27 Apr '21

FYI – à titre d’information ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Paul Stacey <paulgordonstacey(a)gmail.com<mailto:paulgordonstacey(a)gmail.com>> Date: Fri, Apr 23, 2021, 1:01 PM Subject: [LibOER] Open Education Global 2021 Conference To: SPARC Libraries & OER Forum <liboer(a)sparcopen.org<mailto:liboer(a)sparcopen.org>> Hi there SPARC open education colleagues. We’re excited to announce that the call for proposals for the Open Education Global 2021 conference<https://conference.oeglobal.org/2021/> is now open until May 7th. This year Open Education Global<https://www.oeglobal.org/> (OEGlobal) is trying something different by having the conference focus on raising awareness of, and taking action on, the UNESCO OER Recommendation<http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=49556&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION…>. The conference has a five day online conference component running from Sept-27 through Oct-1, with each day focusing on a different action area of the Recommendation, and an in-person congress 5-7-Oct (pandemic permitting) in Nantes France. A special aspect of this years conference is support for sessions in all six of the official UNESCO languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish). We see this as a significant step forward in embracing the diversity and inclusion aspects of open education. The conference website is now live<https://conference.oeglobal.org/2021/> and the Call for Proposals<https://conference.oeglobal.org/2021/call-for-proposals/> for the online conference portion of the event is open. I invite you all to submit a proposal and it will be super helpful if you could circulate the conference website and call for proposals through your networks and encourage others to submit. Thanks for your help in advancing open education through this global community effort. Paul --

