Dear BCOEL community, Please join us on Thursday, May 27 from 11am-12pm for a conversation about how B.C. colleges and universities are supporting Pressbooks.

by Flewelling, Debra 25 Apr '21

25 Apr '21

Hi everyone, I have a some quick question about PD. Please don’t spend too much time on your responses – I just want to know what you do and think about professional development around open education What do you do for your PD? What would you recommend for PD (and would it be broken down to “new comers” vs. librarians who have been working in this field for a number of years)? Where, if any, is the line between PD and your job in open education? I will appreciate all responses, no matter how brief. Thanks, Debra P.S. See you virtually at Cascadia Debra Flewelling Open Education Librarian Douglas College 604-527-5190 debra.flewelling(a)douglascollege.ca

BCOEL volunteer to join me? - CAUT interview request re: OER, remote instruction & academic freedom
by Langille, Donna 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Sent on behalf of Hope Power Hi all, A colleague put me in touch yesterday with a CAUT representative seeking an interview for a short feature article about "open access and open educational resources, and in particular how the pandemic and remote learning have impacted the debate around these and related issues, including academic freedom." I'm wondering if anyone else from our BCOEL steering committee might be interested and available to join me for this brief interview (20-30 min. via Zoom) this week, or possibly early next week? If so, let me know - and thanks for considering! Much appreciated, Hope -- Hope Power Teaching & Learning Librarian W.A.C. Bennett Library (Burnaby) Simon Fraser University hpower(a)sfu.ca *Please note that I am away on Thursdays this semester. I respectfully acknowledge that SFU Burnaby is located on the unceded and traditional territories of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam and Kwikwetlem First Nations.

Hello all, Nice to see many of you at today's meeting 🙂 As I mentioned, Darcye has expressed interest in the Chair-Elect position. (Thanks, Darcye!) I welcome any other expressions of interest between now and our May 17th meeting (please email me off-list at ltripp(a)langara.ca.) If more than one person is interested, I can arrange a vote. If not, Darcye will be appointed by acclamation. The Chair-Elect position is a two-year commitment (one year as Chair-Elect and one year as Chair). The term follows the academic year (September 1 to August 31). The Chair-Elect's primary duties are recording minutes and running meetings in the Chair's absence -- as Donna had to do today when I joined our call late (THANK YOU!) 😮 Thanks! -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.

Thank you, Mia!
by Lindsay Tripp 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

Hi again all, I forgot to mention - today was Mia's last BCOEL Steering Committee meeting! She joined BCOEL last year while working on a short-term open education contract at Langara and stayed on with the group during her time at CapU. She recently re-joined Langara as our media librarian and this work is leading her away from open ed. That being said, I know Mia remains a strong proponent of open ed and will find other ways to support this work in her new portfolio (for example, she's currently organizing Langara's second annual Open Student Scholar Prize<https://langara.libguides.com/open-education/openstudentscholarprize>). Thanks for your many contributions to BCOEL, Mia - especially in terms of event planning! Sincerely, 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.
