Adoption Finder blog - request for comments
by Lauri Aesoph (she/her) 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Hi BCOEL, If you attended the January 17th meeting you might recall that after my presentation on the Adoption Finder<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PiYkOQOgTTrrI77J9-sO9HkqdX7c5BtEL_A…>, I mentioned a blog I will be writing about this tool and wanting to include comments from some of you in that piece. To keep this easy, I ask that anyone who'd like to submit comments send them by email to me no later than Friday, February 11. Below are ideas about what these might include. (I don't expect anyone to answer all of these questions, but you can if you want.) * How do you anticipate the Adoption Finder will be used? * Do you think the Adoption Finder will be useful for instructors? Why and how? * How do you plan to use it or share it with your PSI members? * * Do you plan to incorporate a link to and description of the Adoption Finder into your institution's collection of OE resources? * * Do you consider the Adoption Finder a unique OE tool? Why and how? I will contact all individuals whose comments I select. Thanks and regards, Lauri Lauri Aesoph Manager, Open Education Operations, BCcampus Cell: 250-893-0258<tel:250-893-0258> • Email: laesoph(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:laesoph(a)bccampus.ca> Twitter: @lauriaesoph<https://twitter.com/lauriaesoph> • Skype: lauri.aesoph • LinkedIn: lauriaesoph<https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriaesoph/> ____________________________________________________________ Learning.

CFP: Indigenous Knowledges and Open Education Edited Volume (Open Access)
by Langille, Donna 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

*Please share widely* Indigenous Knowledges and Open Education Edited Volume (Open Access) Call for Chapter Proposals The open education movement has provided a substantial improvement to the learning and research needs of students, faculty, and community members. This has been done through various barrier free methods of publishing, and mitigates any financial strains that can occur. However, within the open access movement there needs to be careful consideration for Indigenous Knowledges, which are deeply rooted in community defined ethics and protocols, that do not fit into ordinary academic contexts. Many conversations around open education (OE) focus on a Eurocentric framework of copyright and intellectual property rights that are sometimes in tension with Indigenous knowledge systems, and the goal of this volume is to centre Indigenous ways of knowing, culture, experiences, and worldviews within the work of open education pedagogy and advocacy work. The publication target date is summer 2023. The following provides detailed steps for submitting a chapter proposal to this open access edited volume. We encourage chapters (of 4000 to 6000 words, excluding references) that are authored with diverse representation and scholarship (including student authors where possible), that reflect one of the following types of contributions: * Essay (theoretical or conceptual paper grounded in the literature) * Research paper (based on systematic exploration of a research question) * Case Study (critical, evidence-based, and theoretically grounded reflections on the intersections of Indigenous knowledges and open education) CHAPTER PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS We ask that the chapter proposals be submitted by email to donna.langille(a)ubc.ca<mailto:donna.langille(a)ubc.ca>, including the following elements by March 15, 2022: * Working Title: * Abstract: Max 200 words  * Type of Contribution: (research, theoretical/exploratory essay, case study) * Keywords: 3–6 keywords * Contributor information: Required information for each contributor, in the correct authorship order and as you would like to see in print: * Full name  * Institution name (in full, no abbreviations) * Primary e-mail address * Contributor bio (Max 100 words) Please see the attached PDF for more information. Sincerely, Donna Langille Kayla Lar-Son Tashia Kootenayoo Naim Cardinal Brad Wuetherick Donna Langille, MISt (She<https://equity.ubc.ca/resources/gender-diversity/pronouns/>, Her<https://equity.ubc.ca/resources/gender-diversity/pronouns/>, Hers<https://equity.ubc.ca/resources/gender-diversity/pronouns/>, They<https://equity.ubc.ca/resources/gender-diversity/pronouns/>, Them<https://equity.ubc.ca/resources/gender-diversity/pronouns/>, Theirs<https://equity.ubc.ca/resources/gender-diversity/pronouns/>) Community Engagement and Open Education Librarian UBC Okanagan Library The University of British Columbia | Okanagan Campus | Syilx Okanagan Nation Territory Phone 250 807 9233 donna.langille(a)ubc.ca<mailto:donna.langille(a)ubc.ca> | http://library.ok.ubc.ca/ | https://open.ubc.ca/ Respectfully acknowledging that I am an uninvited visitor on the unceded territory of the Syilx<https://www.syilx.org/about-us/syilx-nation/> peoples.

by Rajiv Jhangiani 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

Dear colleagues, I am absolutely thrilled to announce that we are growing our team by hiring an additional Open Education Strategist. This is a full-time and ongoing position located within the Teaching & Learning Commons<https://www.kpu.ca/teaching-and-learning> at Kwantlen Polytechnic University<https://www.kpu.ca/> (KPU). See: https://tre.tbe.taleo.net/tre01/ats/careers/v2/viewRequisition?org=JT63GS&c… The Open Education Strategist provides project management and support for various open education initiatives and direct pedagogical consultation and technical training to KPU educators and programs on how to discover, adopt, adapt, or create open educational resources (OER) and how to design learning experiences that integrate principles of open pedagogy. The incumbent oversees the regular collection, management, and reporting of data for the Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) program, plans the Open Education Research Institute, and provides support to OER grantees, Open Pedagogy Fellows, and Open Education Research Fellows. Through consultations, materials and training, the incumbent communicates open education trends and practices to educators and peers. Collaborating with Teaching and Learning Commons staff, librarians, and other stakeholders within and outside of KPU, this position advances, supports, and evaluates open educational practices for KPU. Qualified candidates will have current knowledge of Creative Commons licenses and how to discover, adopt, revise, and remix OER educational resources (OER). A demonstrated ability to create or adapt OER using open education tools (e.g., Pressbooks, H5P, etc.), current knowledge of open pedagogy (e.g., renewable assignments), and the ability to design, develop and deliver information, resources and training on open educational practices is required. A Bachelor’s degree is required. A specialization in Communications, Education, Marketing, Educational Technology, or Library & Information Science would be an asset. This is a unionized (BCGEU) position that includes benefits. KPU has five campuses located in the Metro Vancouver region of British Columbia and offers bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, diplomas, certificates and citations in more than 140 programs. Almost 20,000 students annually attend courses at KPU campuses in Surrey, Richmond, Langley, Cloverdale, and Civic Plaza. The University welcomes and encourages applications from women, visible minorities, Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, persons of any sexual orientation, and persons of any gender identity or gender expression. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. A review of applications will begin on January 21, 2022; however, the position will remain open until filled. Please feel free to share this posting widely. I would be happy to address any questions about this position. Thank you very much, Rajiv [logo gif] Rajiv Jhangiani, Ph.D. (pronouns: he/him) Associate Vice President, Teaching and Learning Kwantlen Polytechnic University t 604.599.3253 e rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca<mailto:rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca> www.kpu.ca/tlcommons<http://www.kpu.ca/tlcommons> | www.kpu.ca/cps<http://www.kpu.ca/cps> | www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.
