Hi,
The best day for our next meeting for most people is Oct. 18th at 1:00 PM. I'm going to play around with Blue Jeans and see if it works better than Skype. I'll contact everyone closer to that date.
On another note, Amanda Coolidge received an email from a grad student in the Information Science program at the University of North Carolina. She said she is writing her masters paper on creating an Open Textbook Rubric for Librarians and Amanda sent her the Rubric that the BCOEL have on our website but she said it was a good starting point but a bit different from what she's looking for. She wants to know if we have any other information or know of studies that analyze librarian's opinions of Open Access. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions I could pass on?
Thanks,
Debra

Hi, all.
See attached. Let me know if I missed anything.
I have also added a brief step by step for copying/pasting content from the OK OER libguide (might have to add details). Sadly, I have not done anymore since figuring out the step by step.

Hello, all.
Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable summer.
I finally took some time to try a cut and paste job from the Oklahoma OER libguide to the mediawiki:
http://guides.ou.edu/OER/historyhttps://mediawiki.bccampus.ca/index.php/HistoryOERR
After re-acquainting myself with the syntax I would say it will be an easy enough transfer, but will require some editing and selection. Some items are outdated and others just point to generic sources like Merlot and so forth. I didn't bother with every hyperlink on each resource description I copied - just the title and CC license links. Still a few items that should be added to this history section, but hopefully you get the idea.
Finally, since this is an adaption of a CC BY-SA work, I included an attribution statement and license information at the bottom of the page.
Looks like we have a meeting coming up sometime in September, so perhaps more discussion on this then? In the meantime, I'll try to carve out some time to tackle more now that I know what is entailed.

Dear Colleagues,
On Monday, August 28th Will Engle and I offered a workshop targeted at library staff in BC to share about the Wikipedia edit-a-thon 2016 and talk about the Science Literacy Week Wikipedia edit-a-thon on Sept 18th 2017. Will gave a brief overview of Wikipedia’s history, applications in higher education assignments and some of the practicalities of how to edit Wikipedia. Lucas Wright from BCcampus organized the event and convened the session. If you are interested, a recording is here and it includes the chat with lots of great discussion too (see the right-hand side under the purple tab):

Please feel free to share with interested colleagues.
We are interested in collaborating with other institutions too. Please contact me if you have interest in participating either at your home institution, or by join us in-person at one of the participating colleges or universities!
Cheers,

Subject: FW: [Bcoelsteering] Join the Wikiedithon for Science Literacy Week Sept.18 -24?
Dear Colleagues,
As you may know, National Science Literacy Week<http://scienceliteracy.ca/about/> is Sept 18-24, 2017. Libraries, museums, schools and community science groups will be celebrating Canadian science and scientists through a number of events. One of the events to start things off will be libraries at BCIT, Douglas College, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia and perhaps others…. will be hosting Wikipedia edit-a-thons starting on September 18th.
A Wikipedia edit-a-thon is an event where new and experienced writers and editors come together to make edits, add citations and create new content in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is everywhere. Google searches bring up Wikipedia articles often as the first result; and Wikipedia is a reference source frequently used by students and the public. Learning about how to edit and add content to Wikipedia provides many relevant learning experiences for students, staff and researchers covering areas as varied as open access, scholarly communication, copyright, construction of information, evaluation and situating information in context, wikis, peer-review, and more. Wikipedia edit-a-thons offer a practical, hands-on experience of writing and collaborating on research. It is also a way to engage faculty in thinking about the potential value of Wikipedia for creating learning activities in their courses.
Last year, BCIT Library, SFU Library & UBC Library partnered on a Wikipedia edit-athon for Science Literacy Week. Our theme was local women and science. Here was our meetup page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Vancouver/LocalWomeninScienc… and a research guide we created to advertise the event: http://guides.library.ubc.ca/scilit16/wiki It was a fun event and we learned a few things.
This year our theme is more broadly Canadian science and scientists. We are also expanding the partnership with Kwantlen Polytechnic University Library, Douglas College Library, BCCampus and possibly others.
For more information and to read how you can participate, please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/BC/SciLit17. Interested in learning more or holding an edit-a-thon at your campus? BCcampus will also be hosting an informational webinar with some of the organizers on August 28th. Join us from 10-11 am to learn more about the event and how to participate. We would like to extend a warm invitation to you and your library to join the event!
If no edit-a-thons are happening on your own campus, you’re more than welcome to join us at Woodward Library at UBC on September 18th for the edit-a-thon and I’m sure other institutions would feel the same. It could be a great opportunity to work with a faculty member and explore another campus.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
Katherine

