Hello everyone,
I mentioned in the last meeting that I worked on a book during my practicum with Rebus Community (one of the chapters features Dr. Christina Hendricks from UBC). Here is the link if anyone is interested:

CARL’s Open Education Working Group wants to share this opportunity for you to engage with the following professional development opportunity around Open Education. Further webinars will be announced very soon.
How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER
http://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/free-webinar-inclusive-and-accessible-oer/
Date: October 16, 2019
Time: 10am PST | 1pm EST
Registration: https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca<https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca/>
Please note that although this presentation will be in English, slides will be made available in both English and French.
In this webinar, we will talk about how to design OER so they are more inclusive and accessible for all students. This will include an overview of the technical considerations of digital accessibility. For example, what are the minimum technical requirements that ensure students with print disabilities can access and navigate through the resource? We will also look at how inclusive design practices can help us create educational materials that are more versatile and useful for students. For example, what does an accessible resource look like for a student with no personal computer? Or a student with a learning disability that makes reading difficult? Ultimately, students can be very different from each other, and what may work for one student may not work for another. But by designing for those differences, we can create educational materials that are more useful, powerful, and accessible to all.
Presenter’s Bio

Le Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC souhaite vous inviter à participer à l’occasion de perfectionnement professionnel suivante se rapportant à l’éducation ouverte. Le reste de la série de webinaires sera annoncée sous peu.
How to Create Inclusive and Accessible OER
[Comment créer des REL inclusives et accessibles]
http://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/nouvelles/webinaire-gratuit-rel-inclusives-et-ac…
Date : Le 16 octobre 2019
Heure : 10 h HNP | 13 h HNE
Inscription : https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca<https://carl-accessible-oer-webinar.eventbrite.ca/>
Bien que la présentations se fera en anglais, les diapositives seront disponibles en anglais et en français.
Au cours de ce webinaire, nous discuterons de la façon de concevoir des ressources éducatives libres (REL) afin qu’elles soient plus inclusives et plus accessibles pour tous les étudiants. Un aperçu des considérations techniques de l’accessibilité numérique sera présenté. Par exemple, quelles sont les exigences techniques minimales qui permettent aux étudiants incapables de lire les imprimés d’accéder à la ressource et de s’y retrouver? Nous examinerons également en quoi les pratiques de conception inclusive peuvent nous aider à créer du matériel pédagogique plus polyvalent et plus utile pour les étudiants. Par exemple, à quoi ressemble une ressource accessible pour un étudiant qui n’a pas d’ordinateur personnel? Ou pour un étudiant ayant un trouble d’apprentissage qui rend la lecture plus difficile? En fin de compte, les étudiants peuvent être très différents les uns des autres, et ce qui convient à l’un peut ne pas convenir à l’autre. Mais, en procédant à la conception en fonction de ces différences, nous pouvons créer du matériel pédagogique plus utile, plus puissant et plus accessible à tous.

Hello All,
I would like to introduce you to Donna Langille. She is the new Community Engagement Librarian at UBC-Okanagan and is interested in becoming involved with BCOEL and open education generally in BC. I think she would be a good addition to the team and may help provide some support from UBC while I’m busy working with the CARL group. She has also done some work with Rebus Community prior to her coming to UBC-O. I think she will have a great perspective for the group!
Best,
Erin

Hello,
At our last "in person" meeting I mentioned I would like to request some release time (25% plus) for an Open Education Faculty Fellow within Douglas.
Someone, other than Kwantlen who has an Associate Vice Provost for Open Education, mentioned at the meeting that there is someone at their institution and I thought I jotted that down and now I can't find where I jotted that down :)
Could you let me know if you have something or trying to get something like this at your institution. If you have a Faculty Fellow or are working on it, have you put forward a rationale proposal and would you be willing to share that document?
Thanks for any information you can provide.

Hi again all,
Based on the number of interested emails I received, I am forwarding the files Jennifer Weldon created for the BCcampus open textbook collection look-up tool with the whole list.
Lauri, Jennifer (who works on contract with both Langara and VCC) created the tool and was happy for me to share the code with BCcampus and the wider open ed community. No sense re-inventing the wheel! 😉
Best,
Lindsay

Hi Jennifer,
I attended the BC Open Ed Librarians retreat at BCIT Vancouver yesterday and a few attendees asked if you would be willing to share the BC Open Textbook Collection look-up tool you created for the VCC and Langara open ed LibGuides. If you are, I’m wondering about the best way to share it(?) Any suggestions are welcome!
Many thanks,

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that we have the June BCOEL Steering Committee Meeting on Wednesday, June 12th at BCIT's Downtown Campus (555 Seymour Street, Vancouver) in room 481. The meeting will be from 9am to noon, but the room is booked for 8:30. We will not be providing refreshments due to budget issues, so please be sure to bring coffee/morning snack if so desired. We'll build in a longer coffee break in the agenda to give us time to go downstairs and get required caffeine.
Some of the topics to discuss/work on include:
o Youtube channel content
o Maintaining website - who should do? How frequently?
o Review decisions from January - are things working?;
o What are our plans for the next year?
o Time for working group to plan out remainder of the year and/or work on projects
Could you let me know if you are still able (or are now able) to attend so that Lin and I have rough numbers?
Also - attached are the November and May minutes. Thanks to Lin for doing those.
I'm only working a half day today (first day back after a nasty case of bronchitis brought me to my knees), and I'm catching the early flight to Vancouver tomorrow morning for the Relais Users Group meeting, so responses may be delayed.
Thanks,
Brenda
Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late response. I thought I had sent this last week, but it was sitting there in my Drafts folder. Sigh.
Based on the Doodle poll results, the BCOEL Steering committee meeting will be on Wednesday, June 12th at BCIT's Downtown Campus (555 Seymour Street, Vancouver). The meeting will be from 9am to noon. We will not be providing refreshments due to budget issues, so please be sure to bring coffee/morning snack if so desired. We'll build in a longer coffee break in the agenda to give us time to go downstairs and get required caffeine.

o Review decisions from January - are things working?;
o What are our plans for the next year?
o Time for working group to plan out remainder of the year and/or work on projects
Is there anything else that you think we should do during this time to make it productive?
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Brenda
Hi everyone,
At the BCOEL Steering committee meeting today, we decided to try and do the June in person that was discussed at the Cascadia lunch as a half day meeting on either Monday, June 11 or Wednesday, June 13. (As the main "out of town" person, I'll be in Vancouver for a meeting on the 12th). Please fill out the poll to see which of these dates work best for you. If neither of them work, please let me know.
Doodle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/rxh3pu3hrpaum6nq
So far, we know that we want to talk about/work on the following:
o Youtube channel content
o Maintaining website - who should do? How frequently?
o Review decisions from January - are things working?;
o What are our plans for the next year?
o Time for working group to plan out remainder of the year and/or work on projects
Is there anything else that you think we should do during this time to make it productive?
Thanks,

Hello, all.
I sorted out the account verification and uploaded the Open But Not Free event video to the BCOEL Youtube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYkjalQZNtja3MWuOnoMuNg
Please point me in the direction of anything else BCOER/BCOEL has done and I'll add those videos. And perhaps subscribe if you do that kind of thing: I think we have some more customisation options available if the channel has 100+ subscribers (which may be overly optimistic looking at the subscriber numbers for a few other related channels - Bccampus has 38...).
As I recall, the primary reasons for having this channel was to make event videos more widely available and possibly use the streaming functionality at future events. If we meet in June we can discuss if there is anything else we might do.
