Hello all,
At our last meeting Hope provided a summary of the findings from the open education strategy discussions that she, Donna, and Erin facilitated earlier this year. The findings are also summarized in this document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oh6nTacqyQEuOAJQIz37QrffNfdCBcrOVdPQNDL…>.
Many thanks to Hope, Donna, and Erin for your work on this!
All the best,

Hi again all,
I forgot to mention - today was Mia's last BCOEL Steering Committee meeting! She joined BCOEL last year while working on a short-term open education contract at Langara and stayed on with the group during her time at CapU. She recently re-joined Langara as our media librarian and this work is leading her away from open ed.
That being said, I know Mia remains a strong proponent of open ed and will find other ways to support this work in her new portfolio (for example, she's currently organizing Langara's second annual Open Student Scholar Prize<https://langara.libguides.com/open-education/openstudentscholarprize>). Thanks for your many contributions to BCOEL, Mia - especially in terms of event planning!
Sincerely,
Lindsay

Hi everyone,
I'm looking forward to seeing you next Monday from 1pm-2pm via Zoom<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flangara.z…>. Please send me agenda items by this Friday (March 19) at noon and I'll circulate the agenda shortly thereafter.
I've attached the revised draft minutes from our February meeting for you to review. Thanks to Donna for recording these!
Liz Padilla has been working with BCcampus as a metadata librarian, helping them identify a metadata profile for their open collections. As part of this work, she delivered recommendations to BCcampus about how to improve the findability of OER within the library community. She has asked to share these with us at next week's meeting.
Also, Donna is taking a well-deserved vacation day on March 22. Could I ask for a volunteer to record the minutes? I can provide a template to make things easier.
Many thanks,
Lindsay

Hello all,
Kony Trudel from the Canada School of Public Service reached out to BCcampus regarding two BCOEL documents: the Open Education Resource Repository (OERR) Rubric<https://open.bccampus.ca/files/2014/07/OERR-Rubric.pdf> and the Faculty Guide for Evaluating Open Education Resources<https://open.bccampus.ca/files/2014/07/Faculty-Guide-22-Apr-15.pdf>. Specifically, Kony would like to have these documents translated into French and is hoping we can provide the original files (.docx, .pptx).
...I joined BCOEL in late 2017 so these documents (which were created/revised in 2015) preceded me. Thanks in advance for your leads!
Best,
Lindsay

Hi everyone,
For a long time now I’ve wanted us to share what resources we use just as OpenOregon<https://openoregon.org/resources/> does and I specifically asked that and Mary Burgess said that it was a privacy issue. I would find it invaluable to know if someone at another institution is using an OER/library ebook for their course.
Until we can do something like Oregon, perhaps we can figure out a way that we can share a spreadsheet with each other that would just indicates the course and the specific resource used and then at least we can contact each other for more details.
I’d be happy to work on this with anyone who would like to see this happen as well.
Have a good weekend all.

Hello All,
I'm the keeper of the BCcampus adoption lists. Thus far these lists have not been made public, though we at BCcampus have talked about if this should be done, how the adopting faculty/institutions would feel about it, and what would be the best way to share/display this information (and what would need to be done at our end technically) if this was done.
I do know that some institutions post their adoption information such as Douglas (individual blogs<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopendougl…>), KPU<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkpu.press…>, Langara<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublic.ta…>, UBC (individual blogs<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.ubc.…>), which I post on these institution's pages in the Post-Secondary Directory. (Let me know if I've missed any.)
I'm happy to participate in this discussion either at a meeting or by listserv.

