARL issues statement on Open Education – L'ABRC publie une déclaration sur l'éducation ouverte
by Fields, Erin 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

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.

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.
