Reminder: Edit-a-Thon Invitation - Open Education Leadership Essentials Materials // Invitation à un Édit-a-thon – Matériel des principes fondamentaux du leadership sur l’éducation ouverte

by Stephanie L. Quail

Bilingual message // Message bilingue In January 2020, the CARL Open Education Working Group (OEWG)<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…> held a two-day in-person Open Education Leadership Essentials training event<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/mini-site-page/oele2020/>. This event brought together academic librarians from across Canada and gave them the opportunity to build their open education leadership skills. The OEWG has taken the materials from this in-person event and created the Open Education Leadership Essentials Workshop-in-a-Box (OeLE WIAB). These materials will eventually be released under a Creative Commons licence. This will allow members of the open education community to use the OeLE WIAB resources to run similar in-person or online training events. On April 20, 2022 from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm EDT, the OEWG will hold an Edit-a-thon to provide individuals outside of the CARL OEWG with the opportunity to review and help improve the draft English-language version of the OeLE WIAB. Once the draft English materials are finalized, they will be translated into French. Please join us for this interactive event. We would love to have open education enthusiasts from across Canada review the materials and help us improve the content. Important information: * Participants will be assigned a specific section to review. * You will be asked to do 2 to 3 hours of pre-work before the event starts (i.e. review your assigned section and fill out a rubric) * Participants will receive a credit in the OEWG WIAB materials as a peer reviewer and a certificate of completion Register for the event now!<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkce-uqD8sHNARJpQUfzFuWgr0gQTzO3…> Please fill out this Google Form to indicate what content you would prefer to review: OeLE WIAB Edit-a-thon (google form)<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdBYAoozbjEnra_2kl7UCvyKrcCrr3NVUG…>.

Cette activité a rassemblé des bibliothécaires universitaires de partout au Canada et leur a donné l’occasion d’affiner leurs aptitudes de leadership en matière d’éducation ouverte. Le GTEO s’est servi du matériel développé lors de l’activité en personne pour créer l’Atelier en boîte Principes fondamentaux du leadership en éducation ouverte. Le matériel sera éventuellement publié sous licence Creative Commons. Cela permettra aux membres de la communauté de l’éducation ouverte d’utiliser les ressources de l’Atelier en boîte pour tenir des activités de formation similaires en personne et en ligne. Le 20 avril 2022 de 13 h à 15 h 30 HAE, le GTEO tiendra un Édit-a-thon pour permettre aux non-membres du GTEO de l’ABRC de réviser et d’améliorer l’ébauche de la version anglaise de l’Atelier en boîte. Une fois le matériel anglais finalisé, il sera traduit en français. Joignez-vous à nous pour cet évènement interactif. Nous aimerions que les personnes passionnées d’éducation ouverte de partout au Canada révisent le matériel et nous aident à en améliorer le contenu. Renseignements importants : * Les personnes participantes se verront assigner une section spécifique à réviser. * Vous aurez de 2 à 3 heures de travail préparatoire à faire avant le début de l’évènement (c.-à-d. revoir la section qui vous a été assignée et remplir une rubrique). * Vous recevrez le crédit dans le matériel de l’Atelier en boîte comme évaluateur ou évaluatrice ainsi qu’un certificat d’achèvement.

Project for Creation of Diverse Human Anatomy and Physiology Multimedia OER

by Sarah Adams

Hello all, An instructor at my institution is interested to beginning a project (or collaborating on an existing one) to work with student artists and actors in order to create a range of human anatomy multimedia resources that are more representative of both anatomical diversity and the diversity of folks teaching and learning in anatomy and physiology. This would include, but isn't limited to, ensuring a diversity of skin tones and body types in anatomical drawings and videos, as well as diversifying them to include sexual and ethnic diversity. If anyone is already engaged in this type of work, or has any resources to suggest, I would love to hear from them! Thanks in advance, Sarah _____________________________________________ Sarah Adams | MISt | she/her/hers Open Education Librarian Libraries and Cultural Resources | University of Calgary sarah.adams1(a)ucalgary.ca<mailto:sarah.adams1@ucalgary.ca> 403-220-8360 I gratefully acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta.

