Upcoming Meeting - This Thursday
by Lena Patterson 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Hi Canada OER, In advance of our meeting on Thursday I wanted to send out a quick reminder that we will be using the remaining 15 minutes of the meeting to discuss authoring platforms. I know there are a lot of questions out there, so I think it would be helpful to do a little bit of prep and thinking in advance. So here is my request: send me your questions today or tomorrow and I will put them together in our google doc.<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KuWFCekNe2iKjS4mY5DGzy2KsgMdXidfWtkkSIi…> Looking forward to connecting with you all, Lena // Lena Patterson Operations Director eCampusOntario 416.275.0190 [https://i.xink.io/Images/Get/N87356/e.png] 211 Yonge St. 2nd Floor Toronto, ON, M5B 1M4 ecampusontario.ca<http://ecampusontario.ca>

June Meeting of Canada OER
by Lena Patterson 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Good morning Canada OER! Scheduling our next meeting for late June. Please complete the doodle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/k8eu9v7igvfwwtd2 I have been chatting with some Canada OER keeners about adding 15 minutes to the end of our regular conversation to allow for discussion on a specific topic. It seems that everyone really wants to talk about platforms for open textbook publishing. The plan is to use our regular 45 minutes for updates and then get into a conversation about platforms. The meeting is an hour and 15 minutes as a result, but don’t feel you have to stay for the platform discussion unless you are interested! Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions. Lena Lena Patterson Operations Director eCampusOntario lpatterson(a)ecampusontario.ca<mailto:lpatterson(a)ecampusontario.ca>
