CFP: Lightning Talks on Open Education (proposals due Dec. 10)
by Hendricks, Christina 01 Dec '22

01 Dec '22

Dear Colleagues, Following up on Alexandre’s message to this list a little bit ago with more information! 😊 We are excited to announce the second annual offering of The Open Education Talks<https://werklund.ucalgary.ca/teaching-learning/instructor-resources/opened>, first offered in 2022 as The Open Pedagogy Talks, a series of lightning talks focusing on open education in postsecondary institutions. These 15-minute talks will be about facets of open education, including open pedagogy and learning, utilizing open educational resources, and integrating open strategies in higher education. The purpose of these talks is to create an accessible, virtual space to engage in conversations about open education. We encourage talks that are student-led or otherwise showcase the important role of student-educator collaborations in open education, and welcome proposals from educators, students, administrators, librarians, instructional designers, and all other roles related to the design, delivery, and evaluation of open education in postsecondary institutions. For these talks, we share our understanding of open education, which is from the UNESCO Cape Town Declaration: “…open education is not limited to just open educational resources. It also draws upon open technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible learning and the open sharing of teaching practices that empower educators to benefit from the best ideas of their colleagues'' (UNESCO Cape Town Declaration, 2018). Interested speakers are invited to submit a proposal for a 15-minute talk that falls under the umbrella of one of the following topics: * Exploring Open Education:: These talks focus on the facets of open education, why it has been impactful in higher education, and examples in higher education. * Open Learning Design: These talks focus on integrating open learning principles into current and future program and course designs. * Creating Open Educational Resources: These talks focus on creating, identifying, using, and sharing open educational resources in higher education. * Open Scholarship and Research Practices: These talks focus on how educators and learners integrate open research into their courses and scholarship of teaching and learning practices. Important Dates: * Proposal Deadline: December 10, 2022 * Speakers Notified: January 10, 2023 * Registration Open: February 1, 2023 Talks Schedule: Every Wednesday in March, 2023 at 12:30 PM MST Submission: Please submit your proposal<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=7KAJxuOlMUaWhhkigL2RUUg…> by December 10, 2022. Open Education Talks Working Group: This initiative has been developed in partnership with the University of Calgary, Thompson Rivers University, Concordia University (Edmonton), the University of Alberta, and the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. If you have questions or would like more information, you can contact me: christina.hendricks(a)ubc.ca<mailto:christina.hendricks(a)ubc.ca>. Please feel free to share this invitation with your network. Thank you and we look forward to learning alongside you in this endeavor!

Course marking - Environmental scan
by Roen Janyk 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

Hi all, I am working with the BC Open Education Librarians group to plan an event for Open Education week in March. As part of our planning, we are wondering which Canadian institutions are marking courses as having open textbooks or being 'Zed Cred' in their course registration system. If this is something your organization is doing please let me know. We are also interested in the ERP/course registration system you use, such as Banner. Thank you! Roen Roën Janyk, BA MLIS Web Services Librarian Okanagan College Kelowna, BC (250) 762-5445 x.4660 | L101A rjanyk(a)okanagan.bc.ca<mailto:rjanyk(a)okanagan.bc.ca> I respectfully acknowledge that our campuses are located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Sylix Okanagan, Secwepemc, and Sinixt peoples.

Opening Up Copyright Update
by Michael McNally 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Hello OER Colleagues, The University of Alberta’s *Opening Up Copyright (OUC) <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/>* instructional modules team is pleased to announce the launch of five new modules: - Copyright in the K-12 Context <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/copyright-in-the-k-12-c…> - Creating and Sharing Copyright Protected Materials in the K-12 Context <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/creating-and-sharing-co…> - Introduction to Copyright <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/introduction-to-copyrig…> - Working With Copyright <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/working-with-copyright/> - Opening Up Copyright: An Introduction <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/opening-up-copyright-ou…> The first two modules address copyright in the K-12 context, and were developed in collaboration with Dr. Cathy Adams (University of Alberta, Faculty of Education) and with support from the University of Alberta's Support for Advancement of Scholarship (SAS) fund. The next three modules introduce users to both the topic of copyright and the series itself. After five years the project has 35 modules total, and is now able to provide instructional resources from the most introductory aspects of copyright to explorations of specific sections of the *Copyright Act* and relevant case law. In addition, the following article has been added to the Scholarly Contributions <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/scholarly-contributions/> section of the website: Guy, J., and McNally, M. B. (2022). “Ten key factors for making educational and instructional videos.” Scholarly and Research Communication, 13(2): 1-18. https://doi.org/10.22230/src.2022v13n2a423 Special thanks to all the contributors to the series, and specifically the seven Graduate Research Assistants, whose hard work and creativity has been crucial to its development and success over the past five years. In Winter 2023 we will begin working on the review and updating of all the instructional modules, with a focus on the following: - Access Copyright v. York University - Public Domain, and other modules that deal with term length If you or someone you know might be interested in translating the modules, the OUC team would be happy to discuss potential funding possibilities to facilitate both translating and a research study of how the modules must be adapted (with respect to script, visuals, and the final videos themselves). All of the OUC modules, including slides and scripts, are published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence. This means they can be adopted and adapted by anyone. If you are linking to, adopting, or adapting the modules we would love to hear about it! We can be reached at ouc(a)ualberta.ca Michael, on behalf of the (current) OUC team -- Michael McNally, Adrian Sheppard, and Amanda Wakaruk

