by Lin Brander

Hello Everyone, BCIT has posted for a 3 month full-time contract librarian from Jan. 4-March 31. This position will be involved in open education work as well as subject liaison. It is a quick turn-around closing Nov. 13. Please consider applying if you are interested or forwarding this posting on to anyone who is interested in open education work. This will be a working remote position so I think the search committee can consider people who are not based in the Lower Mainland. https://careers.bcit.ca/postings/3394 https://partnershipjobs.ca/jobs/23862 Best, Lin Lin Brander| Librarian, Electronics & Computer Systems; Open Education|British Columbia Institute of Technology T 604-432-8922<tel:604-432-8922>| E lbrander(a)bcit.ca<mailto:lbrander@bcit.ca>| W bcit.ca/library<http://www.bcit.ca/library/> | O open.bcit.ca<https://open.bcit.ca/>

Rebus Office Hours: Writing Math and Science Textbooks

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, At 11 a.m. PST on Thursday, November 5, Rebus is hosting a session called Office Hours: Writing Math and Science Textbooks<https://www.rebus.community/t/office-hours-writing-math-and-science-textboo…>. The event is described as follows: Writing and publishing math and science open textbooks, lab manuals, and other related ancillaries usually involves a unique set of challenges. In this session, our guests will discuss their experience creating math and science textbooks on a variety of publishing platforms and tools including Pressbooks, LaTeX, and LibreTexts. Topics will include how to add formulas, create interactivity through PhET or H5P simulations, and ensure accessibility. This is not a how-to session, but rather an overview of the tradeoffs between platforms and a discussion of strategies for creating math and science open textbooks that meets author and student expectations. This session would be of interest to those who are publishing math and science textbooks and want to hear about the different strategies that others are applying to the task. If you would like to attend this session, you can RSVP online on the Rebus site.

Webinar: Publishing Indigenous Perspectives Online: How RavenSpace Editors Approach Collaboration

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, I hope you can join us for the following webinar on Tuesday, October 6, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. PDT: Publishing Indigenous Perspectives Online: How RavenSpace Editors Approach Collaboration<https://bccampus.ca/event/publishing-indigenous-perspectives-online-how-rav…>. RavenSpace, developed by UBC Press, is a digital platform for publications that aims to support Indigenous community-based research and authorship. It functions as a place where, with community permission, Indigenous knowledge can be shared, but also protected—where knowledge holders may maintain and assert their cultural protocols that govern how certain materials should be accessed, and by whom. In this session, we will show how RavenSpace has integrated publishing and web design workflows with the needs and rights of Indigenous community members and authors. We will share some of RavenSpace’s collaborative approaches, and, more broadly, will discuss additional ways to build cultural considerations into editorial and design choices. Attendees are welcome to share their own examples of approaching culturally sensitive materials in a collaborative environment, as we will allow time for discussion. More information on how to register can be found here: https://bccampus.ca/event/publishing-indigenous-perspectives-online-how-rav… Best, Arianna Cheveldave Coordinator, Open Education, BCcampus Email: acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:acheveldave@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.

OERs in Grad Programs

by Ali de Haan

Hi All, I'm having a discussion with a few of my planning committee members and could use examples of OERs used at the grad level. They seem to think it is something used at the undergrad level only. If you have any examples of courses/programs at your institutions or can point me to any grad specific resources, I'd love to hear to them. Thanks in advance, Ali
