Fw: [LibOER] Announcing SPARC Open Education Leadership Program for 2018-2019
by Flewelling, Debra 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Hi everyone, Have you seen this announcement? I have say I was disappointed when I saw the price. Douglas College is not a SPARC member so with the exchange rate, the cost for me would be around $5,360 - plus going to the Open Ed Conference would probably be at least another $2,000. I get $600 a year for my PD. Hope, I know you were part of the beta group. Would you give us a sense of how much work it involved and what you got out of the experience? They indicate the hours per week on the announcement but is 8 hours a week accurate? Thanks, Debra ________________________________ From: Debra Flewelling <debra.flewelling(a)gmail.com> Sent: April 12, 2018 1:55 PM To: Flewelling, Debra Subject: Fwd: [LibOER] Announcing SPARC Open Education Leadership Program for 2018-2019 Sent from my iPad Begin forwarded message: From: Nicole Allen <nicole(a)sparcopen.org<mailto:nicole(a)sparcopen.org>> Date: April 12, 2018 at 6:16:12 AM PDT To: sparc-members(a)sparcopen.org<mailto:sparc-members(a)sparcopen.org>, SPARC Libraries & OER Forum <liboer(a)sparcopen.org<mailto:liboer(a)sparcopen.org>> Subject: [LibOER] Announcing SPARC Open Education Leadership Program for 2018-2019 Dear SPARC members, SPARC is pleased to share that we are officially launching our Open Education Leadership Program<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsparcopen.…> this fall, building our successful pilot. The program is open to U.S. and Canadian academic and research library professionals who want to take their work on open education to the next level, whether that's starting a new initiative or building on an existing one. We will begin accepting applications to enroll in the 2018-2019 cohort starting the week of April 23, and SPARC member institutions will receive priority enrollment and a discounted tuition rate. Read on for more, or view our full announcement here<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsparcopen.…>. SPARC launched our Open Education Leadership Program<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsparcopen.…> pilot last fall to answer the growing demand among our membership for professional development to equip library staff as open education leaders. Our intensive two-semester program blends online, peer-to-peer, and project-based learning to build a comprehensive understanding of the open education space coupled with practical know-how to take action on campus and beyond. The program also fosters a community of practice among each cohort, which pilot fellows say has forged connections and collaborations that will provide critical support for their work into the future. SPARC will open applications for the 2018-2019 cohort starting the week of April 23. Click here<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.googl…> to sign up to be notified when applications open. In the meantime, we wanted to share some details about the program for planning purposes: * Tuition: The SPARC member tuition rate is $2,500 covering both semesters, which reflects a grant-funded subsidy available for the 2018-2019 cohort. A limited number of additional discounts are available based on institutional need. The unsubsidized non-member rate is $4,250. * Travel: Fellows are required to attend the Open Education Conference<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fopenedconfe…> on October 10-12, 2018 in Niagara Falls, NY as a mandatory part of the program. Funding and arrangements are the responsibility of each institution. * Time Commitment: The program runs September 24 through May 2018 with a one-month winter break. Time commitment is 8 hours per week to complete an online course during the fall, and an average of 5 hours per week to complete a capstone project during the spring. * Eligibility: Library professionals employed at academic or research libraries in the U.S. or Canada are eligible to apply. The program is geared toward those with open education responsibilities in their job description, regardless of the type of role within the library or experience level. * Notification Timeline: SPARC will open applications for the 2018-2019 cohort during the week of April 23rd. Applications received by May 11th will be reviewed and notified by June 1st. After May 11th, applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis as space is available. Click here<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fopenedconfe…> to be notified when applications open. SPARC will be posting additional details on our website over the coming weeks, and also spotlighting some of the incredible work that our pilot cohort has achieved through their capstone projects. We are thrilled to bring this exciting opportunity to SPARC members, and look forward to engaging a new cohort of leaders come fall. As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Early resignation as Chair of BCOEL
by Flewelling, Debra 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

