Invitation for Students to Participate in Research Study
by Urooj Nizami 14 Oct '21

14 Oct '21

The below message is sent on behalf of the primary investigator, Deirdre Maultsaid, School of Business. Dear Colleagues: I am Deirdre Maultsaid, the KPU Open Education Research Fellow, 2021 and am doing a research project on care and open pedagogy, at the following four British Columbia institutions: Douglas, KPU, Langara and TRU (Ethics ID: H21-01455). I am recruiting students and hope that you can make an announcement to your students at the above four institutions. Can you please disseminate the attached invitation or embedded invitation to students to participate in the research focus groups. Please only disseminate the message to students via email, not by posting it into your Learning Management System as using your LMS is not approved by ethics boards, for lots of good reasons. You do not have to promote or advocate for this research; you can simply send the approved invitation. Not to worry, when students go to the link, there is a full consent process before they participate. Any questions, Deirdre.maultsaid(a)kpu.ca<mailto:Deirdre.maultsaid(a)kpu.ca> Thank you so much for helping to disseminate this invitation. *MESSAGE TO STUDENTS:* [cidimage005.jpg(a)01D7AFC1.106DCFE0] Students: Please help us find out if creating open pedagogy inspires you to care more. Please join a voluntary focus group with students from Douglas, KPU, Langara, and TRU in order to help create free and open learning materials. You will attend two to three group sessions of 2.5 hours each, to create cases for class discussions. Your initial questionnaire, focus group and reflections on the process will be analyzed to see if the process of students creating learning materials encourages you to care more for yourself, other students, teachers and the postsecondary community. You could be acknowledged by name as a co-author of the open resource/book, which will be used in BC and beyond. You will have helped to create caring, relevant, ethical study materials. Also, you will receive a $30 gift card. Please click the link below to provide your contact information, to answer a few questions in order to create your profile and to give your consent to the research project.

KPU Instructor and Student Authored Open Educational Resource & Ancillary Guide | Andrea Niosi Edited by Andrea Niosi (School of Business) [A person smiling in front of a sunset Description automatically generated with low confidence] Link to Resources: Introduction to Consumer Behaviour<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=42…> & Ancillary Resource Guide<https://opentextbc.ca/ancillaryconsumerbehaviour/> This open textbook was designed for students studying business or marketing at an undergraduate level. It draws on the fields of marketing, business, communications, media studies, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. The book invites readers to examine the internal forces that shape consumer decision making, such as perceptions, motivations, personality, and attitudes as well as the external ones, such as social and situational influences, culture, and subcultures. This text centres the lived experiences of today’s consumers, specifically, undergraduate students. The author has also made efforts to decentre whiteness and dominant culture perspectives wherever possible to ensure a broader and more accurate representation of diverse consumers. This OER contains content created by students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University and is best used alongside the Ancillary Resource Guide<https://opentextbc.ca/ancillaryconsumerbehaviour/> that contains several essays, case studies, assignments, and project outlines, and an accompanying multiple choice test bank.

This award is presented every year to an academic library team or individual who has made a real difference to students, faculty or colleagues in British Columbia. Launched in March 2019, OPUS<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> - a suite of Library services and tools - was created to support faculty at various stages in producing their Open Education Resources. This support has helped foster the creation of over 20 Open textbooks as well as several journals and the inclusion of a variety of faculty authored materials in KPU’s institutional repository. In addition to one-on-one consultations, the Team has also created several guides and workshops for faculty and students related to various aspects of Open Access and publishing, as well as sharing their knowledge with libraries at other institutions wanting to create their own Open publishing program. Please join me in congratulating our wonderful colleagues and OPUS Team members: Caroline Daniels, Systems, Web & Interlibrary Loans Librarian Karen Meijer-Kline, Scholarly Communications Librarian Paula Pinter, Library Technician Beverly Whiticutt, Library Technician Syreen Prestonji, Library Technician Urooj Nizami, Open Education Strategist [Text Description automatically generated] [logo gif] Rajiv Jhangiani, Ph.D. (pronouns: he/him/his; proper pronunciation<https://thatpsychprof.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Räjev-D??angeäne.m4a>) Associate Vice President, Teaching and Learning Kwantlen Polytechnic University t 604.599.3253 e rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca<mailto:rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca> www.kpu.ca/tlcommons<http://www.kpu.ca/tlcommons> | www.kpu.ca/cps<http://www.kpu.ca/cps> | www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Administrative Coordinator: Janice Webster t 604.598.6215 e janice.webster(a)kpu.ca<mailto:janice.webster(a)kpu.ca> This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

Critical Perspectives on Open Development , MIT Press 2021 (Changing Infrastructure in Urban India)
by David Sadoway 05 May '21

