Hello everyone,
Please find the agenda for Monday’s meeting attached, as well as the minutes from our last meeting. If you have any edits or additions, please let me know!
At the October 18 meeting, Kaitlyn Zheng from BCcampus will describe and demonstrate a new resource in development designed to assist faculty locate open textbooks for their courses. Using open textbooks that have been previously or are currently being used by post-secondary instructors in B.C. as a primary educational resource in a course, the new "Open Textbooks for Courses Finder" matches these textbooks to transferable courses using the BC Transfer Guide. Both primary and transferable courses are identified by course codes for precise and easy searching.
All the best,
Donna

Hi All,
We have a number of great events coming up that are open to anyone interested:
<https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/event/3623290>
Open Access Week
Sessions include:
<https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/event/3623290>
Indigenous Knowledges and Open Education Symposium
Date: Friday, October 22, 2021
Time:10:00am - 1:00pm
On October 22, 2021, the Open Education Working Group invites you to join us for the inaugural Open Education and Indigenous Knowledges Symposium to learn about and discuss the intersections between open education and Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing. Many conversations around open education (OE) focus on a Eurocentric framework of copyright and intellectual property rights that are sometimes in tension with Indigenous knowledge systems. The goal of the Open Education and Indigenous Knowledges Symposium is to centre Indigenous ways of knowing, culture, experiences, and worldviews within our OE advocacy work.

Open Scholarship in Practice
The week-long event offers a series of webinars, workshops, and presentations exploring the practice of open scholarship — from new tools that can increase the reproducibility of research, to new pedagogies that become possible when students and faculty members become co-creators engaged in meaningful, generative knowledge creation.<https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/calendar/vancouver?cid=7544&t=g&d=0000-00-00&…>

Publishing In the Open: A Discussion on Open Access in Canada
Date: Tuesday, November 2, 2021
Time: 11:00am - 12:00pm
Open access publishing is a rapidly expanding and evolving strategy for making scholarly work globally accessible. Unlike the traditional scholarly publishing model under which publishers require institutions or individuals to pay for access to these materials, open access provides a model for freely available research outputs to the general public for viewing, and often for reuse.
There is a great deal of activity in Canada that has advanced open access nationally, including publishing bodies and initiatives, and national granting opportunities and requirements. This event will explore opportunities and challenges from the perspective of two significant open access publishing initiatives, the University of Calgary Press and Coalition Publica.
You are invited to join a panel discussion with Brian Scrivener (University of Calgary Press) and Jessica Clark (Coalition Publica) that will address advancements and setbacks for open access publishing in Canada.

Past, Present, and Future: A Conversation on Open Access with Leslie Chan
Date: Thursday, November 4, 2021
Time: 10:00am - 11:00am
As one of the original signatories to the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), Leslie Chan has been at the forefront of the open access movement for 20 years. At the time of signing, the BOAI offered a hopeful vision for the future of scholarly communication in which scholars would use the internet to take back the means of academic production and provide free, unrestricted access to scholarly outputs.
In the years since the BOAI, open access has made a significant impact on the publishing landscape, yet many of the inequities, monopolies, and incentive structures that existed 20 years ago are still in place. For open access advocates seeking to upend traditional modes of academic publishing, it is imperative that we take a critical look at the trajectory of the open access movement and reflect on its successes and missed opportunities.
Join UBC Library and the Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology for a conversation with Leslie Chan to discuss the history of the open access movement from BOAI to today and what steps we can take in the future to work towards the original promise of an equitable, scholar-led communication and research landscape.

Hello all,
Wow, talk about going out with a bang - for some reason, I thought our next BCOEL meeting was scheduled for next week, but I just checked my Outlook calendar and it's today at 1pm(!) Hence the absence of a call for agenda items. My sincere apologies for the oversight.
If you're able to join us at 1pm, here is the link to the Zoom meeting<https://langara.zoom.us/j/67255132006?pwd=Q2w2cDRxS0syZzExL2NCZm1SVjBrZz09>.
I've attached the draft agenda. Please feel free to add any additional items at the start of the meeting or incorporate them into the roundtable discussion.
Please also find the minutes for our May meeting attached for your review. As always, thanks to Donna for recording these!
Hope to see you all soon,
Lindsay

Dear BCOEL Steering Committee,
Yesterday, the bcoel.ca website was moved to a new server as part of a larger network migration at SFU. (BCcampus websites are hosted by SFU.) Initial testing shows that the BCOEL website is working as expected.
If you or any of your members or users have a problem with the website, please report it to BCcampus IT Support at support(a)bccampus.ca.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had advice on transition mathematical graphs/images from JPGs/PNGS to accessible formats in Pressbooks. For example here: https://www.ohio.edu/mechanical/thermo/Intro/Chapt.1_6/Chapter3a.html
Is there a program integration you use for these complex images?
Best,
Erin

Dear BCOEL community,
Please join us on Thursday, May 27 from 11am-12pm for a conversation about how B.C. colleges and universities are supporting Pressbooks. Speakers from three post-secondary institutions (BCIT, Kwantlen, and UBC) will share some of the successes and challenges they've experienced. We'll leave ample time for Q&A/casual discussion.
Pressbooks is an open source book production platform based on WordPress. Our open education partner, BCcampus, hosts an instance of Pressbooks and offers staff and educators from post-secondary institutions in B.C. and the Yukon a free account<https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/>.
This is an informal session for information sharing and no registration is required (Zoom details provided below). We hope to see many of you there!
Many thanks,
Lindsay Tripp
(on behalf of the BCOEL Steering Committee)

Hi everyone,
I have a some quick question about PD. Please don’t spend too much time on your responses – I just want to know what you do and think about professional development around open education
What do you do for your PD?
What would you recommend for PD (and would it be broken down to “new comers” vs. librarians who have been working in this field for a number of years)?
Where, if any, is the line between PD and your job in open education?
I will appreciate all responses, no matter how brief.
Thanks,
Debra
P.S. See you virtually at Cascadia

Hi all,
A colleague put me in touch yesterday with a CAUT representative seeking an interview for a short feature article about "open access and open educational resources, and in particular how the pandemic and remote learning have impacted the debate around these and related issues, including academic freedom." I'm wondering if anyone else from our BCOEL steering committee might be interested and available to join me for this brief interview (20-30 min. via Zoom) this week, or possibly early next week? If so, let me know - and thanks for considering!
Much appreciated, Hope

Hello all,
Nice to see many of you at today's meeting 🙂 As I mentioned, Darcye has expressed interest in the Chair-Elect position. (Thanks, Darcye!) I welcome any other expressions of interest between now and our May 17th meeting (please email me off-list at ltripp(a)langara.ca.) If more than one person is interested, I can arrange a vote. If not, Darcye will be appointed by acclamation.
The Chair-Elect position is a two-year commitment (one year as Chair-Elect and one year as Chair). The term follows the academic year (September 1 to August 31). The Chair-Elect's primary duties are recording minutes and running meetings in the Chair's absence -- as Donna had to do today when I joined our call late (THANK YOU!) 😮
Thanks!

Hi all,
As discussed at our last meeting, Amanda kindly agreed to re-create the Faculty Guide for Evaluating Open Education Resources<https://open.bccampus.ca/files/2014/07/Faculty-Guide-22-Apr-15.pdf> (2015) in a more accessible format. She's done an incredible job and you'll find both a handout and slide deck attached in multiple formats (handout = .docx, .odt, .pdf; slidedeck = .pptx, .odp, .pdf). I've added this to next Monday's agenda; if you could review the documents before then it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again to Amanda for her work on this!

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
