Dear colleagues, The Open Education Working Group (OEWG)<https://www.kpu.ca/open/oewg> brings together key stakeholders from across the institution to provide advice and support for KPU’s open education initiatives, which include the creation, adaptation, and adoption of open educational resources, the development of Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) programs, and the embrace of innovative open pedagogies.

As the term of one of our current faculty representatives is soon coming to an end, this is a call for expressions of interest from faculty who would like to join this dynamic group for a two-year term. To read more about the mandate, composition, and operating procedures of this group, please visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/oewg Please submit all expressions of interest to open(a)kpu.ca<mailto:open(a)kpu.ca> by Friday, November 12, 2021.

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.
