We hope that you will view these inspiring stories and pass them along to colleagues who may be considering creating or adopting OER for their classes. Subscribe to the channel and you'll be notified as soon as new stories are posted. ________________________________ We're Building an Open Textbook Search Engine Much has changed in the OER universe since we first created College Open Textbooks. Ten years ago, most open textbooks were self-published and scattered widely across the web. Today we're seeing a steady increase in the number of curated repositories. College Open Textbooks has a small team of volunteer web developers working on an application to mine those repositories. Our prototype currently searches the repositories of five organizations who have partnered with us (BC Campus, UGA's Galileo, Orange Grove, OpenStax, and SUNY), as well as College Open Textbooks' own listings. We're excited to announce that Charles Key, the Search Engine program manager, will present our progress in two weeks at the upcoming Open Education Conference. If you're at the conference, we invite you to attend our round table presentation on Thursday, October 11 at 9:45 AM. ________________________________ If you value the work we do, please consider donating some money to help us cover our operating costs. We're an all-volunteer 501(C)(3) organization, and anything you give will go directly to helping us make education more affordable and accessible for all learners.

FW: OASIS: a new OER search tool
by Rosario Passos 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Hi there fellow Open Educators, This sounds like a great search engine for open resources. Give it a tray and let us know how things go. Cheers, Rosario ____________________________________________________ Please excuse cross-posting... Hello all, Milne Library at SUNY Geneseo is excited to share with you an OER search tool that we have developed called OASIS<https://oasis.geneseo.edu/> (Openly Available Sources Integrated Search). We have gathered more than 155,000+ records from 52 different sources that have been carefully selected in collaboration with SUNY OER Services. With OER becoming more prevalent, and hearing from our faculty that the discovery of OER can be quite difficult, we developed OASIS with the goal of making the discovery of open content easier. Some of the features of OASIS include the ability to limit search results by license, type, subject, source, and reviews available. Through OASIS, you can also suggest new sources to be added to the catalog and/or share items of interest through email. We also created a search widget<https://oasis.geneseo.edu/about.php> that can be embedded in any website. If you decide to use the search widget on your website we would love to know. Here is the link to the press release for OASIS<https://www.geneseo.edu/news/milne-library-colleagues-launch-oasis> from SUNY Geneseo. Please share any feedback that you may have with Bill Jones (jonesw(a)geneseo.edu<mailto:jonesw(a)geneseo.edu>) and Ben Rawlins (rawlins(a)geneseo.edu<mailto:rawlins(a)geneseo.edu>). Thanks.

FW: Catching up: Open Education and the Equity Gap
by Rosario Passos 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

