I received this request from an instructor. Any assistance would be appreciated. "Open source question banks: since creating questions is time consuming, I have been looking for some open source Calculus canvas question banks that I could just import into my course and modify as needed. I have looked at OpenStax and in the Canvas Commons but I haven’t found anything particularly useful yet nor a way to import a canvas quiz question bank from any of these sources. Do you have any suggestions for me regarding this?" Heather M. Ross, BA BEd MEd Educational Development Specialist University of Saskatchewan Gwenna Moss Centre for Teaching and Learning Ph: 306-966-5327<tel:306-966-5327> Find open textbooks and other open educational resources on: http://open.usask.ca<http://open.usask.ca/>

OER Lab at Ontario Tech - Webinar (Sept 8 12 PM ET, 9 AM PT)

by Lillian Hogendoorn

Hi folks, Each month the Ontario Open Library Network hosts a webinar on a topic related to Open Education. While these generally feature topics of interest to Ontario educators or Ontario-based OER projects, we welcome attendees from anywhere, so long as they are interested in learning more about open. This month’s webinar is quite special because we’re featuring the students who run the Ontario Tech U OER Lab. The OER Lab is a student-run, staff-managed service point for faculty interested in OER work. These students get a great job, some experiential learning, and the chance to make change around curricular resources on campus. Supporting Open Work: The OER Lab at Ontario Tech University Across Ontario, colleges and universities are finding unique ways to support the creation of high quality open resources. Join us this month to take a closer look at Ontario Tech's OER Lab- a student-run, staff-managed group that brings content and technological expertise to the timely creation of high quality OER that will be used directly in an Ontario Tech undergraduate course by Ontario Tech students. Hear from Sarah Stokes, Faculty Development Officer in the Teaching and Learning Centre and OER Lab co-manager, and from the students who work in the lab. Sep 8, 2020 12:00 PM ET Register: https://ecampusontario.zoom.us/webinar/register/8515971796482/WN_mDU2V2OoSH… Hope to see some of you there! Lillian // Lillian Hogendoorn, M.I.

Tomorrow's Canada OER Agenda

by Amanda Coolidge

Hello! For those able to join us tomorrow for the Canada OER meeting, I have started an agenda on the google doc (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KuWFCekNe2iKjS4mY5DGzy2KsgMdXidfWtkkSIi… ) – as you can see I have some larger questions I would like to ask the group to identify what our future goals should be and how we move things forward. In addition, if you feel comfortable, I thought we could assist each other in “open”-related challenges we are facing. At the end of meeting, for those who want to stay on, I will divide us into small groups and you can present your challenge to you small group. The small group will then make suggestions, ask coaching questions, and help you identify how to handle the next steps in your challenge. Looking forward to chatting with you all!