Call for Authors: OER and Tenure and Promotion Case Studies
by Amanda Coolidge (she/her) 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Dear Open Education Colleagues: The DOERS3 Collaborative<https://www.doers3.org/>, building on its previous work with the DOERS3 OER Contributions Matrix<https://www.doers3.org/tenure-and-promotion.html>, seeks authors for a book-length project<https://www.doers3.org/tandpcallforauthors.html> centered around valuing open education work in the tenure, promotion, and reappointment process. To that end, we are interested in case studies written by faculty, staff, and administrators detailing their experiences trying to appropriately value OER and open educational work in that process. A critical part of sustaining OER and open educational practices in higher education is recognizing the contributions by instructors who create and improve OER as part of their professional work. By collecting case studies from those who have experience, DOERS3 seeks to provide as many examples from as many types of institutions as possible so that those looking for answers to this problem can find solutions that speak to their particular issues. The goal of this project is to ultimately be the first stop for anyone asking, “How can I make open education work count toward the job security of myself and others?” DOERS3 seeks abstracts of no more than 250 words for potential case studies by 10/24/22. Case study authors will be compensated for their work and all accepted submissions will be peer reviewed. For more details and a link for abstract submission, see the full Call for Authors.<https://www.doers3.org/tandpcallforauthors.html> Thank you!

November 4: Digital Literacy in Post Secondary Education
by Amanda Coolidge (she/her) 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Hello All! Registration is now OPEN<https://events.eply.com/2022ETUGWorkshopNov4> for the Fall Educational Technology Users Group Event on November 4. This year’s theme is: Digital Literacy! [cid:image001.jpg(a)01D8E396.1E7DF380] Despite the recovery from the pandemic, the number of academic programs and courses delivered in hybrid or fully online formats will likely remain high. At the same time, an increasing number of instructors are trying out HyFlex delivery — giving students options about whether they come to class or learn online. Digital literacy, for both instructors and students, impacts effective use of these delivery modes. But how can digital literacy support teaching and learning for online, hybrid, and HyFlex courses? What does a student need to be digitally literate? What does an instructor need to be digitally literate? Hope to see you there Amanda -------------- My working hours may be different to yours.

OER Innovation Survey (ENCORE+ Project)
by Enkerli, Alexandre 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

OERers… Received a message from Paz Díez Arcón, researcher at Knowledge 4 All Foundation, about an Encore+ Project<https://encoreproject.eu/> survey to gather examples of OER innovation and create case studies. ENCORE+ OER Innovation (onlinesurveys.ac.uk)<https://openuniversity.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/encore-oer-innovation> Deadline: November 28. Paz’s message: Today, I'm writing to you about the ENCORE+ project, which started in 2020. You can check ENCORE+ at https://encoreproject.eu/ - although the website is a little out of date as we are waiting for a new designer to be recruited so everything can be updated. The basic proposition of the project is there, however. The innovation work package, led by Rob Farrow (Open University), is running a survey and we hope you are able to help us out with it! We are looking for examples of innovation with and through open educational resources (OER) for an open access collection of short case studies that would be showcased on an upcoming event. These would be fairly short - about a page per case. We have a survey we're using to collect data: https://openuniversity.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/encore-oer-innovation Please could you share this survey with OER projects in your network and encourage them to complete it? There are three goals we have in mind for this activity. Firstly, the data we collect will help us build a world-leading collection of cases of OER implementation which we will share on an open licence for others to make use of and learn from. There really isn’t much research that has been done into the relationship between OER and innovation. We hope to facilitate understanding of this. Secondly, we want to amplify interesting and important work being done in the OER world. There are many important projects out there which few people have heard of. In addition to the published collection of cases based on this survey we will be showcasing flagship examples through the ENCORE+ network. Thirdly, the data we collect will be used to inform and structure our OER Innovation Evaluation Framework, a forthcoming publication which will help practitioners to understand the innovation vectors in their own work and facilitate reflection on practice (Look out for this in 2023!). I hope this is fairly self explanatory! As an Erasmus+ project we are especially keen to make sure we get examples from Europe. I thought you would have some great contacts to share the survey with: any OER implementation (or use of OER) counts. We also welcome business examples (which are often harder to find). Let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Survey is open until 28th November 2022. Please feel free to share this message and invitation to complete the survey with other people/projects and distribution lists. -- Alex [Collecto - Services regroupés en éducation]<https://collecto.ca/> [Collecto - Services regroupés en éducation]<https://badgr.com/public/assertions/CbgU229_SnCArzc_sAypdw> ALEXANDRE ENKERLI CHARGÉ DE PROJETS • SERVICES DE 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/>
