Hello!
FYI, some of us were noticing that our OE Weeks events were not showing up under the usual OE Week category or tag on the BCcampmus events calendar. I found out that they have put all OE Week events together into one calendar entry: Open Education Week 2025<https://bccampus.ca/event/open-education-week-2025/?instance_id=3918>
Cheers,
Amanda

Kwantlen Polytechnic University ► Where thought meets action
I respectfully acknowledge that I work in a region that overlaps with the unceded, traditional and ancestral lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam<https://www.musqueam.bc.ca/>), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie<https://katzie.ca/>), scəw̓aθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen<https://tsawwassenfirstnation.com/>), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem<https://www.kwikwetlem.com/>), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo<https://www.semiahmoofirstnation.ca/>),qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and the qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen<https://www.kwantlenfn.ca/>), which gifted its name to this university.
In the cause of reconciliation, I recognize and commit to address and reduce ongoing systemic colonialism, oppression and racism that Indigenous Peoples continue to experience.

Hello all,
May I ask you to promote BCOEL's March 6<https://bcoel.ca/events/oeweek-event-registration/>th<https://bcoel.ca/events/oeweek-event-registration/> event<https://bcoel.ca/events/oeweek-event-registration/> at your home institutions? Unfortunately, we only have about 12 people registered so far (compared with about 100 people for last year's event). Please be sure to sign yourselves up too, even if you can't make it or plan to attend the in-person group event. This will ensure you receive the recording, and will give us a better sense of the event's reach (BCcampus seeks these kind of metrics as a sponsorship condition).
Sincere thanks for helping to make this event a success!
-Lindsay

Good afternoon, all
Hope you're enjoying this lovely Friday before the long weekend!
The BCOEL Steering Committee met this Monday and had a great meeting! We discussed what everyone is planning for the upcoming OE week, as well as discussed questions about publishing, textbook costs and more! You can find all previous minutes on the BCOEL Meeting Minutes page<https://bcoel.ca/the-bcoel-steering-committee/steering-committee-minutes/>.
We're also excited to officially announce the BCOEL OE Week hybrid event on March 6th. We're delighted to have Dr. Ann Gagné present a virtual keynote titled: Vectors of Trust: Practicing Reciprocal Values in Challenging Times from 2:30-3:30pm. I'm really looking forward to it, and all are welcome to join. Find more details and registration link on the BCOEL OEWeek Event Registration page<https://bcoel.ca/events/oeweek-event-registration/>.
As a hybrid event, we will also be holding an in-person portion at Langara College on March 6th from about 12:00-16:00 (specific campus location on campus to come). We've organized an afternoon of activity! There will be lunch, a screening of the BCIT OE event<https://bcit.libcal.com/event/3883294> taking place from 13:00-14:00, coffee break, and will conclude with the keynote presentation. We can continue the festivities at the Langara Clubhouse afterwards as well. The in-person event is only for the BCOEL network, please respond to this message (or me personally) before Friday February 28th to express interest and attendance.
Thanks all in advance and hope you have a terrific weekend ahead!
Best,
Liz

Hello everyone,
I realized today that I have been woefully lax at updating our membership on the website. I have gone through and made edits based on my memory, but please take a moment to check the list and make sure that I have the right person/institution listed! Additionally, if there are other past members we should be acknowledging please let me know.
