FW: [Canadaoer] Practical "How to use this OER" info for students with new textbook?
by Rosario Passos 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Hi there fellow Open Educators, Attached is an infographic that you can use/modify if you are using an OpenTextbook in your class. There was a discussion on the CanadaOer group about the importance of students knowing that they are using an open textbook and why it is important. Then Christina from Montana State U Library created and shared this infographic which they use to "educate" their students. I thought I would share :) Cheers, Rosario [rosario.jpg] Rosario Passos Instructional Development Consultant (IDC) Learning and Teaching Centre British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) 3700 Willingdon Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5G 3H2 Tel: (604) 456 1266 rosario_passos(a)bcit.ca<mailto:rosario_passos(a)bcit.ca> www.bcit.ca/ltc Education for a Complex World Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail ================================================================= Subject: RE: Practical "How to use this OER" info for students with new textbook? I agree with Jessica, that it is important for students to know the difference. I also found that the more they know, the bigger advocates for OER outreach to faculty they become. I started putting this infographic up in all of my class shells as well as in the syllabus packet. It has sparked some great conversations with students over the years.

Hello fellow open educators, Open Education Week wrapped up this past Friday and over the week there were many events in the Lower Mainland that highlighted the work that many institutions are doing in the open in BC. I hope some of you managed to take the time to attend at least 1 or 2 events. BCIT kicked off the week with an "OER for the Trades" discussion with the participation of Amanda Coolidge from BCcampus, Bonnie Johnston from the Learning and Teaching Centre, Tim Carson, from Piping Trades, Chad Flinn from Electrical Trades and a guest visitor from Vancouver Island University, Sally Vinden. There were some great points that were addressed and many lessons learned that were shared. As the week was underway, the Open Education Working Group released the BCIT Open Education Report which you can see attached. It looks at the Open Initiatives and projects that happened at BCIT over the last year. It was a busy year with lots of activity in Open Education and we hope the momentum carries on into 2019!

Hi there fellow Open Educators! Thanks to all who responded to the doodle poll for the tentative meeting next week. There wasn't a great response to the request for a meeting (I know... we are all busy) so I would like to re-schedule it to see if there are more convenient dates further along into February. So, have a look at this other poll with new dates and let us know what dates and times will work for you. https://doodle.com/poll/sgubar5bb73rd6da We would like to aim for a minimum of 10 participants, as we really value your input and ideas for the future of Open at BCIT, so, please see if you can find some time in your busy schedules. I may convince my husband to bake some cookies for the meeting! We will have a webex meeting going at the same time for the folks who cannot make it physically but would like to participate from their offices/campuses. If you fall under this category, please send me an email.
