BCcampus Adoption Forms Update
by Arianna Cheveldave 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Dear colleagues, BCcampus now has three adoption forms to help us more accurately track OER usage in the province. Faculty can let us know if they’re using an open textbook<https://open.bccampus.ca/use-open-textbooks/tell-us-youre-using-an-open-tex…>, open course materials<https://open.bccampus.ca/use-open-textbooks/tell-us-youre-using-open-course…>, or other OER<https://open.bccampus.ca/use-open-textbooks/oer-adoption-form/> in their course. In addition, we are now tracking the program for each course on these forms to allow us to more easily identify potential Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) programs.

Taking Up the Open Pedagogy Summer Adventure
by Arianna Cheveldave 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Dear colleagues, The following is a message from Alan Levine, reaching out on behalf of OE Global. ---- What's an adventure without a dash of the unknown? My hope for our Open Pedagogy Summer Adventure<https://connect.oeglobal.org/c/open-pd/summer-adventure/47> was to flip the usual webinar style approach to what works beautifully here by email where people ask, answer, share when they can. All of the Summer Adventure series is freely available to read in OEG Connect, and to respond there use this special link <https://connect.oeglobal.org/invites/a4eGA3vSTB> for the quick route to make an account. Your interest we heard for learning about interactivity, specifically H5P, is in my corner, and Liz Yata will be sharing soon details on our webinar session next week. The activities I will review<https://connect.oeglobal.org/tag/interactivity-opsa>, are and will be available for anyone to use at any time. Here is the H5P Adventure. Each leads to an activity and a place to share what you discover or ask questions. * 0. The Interactivity Strand in the Summer Adventure: What Kind of H5P Do You Want<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/the-interactivity-strand-in-the-summer-adven…> - a poll and discussion to share what you know or want to know about H5P * 1. Before Grabbing the Tools<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-1-0-before-grabbing-the-tools/1933/10> - Find where and how to find examples of H5P interactivity to seed ideas what is possible * 2. Where to Make H5P?<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-2-0-where-to-make-h5p/2022/2> - Determine where you can get access to an H5P creation space * 3. Start From Scratch or Remix?<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-3-0-start-from-scratch-or-remix/2026/6> A value of H5P content is that it is truly reusable. If you are new to H5P it might be easier to learn the tools by modifying existing content. * 4. Pick Up a First Tool and Go<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-4-0-pick-up-a-first-tool-and-go/2058/2> - since there are 49 different content type tools, which ones are good start? We have suggestions More will be added, perhaps for the more complex tools like Branching Scenarios, but rather than us decided in advance we will base on your feedback. And I am sure there is some strong expertise here with H5P (more than mine) so we welcome people who know their way around H5P. There's more in the mix than H5P. Christina Riehman-Murphy and Bryan McGeary have provided a stand alone version of their OER Roadmap workshop<https://connect.oeglobal.org/tag/roadmap-opsa> (and are standing by to respond to questions). There has been good Q&A in a copyright topic<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/none-of-us-are-lawyers-ask-about-copyright-a…>, the typical CCCOER abundance of resource sharing<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/suggested-resources-for-learning-about-open-…>, and participants have shared as introductions<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/say-hello-and-share-your-summer-goals-in-ope…> and updates<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/how-are-those-summer-projects-going/2059/> progress on their own summer open pedagogy projects. We hope to see you join the adventure when you can<https://connect.oeglobal.org/c/open-pd/summer-adventure/47>.
