KPU's 2020 Open Pedagogy Fellows
by Teaching and Learning Commons 29 May '20

29 May '20

Our annual Open Pedagogy Fellowship provides support for faculty to design "renewable assignments," authentic assessments that help students become agents of change in their communities. The assignments are collaboratively developed by multi-disciplinary teams across three institutions-KPU, Montgomery College (Maryland, USA), and Maricopa Community Colleges (Arizona, USA). The conceptual framework on which this fellowship is based is the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals<https://en.unesco.org/sdgs> (UN SDGs), which is a set of 17 goals that address a wide range of social issues, such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and peace and justice. The faculty teams design their course assignments over the summer and deploy them over the following academic year. A student showcase in the Spring provides an opportunity for the wider university community to appreciate the students' contributions. We are pleased to announce that KPU's 2020 Open Pedagogy Fellows are: Andrea Niosi (Marketing) Constanza Rojas-Primus (Languages and Cultures) David Sadoway (Geography) Dorothy Barenscott (Art History) Please join us in congratulating our latest fellows! For more information about the UN SDG Open Pedagogy Fellowship (including examples of assignments from the 2019 Fellows) please visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/un-sdg-fellowship

BCcampus call for Proposals: 2020 H5P OER Development Grant
by Karen Meijer-Kline 05 May '20

05 May '20

Dear colleagues, BCcampus has just put out a call for grant proposals focused on developing activities using H5P. This is the first of two calls for proposals targeting the development of formative activities for open homework systems. The second call will be issued in early summer 2020 and will focus on a soon to be determined platform that supports math-based courses and programs. This first call for proposals is for post-secondary instructors and faculty in British Columbia to develop sets of content types in H5P that support open textbooks in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection. The intent of these grants is to develop activities in which students can practice applying new concepts and skills that align with content within the selected open textbook. Eligible grantees include individual instructors, groups of faculty or instructors (either in a single institution or across multiple institutions), departments (either at a single institution or working collaboratively across multiple institutions), institutions, or external working groups made up of instructors and faculty connected to B.C. post-secondary institutions (i.e., articulation groups or other working groups). The maximum value of each grant is $10,000. For more information and to apply, please see: https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/call-for-proposals-2020-h5p-… All best, Karen ________________________________ Karen Meijer-Kline Scholarly Communications Librarian e Karen.Meijer-Kline(a)kpu.ca<mailto:Todd.Mundle(a)kpu.ca> she/her/hers kpu.ca/library<http://www.kpu.ca/library> Kwantlen Polytechnic University ?

by Rajiv Jhangiani 09 Mar '20

09 Mar '20

Dear colleagues, I am delighted to inform you that our inaugural Open Education Research Institute on May 14 is now full, with participants from across 15 institutions registered for the event, which will be held at our Civic Plaza campus. A waitlist is available. As a reminder, the Open Education Research Institute (OERI) is an opportunity for new and emerging researchers interested in open educational practices to deepen their knowledge and sharpen their skill set while connecting with other researchers and joining a Provincial mentorship network. The one-day institute will begin with an overview of existing research on open educational practices, including a special focus on research conducted in or by researchers in British Columbia. Participants will learn about different theoretical and methodological frameworks for research in open education and receive guidance on practical issues such as preparing applications for ethical review of their research projects and publishing their work in open access journals or repositories. Participants will work in affinity groups to draft and revise their research questions and be paired with an experienced researcher, who will serve as their mentor for the following year. For more information about the event and to join the waitlist, please visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/oeri Thank you, Rajiv [logo gif] Rajiv Jhangiani, Ph.D. (pronouns: he/him) Acting Vice Provost, Teaching & Learning & Associate Vice Provost, Open Education Kwantlen Polytechnic University t 604.599.3253 e rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca<mailto:rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca> www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

by Rajiv Jhangiani 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Dear colleagues, Following the success of last year’s cohort, I am delighted to share this call for applications for the 2020 Open Pedagogy Fellowship<https://www.kpu.ca/open/un-sdg-fellowship> that will once again focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals<https://en.unesco.org/sdgs> (SDGs). The SDGs are a set of 17 goals that address a wide range of social issues, such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and peace and justice. This year, in addition to continuing to partner with faculty at Montgomery College (Maryland, USA), the fellowship is expanding to include faculty from Maricopa Community Colleges (Arizona, USA). This fellowship program is designed to assist faculty with creating assignments to help students become agents of change in their own communities. Each fellowship team (which will include at least one faculty member from KPU and one faculty member from either Montgomery College or Maricopa Community Colleges) will design three “renewable assignments” during Summer 2020. A minimum of two assignments will be deployed in the classes of each fellowship team during the subsequent academic year. Faculty are expected to present to the KPU community at appropriate venues (e.g., Teaching, Learning, Scholarship, & Research Symposium) on their work. A student showcase will take place during the Spring 2021 semester (tentatively planned for Tuesday, February 23, 2021). It is anticipated that up to 10 teams will be selected per year for the UN SDG Open Pedagogy Fellowship, which includes training and support from the Office of Open Education. Open Pedagogy Fellows will be required to attend a kick-off meeting and three additional meetings throughout the summer: * Tuesday, May 26, 10:00am-1:00pm (Kick-off Meeting) * Wednesday, June 10, 10:00am-1:00pm * Wednesday, June 24, 10:00am-1:00pm * Wednesday, August 12, 10:00am-1:00pm KPU faculty interested in becoming a UN SDG Open Pedagogy Faculty Fellow should discuss their interest with the Rajiv Jhangiani<mailto:rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca>, Associate Vice Provost, Open Education. There will be priority consideration for applications for teams, including interdisciplinary teams. Communications with Montgomery College/Maricopa Community Colleges faculty and students can be done entirely through web conferencing and/or email. Completed applications must be endorsed by the Dean of your Faculty/School and submitted to open(a)kpu.ca<mailto:open(a)kpu.ca> by midnight on March 30, 2020. Applications will be adjudicated by the Open Education Working Group<http://www.kpu.ca/open/oewg>. Faculty will be notified of acceptance into the fellowship the week of April 6, 2020.