Hi All,
First, as a brief correction, the edit-athon has been a partnership with UBC Library, SFU, and BCIT for two years and mainly has been the brain child of Katherine Miller from Woodward Library - UBC with the help of myself and Will Engle from CTLT. The credit for planning really should fall with Katherine Miller and the other libraries involved. However, we are really thankful for the support from BCcampus this year.
As for the subject material, last year there was a focus on Canadian female scientists at your institution. I believe this year it is more broadly about Canadian scientific activity/invention/ or scientists generally. It is best to keep a broad theme so people will connect with an area of interest.
Best,
Erin

Hi Shawnna,
My very sincere apologies for missing your email last month - I thought I had responded, but see I just responded in my mind ... ugh.
Anyway, the BCRLG Speaker Series committee is still active, although our focus in the past year or so has been to provide support in recording/streaming speakers that are visiting BC for other events in order to widen the reach of the event. We are currently on a bit of a summer break, but will be re-convening when folks are back from vacations, etc.
We're quite interested in partnering with other groups and would be very happy to discuss possible co-programming when we get started up again in the fall. If the BC OER steering group has any events in the works or ideas for future programming collaborations, please do sent them to our group. You can send information my way and I will pass it on to the rest of the committee.
I'm away for a few weeks, but let me know if you'd like to touch base later this month.
Cheers,
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,
Mark Bodnar gave me your name, suggesting you may be more up on the current status of the BCRLG. I’m writing on behalf of the BC OER steering group from BC Campus – we’re exploring the notion of doing some shared programming with another pro-d group but weren’t sure if BCRLG is still active. Apologies if not and/or you are no longer on the group ;-) As far as you know – is the group still going? Who’s the main contact?
Cheers and thanks!

Hello,
Just a reminder of our meeting on Monday at BCIT downtown. There will be light breakfast at 8:30 and the meeting will start at 9 AM.
Classroom 400
555 Seymour Street
http://www.bcit.ca/about/downtown.shtml
Please think about what activities you would be interested in doing in the afternoon. I think Caroline mentioned something about creative commons licenses - perhaps look at tools?

Hello,
Lin needs to place the catering order by this Friday so we need to know how many people can make it that day and whether you have any dietary requirements.
Also, we roughly laid out a plan that we would do business in the morning and a project in the afternoon. So as to not waste any time on the day, we should come up with more details on what we are doing. Please share your thoughts and ideas.

Hi, all.
Attached are the powerpoint slides from the BCLA session on OER in both pptx format and open document format.
I finally tried uploading the file to the library toolshed, but apparently I have triggered the spam filter, so I will have to wait until that is resolved. It is supposed to live here:
https://librarytoolshed.ca/content/collaborative-effort-institutional-oer-i…
Note the CC license on the first slide. I believe we once briefly discussed preparing a stock statement that could be applied to any of the original work we complete/undertake. All the statement really needs added is the home URL of whatever content we are licensing. Not sure if we want to designate a BCOEL home location for this file and future content?

