Apply by June 20 to run a Wikipedia assignment in Fall 2021!

by Arianna Cheveldave

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>. Best, Arianna Cheveldave [Hear my name]<http://nmdrp.me/ariannacheveldave> Coordinator, Open Education, BCcampus Email: acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:acheveldave@bccampus.ca> • LinkedIn: ariannacheveldave<https://ca.linkedin.com/in/arianna-cheveldave> • Pronouns: She/her ________________________________ I acknowledge that the land I live, work, and play on is the unceded territory of the səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) peoples.

Examples of student authored Pressbook?

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, I have an instructor who wants to create a student authored Pressbook. What we need to work out is the logistics of multiple students developing content for a single book. I am currently reviewing A Guide to Making Open Textbooks with Students<https://press.rebus.community/makingopentextbookswithstudents/>, but we are curious about the practical process of managing student creation of content. If you know of a Pressbook that was authored by a class, I'd love to speak to the faculty member about their process!

We are meeting/gathered on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which, today encompasses the Indigenous people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta: the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina, the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the Northwest Métis Homeland – Region 3. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Alberta OER" group.

ISO: Survey to identify course in-use course materials

by Urooj Nizami

Hi all, I’m supporting a faculty member who is looking to conduct an environmental scan within their department of all learning resources that are being used by instructors, not just OER. The goal is to identify gaps in OER use. Would anyone happen to have access to a survey that was used to conduct a similar scan elsewhere? As a first step, we’re working backwards by identifying bookstore orders. Thank you all for your time and expertise!

Call for Authors | Intro to Crim OER

by Urooj Nizami

Dear all, I’m writing on behalf of faculty member Shereen Hassan at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. Dr. Hassan is looking for contributors to author two chapters in a much-anticipated, Canada-focused, Introduction to Criminology openly-licensed textbook. The two outstanding chapters that require authors are: 1. Methods/Measuring Crime 2. Environmental Criminology 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 information, please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca<mailto:shereen.hassan@kpu.ca> by Friday, May 21, 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. Dr. Gail Anderson has contributed in the area of biological explanations of crime, and Dr. Zachary Rowan and Michaela McGuire have co-authored a chapter on learning theories. There are authors from several other universities in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort! I am still looking for authors in the area of (1) Environmental Criminology and (2) Measuring Crime and Methods. For environmental Criminology, we were hoping this chapter could begin with a discussion of the classical school and from that, stem into rational choice/choice theories to include also routine activities and other theories falling under this umbrella. The methods chapter should cover UCR, GSS and self-report surveys. It will also be necessary to introduce the idea of statistics, surveys, etc., as one method of measuring crime, but also talk about how qualitative inquiry is important for measuring things like perceptions of crime, severity, etc. A basic introduction to the various methods that criminologists use could be weaved into this chapter. Key methods concepts briefly defined here would include: empirical, qualitative and quantitative, sampling, reliability, validity, deductive and inductive, correlation, case studies and experiments. A detailed discussion of Indigenous methodologies, including but not limited to oral history, would be instrumental, as well as a contextual background for students to better understand the statistics which demonstrate the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in crime statistics. 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 this theoretical framework's application to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, 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.

We’re excited to announce that the call for proposals for the Open Education Global 2021 conference<https://conference.oeglobal.org/2021/> is now open until May 7th. This year Open Education Global<https://www.oeglobal.org/> (OEGlobal) is trying something different by having the conference focus on raising awareness of, and taking action on, the UNESCO OER Recommendation<http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=49556&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION…>. The conference has a five day online conference component running from Sept-27 through Oct-1, with each day focusing on a different action area of the Recommendation, and an in-person congress 5-7-Oct (pandemic permitting) in Nantes France. A special aspect of this years conference is support for sessions in all six of the official UNESCO languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish). We see this as a significant step forward in embracing the diversity and inclusion aspects of open education.

CARL Webinar on Advancing National Capacity for OER in Canada - Webinaire sur la collaboration pour faire progresser la capacité du Canada en matière de REL

