04 Aug '21

Hello fellow open educators. Some of you might be interested in this forum coming up in September. From: Keycontacts <keycontacts-bounces(a)lists.bccampus.ca> On Behalf Of Arianna Cheveldave Sent: August 3, 2021 4:08 PM To: canadaoer(a)lists.bccampus.ca; keycontacts(a)lists.bccampus.ca; bcoel(a)lists.bccampus.ca; allff(a)lists.bccampus.ca Subject: [Keycontacts] Open Education Policy Forum CAUTION: This email originated from outside of BCIT. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear colleagues, This message is sent on behalf of Anahita Rezaei, Open Education & Advocacy Specialist, Centrum Cyfrowe. Open Education Policy Forum is coming back on September 15-16 for the sixth time (and online, too). We are looking forward to seeing you at the end of the summer to discuss the “Universe of Openness,” but today, we are excited to announce an Open Call for two key events that will be held during the Forum: * Lightning talks – presentation of the most inspiring Open Education initiatives from the time of the pandemic [September 15]. In the tradition of exchanging the best practices from Open Education, we’re seeking inspiring initiatives. Have you completed a project or started an inspirational initiative within OE Policy in the past year and are you willing to share it with the Open Education community? If so, we’re looking for you! You’ll have up to 7 minutes to present your project to the world. * Workshops for policy makers and OE activists [September 16]. In small groups of up to 15 participants, where every person can be heard and bring their unique perspective and experience, we want to talk about the future of Open Education. Our goal is to create realistic and achievable guidelines for the OE community in three areas: * Designing the future of open education policy based on know-how and good practices * New concepts & perspectives for the study on copyright for education * Open Education for Green & Climate Education Key dates Deadline for submission to lightning talks and workshops: August 15 Publication of results: August 17 Registration<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…> About the Forum. Open Education Policy Forum is an international conference organised by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation in cooperation with Communia Association, Hewlett Foundation, Intellectual Property Institute, OEGlobal, Otwarte Zasoby and SPARC Europe. Once a year, we bring together stakeholders (activists, researchers, teachers, policy makers) from around the world to exchange good practices and discuss challenges and opportunities faced by the Open Education community. We want to provide an opportunity for networking, exchange of knowledge and future collaborations. “The Universe of Openness” – about the upcoming edition of the Forum. Open Education initiatives have been expanding extraordinarily since 2020. Resources, institutions and infrastructure built on the OE model provide resilience to educational systems at the beginning of remote education. The pandemic time has redefined “openness” in education. Now, with so many various projects in progress, we want to ask the following: how can the OE community maintain this growth? And how can we expand, explore and improve it in the upcoming future? The conference will open with the premiere of a new pan-European study “Remote education during the pandemic: teachers perspective” conducted by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation and Communia Association.

Fw: Taking Up the Open Pedagogy Summer Adventure
by Rosario Passos 23 Jul '21

23 Jul '21

________________________________ Dear Fellow Open Educators at BCIT, 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://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…> 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://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…> 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://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…>, 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://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…> - a poll and discussion to share what you know or want to know about H5P * 1. Before Grabbing the Tools<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…> - Find where and how to find examples of H5P interactivity to seed ideas what is possible * 2. Where to Make H5P?<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…> - Determine where you can get access to an H5P creation space * 3. Start From Scratch or Remix?<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…> 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://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…> - 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://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…> (and are standing by to respond to questions). There has been good Q&A in a copyright topic<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…>, the typical CCCOER abundance of resource sharing<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…>, and participants have shared as introductions<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…> and updates<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…> progress on their own summer open pedagogy projects. We hope to see you join the adventure when you can<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.o…>. Sent on behalf of Alan Levine cogdogblog(a)gmail.com

FW: Criminology - Call for Authors
by Rosario Passos 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

Hello fellow Open Educators! Please see below a call for authors for an open textbook on criminology. Please share widely across your networks. Cheers, Rosario From: Canadaoer <canadaoer-bounces(a)lists.bccampus.ca> On Behalf Of Krista Lambert Sent: June 22, 2021 9:40 AM To: canadaoer(a)lists.bccampus.ca Subject: [Canadaoer] Criminology - Call for Authors CAUTION: This email originated from outside of BCIT. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear all, I’m writing on behalf of faculty member Shereen Hassan at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. Dr. Hassan is looking for a contributor to author a chapter in a much-anticipated, Canada-focused, Introduction to Criminology openly-licensed textbook. The chapter that requires an author is: 1. Media and Crime 2. Please see Dr. Hassan’s letter below and circulate this Call for Authors widely. This is a paid opportunity and would come with a $500 honorarium. If interested, or you would like more please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca<mailto:shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca> by Wednesday, July 7, 2021. -- I hope that this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Shereen Hassan and I am an SFU criminology alumni. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Simon Verdun-Jones in 2010. I am now a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Criminology department and have been here for almost 17 years. I am reaching out about an opportunity to contribute to an Open Education Resource for the Introduction to Criminology course. This text will be the first of its kind in Canadian Criminology and is unique as it seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and content in a way that Criminology texts to date have failed to do. There are authors from several universities, including Simon Fraser University, the University of the Fraser Valley, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, the University of Winnipeg, as well as other institutions in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort! I am still looking for authors in the area of Media and Crime. We are flexible on deadlines, and we are hoping to have a draft by the end of summer. This text is an introductory text, so the idea here is to provide a brief overview, but to also address how theories and principles in this area of research relate to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, and/or Indigenous issues in some way, wherever possible. We have asked authors to keep the chapters short (approximately 4000 words) or as close to that as possible. It would be a wonderful honour to have you contribute to this important project. I look forward to hearing back from you. All the best, Shereen Hassan, PhD Criminology Faculty Kwantlen Polytechnic University Krista Lambert, MEd Project Manager, Health & ABE ZTC Programs Cell: 604.512.4365<tel:604.512.4365> • Email: klambert(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:klambert(a)bccampus.ca> Twitter: @contentkrista<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.c…> • Pronouns: She/her Learning.

