Meeting Reminder for Monday
by Flewelling, Debra 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Hello, Just a reminder of our meeting on Monday at BCIT downtown. There will be light breakfast at 8:30 and the meeting will start at 9 AM. Classroom 400 555 Seymour Street http://www.bcit.ca/about/downtown.shtml Please think about what activities you would be interested in doing in the afternoon. I think Caroline mentioned something about creative commons licenses - perhaps look at tools?

BCOEL June 26th - Please respond ASAP
by Flewelling, Debra 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

Hello, Lin needs to place the catering order by this Friday so we need to know how many people can make it that day and whether you have any dietary requirements. Also, we roughly laid out a plan that we would do business in the morning and a project in the afternoon. So as to not waste any time on the day, we should come up with more details on what we are doing. Please share your thoughts and ideas.

BCLA conference slides
by Martin Warkentin 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

Hi, all. Attached are the powerpoint slides from the BCLA session on OER in both pptx format and open document format. I finally tried uploading the file to the library toolshed, but apparently I have triggered the spam filter, so I will have to wait until that is resolved. It is supposed to live here: https://librarytoolshed.ca/content/collaborative-effort-institutional-oer-i… Note the CC license on the first slide. I believe we once briefly discussed preparing a stock statement that could be applied to any of the original work we complete/undertake. All the statement really needs added is the home URL of whatever content we are licensing. Not sure if we want to designate a BCOEL home location for this file and future content? -Martin Martin Warkentin Copyright Librarian University of the Fraser Valley 33844 King Road, Abbotsford, BC Canada V2S 7M8 (604) 504-7441 Ext. 4460

Top Hat
by Brenda Smith 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Hi everyone, I've had an instructor here contact me about Top Hat. What do you think? Do you guys know anyone using it? Pros? Cons? I saw what Amy Hofer from Open Oregon wrote about it, but was wondering if you guys knew anything. Amy's concerns were that students lose access to the platform and the data in the platform can't be exported, so any custom versions of open textbooks/question banks/etc. can't be used elsewhere. And the Top Hat content is under copyright even though it can be modified within the platform itself. Thanks, Brenda

30 May '17

Hello, At the Open Textbook Summit we discussed getting together for a full day in June to do business in the morning and project work in the afternoon. We are tentatively planning to meet downtown at BCIT. Here's the Doodle to find a day that will work for the majority - http://doodle.com/poll/4uv7p9rewumenk6h Debra Debra Flewelling Open Education & Emerging Technologies 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]

Meeting during the Open Textbook Summit
by Rosario Passos 23 May '17

23 May '17

Hi there everyone, Apologies for the very short notice on informing you of the following... So, we had agreed as a group that we would meet for lunch during the OT Summit. We only needed a room or a space where we could get together. So... Christy did a great job and got us a place: We have booked room 101 https://www.sfu.ca/mecs/facilities/harbour-centre/meeting-rooms/boardrooms.… on Day 1 of the Summit from 12 - 2pm... So, the plan is for us to grab our lunch food and move to this room for a lunch meeting. The only thing we are asked to do is to bring our lunch remains to the garbage and leave the room as tidy as possible. So, see you all there tomorrow. Cheers, Rosario -- *Rosario Passos* Instructional Designer Cascadia Interactive Solutions Ltd. Tel: 604 469 3595 M: 236 888 8599 Skype: portuguese_woman

This includes the amalgamation of course content and study skills exercises, development of online assignments, and interactive practice problem assignments. These developments will offer social calculus students three types of high-quality assessment along with cost-free course content that weaves the learning of reading and studying skills into the material in order to enhance their mathematical learning experience."

Here’s Rajiv’s email: Hello everyone, I recently met with a faculty member at Carleton U who is interested in developing OER and wants to connect with others in his field who already have. Do any of you know of any Math faculty on your campuses involved in OER adoption who would be willing to connect with him? His name is Kevin Cheung and his email address is KEVINCHEUNG(a)CUNET.CARLETON.CA<mailto:KEVINCHEUNG(a)CUNET.CARLETON.CA> Many thanks, Rajiv Debra From: Bcoelsteering [mailto:bcoelsteering-bounces(a)mail.bccampus.ca] On Behalf Of Martin Warkentin Sent: May-10-17 4:44 PM To: 'bcoelsteering' Subject: [Bcoelsteering] Open math practitioners? Hi, all. There is a UFV math faculty member very interested in completing an open textbook on calculus he started a couple of years ago. We’ve had a few conversations in the past, but he has had time constraints, as well as some uncertainties around recombining open licensed content that I haven’t quite been able to alleviate yet. He also has a different pedagogical approach in mind, and one that he apparently cannot easily work into the existing BC Campus calculus texts. The details escape me, but it made a lot of sense to me as someone who never responded well to traditional approaches of teaching math. So quite some time after starting and outlining from scratch, he has realised it will be more efficient to complete by incorporating existing content. And I now get the impression he is looking for some collaboration opportunities with others who have specifically worked with open math content. Do any of you know of anyone actively using and revising math content? Many thanks. -Martin Martin Warkentin Copyright Librarian University of the Fraser Valley 33844 King Road, Abbotsford, BC Canada V2S 7M8 (604) 504-7441 Ext. 4460 _______________________________________________ Bcoelsteering mailing list Bcoelsteering(a)mail.bccampus.ca<mailto:Bcoelsteering(a)mail.bccampus.ca> http://lists.bccampus.ca/mailman/listinfo/bcoelsteering _______________________________________________ Bcoelsteering mailing list Bcoelsteering(a)mail.bccampus.ca<mailto:Bcoelsteering(a)mail.bccampus.ca> http://lists.bccampus.ca/mailman/listinfo/bcoelsteering -- Amanda Coolidge Senior Manager, Open Education BCcampus | connect.collaborate.innovate. 120- 645 Fort Street | Victoria BC V8W 1G2 Tel 250-818-4592 | www.bccampus.ca<http://www.bccampus.ca> Skype: coolidge.amanda Twitter: @acoolidge [cid:image001.png(a)01D2CA4E.FFCBC590]