Subject: [Bcoelsteering] Open Textbooks/OER Adoptions
Hi all,
CapU open education faculty fellows are working with their departments (Kinesiology, STEM, Communications, Psychology) to identify potential open educational resources for key courses in their programs.
Are the lists each of us send to BCcampus for tracking open textbooks publicly available? Has anyone used another institution's list to cross-reference what courses at their institution might use the same resources? Other institution's lists could also help convince departments that are hesitant to using OER, if another BC institution's related faculty are using OER.
Would anyone be willing to share their list? Do we think these documents have a place on the BCOEL OER Commons group (updated once a year)? Some people cite privacy issues with sharing faculty names, but those could be redacted.
Interested to hear people's thoughts and if anyone is willing to share their institution's open resources tracking documents. If people are already doing this, even better!
Cheers,
Darcye

Hello all,
As I mentioned during our last meeting, I approached CPSLD (the association representing post-secondary library directors in B.C.) in February about collaborating with BCOEL on copyright advocacy efforts. Last week CPSLD confirmed that they were keen to jointly author a submission regarding implementation of the copyright term extension.
Under CUSMA (the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement, or 'new NAFTA') the term of copyright in Canada will be extended from life of the creator +50 years, to life +70. This will have a great impact on open educational practice, and higher education more broadly. The government gave stakeholders just one month to submit comments on how the extension should be implemented. The due date for submissions is tomorrow, March 12. The educational sector asked for an extension, but the request was denied by the departments leading the consultation process, Heritage Canada and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED).
Over the past week, I worked with Darcye to draft the CPSLD/BCOEL submission. It received approval from Trish Rosseel, CPSLD Chair and Director, Learning Resources & Records Management at Douglas College, and one of the association's members who works closely with copyright. It's now with the general CPSLD membership for further comment.
We'd also like to invite members of the BCOEL Steering Committee to review the draft and provide feedback (by noon tomorrow, if possible). Please feel free to insert your comments directly in the Google Doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/110lw-5xu99Jju6vOl7HeUWKgZofsiclnFR-eyOE…>.
We apologize for the quick turnaround, but there were lots of moving parts. The process has been very collaborative, with lots of information sharing and fruitful discussion amongst PSI copyright specialists, higher ed administrators, and professional associations representing PSIs and libraries. In particular, there was debate about whether an 'opt in' registration system for the additional 20 years of copyright protection is feasible in the context of Canada's obligations under various international copyright treaties.
The approach we ultimately suggested aligns with College and Institutes Canada (CICan) and has been endorsed by a number of legal experts/scholars in Canada, including Michael Geist, Howard Knopf, and Meera Nair. A similar model was also proposed the by former Director of the U.S. Copyright Office back in 2013.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Sincerely,
Darcye and Lindsay

Hello all,
I think it is a great idea to share such data as well Darcye and while unfortunately, I have nothing to offer in terms of sharing back, I would find great benefit in knowing what others are using, as it could significantly help with advocacy and speed up helping others find relevant resources.
It would be amazing if this could be an open database ☺ a project for one day…
While I understand the privacy considerations, I think it is also valuable to know if certain faculty are ok with their names being shared, as this can serve as an extra piece of persuasion for the academic community who might ‘know’ the faculty using OER – it is like a behavioural nudge, if you know that someone you respect is doing this type of work, you might be more likely to do the same. What I want to say is, if a person is comfortable with their name being shared, it may increase the success of advocacy and give credibility to the efforts.
Have a lovely day everyone,

Hi all,
Thank you, Lauri and Debra, for the additional information and links you sent. The Open Oregon link is helpful, but even if we don't have the capacity to do something so formal in BC, I really see the value in sharing the information even within this group. I reviewed the individual institution's blogs and websites, but unfortunately the information tends to be fragmented or missing as the posts serve a different purpose.
One of the number one reasons faculty cite for not adopting OER is the time it takes to find the right materials. We may be able to cut down on that time for some courses by sharing what other related courses are using (we can redact faculty names if need be).
I know we are all very busy right now, so perhaps we can discuss this at our next meeting on March 22. If anyone is willing to share their information before then, it would be much appreciated (no pressure though). At Cap we have a student research assistant collecting our stats right now, but once the document is complete I can share it with anyone who is interested.
Cheers,
Darcye
