Looking for OER equivalent to "CPhA Guide to Drugs"
by Jessica Norman 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

Hi All, SAIT's Pharmacy Technician program has been using Canadian Pharmacists Association Guide to Drugs in Canada<https://www.dk.com/ca/book/9781553632931-cpha-guide-to-drugs/> as a textbook. (It's a very specialized drug reference manual that they really like because of the level the content is written at as well as because it's Canada-specific.) However, the book is now out of print, and we've had no success contacting the copyright holder to license the sections they use for classes. We've shared the Canadian nursing pharmacology book<https://opentextbc.ca/nursingpharmacology/> with the faculty, but it was not a good fit. I'm hoping this group might know of any other resources on this topic. Any info is appreciated!

We would like to acknowledge that SAIT is situated on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy. The City of Calgary encompasses a region that the Blackfoot tribes of Southern Alberta described as Moh'kinsstis, meaning 'Elbow,' in reference to its location at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers. Since time immemorial, this region was a traditional gathering place for the tribes of the Blackfoot Confederacy. We are meeting/gathered on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which, today encompasses the Indigenous people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta: the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina, the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the Northwest Métis Homeland - Region 3.

by Hall, Nathan 10 Feb '23

Hello everyone. The group I lead up at Douglas College is interested in adapting the Pressbook "Universal Design for Learning (UDL) for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA)" for British Columbia. https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/universaldesign/ I am looking for two things: 1. Is anyone else already working on adapting this book? If so, how could we help? 2. Is there anyone interested in working with us on this project? Thank you.

Call for Content: Multimedia Anti-Oppression Ally Toolkit (Repost)
by Arianna Cheveldave 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

This message is sent on behalf of Dr. Surita Jhangiani (surita.jhangiani(a)ubc.ca). A similar message was sent out on December 12, 2022. ** Dear colleagues, Join the team behind the Decolonizing Together Symposium at UBC on Thursday, February 9 at 3:30 p.m. Pacific for a virtual information session about their forthcoming Multimedia Ally Toolkit<https://indigenizinglearning.educ.ubc.ca/ally-toolkit/>. Click here to join the Zoom meeting<https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81732285846?pwd=dktsS2ZYamF0N3BZUmE4bmFLR0pEQT09> (meeting ID: 817 3228 5846 and passcode: 067547). As you may recall, the team behind the Decolonizing Together Symposium at UBC is pleased to invite contributions to their forthcoming Multimedia Ally Toolkit. Hosted on the Decolonizing Teaching Indigenizing Learning website<https://indigenizinglearning.educ.ubc.ca/decolonizing-together-symposium/>, this open toolkit will feature text-based, podcast, and video content to bring to light the perspectives and experiences of racialized and marginalized people previously absent in teacher education programming. Through this medium, they aim to address how Indigenous erasure, racism, ableism, and multiple other forms of oppression are taken up in the Faculties of Education at UBC and how to address existing gaps through changes to practice and policy. Building on the thought-provoking presentations during the two Decolonizing Together Symposiums in October 2021 and January 2022, they continue to aim at cultivating a diverse community to create and sustain equitable and inclusive campuses and teacher education experiences. Topics addressed in this toolkit may include anti-racism, anti-oppression, anti-ableism, sexuality and gender discrimination, inclusive learning practice, and settler of colour experiences. Their goal is to provide in-service and pre-service teachers with practical and applicable approaches to addressing this content in their teaching, or for facing challenges related to these issues as they arise in day-to-day practice. Interested contributors are asked to send a brief proposal (maximum 300 words) to the team by March 1, 2023. Final papers and other content are due July 1, 2023. Parameters for final works: * Papers: 3500–5000 words (not including references) * Audio: 10–15 minutes of podcast feed or other audio recording * Video: 10 minutes in length Submission timeline: * Proposals due: March 1, 2023 * Acceptance notification: April 1, 2023 * Final works submitted: July 1, 2023 * Publication: September 1, 2023 Please direct any questions to Dr. Surita Jhangiani (surita.jhangiani(a)ubc.ca).

New OER: Introduction to Criminology
by Amanda Grey 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

You may have already seen this elsewhere, but I wanted to share! Introduction to Criminology Edited by Dr. Shereen Hassan and Dan Lett, MAS  [cid:image001.png(a)01D937D5.F954DB70] Link to Resource: Introduction to Criminology<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/introcrim/> Although this open education resource (OER) is written with the needs and abilities of first-year undergraduate criminology students in mind, it is designed to be flexible. As a whole, the OER is amply broad to serve as the main textbook for an introductory course, yet each chapter is deep enough to be useful as a supplement for subject-area courses; authors use plain and accessible language as much as possible, but introduce more advanced, technical concepts where appropriate; the text gives due attention to the historical “canon” of mainstream criminological thought, but it also challenges many of these ideas by exploring alternative, critical, and marginalized perspectives. After all, criminology is more than just the study of crime and criminal law; it is an examination of the ways human societies construct, contest, and defend ideas about right and wrong, the meaning of justice, the purpose and power of laws, and the practical methods of responding to broken rules and of mending relationships. Special thanks to Leah Ballantyne, LLB LLM, a Cree lawyer from the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation in Pukatawagan, Manitoba, who provided expert Indigenous consultation/editing for this textbook.  This OER was jointly funded and supported by KPU Arts, KPU OER Grants, KPU OPUS, BCcampus and the Justice Institute of BC.     Check out the KPU Pressbooks Catalogue<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/catalog/openkpu> of works published by the Open Publishing Suite (OPUS)<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.  Learn more about KPU Open Education<http://www.kpu.ca/open>.
