by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, I am writing to let you know about a BCcampus expression of interest request regarding the development of open courses<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/expression-of-interest-devel…>. In summer 2020, BCcampus began creating a collection of open courses<https://collection.bccampus.ca/> to assist instructors and course developers in creating and updating their courses, particularly while transitioning from in-person teaching to online. The collection currently contains nine full courses that are openly licensed and ready for use. We are looking for B.C. applicants who have developed, adapted, or adopted an open textbook in our B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/> to develop a new open course, or adapt an existing open course, that accompanies the textbook. Up to $8000 is available per grant, depending on how much work is required. Deadline for submissions is September 20, 2021. Read the expression of interest for more information. If you have any questions, please contact Melanie Meyers at mmeyers(a)bccampus.ca.

Open Education Policy Forum

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, This message is sent on behalf of Anahita Rezaei, Open Education & Advocacy Specialist, Centrum Cyfrowe. Open Education Policy Forum is coming back on September 15-16 for the sixth time (and online, too). We are looking forward to seeing you at the end of the summer to discuss the “Universe of Openness,” but today, we are excited to announce an Open Call for two key events that will be held during the Forum: * Lightning talks – presentation of the most inspiring Open Education initiatives from the time of the pandemic [September 15]. In the tradition of exchanging the best practices from Open Education, we’re seeking inspiring initiatives. Have you completed a project or started an inspirational initiative within OE Policy in the past year and are you willing to share it with the Open Education community? If so, we’re looking for you! You’ll have up to 7 minutes to present your project to the world. * Workshops for policy makers and OE activists [September 16]. In small groups of up to 15 participants, where every person can be heard and bring their unique perspective and experience, we want to talk about the future of Open Education. Our goal is to create realistic and achievable guidelines for the OE community in three areas: * Designing the future of open education policy based on know-how and good practices * New concepts & perspectives for the study on copyright for education * Open Education for Green & Climate Education Key dates Deadline for submission to lightning talks and workshops: August 15 Publication of results: August 17 Registration<https://forms.gle/7FhKmAR4qWeHFnAZ7> About the Forum. Open Education Policy Forum is an international conference organised by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation in cooperation with Communia Association, Hewlett Foundation, Intellectual Property Institute, OEGlobal, Otwarte Zasoby and SPARC Europe. Once a year, we bring together stakeholders (activists, researchers, teachers, policy makers) from around the world to exchange good practices and discuss challenges and opportunities faced by the Open Education community. We want to provide an opportunity for networking, exchange of knowledge and future collaborations. “The Universe of Openness” – about the upcoming edition of the Forum. Open Education initiatives have been expanding extraordinarily since 2020. Resources, institutions and infrastructure built on the OE model provide resilience to educational systems at the beginning of remote education. The pandemic time has redefined “openness” in education. Now, with so many various projects in progress, we want to ask the following: how can the OE community maintain this growth? And how can we expand, explore and improve it in the upcoming future? The conference will open with the premiere of a new pan-European study “Remote education during the pandemic: teachers perspective” conducted by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation and Communia Association. For more information, visit the Open Education Policy Forum 2021 website<https://centrumcyfrowe.pl/forum2021/>. Best Regards, -- Anahita Rezaei (she/her) - Forum coordinator Open Education & Advocacy Specialist Fundacja Centrum Cyfrowe centrumcyfrowe.pl<http://centrumcyfrowe.pl/>

Taking Up the Open Pedagogy Summer Adventure

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, The following is a message from Alan Levine, reaching out on behalf of OE Global. ---- What's an adventure without a dash of the unknown? My hope for our Open Pedagogy Summer Adventure<https://connect.oeglobal.org/c/open-pd/summer-adventure/47> was to flip the usual webinar style approach to what works beautifully here by email where people ask, answer, share when they can. All of the Summer Adventure series is freely available to read in OEG Connect, and to respond there use this special link <https://connect.oeglobal.org/invites/a4eGA3vSTB> for the quick route to make an account. Your interest we heard for learning about interactivity, specifically H5P, is in my corner, and Liz Yata will be sharing soon details on our webinar session next week. The activities I will review<https://connect.oeglobal.org/tag/interactivity-opsa>, are and will be available for anyone to use at any time. Here is the H5P Adventure. Each leads to an activity and a place to share what you discover or ask questions. * 0. The Interactivity Strand in the Summer Adventure: What Kind of H5P Do You Want<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/the-interactivity-strand-in-the-summer-adven…> - a poll and discussion to share what you know or want to know about H5P * 1. Before Grabbing the Tools<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-1-0-before-grabbing-the-tools/1933/10> - Find where and how to find examples of H5P interactivity to seed ideas what is possible * 2. Where to Make H5P?<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-2-0-where-to-make-h5p/2022/2> - Determine where you can get access to an H5P creation space * 3. Start From Scratch or Remix?<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-3-0-start-from-scratch-or-remix/2026/6> A value of H5P content is that it is truly reusable. If you are new to H5P it might be easier to learn the tools by modifying existing content. * 4. Pick Up a First Tool and Go<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/h5p-4-0-pick-up-a-first-tool-and-go/2058/2> - since there are 49 different content type tools, which ones are good start? We have suggestions More will be added, perhaps for the more complex tools like Branching Scenarios, but rather than us decided in advance we will base on your feedback. And I am sure there is some strong expertise here with H5P (more than mine) so we welcome people who know their way around H5P. There's more in the mix than H5P. Christina Riehman-Murphy and Bryan McGeary have provided a stand alone version of their OER Roadmap workshop<https://connect.oeglobal.org/tag/roadmap-opsa> (and are standing by to respond to questions). There has been good Q&A in a copyright topic<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/none-of-us-are-lawyers-ask-about-copyright-a…>, the typical CCCOER abundance of resource sharing<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/suggested-resources-for-learning-about-open-…>, and participants have shared as introductions<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/say-hello-and-share-your-summer-goals-in-ope…> and updates<https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/how-are-those-summer-projects-going/2059/> progress on their own summer open pedagogy projects. We hope to see you join the adventure when you can<https://connect.oeglobal.org/c/open-pd/summer-adventure/47>.