by Lise Brin

Dear OE practitioners across Canada, praticiens et praticiennes de l’ÉO au Canada, CARL is pleased to announce the following panel that we hope will launch many future conversations across PSE stakeholder groups in Canada on how to collaborate to increase opportunities around OER across the country. Il nous fait grand plaisir d'annoncer la table ronde suivante qui, nous l'espérons, lancera de nombreuses conversations futures entre les groupes d'intervenants de l'enseignement postsecondaire au Canada sur les façons de collaborer pour accroître les possibilités en matière de REL à travers le pays. **** Webinar: How Can We Successfully Collaborate to Advance National Capacity for OER in Canada? https://www.carl-abrc.ca/mini-site-page/webinar-advancing-national-capacity… Date: Thursday, April 22, 2021 Time: 1 p.m. ET Register here (all are welcome): https://bit.ly/39Wd707 Funding by provincial governments to encourage the development or use of open education resources (OER) in post-secondary education has been far from consistent across Canada, ranging from long-standing programs of annual funding for OER production and promotion to limited short-term project funding or in a few cases, no contributions at all. Yet it is clear that the investments made to date – not only by provincial governments but also by individual institutions or consortia – have produced important results, demonstrated by increased adoption of OER textbooks and reduction in student expenses. (For more background, see CARL Open Education Working Group’s 2020 Environmental Scan of Open Education Service and Support in Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/OEWG_environmental_scan…>.) So how can we strengthen OER adoption further, better ensuring that all post-secondary students have opportunities to benefit from regionally relevant OER, and that faculty and instructors who wish to incorporate open education in their teaching have the supports and incentives to allow them to do so? Panelists will discuss strategies and opportunities for advancing Canada’s national OER capacity, whether through funding, training, infrastructure, or advocacy. SPARC’s experience with obtaining funding commitments at the federal level and with a variety of state-level policy strategies in the US will also be presented to help inform the discussion. This webinar will be recorded, and will be offered with simultaneous interpretation in order to accommodate francophone and anglophone presenters and attendees. CARL wishes to thank the SPARC team for their support in planning and delivering this webinar. Moderator: Bibi Wasiimah Joomun, Executive Director, New Brunswick Student Alliance Panelists: Hailey Babb, Open Education Project Manager, SPARC Cynthia Holt, Executive Director, Council of Atlantic University Libraries Gabrielle Lamontagne, Coordinator, Collaborative Projects and Indigenization, BC Campus Kalin McCluskey, Executive Director, Canadian Alliance of Student Associations Michael McNally, Associate Professor, School of Library and Information Studies, University of Alberta Lucie Vincent-LeBlanc, Executive Director, Consortium national en développement de ressources pédagogiques en français au collégial ---- Webinaire : Quelle est la recette d'une collaboration fructueuse pour faire progresser la capacité du Canada en matière de REL ? https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/mini-site-page/webinaire-faire-progresser-la-ca… Date : Jeudi 22 avril 2021 Heure : 13h HE Inscription (tous sont les bienvenus) : https://bit.ly/39Wd707 Le financement accordé par les gouvernements provinciaux pour favoriser la production et l'utilisation de ressources éducatives libres (REL) dans l'enseignement postsecondaire varie énormément au Canada ; certaines provinces ont établi des programmes de financement annuel pour la production et la promotion des REL, d'autres accordent un financement ponctuel par projet à court terme et quelques provinces n'offrent rien du tout. Pourtant, les investissements réalisés à ce jour — non seulement par les gouvernements provinciaux, mais aussi par des établissements ou des consortiums — ont clairement produit des résultats importants, comme en témoignent l'adoption accrue de manuels en REL et la réduction des dépenses des étudiantes et étudiants. (Pour plus de renseignements, consultez l’Analyse du contexte du service et du soutien à l’éducation ouverte au Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/GTDO_analyse_du_context…> du Groupe de travail sur l'éducation ouverte de l'ABRC de 2020) Alors, comment pouvons-nous faire progresser l'adoption des REL de sorte que tous les étudiantes et étudiants de niveau postsecondaire puissent bénéficier de REL pertinentes sur le plan régional et que les membres du corps professoral et le personnel d’enseignement qui souhaitent intégrer l'éducation ouverte dans leur enseignement disposent du soutien et des mesures incitatives qui leur permettent de le faire ? Les panélistes discuteront des stratégies et des possibilités pour augmenter la capacité nationale en matière de REL, que ce soit par le biais du financement, de la formation, de l'infrastructure ou du plaidoyer. L'expérience de SPARC dans l'obtention d'engagements de financement auprès du gouvernement fédéral et dans la mise en place de diverses stratégies politiques auprès des États américains sera également présentée afin d'éclairer la discussion. Ce webinaire sera enregistré et offert avec un service d’interprétation simultanée afin d'accommoder les présentations et la participation en français et en anglais. L'ABRC souhaite remercier l’équipe de SPARC pour son soutien dans la planification et la présentation de ce webinaire.