The reasons to run a Wikipedia assignment are myriad, but here are some reflections that capture the essence of the project: "Although many students admitted they had first felt intimidated by the thought of their work being ‘out there’ on the internet, they all commented on the huge sense of achievement they felt seeing their articles published on Wikipedia at the end of semester and how contributing to global knowledge was incredibly fulfilling." —Professor Victoria Austin, University of Winnipeg "One of the things I loved about this project was the idea of being able to improve something on a public platform and offer substantive research that could be helpful to someone who might not have access to the same resources we are so lucky to have as students at the University of Michigan." —Aja Brandmeier, Student, University of Michigan To apply for a spot in the program, follow these steps: 1. Create an account at dashboard.wikiedu.org<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdashboard…>. 2. Go through Wiki Education's Orientation for New Instructors<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdashboard…>. You'll be prompted to do this once you create an account. 3. After you complete the orientation, you'll be asked to launch the Assignment Design Wizard. Go through the wizard to create your course page. Your course page will be the central hub for your Wikipedia assignment, and it's how you receive support from Wiki Education. When you're ready, submit the course page, and your application will be complete! We will notify you by July 16 if we are able to offer you a spot for the Fall 2021 term. Applications submitted after June 20 will only be considered if space allows. For more information, contact Helaine Blumenthal at helaine(a)wikiedu.org<mailto:helaine(a)wikiedu.org>.

FW: Call for Authors | Intro to Crim OER
by Rosario Passos 11 May '21

11 May '21

Hi there fellow Open Educators, This is a great opportunity to collaborate with KPU on the development of an Open Educational Resource. Please share widely across your networks. Cheers Rosario _______________________________________ Dear all, I’m writing on behalf of faculty member Shereen Hassan at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. Dr. Hassan is looking for contributors to author two chapters in a much-anticipated, Canada-focused, Introduction to Criminology openly-licensed textbook. The two outstanding chapters that require authors are: 1. Methods/Measuring Crime 2. Environmental Criminology Please see Dr. Hassan’s letter below and circulate this Call for Authors widely. This is a paid opportunity and would come with a $500 honorarium. If interested, or you would like more information, please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca<mailto:shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca> by Friday, May 21, 2021. -- I hope that this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Shereen Hassan and I am an SFU criminology alumni. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Simon Verdun-Jones in 2010. I am now a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Criminology department and have been here for almost 17 years. I am reaching out about an opportunity to contribute to an Open Education Resource for the Introduction to Criminology course. This text will be the first of its kind in Canadian Criminology and is unique as it seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and content in a way that Criminology texts to date have failed to do. Dr. Gail Anderson has contributed in the area of biological explanations of crime, and Dr. Zachary Rowan and Michaela McGuire have co-authored a chapter on learning theories. There are authors from several other universities in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort! I am still looking for authors in the area of (1) Environmental Criminology and (2) Measuring Crime and Methods. For environmental Criminology, we were hoping this chapter could begin with a discussion of the classical school and from that, stem into rational choice/choice theories to include also routine activities and other theories falling under this umbrella. The methods chapter should cover UCR, GSS and self-report surveys. It will also be necessary to introduce the idea of statistics, surveys, etc., as one method of measuring crime, but also talk about how qualitative inquiry is important for measuring things like perceptions of crime, severity, etc. A basic introduction to the various methods that criminologists use could be weaved into this chapter. Key methods concepts briefly defined here would include: empirical, qualitative and quantitative, sampling, reliability, validity, deductive and inductive, correlation, case studies and experiments. A detailed discussion of Indigenous methodologies, including but not limited to oral history, would be instrumental, as well as a contextual background for students to better understand the statistics which demonstrate the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in crime statistics. We are flexible on deadlines, and we are hoping to have a draft by the end of summer. This text is an introductory text, so the idea here is to provide a brief overview, but to also address this theoretical framework's application to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, Indigenous issues in some way, wherever possible. We have asked authors to keep the chapters short (approximately 4000 words) or as close to that as possible. It would be a wonderful honour to have you contribute to this important project. I look forward to hearing back from you.

