Langara's open textbook data visualization
by Lindsay Tripp 23 Apr '19

23 Apr '19

Hello all, It was great to see so many of you at the BCOEL lunch at the Cascadia Open Ed Summit last week! During our roundtable, I mentioned that my colleague Dan Slessor recently visualized Langara’s open textbook adoption data in Tableau. Here is a link<https://public.tableau.com/profile/langaralibrary#!/vizhome/OpenLangara/Ove…> if you’re curious to see what it looks like. It is based on the data we collect in collaboration with Lauri Aesoph at BCcampus. Last month, Langara’s Communications & Marketing Department developed branding for our open ed committee, Open Langara. Dan worked the branding into the visualization. We’re hoping it will help communicate the impact of open textbooks, and open ed more broadly, to senior leadership and the wider Langara community. If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to be in touch! All the best, -Lindsay Lindsay Tripp Copyright Librarian Library & Learning Commons 604.323.5290 100 West 49th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Y 2Z6 [Langara Logo]<https://langara.ca/> ________________________________ Please consider the environment before printing.

by Lin Brander 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Hello, Brenda and I were able to have a phone meeting yesterday. This is what we came up with: Cascadia BCOEL lunch meeting in room 1400. We will be informal but could have a round table and discuss whether we want to have an in-person working meeting in the summer (June-Aug.). We may have some new people joining us so perhaps we could talk about how the group functions and answer their questions. Next meeting - does the week of May 13 work? Agenda items: * we need a Chair-elect to start 2 year term in September - Chair-elect (and meeting minute-taker) Sep.-Aug. 2019/20 and Chair Sep.-Aug. 2020/21 * update on our working groups * summer in-person working meeting planning (if we are going to have one) Let us know if you have anything else you would like to change or add. See you next week!

BCOEL meeting at Cascadia
by Brenda Smith 09 Apr '19

Hi Everyone, I was going to send a message to BCcampus asking if we could have a space for lunch for BCOEL to meet during Cascadia. Or do you think we should schedule a meeting Thursday afternoon, since it seems to end at lunchtime? What do you all think? Thanks, Brenda
