Looking for Systems Thinking/Philosophy OER
by Canada Open Education Resources 30 Nov '23

30 Nov '23

Hi All, This message is cross posted. A faculty member is looking to develop an OER on Systems Philosophy or Systems Thinking in Philosophy. I've checked the typical repositories, and provided general Philosophy works from OER Commons, Rebus, OAPEN, etc. I'm checking with the instructor now to see if systems thinking content from other disciplines (science, business, computing) would be useful. I'm wondering if anyone on the list knows of a text focused on systems philosophy specifically? Any leads are appreciated! Cheers, Jessica [cid:dd7612b8-c8ba-4da8-b34a-9dd8384713a2] Jessica Norman, MLS Open Educational Resources Librarian, Reg Erhardt Library Liaison to: Construction, Manufacturing & Automation SAFA Table Officer, Division IV (She/Her) Book an appointment<https://sait.libcal.com/appointment/16446> Southern Alberta Institute of Technology Stan Grad Building, MC113 (Office) 403.210.4073 jessica.norman(a)sait.ca<mailto:jessica.norman(a)sait.ca> Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.

Hi everyone! (apologies for cross posting!) We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Lorrain's Logbook: Notes from a Missionary in Mizoram, Northeast India (1891-1936) Edited by Kyle Jackson; Natasha McConnell; and Nick Gill Lorrain’s Logbook: Notes from a Missionary in Mizoram, Northeast India (1891-1936) expands the archive for students of Northeast India. Authored by James Herbert Lorrain (Pu Buanga)—one of the most significant missionaries and linguists to operate in the colonial Indo-Burma borderlands—the Logbook is a record of personal observations across decades, from Lorrain’s arrival in Bengal in 1890 to his departure in 1932 from the Lushai Hills District (today: Mizoram). This entirely new digital transcription and text-searchable online educational resource (OER) unlocks a vital archival source for researchers of imperial frontiers, Asian borderlands, missionization, Mizo history, and beyond. It features an introduction co-authored by Dr. Kyle Jackson (Kwantlen Polytechnic University) and Prof. Joy L. K. Pachuau (Jawaharlal Nehru University).
