Hi All,
I am looking for Psychology, 2nd edition, from OpenStax in a format that can be imported into Pressbooks. I didn't see a compatible file type on the OpenStax page, and the BCcampus page states that only the 1st edition is available in Pressbooks format. I was wondering if:
1. Someone has already imported the 2nd edition OR
2. Someone can give me some pointers on what I would need to do to import the 2nd edition content.
Cheers,
Jessica

Hi all,
I was literally just having this conversation with 200 education students this morning who are learning how to create OERs...this is not something I've broached yet (simpler to get them to mix like with like so far!) but if anyone has an example of a statement like this, I'd love to see it, too!
Cheers
Nick

Hi All,
I’m looking for a real-world example of an OER that includes material under Fair Use or Fair Dealing and has a well-written statement to express that the material is open licensed with the exception of the copyrighted portion. I know I’ve seen them in the past but I didn’t save the links and can’t find them now. Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Jessica

Hello Everyone,
As our OER repository is relatively new, we’re still nailing down all of the service components and best practices. One topic that arose recently is the question of applying for ISBNs and or minting DOIs for books created/adapted on our Pressbooks network. One thought, although not the only one in the discussion, is that ISBNs add a legitimacy to an open textbook in the eyes of some faculty members that might encourage creation/adaptation.
Do any of you have apply for ISBNs and/or mint DOIs for the books in your repositories? Or have you had discussions in your own communities about this, and would be willing to share your rationales for why you do or do not do one or either? Thanks!
Sincerely,
Cynthia

Good Morning,
I am hoping that someone can point me to a brief guide on using open textbooks from an instructional designer perspective. Covering information such as adding sections of the text to the course and referencing considerations when modifications are made to the work. We have a situation where the instructor does not want to disrupt the flow of the text but needs to distinguish between their words and the sections of the text that they are using. Any advice here would be very helpful.
Thank you kindly,
Tasha Maddison

Good morning everyone.
This is to let you know that the U of S has updated our open site to put more focus on the broader open educational practices. This brings it in line with our shift to funding not only OER, but supporting the integration of open pedagogy across the institution. The new site can still be found at http://open.usask.ca<http://open.usask.ca/>.
