by Rosario Passos 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Dear members of the BCOEL, At the last meeting of the BCOEL executive, BCIT introduced a research project to gather data on the use of OER. As part of this study, BCIT would like to collect some baseline data on OER usage by post-secondary institutions across BC. Your group was identified as a good cross-institutional source for gathering baseline information. As such, we would like to ask you to take a few minutes to participate in this online board by November 15: https://padlet.com/rosario5/70hhy64gx3r4z2cw Information about the research project: Study Title: How can the Learning and Teaching Centre (LTC) increase the uptake of Open Educational Resource• (OER) use, including Open Textbooks••, in the classroom and in online course design? Before agreeing to participate in this research, we strongly encourage you to read the study purpose and procedures below. This study is designed to examine how the LTC can increase the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) in classrooms and courses. We are conducting this study to learn more about this question because of the possible value that Open Educational Resources offer. This study has been reviewed by the BCIT Research Ethics Board. Please note: · Participation includes participation in an online board (approx. 20 mins) that asks basic questions about your institution’s experiences, with the use of Open Educational Resources. · The online board is located here: https://padlet.com/rosario5/70hhy64gx3r4z2cw · If the online board is completed it will be assumed that consent has been given. · You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time and without penalty. · Risks and Discomforts There are no risks or discomforts anticipated from your participation in the study. · Benefits The anticipated benefit of participation is the opportunity to discuss perceptions related to use of Open Educational Resources and to contribute to understanding decision-making and planning for learning and teaching. · Confidentiality The information gathered during this study will remain confidential and in secure premises during this project. Only the researchers will have access to the study data and information. The results of the research will be shared at BCIT and may be published or presented at professional meetings. · For Further Questions and Follow-Up please contact the Chair of the BCIT Research Ethics Board at (604-451-6917) or research_ethics(a)bcit.ca<mailto:research_ethics(a)bcit.ca> · Researcher Contact: Dr. Cheri MacLeod, cmacleod9(a)bcit.ca<mailto:cmacleod9(a)bcit.ca>, 604-432-8466 •…“teaching, learning, and research materials that are either (a) in the public domain or (b) licensed in a manner that provides everyone with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities.” (Creative Commons, n.d.) ••Open textbooks have an open-copyright license and may be available in a variety of file types.

Introducing InclusiveAccess.org: Get the facts about automatic textbook billing
by Arianna Cheveldave 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

This message is sent on behalf of Nicole Allen, SPARC. Dear colleagues, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of InclusiveAccess.org<https://www.inclusiveaccess.org/>: a community-driven initiative to raise awareness of the facts about automatic textbook billing. Little known five years ago, Inclusive Access has taken off as a sales model that automatically adds the cost of digital textbooks into students’ tuition and fees. While this model is intended to address some of the challenges with high textbook costs, it is also creating new challenges for students and faculty. How exactly does Inclusive Access work? Does it really save students money? What about this kind of program is “inclusive”? Straightforward answers to these questions aren’t always easy to find. InclusiveAccess.org is a one-stop-shop for information, tools, and other resources to help administrators, faculty, students, and policymakers make informed decisions about Inclusive Access and its implications for the campus community. InclusiveAccess.org was developed by SPARC with generous support from the Michelson 20MM Foundation<http://20mm.org/>. Partners<http://inclusiveaccess.org/about-us> include AAC&U, Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, Creative Commons, DigiTex, Student PIRGs, Open Education Global, and OpenStax. Other mission-aligned organizations are encouraged to join. If conversations about Inclusive Access are happening in your campus or state, we hope you will consider sharing this resource far and wide! To stay in the loop, sign up for emails<https://www.inclusiveaccess.org/subscribe> and follow @TextbookBilling<https://twitter.com/textbookbilling> on Twitter. Cheers, Nicole Starr Allen SPARC<http://www.sparcopen.org/> | Director of Open Education 1201 Connecticut Ave NW, #608 Washington, DC 20036 USA +1 (202) 750-1637 nicole(a)sparcopen.org<mailto:nicole(a)sparcopen.org> @txtbks<http://twitter.com/txtbks> 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.

CCCOER Webinar: OER Funding and Impact Measurements
by Arianna Cheveldave 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Dear colleagues, The Community College Consortium for OER is offering a webinar on Wednesday, October 13 at 12 p.m. PDT/3 p.m. EDT called OER Funding and Impact Measurements<https://www.cccoer.org/webinar/oer-funding-and-impact-measurements/>. The event description says, "Let’s be honest: the questions every institution or organization interested in embarking on an OER project has to ask at some point are 'Where’s the money, and how do I get it?' There are lots of ways these questions can be answered, so we’ll be discussing various OER funding streams and examine ways in which the work is measured to justify sustainability and scalability. Hear from funders and fundees alike, from across the U.S." Register for this Zoom meeting online<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYlduuprT8rE9zqwyPU-F2ss81q6ZkbFu…>.