You’re invited: Open Education Challenge Series during Open Education Week
by Arianna Cheveldave 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

Dear colleagues, Open Education Week is fast approaching! To celebrate, BCcampus is hosting an Open Education Challenge Series<https://oechallenge.opened.ca/about-the-open-education-challenge-series/> for educators interested in learning more about open education practices (OEP). From March 1 to March 5, we will release two challenges a day. A challenge is a micro activity that you can do in 10 minutes or less that will introduce a small aspect of open education. Everyone is welcome to participate, but the challenges are designed for educators who are new to open education. Topics to explore include open licences, open textbooks, and perhaps even open pedagogy! This isn’t a bootcamp or crash course in open education: it’s more of a tasting buffet of appetizers, designed to allow even the most time-constrained educators to participate. Please share this event with your departments and networks, especially those who are new to open education. Invite your colleagues to participate with you! It’s a great way to learn about OEP together. Here is the event page and where to register: OE Challenge Series 2021<https://bccampus.ca/event/open-education-challenge-series-2021/> Sincerely, The Facilitators: Carolee Clyne, Josie Gray, Clint Lalonde, Melanie Meyers, and Krista Lambert Sent via 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.

Open Education Week - March 1-5
by Rosario Passos 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Hi there fellow Open Educators, Open Education Week<https://www.openeducationweek.org/> (OEW) is just around the corner: March 1-5. OEW is an annual, global event that aims to "raise awareness and showcase the impact of open education on teaching and learning worldwide." BCIT is co-hosting an event through the BC Open Education Librarians (BCOEL)<https://bcoel.ca/> group on Monday, March 1, 12:30 - 1:30pm, so save the date on your calendar! You can register for the event here<https://bccampus.ca/event/wicked-problems-and-open-remedies-a-student-centr…>. Event title: Wicked Problems and Open Remedies: A student centered approach On March 1st, please join us for this Open Education Week<https://www.openeducationweek.org/> event exploring wicked problems and open remedies. A wicked problem is one that is difficult or impossible to solve due to incomplete, contradictory, interconnected, and/or changing factors. A problem that requires a major change in practice, belief, or behaviour for many people is often a wicked problem. Drawing on this idea, we turn our attention to the wicked problem in higher education of empowering students in the classroom, and centre student voices in exploring the challenges and potential solutions for tackling this problem. This session will be opened and moderated by Arley Cruthers. Student panelists are Kristen Morgan (UBC Okanagan), Sophia Nguyen (SFU), and Caitlin Spreeuw (Douglas). Featured speakers include: Arley Cruthers (Kwantlen), Kristen Morgan (UBC Okanagan), Sophia Nguyen (SFU), and Caitlin Spreeuw (Douglas). Moderator: Donna Langille Facilitator: Arley Cruthers Arley Cruthers is a Paralympic medalist, novelist, and writing instructor. She won two World Championship gold medals and a bronze at the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games. She has received accolades for both her novels, Post and The Time We All Went Marching. She teaches Applied Communications at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, where she also currently serves as the Open Education Teaching Fellow. She's also the author of the OER Business Writing for Everyone: An Inclusive Guide to Writing in the Workplace. Arley is passionate about open education, open pedagogy, ungrading, UDL and disability justice. She holds an MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. Student Panelists: Kristen Morgan (she/her), UBC Okanagan Kristen is a Physics and Maths student at UBC's Okanagan campus, where she works in the library as the Open Education Assistant and serves as a Senator-at-Large. She is passionate about the intersection of policy and advocacy, especially as they relate to sustainable long-term institutional changes. Her latest policy work addresses the prevalence of fee-based Digital Assessment Tools (pay-to-play online homework systems) in the undergraduate student experience, and reimagining assessment activities in an increasingly online environment. You can find Kristen on Twitter @KrisTheMorg. Sophia Nguyen, SFU Sophia Nguyen worked on a group project for an IAT 330 class that resulted in a children's book on textile sustainability titled "Jordan and the Magic Cape<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmonographs…>" that has just been published via Open Monograph Press (OMP) with support from the Library. Caitlin Spreeuw, Douglas College Caitlin Spreeuw is a science student currently studying at Douglas College with hopes of getting into the Faculty of Science at SFU. She is the Director of External Relations at the Douglas Students' Union, and through this role she has had the opportunity to be a part of the Open Douglas working group. Students face a lot of financial pressures due to post-secondary education; tuition fees are at an all-time high, and with the extra costs of purchasing textbooks and academic materials, students often struggle to come up with the funds they need. Caitlin is interested in open education because it is an initiative that will save students a lot of money in the long run, and help relieve that financial burden.

Great article from Mike Caulfield in the NY Times

Hi there fellow Open Educators, This is a great read about digital literacy (I argue fluency) and misinformation and using the SIFT method: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/18/opinion/fake-news-media-attention.html Caulfield is a well known Ed Tech guy and had been a fierce advocate of Open Pedagogy, especially in content co-creation involving students. I thought some of you might enjoy the read.
