Hello Everyone,
In case you haven't see this yet, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives just published a new [ https://www.policyalternatives.ca/publications/reports/case-renewal-post-se… | report ] entitled "The Case for Renewal in Post-Secondary Education". The article cites tuition costs for students, useful information when talking about open education, OER, and open textbooks.
Regards,
Lauri

Hi Everyone,
As part of the reporting to Ministry (due Mar 31) we are conducting an
environmental scan (global, national and provincial).
Michelle (librarian at UofA) has a shared document here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZMazqdFHGGtxVUgxEEOT5EYvcuS_VOWSpawrZy5…>
where she and the CoP have been collaboratively collecting information.
If you have any *information you can share regarding open education in your
province*, we would be so thankful for your input! Please feel welcome to
paste the information in this document
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZMazqdFHGGtxVUgxEEOT5EYvcuS_VOWSpawrZy5…>,
or, contact Michelle directly at brailey(a)ualberta.ca (or me!).
Thanks so much.

Hello Everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that BCcampus has added the final chapters of OpenStax' College Physics to Pressbooks, and that both the Pressbooks and WordPress XML files of the entire book have been uploaded to the [ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=c0cd5405-a301-4940-ab3a-… | BC Open Textbook Collection ] . I will notify all BC faculty, on record, who have adopted this textbook about this latest development.
I'd also like to offer a hearty thank you to our open education support, Joey Ma who, along with Brendan Lane, were the driving force behind this long project. Without Joey's tenacity, this task would not have been completed. Thank you Joey!
This news has been updated in our [ https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/ | Pressbooks Guide ] in the section describing our [ https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/chapter/why/ | ongoing work adding OpenStax books to Pressbooks ] .
Regards,