FW: Register / Inscrivez-vous : Code of Best Practices in Fair Use (and Fair Dealing in Canada) for OER Webinar and Workshop// Webinaire et atelier sur le code de pratique exemplaire en matière d'utilisation équitable pour les REL

by Lise Brin

Dear Canadian OE practitioners, chers praticiens en ÉO du Canada, In addition to the Open Education Cross-Canada Coffee Chat<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/mini-site-page/april2021-oecccc/> that was announced last week and will cover a similar topic, CARL is pleased to co-present, along with ARL, the following webinar and workshop. Note that this session is 90 minutes and not Canadian-specific, while the coffee chat will be about the Canadian context and less in-depth, more discussion-based. En plus du pause-café de la communauté des ressources éducatives libres du Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/mini-site-page/appel-oecccc-avril2021/> qui a été annoncé la semaine dernière et qui portera sur un sujet semblable, l'ABRC est heureuse de coprésenter, avec l'ARL, le webinaire et l'atelier suivants. Notez que cette séance dure 90 minutes et n'est pas spécifique au Canada, tandis que l’appel pause-café portera sur le contexte canadien et sera moins approfondi, plus axé sur la discussion. ======================== Code of Best Practices in Fair Use (and Fair Dealing in Canada) for OER Webinar and Workshop Date: Monday April 19, 2021 Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm ET Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqd-ioqDgqGdBYwQhQEQIo3PfZCdpz_C… Fair use and fair dealing are the rights to use copyrighted content without asking the rightsholder for permission. This statutory safeguard is key to a balanced copyright regime, allowing creativity and knowledge to flourish without constraint. Because the context in which librarians, teachers, musicians, journalists, and others rely on fair use varies, these and other communities<https://cmsimpact.org/report-list/codes/> have developed codes of best practices for fair use that are based on common scenarios in their fields. The newest code is on Open Educational Resources (OER), specifically what fair use enables with respect to using copyrighted material as “inserts.” The codes are not manuals—they are frameworks for decision-making according to community standards. Join ARL and CARL on April 19th from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Eastern for a panel discussion of the new code of best practices<https://www.wcl.american.edu/impact/initiatives-programs/pijip/documents/co…> in fair use for OER, including its Canadian appendix<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Strengthening_Canadian_…>, and what’s next for codes of best practice in the US and Canada. Then, stay for an “off the record” workshop with the authors to build confidence in your own fair use of copyrighted materials for OER. Please visit the event page<https://www.arl.org/event/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-fair-dealing-f…> for the complete list of panelists and more information about the event. ------------ Webinaire et atelier sur le code de pratique exemplaire en matière d'utilisation équitable pour les REL Date : Lundi 19 avril 2021 Time : 11 h à 12 h 30 HE Inscription : https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqd-ioqDgqGdBYwQhQEQIo3PfZCdpz_C… L'utilisation équitable est le droit d'utiliser un contenu protégé par le droit d'auteur sans demander l'autorisation du titulaire des droits. Cette caution judiciaire est essentielle à un régime de droit d'auteur équilibré, permettant à la créativité et à la connaissance de s'épanouir sans contrainte. Étant donné que le contexte dans lequel les bibliothécaires, les enseignants, les musiciens, les journalistes et d'autres personnes recourent à l'utilisation équitable varie, ces communautés et d'autres<https://cmsimpact.org/report-list/codes/> ont élaboré des codes de pratique exemplaires en matière d'utilisation équitable, basés sur des scénarios courants dans leurs domaines. Le code le plus récent porte sur les ressources éducatives libres (REL), et plus particulièrement sur ce que permet l'usage en ce qui concerne l'utilisation de matériel protégé par le droit d'auteur sous forme « d’encarts ». Les codes ne sont pas des manuels, mais des cadres pour la prise de décisions selon les normes de la communauté. Joignez-vous à l'ARL et à l'ABRC le 19 avril de 11 h à 12 h 30 (heure de l'Est) pour une discussion en groupe sur le nouveau code de pratique exemplaire<https://www.wcl.american.edu/impact/initiatives-programs/pijip/documents/co…> en matière d'utilisation équitable pour les REL, y compris son annexe canadienne<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Renforcer_droits_utilis…>, et sur les prochaines étapes pour les codes de pratique exemplaires aux États-Unis et au Canada. Ensuite, restez pour un atelier « à huis clos » avec les auteurs pour renforcer votre confiance dans votre propre utilisation équitable de matériel protégé par le droit d'auteur pour les REL. Veuillez consulter le site de l’événement<https://www.arl.org/event/code-of-best-practices-in-fair-use-fair-dealing-f…> pour voir la liste complète des conférenciers ainsi pour plus amples renseignements sur l’événement.
