Psychology 2E (OpenStax) in Pressbooks?
by Jessica Norman 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Hi All, I am looking for Psychology, 2nd edition, from OpenStax in a format that can be imported into Pressbooks. I didn't see a compatible file type on the OpenStax page, and the BCcampus page states that only the 1st edition is available in Pressbooks format. I was wondering if: 1. Someone has already imported the 2nd edition OR 2. Someone can give me some pointers on what I would need to do to import the 2nd edition content.

Our guidance at eCampusOntario would be to include the following statement: “This resource is licensed XXX unless otherwise noted” We would then have the author include a copyright statement with the material used under fair dealing “(Title) by (Author).

Question re: OERs and DOIs/ISBNs
by Cynthia Holt 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Hello Everyone, As our OER repository is relatively new, we’re still nailing down all of the service components and best practices. One topic that arose recently is the question of applying for ISBNs and or minting DOIs for books created/adapted on our Pressbooks network. One thought, although not the only one in the discussion, is that ISBNs add a legitimacy to an open textbook in the eyes of some faculty members that might encourage creation/adaptation. Do any of you have apply for ISBNs and/or mint DOIs for the books in your repositories? Or have you had discussions in your own communities about this, and would be willing to share your rationales for why you do or do not do one or either? Thanks! Sincerely, Cynthia Cynthia Holt Executive Director / Directrice générale Council of Atlantic University Libraries / Conseil des bibliothèques universitaires de l’Atlantique (CAUL-CBUA) 120 Western Parkway, Suite 202, Bedford, NS B4B 0V2 | W: caul-cbua.ca<https://caul-cbua.ca/> | T: 902-830-6467 | E: execdir(a)caul-cbua.ca<mailto:execdir(a)caul-cbua.ca> CAUL-CBUA represents member libraries across the region, all of whom sit on the unceded and traditional territories of First Peoples.

Using Open Textbooks in the LMS
by Maddison, Tasha 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Good Morning, I am hoping that someone can point me to a brief guide on using open textbooks from an instructional designer perspective. Covering information such as adding sections of the text to the course and referencing considerations when modifications are made to the work. We have a situation where the instructor does not want to disrupt the flow of the text but needs to distinguish between their words and the sections of the text that they are using. Any advice here would be very helpful. Thank you kindly, Tasha Maddison Saskatchewan Polytechnic

Looking for Health test bank: calculations and/or logic
by Jessica Norman 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hi All, I have an instructor developing an exam for our school's EMT program. He is asking if there are any open licensed test banks for 1) classic "logic puzzle" questions (so not necessary health-related) 2) dosage/ unit conversion/ fraction & decimal questions using health scenarios (EMT, ultrasound, nursing fields, etc.) I've checked my usual locations (eCampus Ontario, BCcampus, OpenOregon, Merlot, OERCommons) with little success, so any leads would be greatly appreciated!

UBC Library - Open Scholarship in Practice Event
by Fields, Erin 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

[Open Scholarship in Practice]<https://open.ubc.ca/osip2020/> Open Scholarship in Practice 2020 Join us November 2–6 for a week of free webinars and workshops exploring the practice of open scholarship — from new tools that can increase the reproducibility of research, to new pedagogies that become possible when students and faculty members become co-creators engaged in meaningful, generative knowledge creation. Hear from UBC colleagues who are incorporating “openness” in innovative ways to enhance teaching, research, and public impact. Explore the full event calendar <https://open.ubc.ca/osip2020/> here<https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/calendar?cid=7544&t=g&d=0000-00-00&cal=7544&c…>, or browse the sessions below. Here is a highlight of a few of the sessions! Working in Public: Generosity and the Knowledge Commons Date: Tuesday, November 3, 2020 Time: 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm Location: A Zoom video conferencing link will be provided prior to the event to all who are confirmed to participate. Featured Keynote: Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Director of Digital Humanities and Professor of English Michigan State University Working in public, and with the public, can enable scholars to build vital, sustainable research communities, both within their fields, with other scholars in different fields, and with folks off-campus who care about the kinds of work that we do. By finding ways to connect with a broad range of publics, in a range of different registers, and in ways that allow for meaningful response, we can create the possibilities for far more substantial public participation in and engagement with the humanities, and with the academy more broadly. This talk explores the ideas in Professor Fitzpatrick’s influential book, Generous Thinking, and will focus on the challenges posed by working in public and the skills required to develop more publicly engaged scholarship. Co-sponsored by the UBC Library and the UBC Public Humanities Hub. Register Here<https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/event/3585287> Emerging Perspectives in Open Access Book Publishing Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2020 Time: 10:00 am – 11:00 am Location: A Zoom video conferencing link will be provided prior to the event to all who are confirmed to participate. Open Access monograph publishing is a rapidly expanding and evolving strategy for making scholarly work globally accessible. Universities, academic publishers, libraries, and scholarly organizations are developing new initiatives, partnerships, services, and business models to support open access options for authors of scholarly monographs, textbooks, and academic books. This event will explore the opportunities, challenges, and experiences of OA book publishing from the perspective of authors, series editors and publishers. You are invited to join a panel discussion of UBC faculty and publishers that will address their motivations for “going open”, as well as the processes, impacts, and changes that OA is bringing to academic book publishing. Panellists * Katherine Bowers, Katherine Bowers, Associate Professor of Slavic Studies, UBC Department of Central, Eastern, and Northern European Studies * Megan Brand, Production Editor, UBC Press * Rupert Gatti, Co-founder and Director of Open Book Publishers; Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Director of Studies in Economics * Mark Turin, Associate Professor, UBC Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies & Department of Anthropology Register Here<https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/event/3584443> Publishing As Open Pedagogy: OJS & Pressbooks Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2020 Time: 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Location: A Zoom video conferencing link will be provided prior to the event to all who are confirmed to participate. As open education continues to gain traction in higher education, many are looking for ways to expand their integration of open approaches beyond merely the inclusion of open materials. Open publishing is beginning to emerge as one pathway towards greater engagement in openness in the classroom. This panel will introduce participants to five people working in various capacities to support student publishing through Open Journal Systems and PressBooks, two open source publishing platforms that allow for open dissemination of student-created, instructor-supported content.

23 Oct '20

This message is sent on behalf of Lauri Aesoph. Dear colleagues, At a recent CanadaOER meeting, and during other discussions, many have expressed the need for a list of in-progress OER projects that can be checked before committing to the creation or revision of an open educational resource. That need has now fulfilled with the new OER in Development by Discipline<https://opentextbc.ca/oerdiscipline/back-matter/appendix-b/> page in the OER by Discipline Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/oerdiscipline/>. This list as well as links to in-progress projects, posted on each subject page through this directory, will be updated regularly. If you have a project that you'd like added to this list or an update or correction about a current listing, please email laesoph(a)bccampus.ca. Regards, Lauri Aesoph Manager Open Education Operations Arianna Cheveldave Coordinator, Open Education, BCcampus Email: acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca> • LinkedIn: ariannacheveldave<https://ca.linkedin.com/in/arianna-cheveldave> • Pronouns: She/her ________________________________ I acknowledge that the land I live, work, and play on is the unceded territory of the səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), W̱SÁNEĆ, and Songhees Nation of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples.
