It's a great introduction for those that are new to OER and OEP (Open Educational Practices). The Introduction to Open Education edX course was a bit of a disappointment in terms of content and learning (in my opinion). It wasn't well facilitated and the community, in terms of discussion within and outside of the course, was not very engaged. CC is still fine tuning their training.

FW: OER Adoption by Course?
by Rosario Passos 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Hi there everyone, This is a great resource that lists open textbook adoptions in Colleges and Universities, organized by course. So you can see what other institutions are doing when it comes to using OER in their courses and saving students money. If you see a course similar to what you are teaching, have a look at what OpenTextbook they are using. Maybe you can review it and consider it for adoption yourself in the future ☺ Cheers, Rosario [image002] Rosario Passos, Instructional Development Consultant Learning and Teaching Centre, BCIT www.bcit.ca/ltc<../../../../../../All_Work_Data/www.bcit.ca/ltc> 3700 Willingdon Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5G 3H2 Tel: (604) 456 1266 [Tagline] Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail From: cccoer-advisory(a)googlegroups.com [mailto:cccoer-advisory(a)googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dave Braunschweig Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2017 6:36 AM To: Rachel Baum <rbaum(a)baypath.edu>; Amanda Taintor <amanda.taintor(a)scccd.edu> Cc: Kelvin Bentley <timelord33(a)gmail.com>; Smith, Kelsey <kelseysmith(a)whccd.edu>; Regina Gong <rgong69(a)gmail.com>; Amy Hofer <hofera(a)linnbenton.edu>; Ross, Heather <heather.ross(a)usask.ca>; CCCOER Advisory <cccoer-advisory(a)googlegroups.com> Subject: RE: OER Adoption by Course?

This is just a reminder that CCCOER will have the third webinar in our Fall Back-to-Basics series this Wednesday, November 15th, at 11 am PST/ 2 pm EST. This month's free and open webinar is, "How OER Can Student Equity and Diversity." We will hear from three speakers who will tell us how open education resources, policies, and practices can create equitable learning experiences for all students through the development of culturally relevant learning experiences. Once again, a more in-depth description and the registration link are included below, or you can view it on our website at: https://www.cccoer.org/webinar/nov-15-how-oer-can-support-student-equity-an… Sincerely, Liz ~~~~~~~ Liz Yata CCCOER Support Specialist Open Education Consortium lizyata(a)oeconsortium.org<mailto:lizyata(a)oeconsortium.org> According to the Glossary of Education Reform, equity refers to the principle of fairness in education. Inequities occur when biased or unfair policies, programs, practices, or situations contribute to a lack of equality in educational performance, results, and outcomes. The development and use of open educational resources has the potential to create equitable learning experiences for all students. Open education is deeply rooted in the belief that teachers have the freedom to develop content that meets the needs of their students. Join us for this webinar to hear the ways in which colleges can consider issues of equity when designing and delivering OER courses and degree programs. Presenters will share how open educational resources, policies, and practices can support equity and diversity through the development of culturally relevant learning experiences that emphasize inclusion and celebrate diversity.

[ https://forum.rebus.community/topic/212/philosophy-of-mind-part-ed-heather-… | Philosophy of Mind ] We are looking for people with a PhD in philosophy, ideally with teaching experience at the first-year level. PhD students in philosophy may also be considered as authors, or can contribute in other ways to the book. Interested faculty or PhD students can sign-up using the links above . Each chapter will be around 3000 words. Alternatively, if you would like to write about a section that is not listed, we can discuss the possibility of additions. You can find more information about the project here: [ https://forum.rebus.community/topic/204/project-summary | https://forum.rebus.community/topic/204/project-summary ] The Rebus Community is looking for forward-thinking academics, students, and citizens to come help us reimagine publishing and its impacts on education. We are currently working towards releasing the first few parts of the textbook, which will cover core concepts in Western philosophy and other traditions, with faculty joining us from institutions across North America, Africa, and Europe. The book will be freely available to students and faculty and openly licensed to enable reuse.
