We've been asked to provide our provincial government with a list of past and potential types of ancillary resources to support our OEP initiative. We've done very few so far so I'm not sure of how to figure out the costs. The list I've come up with is below. I would appreciate any guidance and / or resources to help with this request,
Thank you.

Indigenous Open Educational Resources: Respectfully Uplifting Community Voices
May 24, 2022 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Open education is grounded in Western understandings of ownership, protocol, and accessibility. Often open education has a goal of making all knowledges available for all peoples. Within Canadian copyright law is tension with Indigenous knowledges and Indigenous ways of knowing and being. The open education community must carefully consider Indigenous knowledges and self-determination, which are deeply rooted in community-defined ethics and protocols and do not fit into ordinary academic contexts. This session will explore some of the concerns around open educational resources (OER) and Indigenous knowledges while using Indigenous worldviews to better understand how Indigenous knowledges can be respectfully incorporated into OER.

What is the Open Education Leadership Program?
The SPARC Open Education Leadership Program is an intensive, two-semester
professional development program to empower open education advocates with
the knowledge, skills, and connections to lead successful open education
initiatives that benefit students.
-
Participate in an intensive, semester-long online course during the fall
to gain comprehensive knowledge of open education, stakeholder engagement,
and how to design an initiative on campus.
-
Plan and execute a capstone project during the spring that has an impact
on open education locally and that contributes back to the broader movement.
-
Develop a vibrant community of practice among a cohort of peers, and
grow as a leader through mentorship support.
-
Attend the Open Education Conference
<https://openeducationconference.org/> virtually, and receive additional
guidance to make the most of the experience and networking.
Who should apply?
-
Eligible candidates must be employed at a higher education institution,
consortium or related organization in the U.S. or Canada, or at one of
SPARC’s international members. Candidates from SPARC member institutions
will receive special consideration and a tuition discount.
-
The program is open to all academic professionals with open
education-related responsibilities, including library professionals,
instructional designers, project coordinators and related roles. Student
leaders are also welcome to apply.
-
Candidates should be prepared for a significant time commitment (6-8
hours per week for online coursework in the fall, average 5 hours per week
for capstone work in the spring) and have the support of their institution
and/or supervisor to participate.
Tuition
Tuition is inclusive of both semesters, and covers all costs except
attendance at the Open Education Conference (virtual). Institutions are
expected to sponsor tuition on behalf of the accepted applicant, and will
be asked to sign a standard enrollment agreement.
SPARC Member Rate: $1,995 USD / $2,495 CAD
Non-Member Rate: $2,995 USD or $3,995 CAD
SPARC recognizes that all institutions are facing budget pressures due to
COVID-19 and has worked to reduce costs as much as possible. The 2022-23
tuition rates reflect a more than 20% discount over pre-COVID rates.
Tuition discount
SPARC offers tuition discounts to support the participation of candidates
who would increase the diversity of the cohort. Candidates eligible to
apply for tuition discounts include:
-
Candidates who self-identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous or People of
Color)
-
Candidates employed by community colleges
-
Candidates employed by minority-serving institutions
-
Candidates for whom the cost of tuition would be a barrier
How to apply?

Hello All
A new report has been published by Achieving the Dream and SRI Education. This study addresses the urgent need to better understand how the use of OER can support educational equity, particularly in educational settings that serve historically marginalized student populations.
The report identifies five dimensions of open education and culturally responsive teaching:
* Study agency and ownership, or the extent to which the course and positions students as leaders of their learning
* Inclusive content, or how the instructor brings in diverse perspectives and tailors the content to students’ backgrounds
* Collaborative knowledge generation, or how students apply/develop new theories or contribute to “renewable” or generative assignments.
* Critical consciousness, or how the instructor provides students with real-world assignments, decolonizes the curriculum, and addresses power imbalances
* Classroom culture, or how the instructor cultivates strong relationships and an inclusive environment
The study is based on interviews with faculty and administrators, student focus groups, and course observations at eight community colleges, and is a careful examination of teaching practice among committed OER users and technology-oriented faculty members.

Hi all.
A colleague and I are developing a Sustainability Fellowship at USask that will include the fellows:
* Learning about course design using the UN SDGs and open pedagogy
* Creating a resource for other educators on how to integrate the SDGs into their own course design and teaching
* Teaching a class where they will integrate one or more of the SDGs, hopefully including open pedagogy
* Supporting and advising their departmental / college colleagues to do the same
We have modules in our course evaluation system for OER and for sustainability, but not for open pedagogy. Does anyone have or know of questions for student evaluations of the inclusion of open pedagogy in a course?
