Dear colleagues,
On June 25, 2021, we are migrating the B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/> to new, more secure servers. We plan for the disruption to be minimal, but the collection may be unavailable between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. Pacific time.
If anyone needs urgent access to a book in the collection while the collection is unavailable, please email opentext(a)bccampus.ca with the name of the book and we will get you a copy.
Sincerely,
The BCcampus Open Education Team

Dear all,
I’m writing on behalf of faculty member Shereen Hassan at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. Dr. Hassan is looking for a contributor to author a chapter in a much-anticipated, Canada-focused, Introduction to Criminology openly-licensed textbook. The chapter that requires an author is:
1. Media and Crime
2.
Please see Dr. Hassan’s letter below and circulate this Call for Authors widely. This is a paid opportunity and would come with a $500 honorarium.
If interested, or you would like more please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca by Wednesday, July 7, 2021.

I hope that this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Shereen Hassan and I am an SFU criminology alumni. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Simon Verdun-Jones in 2010. I am now a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Criminology department and have been here for almost 17 years.
I am reaching out about an opportunity to contribute to an Open Education Resource for the Introduction to Criminology course. This text will be the first of its kind in Canadian Criminology and is unique as it seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and content in a way that Criminology texts to date have failed to do. There are authors from several universities, including Simon Fraser University, the University of the Fraser Valley, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, the University of Winnipeg, as well as other institutions in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort!
I am still looking for authors in the area of Media and Crime.
We are flexible on deadlines, and we are hoping to have a draft by the end of summer. This text is an introductory text, so the idea here is to provide a brief overview, but to also address how theories and principles in this area of research relate to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, and/or Indigenous issues in some way, wherever possible. We have asked authors to keep the chapters short (approximately 4000 words) or as close to that as possible.
It would be a wonderful honour to have you contribute to this important project.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
All the best,
Shereen Hassan, PhD
Criminology Faculty
Kwantlen Polytechnic University

The CARL Open Education Working Group<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…> invites you to the sixth call in this series of informal gatherings for individuals involved in open education (OE) in Canada (faculty, instructors, librarians, students, instructional designers, etc.).
This month, we are bringing the Canadian open education community together for a discussion on Accessibility in Open Education.
Calls in this series take place on the third Wednesday of most months. While this month’s discussion will be primarily in English, bilingual moderators will be on hand to help ensure participants are able to contribute in the official language of their choice. We will be taking a 2-month summer break, resuming #OECCCC calls in September.
Settle in with your beverage of choice and prepare for some coast-to-coast sharing and networking.
If you can’t attend this meeting but would like to know about future OE CCCC events (and receive other Canadian OE news), please email Lauri Aesoph (lauri.aesoph(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:lauri.aesoph@bccampus.ca>) and ask to be added to the CanadaOER listserv.

Dear colleagues,
BCcampus recently received notice of an opportunity to collaborate with Wiki Education in the Fall 2021 term. Below is the modified text from a message that we received about this opportunity.
The deadline to run a Wikipedia assignment in Fall 2021 is rapidly approaching! To run a Wikipedia assignment this Fall, submit your application by June 20. Wiki Education's support is fully funded, and there are no fees to run a Wikipedia assignment.
The reasons to run a Wikipedia assignment are myriad, but here are some reflections that capture the essence of the project:
"Although many students admitted they had first felt intimidated by the thought of their work being ‘out there’ on the internet, they all commented on the huge sense of achievement they felt seeing their articles published on Wikipedia at the end of semester and how contributing to global knowledge was incredibly fulfilling."
—Professor Victoria Austin, University of Winnipeg
"One of the things I loved about this project was the idea of being able to improve something on a public platform and offer substantive research that could be helpful to someone who might not have access to the same resources we are so lucky to have as students at the University of Michigan."
—Aja Brandmeier, Student, University of Michigan
To apply for a spot in the program, follow these steps:
1. Create an account at dashboard.wikiedu.org<https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/>.
2. Go through Wiki Education's Orientation for New Instructors<https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/instructors/new-instructor-orientati…>. You'll be prompted to do this once you create an account.
3. After you complete the orientation, you'll be asked to launch the Assignment Design Wizard. Go through the wizard to create your course page. Your course page will be the central hub for your Wikipedia assignment, and it's how you receive support from Wiki Education. When you're ready, submit the course page, and your application will be complete!
We will notify you by July 16 if we are able to offer you a spot for the Fall 2021 term. Applications submitted after June 20 will only be considered if space allows.
For more information, contact Helaine Blumenthal at helaine(a)wikiedu.org<mailto:helaine@wikiedu.org>.
