A video recording of the keynote speech and panel discussion will also be made and shared after the event. Please feel free to forward this information to any colleagues who may be interested as well. Thanks, Hope -- Hope Power Teaching & Learning Librarian W.A.C.

Please join us on Tuesday , March 28th at SFU Harbour Centre (515 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC) from 5:30pm-8:30pm. This event is open to all and free, but seating is limited and [ http://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches-depts/rc/32099 | registration ] is required. The Failure of Access: Rethinking Open Education The use of open re-use licenses and Internet technologies have long promised to reduce barriers to education by making it more distributed, equitable, and open. Indeed, the promise of open education can trace its roots to the the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations 1948, which states “everyone has a right to education.” There is little formal evidence, however, that open education has an impact on increasing access to learning or making education more equitable. This event will explore the goals, failures, and successes of open education. Join us in exploring such questions as: is open education succeeding in being a transformative movement that makes learning more accessible? What are the criteria and successes that should be used to measure if the open education movement is a success? What more needs to be done? Our discussion will be led by keynote speaker Dr. Ishan Abeywardena (Advisor - Open Education Resources) from the [ https://www.col.org/ | Commonwealth of Learning ] and panelists from [ https://www.sfu.ca/ | SFU ] , [ https://www.ubc.ca/ | UBC ] , [ http://caperbc.ca/ | CAPER-BC ] , and [ https://sparcopen.org/ | SPARC ] .

Fwd: Open Education Week (Mar 27-31) HOW-TO-Guide

by Rosario Passos

Hi everyone, Here are some ways that you can promote OEW at your institution: Cheers, Rosario Three ways that PSE institutions can participate in [ https://www.openeducationweek.org/ | Open Education Week ] (OEW March 27-31 ) 1. Organize one or more local activities (speaker, workshop, student reception) on campus during OEW to create open education awareness. There are promotional materials that can be downloaded and customized from the OEW site (banners, posters, slide templates). Optional but recommended: submit these local events to the OEW site and let your colleagues around the country know what you are doing. (Organizers might include library, prof dev dept, teaching & learning centers, student services) 2. Share the OEW online activities and resources with your campus . Organize a brown bag lunch or faculty meet-up around a webinar submitted to the Open Education Week calendar. Facilitate informal discussions on open education before and after. 3. Submit resources to the OEW site from your college e.g. short videos, infographs, case studies that showcase your OER adoptions and degrees (due end-of-February). Colleges can also submit their own branded webinars to the OEW site and present about their OER programs/pilots. Rosario Passos Advisor, Open Education BC campus | connect.collaborate.innovate.

Systems Librarian assistance.

by Amanda Coolidge

Good afternoon Librarians! I am looking for a systems librarian for a technical consultation. To be more specific, we are moving our repository from Equella to DSpace and want to have permanent identifiers for the collection. DSpace is capable of working with handles and we need verification that there are no Canadian instances of handle registries and if that is correct, we need verification that a long term relationship with Handle.net (via USA) is in our interest. Please reply to Brad Payne (bpayne(a)bccampus.ca) and I (acoolidge(a)bccampus.ca) Thanks!

Reminder: Webinar Wednesday Feb 22 Faculty and Students working together to create OER: the Open Case Studies Project at UBC

by Amanda Coolidge

Webinar presenter: Christina Hendricks, University of British Columbia Webinar title: Faculty and Students working together to create OER: the Open Case Studies Project at UBC Webinar date: February 22 from 10 am- 11 am Link to Webinar <https://sas.elluminate.com/m.jnlp?password=M.9716A481E77FC1D4085E27F9A85CF8…> Presentation Description: The Open Case Studies project <http://cases.open.ubc.ca/> at the University of British Columbia brings together faculty and students to create and edit case studies as open educational resources. We have started by focusing on courses that have to do with sustainability because there are many courses across our campus that address issues in sustainability in some way and that use case studies to do so. However, we are interested in any courses that use case studies and that want to make them open and available for others to revise and reuse. We have a small number of case studies so far, but hope the numbers will grow in the coming years as more faculty and students become involved. So far all of our cases are from courses at UBC, but we are investigating ways to include contributions from people around BC or beyond. Christina Hendricks, the lead faculty member on the project, will discuss how the project has worked so far, how courses have involved students in reading, adding to, or creating case studies, and how others can get involved. Christina Hendricks is a Professor of Teaching in Philosophy at the University of British Columbia-Vancouver, who is also an advocate for open education generally, including the use and creation of open textbooks and other open educational resources. From 2014-2015 she was a Faculty Fellow with the BCcampus Open Textbook project, and from 2015-2017 she was an OER Research Fellow with the Open Education Group. <http://openedgroup.org/> Amanda Coolidge Senior Manager, Open Education BCcampus | connect.collaborate.innovate. 120- 645 Fort Street | Victoria BC V8W 1G2 Tel 250-818-4592 | www.bccampus.ca <http://www.bccampus.ca/> Skype: coolidge.amanda Twitter: @acoolidge Open textbooks: open to change, free to use Over 200 B.C.