Hi there Fellow Open Educators, Here are a few resources that have been shared by the CCCOER-advisory group. I haven’t had a chance to peruse them all, but just from the abstracts, it sounds like interesting reading. 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 [LTS_for_sig_2018-01] Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail From: cccoer-advisory(a)googlegroups.com [mailto:cccoer-advisory(a)googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Una Daly Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2018 2:16 PM To: CCCOER Advisory <cccoer-advisory(a)googlegroups.com> Subject: Catching up: Open Education and the Equity Gap Dear Community, We’ve had a couple of great updates on this important topic in the last two weeks that you won’t want to miss. First two are the newest CCCOER guest blog posts and the last one is a peer-reviewed article from the International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. * Hurry Up and Slow Down: Indigenization and OER with Rose Roberts and Heather Ross<https://www.cccoer.org/2018/06/28/on-equity-diversity-inclusion-and-open-ed…> The intersection between OER and Indigenization is a new area within academia. OER is about opening up the world of knowledge to as many people as possible. Indigenization is about opening up the world of Indigenous reality to as many people as possible. The University of Saskatchewan (U of S) has identified Indigenization as one of its 4 pillars in its Institutional Strategic Framework. As an Indigenous person (Rose) who has worked within a western based educational institution for most of my work life, virtually everything that I do is indigenization. However, Indigenization as an academic institutional endeavor is a new phenomenon, and because it is relatively new, we are in many ways continuing to figure out what it is and how to go about it in a good way. * Reaching Underserved Students through Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning<https://www.cccoer.org/2018/06/28/on-equity-diversity-inclusion-and-open-ed…> Last month I was fortunate to hear Dr. J Luke Wood’s<http://onlineteachingconference.org/speaker/j-luke-wood-ph-d/> opening keynote, Reaching Underserved Students through Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning in the Online Environment, at the annual California Online Teaching Conference<http://onlineteachingconference.org/>. Wood’s research at San Diego State University focuses on factors affecting the success of boys and men of color in education, with a specific focus on community colleges. He co-directs the Community College Equity Assessment Lab (CCEAL),<https://cceal.org/about-cceal/> a national research and practice center at San Diego State University. • The Impact of Open Educational Resources on Various Student Success Metrics (Intl. Journal of T&L in Higher Ed)<http://www.isetl.org/ijtlhe/pdf/IJTLHE3386.pdf> This article reports the results of a large-scale study (21,822 students) from University of Georgia regarding the impact of course-level faculty adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER). Results indicate that OER adoption does much more than simply save students money and address student debt concerns. OER improve end-of-course grades and decrease DFW (D, F, and Withdrawal letter grades) rates for all students. They also improve course grades at greater rates and decrease DFW rates at greater rates for Pell recipient students, part-time students, and populations historically underserved by higher education. OER address affordability, completion, attainment gap concerns, and learning. These findings contribute to a broadening perception of the value of OERs and their relevance to the great challenges facing higher education today.

New study about the impact of OER on student success measures
by Rosario Passos 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

Hi there fellow Open Educators, This new study<http://www.isetl.org/ijtlhe/pdf/IJTLHE3386.pdf> published by researchers Nicholas Colvard of the University of Georgia and Eddie Watson of the Association of American Colleges and Universities in the International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is a large-scale study looking at the impact of OER adoption on student success measures at the University of Georgia. The study is significant because it looks specifically at the impact on historically underserved populations of students, addressing part-time status and ethnic origin among other variables. This study illustrates the reason why Open is important beyond affordability. The movement for OER is not just about reducing costs, it's about helping to make higher education more equitable and effective for all students. Here is the abstract for your review: The Impact of Open Educational Resources on Various Student Success Metrics There are multiple indicators which suggest that completion, quality, and affordability are the three greatest challenges for higher education today in terms of students, student learning, and student success. Many colleges, universities, and state systems are seeking to adopt a portfolio of solutions that address these challenges. This article reports the results of a large-scale study (21,822 students) regarding the impact of course-level faculty adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER). Results indicate that OER adoption does much more than simply save students money and address student debt concerns. OER improve end-of-course grades and decrease DFW (D, F, and Withdrawal letter grades) rates for all students. They also improve course grades at greater rates and decrease DFW rates at greater rates for Pell recipient students, part-time students, and populations historically underserved by higher education. OER address affordability, completion, attainment gap concerns, and learning. These findings contribute to a broadening perception of the value of OERs and their relevance to the great challenges facing higher education today.

Open anatomical atlas and anatomy images - expression of interest
by Lauri Aesoph 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Dear Faculty and Staff, BCcampus Open Education is reaching out to all faculty members and staff involved in the teaching and support of anatomy and healthcare post-secondary curricula in B.C. in response to a request from the [ http://www.oeconsortium.org/ | Open Education Consortium ] to identify individuals interested in collaborating on a project that would involve the co-creation of an open anatomical atlas of anatomy images. Background Anatomy is a basic discipline for all medical and paramedical fields around the world. Anatomical illustrations are essential for the teaching and learning of anatomy and are universally relevant in all countries. Good quality artist-created anatomical drawings are available in anatomical atlases and textbooks but are mostly copyrighted. There are very few good quality anatomical images available under an open license. If you think this is a good idea and want to participate in the creation and implementation of an open anatomical atlas, please respond to this email by July 15. A response to this email does not commit you to anything, it merely indicates an interest in this project. On behalf of all interested parties that reply to this email, and as a member of the Open Education Consortium, BCcampus Open Education will submit a form expressing interest.
