Original files for two BCOEL documents?
by Lindsay Tripp 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

Hello all, Kony Trudel from the Canada School of Public Service reached out to BCcampus regarding two BCOEL documents: the Open Education Resource Repository (OERR) Rubric<https://open.bccampus.ca/files/2014/07/OERR-Rubric.pdf> and the Faculty Guide for Evaluating Open Education Resources<https://open.bccampus.ca/files/2014/07/Faculty-Guide-22-Apr-15.pdf>. Specifically, Kony would like to have these documents translated into French and is hoping we can provide the original files (.docx, .pptx). ...I joined BCOEL in late 2017 so these documents (which were created/revised in 2015) preceded me. Thanks in advance for your leads! Best, Lindsay Lindsay Tripp Copyright Librarian Langara Library 604.323.5290 100 West 49th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Y 2Z6 Unceded Musqueam Territory [Langara Logo]<https://langara.ca/> ________________________________ Please consider the environment before printing.

Re: [Bcoelsteering] Open Textbooks/OER Adoptions
by Flewelling, Debra 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

Hi everyone, For a long time now I’ve wanted us to share what resources we use just as OpenOregon<https://openoregon.org/resources/> does and I specifically asked that and Mary Burgess said that it was a privacy issue. I would find it invaluable to know if someone at another institution is using an OER/library ebook for their course. Until we can do something like Oregon, perhaps we can figure out a way that we can share a spreadsheet with each other that would just indicates the course and the specific resource used and then at least we can contact each other for more details. I’d be happy to work on this with anyone who would like to see this happen as well. Have a good weekend all.

CPSLD/BCOEL joint submission re: copyright term extension
by Lindsay Tripp 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

Hello all, As I mentioned during our last meeting, I approached CPSLD (the association representing post-secondary library directors in B.C.) in February about collaborating with BCOEL on copyright advocacy efforts. Last week CPSLD confirmed that they were keen to jointly author a submission regarding implementation of the copyright term extension. Under CUSMA (the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement, or 'new NAFTA') the term of copyright in Canada will be extended from life of the creator +50 years, to life +70. This will have a great impact on open educational practice, and higher education more broadly. The government gave stakeholders just one month to submit comments on how the extension should be implemented. The due date for submissions is tomorrow, March 12. The educational sector asked for an extension, but the request was denied by the departments leading the consultation process, Heritage Canada and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED). Over the past week, I worked with Darcye to draft the CPSLD/BCOEL submission. It received approval from Trish Rosseel, CPSLD Chair and Director, Learning Resources & Records Management at Douglas College, and one of the association's members who works closely with copyright. It's now with the general CPSLD membership for further comment. We'd also like to invite members of the BCOEL Steering Committee to review the draft and provide feedback (by noon tomorrow, if possible). Please feel free to insert your comments directly in the Google Doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/110lw-5xu99Jju6vOl7HeUWKgZofsiclnFR-eyOE…>. We apologize for the quick turnaround, but there were lots of moving parts. The process has been very collaborative, with lots of information sharing and fruitful discussion amongst PSI copyright specialists, higher ed administrators, and professional associations representing PSIs and libraries. In particular, there was debate about whether an 'opt in' registration system for the additional 20 years of copyright protection is feasible in the context of Canada's obligations under various international copyright treaties. The approach we ultimately suggested aligns with College and Institutes Canada (CICan) and has been endorsed by a number of legal experts/scholars in Canada, including Michael Geist, Howard Knopf, and Meera Nair. A similar model was also proposed the by former Director of the U.S. Copyright Office back in 2013. We look forward to hearing your thoughts! Sincerely, Darcye and Lindsay Lindsay Tripp Copyright Librarian Langara Library 604.323.5290 100 West 49th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Y 2Z6 Unceded Musqueam Territory [Langara Logo]<https://langara.ca/> ________________________________ Please consider the environment before printing.

Re: [Bcoelsteering] Open Textbooks/OER Adoptions

Hello all, I think it is a great idea to share such data as well Darcye and while unfortunately, I have nothing to offer in terms of sharing back, I would find great benefit in knowing what others are using, as it could significantly help with advocacy and speed up helping others find relevant resources. It would be amazing if this could be an open database ☺ a project for one day… While I understand the privacy considerations, I think it is also valuable to know if certain faculty are ok with their names being shared, as this can serve as an extra piece of persuasion for the academic community who might ‘know’ the faculty using OER – it is like a behavioural nudge, if you know that someone you respect is doing this type of work, you might be more likely to do the same. What I want to say is, if a person is comfortable with their name being shared, it may increase the success of advocacy and give credibility to the efforts.

The Open Oregon link is helpful, but even if we don't have the capacity to do something so formal in BC, I really see the value in sharing the information even within this group. I reviewed the individual institution's blogs and websites, but unfortunately the information tends to be fragmented or missing as the posts serve a different purpose. One of the number one reasons faculty cite for not adopting OER is the time it takes to find the right materials. We may be able to cut down on that time for some courses by sharing what other related courses are using (we can redact faculty names if need be). I know we are all very busy right now, so perhaps we can discuss this at our next meeting on March 22. If anyone is willing to share their information before then, it would be much appreciated (no pressure though). At Cap we have a student research assistant collecting our stats right now, but once the document is complete I can share it with anyone who is interested.

Hi BCOEL steering committee, I hope many of you were able to join today's event, or that you can view the recording once it is available from the BCcampus event archives<https://bccampus.ca/events/>. I for one was blown away by the student panelists in particular and left feeling so energized and hopeful! Please join me in thanking our amazing event planning team, without whom this would not have been possible. They oversaw communications, nominated and invited panelists, secured institutional funding and BCcampus tech support, brainstormed discussion questions, and ensured everything ran smoothly before and during the event. Huge thanks to Amanda Grey, Darcye Lovsin, Donna Langille, Hope Power, Lin Brander, and Urooj Nizami. Best Regards, Mia Clarkson

Vital Source update
by Brenda Smith 24 Feb '21

Hi all, So Senate had a "lively" discussion about VitalSource yesterday. I was unable to watch because I had another commitment, but apparently the VP Finance spoke and apologized multiple times for the lack of consultation and how the announcement was written. He has said that a full committee with students, faculty, and staff will be established to have a consultative process to look at textbook affordability. So, it looks like it's at least on hold.

Code of best practices in fair dealing/use in OER
by Lindsay Tripp 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Hi all, I just attended a session for Fair Dealing Week with Dr. Carys Craig from Osgoode Hall Law School. She highlighted a resource that I thought might be of interest to this group: Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Open Educational Resources: A Guide for Authors, Adapters & Adopters of Openly Licensed Teaching and Learning Materials<https://www.wcl.american.edu/impact/initiatives-programs/pijip/documents/co…> (February 17, 2021). Note that Appendix Three (p. 30~) is authored by Carys and focuses on educational fair dealing in Canada. Many thanks, Lindsay
