by Lauri Aesoph 05 Feb '20

05 Feb '20

Dear Colleagues, This message is directed to BCcampus Open Education Key Contacts. As you might know, BCcampus Open Education invites faculty at post-secondary institutions in British Columbia to review the open textbooks<https://open.bccampus.ca/use-open-textbooks/review-an-open-textbook/> in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/>. Reviews posted by books in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection are intended to provide constructive, helpful feedback for instructors contemplating the adoption of one or more of these textbooks. Completed reviews are recorded on the reviewer's institution page in the Post-Secondary Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/postsecondary/> in a green textbox called "Open textbooks reviewed by..." Starting this month, you will be copied to the acknowledgement email sent to reviewers at your institution once they have completed a review. These messages include the following information for the reviewer: * confirmation that the completed review has been received and is now posted by the book in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection * notification that the review content will be released with a CC BY licence (copyright is owned by the reviewer) * a request to fill in the Adoption of an Open Textbook<https://open.bccampus.ca/use-open-textbooks/tell-us-youre-using-an-open-tex…> form if the reviewer plans to use the reviewed textbook in a course * information about payment of the $250 honorarium for the review If you have questions about reviews or this new step, please feel free to contact me or Arianna Cheveldave, Open Education Coordinator.
