Open Education Talks - Call for Proposals!

by BC Open Education Librarians

Dear Colleagues, We are excited to announce the third annual offering of The Open Education Talks<https://oetalks.opened.ca/>, first offered in 2022 as The Open Pedagogy Talks, a series of lightning talks focusing on open education in postsecondary institutions. These 15-minute talks will be about facets of open education, including open pedagogy and learning, utilizing open educational resources, and integrating open strategies in higher education. These talks aim to create an accessible, virtual space to engage in conversations about open education. For these talks, we share our understanding of open education from the UNESCO Cape Town Declaration: “…open education is not limited to just open educational resources. It also draws upon open technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible learning and the open sharing of teaching practices that empower educators to benefit from the best ideas of their colleagues'' (UNESCO Cape Town Declaration, 2018). Potential speakers are invited to submit a proposal for a 15-minute talk under the umbrella of the following streams: * Exploring Open Education: These talks focus on the facets of open education, why it has been impactful in higher education, and examples in higher education. * Open Learning Design: These talks focus on integrating open learning principles into current and future program and course designs. * Creating Open Educational Resources: These talks focus on creating, identifying, using, and sharing open educational resources in higher education. * Open Scholarship and Research Practices: These talks focus on how educators and learners integrate open research into their courses and scholarship of teaching and learning practices. For examples of topics for the Talks for each stream, please visit The Open Education Talks<https://oetalks.opened.ca/> website. Important Dates: * Proposal Deadline: December 18, 2023 * Speakers Notified: January 12, 2024 * Registration Open: February 1, 2024 Talks Schedule: Every Wednesday in March 2024 at 12:00 PM MST Submission: Please submit your proposal here<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=7KAJxuOlMUaWhhkigL2RUaX…> by December 18, 2023. Open Education Talks Working Group: This initiative has been developed in partnership with the University of Calgary, Thompson Rivers University, and the University of Alberta.

[cid:a54bb59f-ef14-4436-a148-5ccb4e0fbf29] Dear colleagues, You are invited to register for the Spring 2023 Workshop<https://etug.ca/2023/04/03/spring-workshop-2023-registration/> hosted by the Educational Technology Users Group (ETUG). In this two-day online and in-person workshop — titled “Future-proof Learning Design: The Integration of Digital Literacy, Inclusive Tech, and AI” — we will showcase how instructors, education developers, and education technologists are approaching design. For example, we’ll explore how digital literacy, inclusive technology, and AI could be “baked” into courses and how instructors are supported in making design decisions around technology. We’ll also consider the ongoing communication and capacity-building at institutions around digital literacy, accessibility, and AI, such as how teaching and learning centres and libraries get the word out to instructors and students about new approaches and resources. Join us online via Zoom or in-person at Kwantlen Polytechnic University Lansdowne Road Campus in Richmond, B.C.,<https://www.kpu.ca/richmond> for this 2-day hybrid event, sponsored by BCcampus. * Day 1: Thursday, June 1, 2023: 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM Pacific Time * Day 2: Friday, June 2, 2023: 9:00 AM to 3:45 PM Pacific Time * Schedule available here.<https://etug.ca/2023/04/25/spring-workshop-2023-schedule/> Workshop Rates: 2-day Registration Only * In-Person: $200 CAD + GST (light meals and snacks will be provided) * Online: $150 CAD + GST * Students: Free In-person registration closes at 11:59 p.m. Pacific on Friday, May 26.

OER in Institutional Repositories

by Fields, Erin

Hello, I have a question related to how people deal with open educational resources in their institutional repositories. Are there any best practices/processes you use for the metadata? Do you have particular Dublin Core fields and descriptors, keywords you use, or descriptive information that makes it easier to find within your repository? Thanks for any help you can give! Erin