Hi everyone, Normally I would stay on as Chair of the BCOEL until we have our spring/summer meeting but I have to resign early due to a medical leave. It is nothing dire (hip replacement) but it means I'll be off for a while. Brenda is the Chair Elect and we just talked today and she has kindly agreed to take on the Chair's duties early. Since Brenda is now Chair, we would like to ask for a volunteer for Chair Elect. For a list of duties see the following https://docs.google.com/document/d/10xQqvK2Q08uGab7_ny8NeYFx7ZBAKodgZg3l3U7… Let me know if you have any problems viewing this document and let me know if you're interested in being the Chair Elect. 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]

Martin's OER lessons and workshop
by Flewelling, Debra 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Hi, See Martin's email below to more details on the classes and workshop he did at UFV (as I mentioned at our last meeting). Debra From: Martin Warkentin [mailto:Martin.Warkentin(a)ufv.ca] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2018 9:26 AM To: Flewelling, Debra <flewellingd(a)douglascollege.ca> Subject: Regrets on BCOER meeting Debra, Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the February 28th BCOER meeting, but I will pass along a couple of comments for possible discussion. 1. Wiki deactivation - Too bad, of course, but glad I didn't end up investing a lot of time in converting the OK open education libguide. One thought I had was re-purposing the wiki content into a Pressbooks publication. Everyone probably has some experience with the platform, its use seems to be increasing and therefore likely to be around for a while, and it has a number of export options that could keep the content shareable/resuable (though my memory on the specifics is fuzzy). Wondering what others think? 2. I have two lesson designs, content, and observations from my use that I hope will interest a few people in some 5R collaboration to produce some more polished and useful advocacy and teaching content. The first is a Creative Commons workshop I did for an internal professional development day. After an overview of CC licenses, participants are given a series of exercises that involve figuring out how differently licensed content can be combined in an OER product, including a hypothetical sample of their own content with their preferred licenses assigned. Some treatment of Traditional Knowledge licenses is also covered. The second is an attempt to integrate OER advocacy with a library research session for first-year research and writing course (English 105 here at UFV). This is my first stab at one of the goals of a working group (Lin, Shawnna, and I - can't remember how we articulated the goal). The classroom results were pretty good: the discussion resonated with the students and I seem to have persuaded the instructor to consider using OERs. I am not going to be able to assemble and send out all the materials and further details before next week's meeting - and a lot is still in generally incomprehensible handwritten notes. But hopefully the above descriptions pique some interest. Anyway, my schedule is opening up a bit in the next couple of months, so I have to get myself back in the BCOER loop. Thanks. -Martin Martin Warkentin Copyright Librarian University of the Fraser Valley 33844 King Road, Abbotsford, BC Canada V2S 7M8 (604) 504-7441 Ext. 4460

BCOEL website
by Lin Brander 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

I'm sending this to all because I'm not totally sure who is updating the website. On this part of the website: https://bcoel.ca/bcoel-organization-20172018/ The recruitment and external engagement and PD names are still mixed up. I should be listed under PD. I know that we agreed that all members of the steering committee would be on one of these three working groups so other names must also be missing. Working Groups Website and Networked Tools Caroline Daniels, Michel Castagné, Lucas Wright Recruitment and External Engagement Hope Power, Martin Warkentin Professional Development and Advocacy Debra Flewelling, Brenda Smith These are the people listed on the steering committee - I don't think these names are all correct. Steering Committee * Lin Brander * Caroline Daniels * Hope Power * Brenda Smith * Martin Warkentin * Erin Fields * Karen Meijer-Kline * Katherine Miller * Leva Lee * Lucas Wright * Michel Castagné * Rosario Passos * Shawnna Parlongo

MediaWiki Access
by Brenda Smith 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Hi all, I went to go into the Media Wiki to update a dead link on one of the Guide pages (this one: https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca/index.php/Guide-Find-Open-textbooks) but I couldn't log in. I began to wonder if my password was wrong, so I clicked on the "forgot my password" link. It said that my email address couldn't be found on the server. Any idea what's going on? Have you had the same problem? Thanks, Brenda