05 May '21

Dear 'Open' Colleagues, At this time the situation of friends and relations in India are on many of our minds. Let us hope we see more 'open access', pro-public goods solutions, that eliminates barriers to accessing vaccines, including opening IP access to vaccine 'recipe' and technology sharing commitments (see: People's Vaccine Campaign<https://peoplesvaccine.org/> for patent free vaccines and a vaccine IP waiver). Related to India, I am pleased to say that an article that Satyarupa Shekhar and myself did research on some time ago in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) has finally published. The article is open access through MIT Press and IDRC (Canada) and it is part of a book that will likely be of interest to many on this list, Critical Perspectives on Open Development. Here is the citation and location for our piece in the book; and this link will also lead you to the wider collection in the book: Sadoway, D. & Shekhar, S., “Changing Infrastructure in Urban India: Critical Reflections on Openness and Trust in the Governance of Public Services,” pp.115-130), in Critical Perspectives on Open Development<https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/5016/Critical-Perspectives-on-Open-Develo…> , MIT Press 2021), https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/11480.003.0010.

The creation, adaptation, and adoption of OER supports equitable access to education. Open pedagogy may be understood as an access-oriented commitment to learner-driven education. An increasingly popular form of open pedagogy involves the design and use of renewable assignments. Renewable assignments (also known as non-disposable assignments)those that add value to a student's world, live outside of the boundaries and beyond the duration of the course, and are likely to have a lasting impact. Disposable assignments, on the other hand, are those that only the instructor and students will see and which students are likely to throw away once they have been graded (Seraphin et al., 2019<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1475725718811711>; Wiley, 2013 <https://opencontent.org/blog/archives/2975> ).

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.

Monday, March 1 | 12:30 – 1:30pm Wicked Problems and Open Remedies: A student centered approach Facilitated by Arley Cruthers (KPU) Panelists: Kristen Morgan (UBC Okanagan), Sophia Nguyen (SFU), Caitlin Spreeuw (Douglas College) In planning and policy, 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 event is organized by the BC Open Education Librarians (BCOEL) group with sponsorship from BCcampus, Capilano University, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Langara College, and the University of British Columbia (UBC) Okanagan campus. To register, please visit: https://bit.ly/3u9Mj4Z<https://bit.ly/3u9Mj4Z> Tuesday, March 2 | 10:00 – 11:00am Open Education Research: Tips and advice Facilitated by Melissa Ashman Faculty across BC have access to tremendous support and opportunities to engage in open education.

Workshop: Introduction to Open Pedagogy
by Urooj Nizami 15 Jan '21

15 Jan '21

Workshop: Introduction to Open Pedagogy In this workshop, participants will learn the "who", "what", and "why" of Open Pedagogy (OP) and then have an opportunity to explore OP options and ideas that may work in their teaching environments. Break-out groups and spontaneous brainstorming will help direct the workshop activities. Participants should come somewhat prepared with an idea of a course they'd like to infuse with new pedagogical practices that better centre student discovery, expression, and experiences. Join Melissa Ashman, Arley Cruthers, and Andrea Niosi to learn more! Tuesday, January 19 10am - 11:30am Register here<https://tlevents.kpu.ca/mod/booking/view.php?id=161&optionid=163&action=sho…>. Open Pedagogy is an access-oriented commitment to learner-driven education. It is also a process of designing architectures and using tools for learning that enable students to shape the public knowledge commons of which they are a part. Open pedagogy can include creating, adapting, or updating OER with students, building course policies, outcomes, assignments, rubrics, and schedules of work collaboratively with students, or facilitating student-created and student-controlled learning environments.

