Access Copyright and York, request for webinar participation
by Amanda Coolidge 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

Hi BCOEL! I am wondering if any of you would be interested in participating in a webinar (hosted by BCcampus) to discuss the background, implications, ruling of the following Access Copyright vs. York case. For background: York University opted out of the Access Copyright agreement a few years ago and decided to try to police it on their own within their university and push the new fair use clause of the Canadian Copyright act. Access Copyright sued them and appears they have won the case. [ http://www.michaelgeist.ca/2017/07/ignoring-supreme-court-trial-judge-hands… | Ignoring the Supreme Court: Federal Court Judge Hands Access Copyright Fair Dealing Victory - Michael Geist ] Let me know if you are interested and available and we can set something up for next week or the week after. I think this important for us to talk about to our community.

Indeed, the promise of open education can trace its roots to the the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations 1948, which states “everyone has a right to education.” There is little formal evidence, however, that open education has an impact on increasing access to learning or making education more equitable. This event will explore the goals, failures, and successes of open education. Join us in exploring such questions as: is open education succeeding in being a transformative movement that makes learning more accessible? What are the criteria and successes that should be used to measure if the open education movement is a success? What more needs to be done?

waiting on webinar for access copyright
by Amanda Coolidge 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

Hi Friends We have decided to wait a couple of weeks on doing the webinar as we are curious to see how other universities and institutions also react to the case. As well we are aware that there may be implications to your institutions/universities should you speak out about this now, vs. at a later date. I do really want to do this webinar, so will be in touch in a couple of weeks as more information trickles in re: Access and York, etc. Thanks for the understanding Amanda -- Amanda Coolidge Senior Manager, Open Education BC campus | connect.collaborate.innovate. 120- 645 Fort Street | Victoria BC V8W 1G2 Tel 250-818-4592 | [ http://www.bccampus.ca/ | www.bccampus.ca ] Skype: coolidge.amanda Twitter: @acoolidge