CARL Webinar on Advancing National Capacity for OER in Canada - Webinaire sur la collaboration pour faire progresser la capacité du Canada en matière de REL
by Lise Brin 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Dear OE practitioners across Canada, praticiens et praticiennes de l’ÉO au Canada, CARL is pleased to announce the following panel that we hope will launch many future conversations across PSE stakeholder groups in Canada on how to collaborate to increase opportunities around OER across the country. Il nous fait grand plaisir d'annoncer la table ronde suivante qui, nous l'espérons, lancera de nombreuses conversations futures entre les groupes d'intervenants de l'enseignement postsecondaire au Canada sur les façons de collaborer pour accroître les possibilités en matière de REL à travers le pays. **** Webinar: How Can We Successfully Collaborate to Advance National Capacity for OER in Canada? https://www.carl-abrc.ca/mini-site-page/webinar-advancing-national-capacity… Date: Thursday, April 22, 2021 Time: 1 p.m. ET Register here (all are welcome): https://bit.ly/39Wd707 Funding by provincial governments to encourage the development or use of open education resources (OER) in post-secondary education has been far from consistent across Canada, ranging from long-standing programs of annual funding for OER production and promotion to limited short-term project funding or in a few cases, no contributions at all. Yet it is clear that the investments made to date – not only by provincial governments but also by individual institutions or consortia – have produced important results, demonstrated by increased adoption of OER textbooks and reduction in student expenses. (For more background, see CARL Open Education Working Group’s 2020 Environmental Scan of Open Education Service and Support in Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/OEWG_environmental_scan…>.) So how can we strengthen OER adoption further, better ensuring that all post-secondary students have opportunities to benefit from regionally relevant OER, and that faculty and instructors who wish to incorporate open education in their teaching have the supports and incentives to allow them to do so? Panelists will discuss strategies and opportunities for advancing Canada’s national OER capacity, whether through funding, training, infrastructure, or advocacy. SPARC’s experience with obtaining funding commitments at the federal level and with a variety of state-level policy strategies in the US will also be presented to help inform the discussion. This webinar will be recorded, and will be offered with simultaneous interpretation in order to accommodate francophone and anglophone presenters and attendees. CARL wishes to thank the SPARC team for their support in planning and delivering this webinar. Moderator: Bibi Wasiimah Joomun, Executive Director, New Brunswick Student Alliance Panelists: Hailey Babb, Open Education Project Manager, SPARC Cynthia Holt, Executive Director, Council of Atlantic University Libraries Gabrielle Lamontagne, Coordinator, Collaborative Projects and Indigenization, BC Campus Kalin McCluskey, Executive Director, Canadian Alliance of Student Associations Michael McNally, Associate Professor, School of Library and Information Studies, University of Alberta Lucie Vincent-LeBlanc, Executive Director, Consortium national en développement de ressources pédagogiques en français au collégial ---- Webinaire : Quelle est la recette d'une collaboration fructueuse pour faire progresser la capacité du Canada en matière de REL ? https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/mini-site-page/webinaire-faire-progresser-la-ca… Date : Jeudi 22 avril 2021 Heure : 13h HE Inscription (tous sont les bienvenus) : https://bit.ly/39Wd707 Le financement accordé par les gouvernements provinciaux pour favoriser la production et l'utilisation de ressources éducatives libres (REL) dans l'enseignement postsecondaire varie énormément au Canada ; certaines provinces ont établi des programmes de financement annuel pour la production et la promotion des REL, d'autres accordent un financement ponctuel par projet à court terme et quelques provinces n'offrent rien du tout. Pourtant, les investissements réalisés à ce jour — non seulement par les gouvernements provinciaux, mais aussi par des établissements ou des consortiums — ont clairement produit des résultats importants, comme en témoignent l'adoption accrue de manuels en REL et la réduction des dépenses des étudiantes et étudiants. (Pour plus de renseignements, consultez l’Analyse du contexte du service et du soutien à l’éducation ouverte au Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/GTDO_analyse_du_context…> du Groupe de travail sur l'éducation ouverte de l'ABRC de 2020) Alors, comment pouvons-nous faire progresser l'adoption des REL de sorte que tous les étudiantes et étudiants de niveau postsecondaire puissent bénéficier de REL pertinentes sur le plan régional et que les membres du corps professoral et le personnel d’enseignement qui souhaitent intégrer l'éducation ouverte dans leur enseignement disposent du soutien et des mesures incitatives qui leur permettent de le faire ? Les panélistes discuteront des stratégies et des possibilités pour augmenter la capacité nationale en matière de REL, que ce soit par le biais du financement, de la formation, de l'infrastructure ou du plaidoyer. L'expérience de SPARC dans l'obtention d'engagements de financement auprès du gouvernement fédéral et dans la mise en place de diverses stratégies politiques auprès des États américains sera également présentée afin d'éclairer la discussion. Ce webinaire sera enregistré et offert avec un service d’interprétation simultanée afin d'accommoder les présentations et la participation en français et en anglais. L'ABRC souhaite remercier l’équipe de SPARC pour son soutien dans la planification et la présentation de ce webinaire.

FW: Register / Inscrivez-vous : Code of Best Practices in Fair Use (and Fair Dealing in Canada) for OER Webinar and Workshop// Webinaire et atelier sur le code de pratique exemplaire en matière d'utilisation équitable pour les REL
by Lise Brin 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

