OER in Institutional Repositories
by Fields, Erin 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hello, I have a question related to how people deal with open educational resources in their institutional repositories. Are there any best practices/processes you use for the metadata? Do you have particular Dublin Core fields and descriptors, keywords you use, or descriptive information that makes it easier to find within your repository? Thanks for any help you can give! Erin

Question about identifying no textbook cost at the point of registration
by Flewelling, Debra 01 Dec '22

01 Dec '22

Hello, Please excuse the cross posting but I want to reach out to those who are not on the canadaoer listserv. The BC Open Education Librarians group is planning an event for Open Education Week<https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/> March 6 – 10, 2023 We are planning a session on how courses can be marked as having no textbook cost in their registration system. We know from Marking Open and Affordable Courses<https://uta.pressbooks.pub/markingopenandaffordablecourses/> that KPU does but we would like to know from others in B.C. if they are doing the same or even in the planning process. It would also be useful to know what registration system you use. Thank you - your input and time is much appreciated. Best, Debra. Debra Flewelling (she/hers<https://www.mypronouns.org/>) Open Education Librarian 604.527.5190 debra.Flewelling(a)douglascollege.ca<mailto:debra.Flewelling(a)douglascollege.ca> [Description: logo_2012_for_email_signature77172] I am grateful to learn and work on the unceded traditional and ancestral lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie), qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and qiqéyt (Qayqayt) First Nations.
