Hello,
I have a question related to how people deal with open educational resources in their institutional repositories. We are trying to work through some details at UBC about how to efficiently describe OER in our institutional repository that prioritizes research materials. We were wondering if folks have suggestions for the following:
Are there any best practices/processes you use for the metadata?
Do you have particular Dublin Core fields and descriptors, keywords you use, or descriptive information that makes it easier to find within your repository?
Thanks for any help you can give!
Erin

Gender in Canada: A Companion Workbook
Edited by: Rebecca Yoshizawa
Primary Subjects: Gender studies, gender groups
[cid:image001.png@01D95C98.D7F0FEE0]
This workbook is designed for first or second-year sociology of gender or gender studies courses, focusing on the Canadian context. It is divided into five topics - Theory and Concepts, Institutions, Work, Family and Intimate Relationships, and Bodies and Health. This workbook does not replace a textbook, instructor teachings through lectures, class discussion, class assignments, or other standard undergraduate course materials. Instead, this is an activity book: a course companion, working alongside and with those course materials. It is designed to build competency, capacity, and confidence with course materials, concepts, and arguments. It does this by embracing the concepts of embodied learning, iterative scaffolding, and reflexive insight. "Embodied" means doing things with your body and not just your mind; "scaffolding" means breaking things down into constituent parts that can be gathered together to build something bigger; and "reflexive" means thinking about oneself in relation to broad concepts and contexts around us. The workbook presents four types of content. (1) Each chapter has one or two pages of written content deemed "Insights to Think About," which are summative guides to help students grab onto big ideas. (2) The chapters also have "Words to Try," encouraging a usable lexicon. (3) Chapters have thoughtfully designed "Activities." The activities help students to get ideas down, give those ideas meaning and order, and prepare students to do more engaged work in course conversations and higher-stakes assignments. (4) Finally, each section ends with "My Insights On," where students can record their "big picture" ideas and things they want to explore more in their course discussions and other assignments.

Cases on Social Issues: For Class Discussion – 2nd Edition
Edited by: Deirdre Maultsaid
Now with 5 additional cases!
[cid:image001.png@01D9572B.222FABA0]
“Cases on Social Issues: For Class Discussion – 2nd Edition<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/social-issue-cases-2e/>” was inspired by students and co-authored by people who are usually under-represented in higher education. These realistic, emotional cases are designed to help students grapple with ethical issues related to discrimination, diversity, equity, inclusion and general social issues in the workplace. These valuable cases are appropriate for upper-level undergraduate or graduate students in the humanities, business, healthcare, agriculture, environmental studies, Indigenous studies, land use studies, law and more. In addition to the background description and scenario, each case comes with modifiable discussion questions, notes on teaching strategies, and a reading list.

AtlanticOER Development Grants are intended to encourage and support educators in the Atlantic Region in the adaptation, adoption, creation, and curation of open educational resources (OER), and to increase access to course materials for students. Each grant is for up to $2,000 and is awarded to individuals, departments, groups, or institutions in the Atlantic Provinces to help achieve the following objectives:
* Support the creation or adaptation of open textbooks and ancillary materials, such as PowerPoint slides, quiz banks, images, and other digital study or interactive aids;
* Create a variety of OERs developed for use by educators and students in credit-bearing courses;
* Establish supportive events for the development of content for OERs, such as sprints (a collaborative in-person or virtual event to create or adapt an open textbook or ancillary resources); or
* Distribute funds to maximize direct benefit to a wide range of student learners and inquiry across a diversity of disciplines.

CAAL-CBPA represents member libraries across the region, all of whom sit on the unceded and traditional territories of First Peoples. In Newfoundland and Labrador, our libraries sit on the homelands of the Inuit of Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut, the Innu of Nitassinan, the Beothuk and the Mi’kmaq peoples. In Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, we find our friends and colleagues situated on the territory of the Mi’kmaq. In New Brunswick, libraries are found on the land of the Wəlastəkwiyik, Mi’kmaq, and Passamaquoddy Peoples. We at CAAL-CBPA wish to express our sincerest gratitude to the First Peoples who share their ancestral homelands with us all.
