Hi Lin, Other people have been having issues with not getting the BCOEL Steering listserv… It’s weird that it’s being inconsistent for you though. CC’ing Debra in case she might know why? No worries!

Can Open Pedagogy Encourage Care? Student Perspectives
by Amanda Grey 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Hello! I want to share this new article that was recently published by KPU faculty member Deirdre Maultsaid and TRU faculty member Michelle Harrison. This publication is the result of Deirdre’s year working with us as an Open Education Research Fellow and explores student perspectives on Open Pedagogy. Can Open Pedagogy Encourage Care? Student Perspectives<https://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/6901> Abstract: As a response to the increasing commercialization of postsecondary education, educators argue for a practice of care in education. Open pedagogy (OP) seems like an ideal practice where care, trust, and inclusion can be realized. OP is characterized as a democratic and collaborative pedagogical practice, in which students and teachers work to co-create learning and knowledge using openly licensed materials, open platforms, and other open processes. The purposes of this study were, first, to reveal ways students in postsecondary institutions perceive care and, second, to determine how students suggest OP can be used to create an open/caring learning process. A task-oriented focus group method engaged students from four teaching-focused institutions. The students created open cases on social issues for class discussion and reflected on care and OP processes in postsecondary settings. Using four elements of the ethics of care—attentiveness, responsibility, competence, and trustworthiness—as conceptual categories, the study examined students’ experience of care and care in OP using affective coding and thematic analysis. The results showed that through OP, with teacher support and explicitly designed practices of care, students can assert their agency, have quintessential roles in creating and participating in highly relevant curriculum and importantly, care about others, and be cared for. OP is a process able to involve a diverse population of students and embody care as an all-encompassing practice.

BCOEL for Open Access Week 2023
by Amanda Grey 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

Hello (again)! Would anyone be interested in Arianna’s suggestion below to write a blog post for the BCcampus website for Open Access Week? Cheers, Amanda From: Arianna Cheveldave <acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca> Sent: Friday, September 15, 2023 8:46 AM To: Amanda Grey <Amanda.Grey(a)kpu.ca> Subject: Re: BCOEL for Open Access Week 2023 CAUTION External Sender: Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi Amanda, That's no problem. We just thought we would ask and make the offer. If someone at BCOEL is interested, you could write a guest blog post for the BCcampus website pertaining to Open Access Week. This was a suggestion by our MarComm team. This blog post could then be promoted in our newsletter published on October 18, so the turnaround time would probably be less than a month. Is there any interest in this? It's okay if not: we just wanted to reach out.

Zoom Meeting Login Requirement

Hi everyone, I looked into the Zoom meeting settings and found that KPU IT has locked the setting that requires used to sign into Zoom before joining a meeting. Since everyone seemed to be able to join on Monday, I’m going to proceed with the assumption that we can continue using Zoom. If anyone has an issue with this, please let me know and I will reschedule the meetings through Teams.
