April 6 meeting
by Lin Brander 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

BCIT got Zoom! It is so much better than WebEx and hopefully everyone will be able to connect to this meeting. Just in case you did not get the updated invitation, I am attaching the agenda to this email and it has the instructions for joining the meeting included. Lindsay and I think that our main agenda item should be the roundtable so we can all catch up with what is happening at our various institutions. Debra, did I already ask if you could please add Melissa and Christopher to the listservs? They are copied on this email. Looking forward to catching up with you all soon.

BCOEL meeting 2:30 Monday
by Lin Brander 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Sounds like lots of people can make it for a 2:30 meeting on Monday. WebEx meetings seem a bit challenging to change - you may have all received multiple updates/cancellations, if so, sorry about that. Please find the agenda attached which includes information to access the meeting if it is not appearing in your invitation as well as Jan. minutes.

BCOEL meeting next week
by Lin Brander 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Sorry about the late notice. Next week I have lots of classes coming through and I have to give those requests priority. I have a conflict next week during our meeting time - I now have a class scheduled that goes until 2:20. Here are a few options: Does it work for people to have the meeting on Monday at 2:30? If not we have a few options - since we are set up in WebEx, I have to open the meeting - I am not absolutely confident that I will remember to do that while teaching a class. If someone else would like to set up a meeting for that time and chair it (I can send the agenda), you could go ahead without me (please make sure you invite Selina who is copied on this email). options: - Someone else set up and chair the meeting for the same time, 1:30 Monday, Feb. 10 - Change the meeting time to Monday, Feb. 10, at 2:30 - Change the meeting time to Friday, Feb. 14, at 1:00 - Sent written feedback to Selina - postpone the discussion until our March 9. 1:00 meeting (not sure if this is too much of a delay for Selina); we have another guest already scheduled for that day but can probably fit two guest in. Selina sent these questions related to her findability project for BCcampus for us to consider ahead of the meeting. >From Selina: As discussed, here are the few questions that may come up at the meeting. I suspect we will only have time to address one of them, but they are good to get people thinking about the kind of information we are looking for: 1. What was your last experience adopting (or trying to implement) an Open textbook for you like? * Why did you do it? * Where did you go? * What was difficult or annoying in the process? * What was easier/harder than if you had not bothered to consider an Open textbook? 2. What do you wish you had or what service/tool do you wish existed to make Open textbooks less of a pain for you (or for your colleagues)? 3. We have a few ideas of how to make finding textbooks better based on what librarians, students, instructional designers, and accessibility staff are saying. We would like to try some of these out, but want to get honest feedback from instructors on whether these ideas will truly help. Would you be willing to spend an hour of your time with me providing your insights? Let me know what we should do - I am away on Friday so if you could send your thoughts soon, that would be great! Please send your thought too Selina. Again, my apologies!!!

Honouring Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon - Open Education Weel
by Fields, Erin 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Hello All, The First Nations and Indigenous Studies Program and UBC Library will be hosting an Honouring Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/HonouringIndigenousWriters/U…> on March 2nd from 1-4pm at the Sty-Wet-Tan Hall in the First Nations Longhouse at UBC Vancouver campus. Wikipedia is a multilingual, web-based, free encyclopedia based on a model of open community-generated knowledge. This edit-a-thon is seeking to improve the coverage of Indigenous writers on Wikipedia and to encourage diverse community editors to actively work to dissuade assumptions about Indigenous literature by raising their profile in this increasingly influential information source. Attendees will pick authors from a list of Indigenous authors who have approved their inclusion in this event and edit/create their Wikipedia articles. The event is free, catered, and features guest speakers who will share their experiences as Indigenous authors. Please bring your own laptop. Event page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/HonouringIndigenousWriters/U… If you are interested in developing your own Honouring Indigenous Writers Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, we would love to support you in this work. You can find the planning materials here: https://t.co/yIyk1QF2E0?amp=1<https://t.co/yIyk1QF2E0?amp=1><https://t.co/yIyk1QF2E0?amp=1> Please let us know of your interest! And if you available, we would love to have you at the March 2 event!
