FW: CARL webinar – webinaire de l'ABRC : How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER
by Fields, Erin 02 Oct '19

02 Oct '19

Bilingual message – message bilingue -------- [cid:image001.png(a)01D57920.E37508B0] CARL’s Open Education Working Group wants to share this opportunity for you to engage with the following professional development opportunity around Open Education. Further webinars will be announced very soon. How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER http://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/free-webinar-inclusive-and-accessible-oer/ Date: October 16, 2019 Time: 10am PST | 1pm EST Registration: https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca<https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca/> Please note that although this presentation will be in English, slides will be made available in both English and French. In this webinar, we will talk about how to design OER so they are more inclusive and accessible for all students. This will include an overview of the technical considerations of digital accessibility. For example, what are the minimum technical requirements that ensure students with print disabilities can access and navigate through the resource? We will also look at how inclusive design practices can help us create educational materials that are more versatile and useful for students. For example, what does an accessible resource look like for a student with no personal computer? Or a student with a learning disability that makes reading difficult? Ultimately, students can be very different from each other, and what may work for one student may not work for another. But by designing for those differences, we can create educational materials that are more useful, powerful, and accessible to all. Presenter’s Bio Josie Gray<mailto:josie.gray(a)bccampus.ca> is the Coordinator of Collection Quality on the Open Education team at BCcampus. She manages the B.C. Open Textbook Collection and provides training and support for B.C. faculty publishing open textbooks in Pressbooks. Josie has been learning about and teaching accessibility best practices in OER for three years and has recently started her MDes in Inclusive Design at OCAD University. If you have any questions, please contact Erin Fields, CARL Visiting Program Officer for Open Education (erin.fields(a)ubc.ca<mailto:erin.fields(a)ubc.ca>) or Lise Brin, Program Officer at CARL (lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca>).

Le reste de la série de webinaires sera annoncée sous peu. How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER [Comment créer des REL inclusives et accessibles] http://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/nouvelles/webinaire-gratuit-rel-inclusives-et-ac… Date : Le 16 octobre 2019 Heure : 10 h HNP | 13 h HNE Inscription : https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca<https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca/> Bien que la présentations se fera en anglais, les diapositives seront disponibles en anglais et en français. Au cours de ce webinaire, nous discuterons de la façon de concevoir des ressources éducatives libres (REL) afin qu’elles soient plus inclusives et plus accessibles pour tous les étudiants. Un aperçu des considérations techniques de l’accessibilité numérique sera présenté. Par exemple, quelles sont les exigences techniques minimales qui permettent aux étudiants incapables de lire les imprimés d’accéder à la ressource et de s’y retrouver? Nous examinerons également en quoi les pratiques de conception inclusive peuvent nous aider à créer du matériel pédagogique plus polyvalent et plus utile pour les étudiants. Par exemple, à quoi ressemble une ressource accessible pour un étudiant qui n’a pas d’ordinateur personnel? Ou pour un étudiant ayant un trouble d’apprentissage qui rend la lecture plus difficile? En fin de compte, les étudiants peuvent être très différents les uns des autres, et ce qui convient à l’un peut ne pas convenir à l’autre. Mais, en procédant à la conception en fonction de ces différences, nous pouvons créer du matériel pédagogique plus utile, plus puissant et plus accessible à tous. Biographie de la présentatrice Josie Gray<mailto:josie.gray(a)bccampus.ca> est coordonnatrice de la qualité des collections au sein de l’équipe de l’éducation ouverte à BCcampus. Elle veille à la gestion de la collection de manuels en libre accès en Colombie-Britannique, en plus d’offrir formation et soutien au personnel enseignant de la C.-B. qui publie des manuels en libre accès dans la plateforme Pressbooks. Depuis trois ans, Josie apprend au sujet des meilleures pratiques en matière d’accessibilité aux REL et les enseigne. De plus, elle vient d’entamer sa maîtrise en conception inclusive à l’OCAD University.

Strategic Plans that mention Open Education
by Flewelling, Debra 27 Sep '19

27 Sep '19

Hi All, I'm looking for examples of Institutional Strategic Plans that mention open education like UBC's<https://strategicplan.ubc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/2018_UBC_Strategic_…> (on page 21, 38, 41). And I know Kwantlen has a whole pressboo<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/openeducation/chapter/strategic-goals/>k which is great and it shows that their strategic goals are mirrored in Goal 6 of KPU's Academic Plan 2023<https://www.kpu.ca/vp-academic/academic-plan-2023/open-education>. Are there any others that I could look at? Thanks, Debra Debra Flewelling Open Education Librarian T 604.527.5190 F 604.527.5193 Debra.Flewelling(a)douglascollege.ca<mailto:Debra.Flewelling(a)douglascollege.ca> [Description: logo_2012_for_email_signature77172]