Happy New Year & Open Education 2021 Opportunities
by Urooj Nizami 23 Dec '20

23 Dec '20

Dear Colleagues, Consider one or more opportunities to engage with open education in the New Year! 1. [Extended] Open Education Research Fellow—Now accepting applicants If you’re interested in research and building upon your experiences with Open Educational Resources (OER), the Open Education Research Fellowship<https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship> is for you! Receive up to $4500 in funding for this annual fellowship that runs from January 1 to December 31 and is aimed at supporting scholarly research on open educational practices by regular faculty at KPU. This may include investigations into the cost savings, perceptions, outcomes, and use of open educational resources (see the Open Education Group’s COUP framework<https://openedgroup.org/coup>) as well as research on the perceptions and impact of renewable assignments and other forms of open pedagogy. For more information and to apply by January 29, 2021 visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship Hear why open is so important to our current Research Fellow: “[Open] is a pathway for me to be student-centred for all my students because it removes financial and other barriers that might be exclusionary. By using OER and open pedagogy practices, I am working with students, amplifying their perspectives, experiences, and voices. As KPU’s inaugural Open Education Research Fellow, I am conducting one of the first studies to explore the perceptions of faculty and students towards open pedagogy, in the hopes that faculty and administrators can make informed choices about open education practices and its support.” -Melissa Ashman (Faculty of Business) 2. Open Educational Resources (OER) Grants—Now accepting applicants   Support KPU’s commitment to open education by applying to the OER Grant program. Regular faculty can apply for up to $4000 in funding to create OER or up to $2000 to adapt existing OER! In Spring 2020, Statistics Canada collected data from over 100,000 postsecondary students reporting on the impacts of COVID-19<https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-627-m/11-627-m2020032-eng.htm>. Forty-eight percent of students with a job reported either losing their job or being temporarily laid off. Results from a 2017 study<http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/3012/4206> of BC postsecondary institutions, including KPU, showed that 54% students did not purchase a required textbook at least once. Study after study, including at KPU<https://doi.org/10.5206/cjsotl-rcacea.2018.1.5>, has also shown that students have achieved the same or better outcomes when using OER. Join over 400 of your colleagues who actively engage with open education by saving students money and increasing accessibility to educational resources. Participating in the OER Grant program can enrich student learning and provide an opportunity to explore your pedagogical practice in a collaborative and supportive environment. Adapt OER by: * Updating or localizing existing textbooks  <https://libguides.kpu.ca/opentextbooks> * Incorporating interactive components through H5P applications<https://h5p.org/content-types-and-applications>   * Developing ancillary resources (such as question banks), including collaborating with students through open pedagogical practices   Create OER by: * Authoring new open textbooks in areas of need   * Creating open courseware, including videos, lecture slides, learning activities, and more   * Establishing open access journals   To apply and for more information visit kpu.ca/open/grants <https://www.kpu.ca/open/grants> Applications are now open and will be accepted until January 15, 2021. 🔗<https://media.kpu.ca/media/What+are+Open+Educational+ResourcesF/0_8zhj26kp> OER are materials that are freely accessible and openly available for anyone to use, re-mix, improve and redistribute. This could include images, videos, interactive simulations, worksheets, and of course textbooks.

Open Education Research Fellow: Call for applicants Dear Colleagues, If you’re interested in research and building upon your experiences with Open Educational Resources (OER), the Open Education Research Fellowship<https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship> is for you! Receive up to $4500 in funding for this annual fellowship that runs from January 1 to December 31 and is aimed at supporting scholarly research on open educational practices by regular faculty at KPU. This may include investigations into the cost savings, perceptions, outcomes, and use of open educational resources (see the Open Education Group’s COUP framework<https://openedgroup.org/coup>) as well as research on the perceptions and impact of renewable assignments and other forms of open pedagogy. For more information and to apply by November 30, 2020 visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship Hear why open is so important to our current Research Fellow: “[Open] is a pathway for me to be student-centred for all my students because it removes financial and other barriers that might be exclusionary. By using OER and open pedagogy practices, I am working with students, amplifying their perspectives, experiences, and voices. As KPU’s inaugural Open Education Research Fellow, I am conducting one of the first studies to explore the perceptions of faculty and students towards open pedagogy, in the hopes that faculty and administrators can make informed choices about open education practices and its support.” -Melissa Ashman (Faculty of Business) Best, [logo gif] Urooj Nizami; MISt, MA (she/her) Open Education Strategist, Office of Open Education Kwantlen Polytechnic University e urooj.nizami(a)kpu.ca<mailto:urooj.nizami(a)kpu.ca> w www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Subscribe to the KPU Open listserv here<lists.bccampus.ca/mailman/listinfo/openkpu> Kwantlen Polytechnic University ► Where thought meets action This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

Workshop Series by Authors of Open Pedagogy Approaches
by Urooj Nizami 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Authors speak to their Open Pedagogy Approaches: Faculty, Library, and Student Collaborations Today we are at a pivotal moment in history. The Covid-19 crisis has resulted in a paradigm shift on how learners of all ages, worldwide, can access learning. It is therefore more than ever essential that the global community comes together now to foster universal access to information and knowledge through [open educational resources]. -- Joint statement, Mrs. Stefania Giannini, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Education, and Mr. Moez Chakchouk, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Communication and Information (http://sli.bnu.edu.cn/uploads/soft/200518/2_1851146971.pdf) It is under this context that the fortuitously-timed release of Open Pedagogy Approaches: Faculty, Library, and Student Collaborations<https://milnepublishing.geneseo.edu/openpedagogyapproaches/> offers prime examples to educators to adjust their approach to teaching and the ways in which they involve their students in the learning process. Open Pedagogy Approaches is an open collection of case studies that highlight various interpretations of what open educational practices can mean to you and your students. While not exclusive to pandemic pedagogy or online learning, a move toward open practices seems a natural fit for the COVID age where universal access to information is essential. The author series of workshops (https://tinyurl.com/OP-author-series) will represent models from the four main sections of the book, providing educators with a taste of what's possible in their classrooms (whether physical, virtual, or hybrid) and a suggested roadmap to get there. All materials shared within the chapters are openly licensed meaning that they are free to use, revise, and remix to fit the specifics of your course design. Each 60-minute workshop will be broken into two presentations under one main topical focus, expanding the ideas that audience members can consider.
