Hello everyone, It is with great joy that I share a report that I am proud to have co-authored with my collaborators Oya Pakkal<https://www.linkedin.com/in/oya-pakkal-8a38b9249/>, Catherine Lachaîne<https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherine-lacha%C3%AEne-51923791/>, and Robert Luke<https://www.linkedin.com/in/raluke/>. The report focuses on the capacity of Ontario's post-secondary institutions to support open educational practices and is based on a Province-wide survey of Ontario’s colleges, universities, and Indigenous institutes using our Institutional Self-Assessment (ISAT2) tool<https://inclusiveeducationlab.com/isat2/>. This research project was supported by an Insight Development Grant from the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada. The report, which will be formally launched tomorrow at eCampusOntario's Technology + Education Seminar + Showcase<https://www.ecampusontario.ca/tessconference/> event at the Toronto Reference Library, is available online in English and French at: https://www.ecampusontario.ca/on-a-path-to-open/ https://www.ecampusontario.ca/fr/sur-la-voie-de-louverture/ Additional research is planned in other jurisdictions, including in British Columbia, in partnership with BCcampus. If you are interested in doing similar work in your institutional or regional context, please do reach out. Thank you, Rajiv Rajiv Jhangiani, Ph.D. (he/him/his)[A button for name playback in email signature]<https://www.name-coach.com/rajiv-jhangiani> Vice Provost, Teaching and Learning Brock University Niagara Region | 1812 Sir Isaac Brock Way | St. Catharines, Ontario L2S 3A1 e rjhangiani(a)brocku.ca<mailto:rjhangiani(a)brocku.ca> | w brocku.ca<https://brocku.ca/> My working hours might vary substantially from yours. Please do not feel any pressure or obligation to respond to messages outside of your working hours. Brock University is located on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. The territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Agreement. Today these lands are the home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples and acknowledging them reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
