UNESCO Survey on OER Capacity Building Initiatives
by Enkerli, Alexandre 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

If you’ve created courses to build capacity in any aspect of OER, UNESCO has a survey out to collect all these initiatives: OER Capacity Building Initiatives (unesco.org)<https://survey.unesco.org/3/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=284398&lang=en> It was shared by OE Global’s Perrine De Coëtlogon during this morning’s OEGfr session. I seem to remember she mentioned March 30 as a deadline. While the questionnaire is long, URL and name are the only essential parts. Cheers! --Alex [Collecto - Services regroupés en éducation]<http://collecto.ca/> Alexandre Enkerli Conseiller technopédagogique • Accompagnement et innovation en pédagogie numérique T 514 384-9272 F 514 381-2263 collecto.ca<http://collecto.ca/> Actualités<http://collecto.ca/actualites> | LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/collecto/> 👉 PRENDRE UN RENDEZ-VOUS<https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/Collecto1(a)collecto.ca/bookings/>

Question re: H5P and Pressbooks
by Cynthia Holt 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hi Everyone, I have a prof who is on a joint session between the Canada Media Fund, DOCTalks and SSHRC for Congress this June. His concept is to use an H5P branching scenario that will guide users through a series of videos to learn more about using documentary media for knowledge mobilization purposes. He’s wondering if Pressbooks be a good place to host this? The session will be live and synchronous but attendees will have the chance to engage with the videos at their own pace through the session for 15-20 minutes. Also, there are estimates that there could be up to 600 attendees. Does anyone know if Pressbooks is able to handle that level of traffic? I tried posting a question to the H5P Forum, but although I can login to the H5P.org website, I can’t seem to post to the forum, so I thought that I’d take it out to this list as I don’t have much experience yet with H5P. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Cynthia Cynthia Holt Executive Director / Directrice générale Council of Atlantic University Libraries / Conseil des bibliothèques universitaires de l’Atlantique (CAUL-CBUA) 120 Western Parkway, Suite 202, Bedford, NS B4B 0V2 | W: caul-cbua.ca<https://caul-cbua.ca/> | T: 902-830-6467 | E: execdir(a)caul-cbua.ca<mailto:execdir(a)caul-cbua.ca> CAUL-CBUA represents member libraries across the region, all of whom sit on the unceded and traditional territories of First Peoples.