Dear Canadian OE practitioners, chers praticiens en ÉO du Canada, In addition to the Open Education Cross-Canada Coffee Chat<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/mini-site-page/april2021-oecccc/> that was announced last week and will cover a similar topic, CARL is pleased to co-present, along with ARL, the following webinar and workshop. Note that this session is 90 minutes and not Canadian-specific, while the coffee chat will be about the Canadian context and less in-depth, more discussion-based. En plus du pause-café de la communauté des ressources éducatives libres du Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/mini-site-page/appel-oecccc-avril2021/> qui a été annoncé la semaine dernière et qui portera sur un sujet semblable, l'ABRC est heureuse de coprésenter, avec l'ARL, le webinaire et l'atelier suivants. Notez que cette séance dure 90 minutes et n'est pas spécifique au Canada, tandis que l’appel pause-café portera sur le contexte canadien et sera moins approfondi, plus axé sur la discussion. ======================== Code of Best Practices in Fair Use (and Fair Dealing in Canada) for OER Webinar and Workshop Date: Monday April 19, 2021 Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm ET Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqd-ioqDgqGdBYwQhQEQIo3PfZCdpz_C… Fair use and fair dealing are the rights to use copyrighted content without asking the rightsholder for permission. This statutory safeguard is key to a balanced copyright regime, allowing creativity and knowledge to flourish without constraint. Because the context in which librarians, teachers, musicians, journalists, and others rely on fair use varies, these and other communities<https://cmsimpact.org/report-list/codes/> have developed codes of best practices for fair use that are based on common scenarios in their fields. The newest code is on Open Educational Resources (OER), specifically what fair use enables with respect to using copyrighted material as “inserts.” The codes are not manuals—they are frameworks for decision-making according to community standards. Join ARL and CARL on April 19th from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Eastern for a panel discussion of the new code of best practices<https://www.wcl.american.edu/impact/initiatives-programs/pijip/documents/co…> in fair use for OER, including its Canadian appendix<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Strengthening_Canadian_…>, and what’s next for codes of best practice in the US and Canada. Then, stay for an “off the record” workshop with the authors to build confidence in your own fair use of copyrighted materials for OER. Please visit the event page<https://www.arl.org/event/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-fair-dealing-f…> for the complete list of panelists and more information about the event. ------------ Webinaire et atelier sur le code de pratique exemplaire en matière d'utilisation équitable pour les REL Date : Lundi 19 avril 2021 Time : 11 h à 12 h 30 HE Inscription : https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqd-ioqDgqGdBYwQhQEQIo3PfZCdpz_C… L'utilisation équitable est le droit d'utiliser un contenu protégé par le droit d'auteur sans demander l'autorisation du titulaire des droits. Cette caution judiciaire est essentielle à un régime de droit d'auteur équilibré, permettant à la créativité et à la connaissance de s'épanouir sans contrainte. Étant donné que le contexte dans lequel les bibliothécaires, les enseignants, les musiciens, les journalistes et d'autres personnes recourent à l'utilisation équitable varie, ces communautés et d'autres<https://cmsimpact.org/report-list/codes/> ont élaboré des codes de pratique exemplaires en matière d'utilisation équitable, basés sur des scénarios courants dans leurs domaines. Le code le plus récent porte sur les ressources éducatives libres (REL), et plus particulièrement sur ce que permet l'usage en ce qui concerne l'utilisation de matériel protégé par le droit d'auteur sous forme « d’encarts ». Les codes ne sont pas des manuels, mais des cadres pour la prise de décisions selon les normes de la communauté. Joignez-vous à l'ARL et à l'ABRC le 19 avril de 11 h à 12 h 30 (heure de l'Est) pour une discussion en groupe sur le nouveau code de pratique exemplaire<https://www.wcl.american.edu/impact/initiatives-programs/pijip/documents/co…> en matière d'utilisation équitable pour les REL, y compris son annexe canadienne<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Renforcer_droits_utilis…>, et sur les prochaines étapes pour les codes de pratique exemplaires aux États-Unis et au Canada. Ensuite, restez pour un atelier « à huis clos » avec les auteurs pour renforcer votre confiance dans votre propre utilisation équitable de matériel protégé par le droit d'auteur pour les REL. Veuillez consulter le site de l’événement<https://www.arl.org/event/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-fair-dealing-f…> pour voir la liste complète des conférenciers ainsi pour plus amples renseignements sur l’événement.

Dear colleagues, In collaboration with open-education librarians in B.C., BCcampus is happy to announce the newly formed LaTeX Learning Community<https://bccampus.ca/event/latex-learning-community-2/>, which began providing one-hour drop-in sessions last month. These sessions provide assistance to a broad range of users tackling LaTeX<https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/chapter/what-is-latex/> in Pressbooks, from beginners to experienced users. While these sessions are limited to members of the B.C. and Yukon post-secondary systems, each session will be recorded and posted in BCcampus's Events Archives<https://bccampus.ca/events/events-archive/>. A recording of the first (March 17, 2021<https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/chapter/latex-support/#latexrecordings>) drop-in session is now available. To complement the recordings, a new LaTeX Questions Answered<https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/part/latex/> section has been added to the BCcampus Pressbooks Guide<https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/>. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.
