Good afternoon, all
Hope you are enjoying this bright, sunshine day! It was very frosty this morning but the blue skies are such a treat!
I've attached the meeting agenda for our upcoming meeting on December 9th (our last for 2024!), and as always please share any updates, edits, or suggestions.
Also...it's only taken me about 3 months, but I have finally figured out how to share agenda as a Word file within the Teams chat itself! Celebrate the small wins!
Thanks all in advance and hope to see you next Monday!
Best,
Liz

Hi All,
I am assuming our meeting next week will be cancelled with the stat for Truth and Reconciliation Day? With that in mind, here is the link and information for an event I'm hosting for Open Access Week at the end of October:
Defining & Finding Open Educational Resources
Wednesday, October 23
12- 12:45pm, Online
Events page: https://vccca.libcal.com/event/3830633
It will be very introductory but if you have any people or spaces that are very new to OERs, feel free to pass it along!
Best,

Hi everyone,
Hope your summer is going well!
I finally had some time to take McKenzie’s spreadsheet of the different OER funding opportunities available at each institution and put them into a webpage.
Before I go ahead and make it public (and send it out to the wider listserv to add their funding), I wanted to give the steering committee the opportunity to provide feedback and to double-check that I’ve accurately described what you offer.

Good afternoon, BCEOL
Hope you've all had a terrific summer and are enjoying these swansong days of extended sunshine!
Attached is the September 9th meeting agenda - any updates or discussion points please let me know and I will add them in. Previous Minutes can be found on the Meeting Minutes<https://bcoel.ca/the-bcoel-steering-committee/steering-committee-minutes/> site.
Small note - I'll be away for this meeting (eating feta and swimming everyday in Greece!) so Amanda will be leading the meeting, thank you! I've coordinated with my colleagues to start the Teams meeting in my absence as well, so hoping for no unexpected tech issues.
