Spring 2025 Open Pedagogy Learning Circle
by openkpu＠lists.bccampus.ca 24 Jan '25

24 Jan '25

Hi everyone! The OEN is running their Open Pedagogy Learning Circle, and applications are now open for the next round. I did this myself the first time that it ran and it was a really good experience. ____________________ Greetings, OEN Community! Please consider applying for the spring offering of our facilitated Open Pedagogy Learning Circle! The OEN has heard our community ask for more help understanding and using open pedagogy, so we’ve created a collaborative, resource-rich learning environment over the course of seven synchronous, one-hour sessions this spring. Join our virtual, facilitated Learning Circle to share, learn, discuss, and create open pedagogy! There is no cost for participation. We are looking for a total of 12 participants from OEN member institutions for this offering of Open Pedagogy Learning Circle running on Tuesdays beginning in February. We try to vary the enrollment, so we are hoping for a combination of instructors, librarians, instructional designers or other roles that directly support faculty in pedagogy-related concerns. Interested in learning more and applying? Please see our Call for Applications<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UH9gqpa11MZdY33JRmVuoedMcFCYmpQzimN8Wmt…> or reach out to Tanya Grosz (grosz045(a)umn.edu<mailto:grosz045(a)umn.edu>) with any questions. ____________________ [logo gif] Amanda Grey (she/her) Open Education Strategist, Teaching & Learning Commons t 604-599-3345 e amanda.grey(a)kpu.ca w www.kpu.ca/open Through active intentional partnering, the Teaching & Learning Commons provides pedagogical leadership that is grounded in community, ethics, creativity, and care.

Hi everyone! Hope you had a restful break! Passing on the following opportunity in case any of you are interested. Cheers, Amanda Hello and Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to invite you to join a pool of peer reviewers for the University of Leeds Open Books initiative. This programme aims to create high-quality, openly licensed textbooks that are freely available to everyone, supporting equitable access to education and fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing for ‘knowledge for all’. We welcome the involvement of faculty members as well as learning technologists, OER professionals, pedagogy experts etc. to join our peer reviewer pool. Peer reviewers will be fully acknowledged in the publications they contribute to. Participation would likely involve reviewing one book, with the expected timeline being toward the end of 2025. You can find out more about the initiative here: University of Leeds Open Books Blog Post<https://leedsunilibrary.wordpress.com/2024/12/17/launching-university-of-le…>. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions - I’d be delighted to discuss further. I’d be grateful if you could share with educators to see if anyone is interested in being a peer reviewer with published acknowledgement. Thank you so much!