OER in Genetics

by Ross, Heather

Hello, One of our professors in Biology is looking for OER to use in his Genetics course. The outcomes are below. I would appreciate any suggestions. By the completion of this course, it is expected that students will be able to: 1. Describe Mendel’s first and second law of genetics and identify how they relate to cytogenetics. 2. Predict the outcome of crosses and to carry out pedigree analysis. 3. Outline the principles of recombination and to map genes on chromosomes. 4. Recognize how expression of genetic information is related to phenotype 5. Describe how alleles behave in populations and identify the processes that contribute to evolutionary change. Heather M.

Invite: K-12 study

by Peggy Lynn MacIsaac

Hi there, I'm posting this for a friend. Please circulate as appropriate. Go well, Peggy Lynn MacIsaac, MLIS, EdD (pronouns: none/she/her) plm2030(a)gmail.com <macisaac(a)athabascau.ca> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN A STUDY ABOUT THE USE OER DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC Dear Teachers, My name is Viviane Vladimirschi and I have a Doctorate in Education with a specialization in Distance Education and Open Education. I have been working as a consultant, researcher and instructional designer in this area since 2002. I am conducting a study for the Open University of England (OUK) that aims to explore the many challenges that K-12 teachers faced when using emergency remote learning during the pandemic period and if, at all, and in which ways you have made use of Open Educational Resources (OER) or Open Educational Practices (OEP) in your pedagogical practices during this period. The criteria to participate in this study is that you teach K-12 and have familiarity with the use of OER. The study will take place over 6 months. During this period, you will be invited to participate in a 45-to-60-minute online interview individually. After this initial interview, you will be invited to participate in an online workshop so that I can validate the data collected and analyzed during the online interview. The risks associated with participating in this study are negligible and participation is voluntary. Data containing comments regarding participation in the online interview and online workshop will not include information capable of identifying participants, and names will be replaced by pseudonyms. The benefits are your contribution to a better understanding of what obstacles were present during this pandemic period, how these obstacles were overcome, and whether the use of OER supported your professional practice. This study will help inform new sharing policies or practices in times of crisis, which is significant for the teaching practices of K-12 teachers in Canada and for the profession as a whole. I deeply appreciate your collaboration and I ask that you respond to this email by March 18, indicating your participation or not in this study and indicating your preferred day and time to conduct the online interview. As soon as I receive a response from you, I will send you the Informed Consensus form. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me at any time. Thank you. Kind Regards, Viviane vvladimirschi(a)gmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------

Announcing the Professional Program in Open Education

by Rajiv Jhangiani

Happy Open Education Week everyone! At Kwantlen Polytechnic University we are proud to have built world-leading institutional supports for open education, including for our ground-breaking Zero Textbook Cost program<https://www.kpu.ca/open/ztc>, the creation, adaptation, and adoption of open educational resources<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/catalog/openkpu> (including a grant<https://www.kpu.ca/open/grants> and publishing<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> program), and faculty fellowships for open pedagogy<https://www.kpu.ca/open/un-sdg-fellowship> and open education research<https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship>. Today I am thrilled to share that we have developed and are now launching a comprehensive, flexible, and online training program for learners worldwide. Our new Professional Program in Open Education<https://youtu.be/4GShBIbi7PA> is the ideal professional development opportunity for educators, practitioners, technologists, librarians, leaders, policymakers, and others who endeavour to widen equitable access to education. This program is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation for new practitioners as well as to complement and significantly advance the expertise of those already working to support open education. This program is designed to develop expertise and capacity across a broad spectrum of open educational practices, including open educational resources and pedagogies, educational technologies, policy, advocacy, and scholarship. The program balances both theoretical and practical elements, always ensuring that critical perspectives and issues are foregrounded. The program is open to all and does not require institutional membership or sponsorship. Post-secondary institutions, non-profit organizations, government agencies, foundations, GLAM, and other groups seeking to advance the goals of open education may draw on this program to develop their staff expertise and capacity. The program is intentionally designed to include practical elements and provides the opportunity for participants to develop and refine organization-specific tools, policies, and programs. The courses in the Professional Program in Open Education have been developed by globally-recognized experts and are offered through KPU’s Continuing & Professional Studies.