Hi everyone,
I've had an instructor here contact me about Top Hat. What do you think? Do you guys know anyone using it? Pros? Cons? I saw what Amy Hofer from Open Oregon wrote about it, but was wondering if you guys knew anything.
Amy's concerns were that students lose access to the platform and the data in the platform can't be exported, so any custom versions of open textbooks/question banks/etc. can't be used elsewhere. And the Top Hat content is under copyright even though it can be modified within the platform itself.
Thanks,
Brenda
Hello,
At the Open Textbook Summit we discussed getting together for a full day in June to do business in the morning and project work in the afternoon. We are tentatively planning to meet downtown at BCIT. Here's the Doodle to find a day that will work for the majority - http://doodle.com/poll/4uv7p9rewumenk6h

Hi there everyone,
Apologies for the very short notice on informing you of the following...
So, we had agreed as a group that we would meet for lunch during the OT
Summit. We only needed a room or a space where we could get together.
So... Christy did a great job and got us a place:
We have booked room 101
https://www.sfu.ca/mecs/facilities/harbour-centre/meeting-rooms/boardrooms.…
on Day 1 of the Summit from 12 - 2pm...
So, the plan is for us to grab our lunch food and move to this room for
a lunch meeting. The only thing we are asked to do is to bring our lunch
remains to the garbage and leave the room as tidy as possible.
So, see you all there tomorrow.
Cheers,
Rosario

Sorry – I fired that off prematurely. But I think I covered most of what I intended…
Thanks again.

Thanks, Erin.
I have passed along the link to the article
And I have directed math/science folks to the UBC wiki, but while freely available, most of the content I have spot checked does not carry open licenses. The general copyright information here:
http://wiki.ubc.ca/UBC_Wiki:General_disclaimer
I have little doubt most contributors would assign an CC license if asked, and in some places it seems like license clarification is a work in progress:

At UBC the graduate students in mathematics, several years ago, put together an open database of problem sets and answers in the UBC Wiki: http://wiki.ubc.ca/Science:Math_Exam_Resources
It’s an amazing resource that has replaced most text content in courses. There is a full list of all the courses that currently are using this tool.
Additionally, there has been a lot of development in our Math department on developing open texts . The full list can be found here with linked examples (Look at: Appendix: Sample of Open Textbooks Used at UBC): http://open.ubc.ca/open-ubc-snapshots-textbook-displacements-by-open-resour…
Best,
Erin

Hi Martin,
Petra Menz from MATH at SFU here has recently been funded for a project through our OER grants program. It's still in early stages, but here's her contact info if your UFV faculty contact is interested in reaching out to her: https://www.sfu.ca/math/people/faculty/petra_menz.html
And here's some info about her proposed project:
"Petra Menz’s project aims to find, adapt and adopt OER materials and integrate them into existing course materials for MATH 157 and MATH 158. This includes the amalgamation of course content and study skills exercises, development of online assignments, and interactive practice problem assignments. These developments will offer social calculus students three types of high-quality assessment along with cost-free course content that weaves the learning of reading and studying skills into the material in order to enhance their mathematical learning experience."
Cheers, Hope

Hi Martin,
I sent our an email to our math faculty that use an open textbook and I’ll let you know if any of them show any interest. However, Rajiv had someone looking for a partner. Here’s Rajiv’s email:
Hello everyone,
I recently met with a faculty member at Carleton U who is interested in developing OER and wants to connect with others in his field who already have.
Do any of you know of any Math faculty on your campuses involved in OER adoption who would be willing to connect with him? His name is Kevin Cheung and his email address is KEVINCHEUNG(a)CUNET.CARLETON.CA<mailto:KEVINCHEUNG@CUNET.CARLETON.CA>
Many thanks,
Rajiv

Hi, all.
There is a UFV math faculty member very interested in completing an open textbook on calculus he started a couple of years ago. We’ve had a few conversations in the past, but he has had time constraints, as well as some uncertainties around recombining open licensed content that I haven’t quite been able to alleviate yet. He also has a different pedagogical approach in mind, and one that he apparently cannot easily work into the existing BC Campus calculus texts. The details escape me, but it made a lot of sense to me as someone who never responded well to traditional approaches of teaching math.
So quite some time after starting and outlining from scratch, he has realised it will be more efficient to complete by incorporating existing content. And I now get the impression he is looking for some collaboration opportunities with others who have specifically worked with open math content.
Do any of you know of anyone actively using and revising math content?
Many thanks.
