Hello Ms. Brin, I am a Library Technology Student at SAIT currently enjoying a practicum with Jessica Norman at the SAIT Reg Erhardt Library. I am helping Jessica plan for OE Week at SAIT and I have registered for the Coffee Chat next week. Attending your Coffee Chat as an observer will help me learn more about the Canadaoer community and OE Week. I thought as I've never appeared on a Canadaoer attendee list in the past that an introduction may be in order. I'm looking forward to the event next week!

Update on Vretta's printing of OpenStax books

by Arianna Cheveldave

This message is sent on behalf of Lauri Aesoph. Dear colleagues: It's been more than a year since Toronto-based Vretta agreed to be the Canadian distributor for OpenStax hardcover textbooks<https://bccampus.ca/2020/04/28/hard-back-openstax-books-come-to-canada/>, two years after BCcampus approached OpenStax about providing this service as an option. Since then, BCcampus and Campus Manitoba have met with Vretta regularly to gauge response to this opportunity and discuss service finetuning that best fit need. Adjustments were made throughout the pandemic to ensure that printed OpenStax textbooks continued to be available. With the January term around the corner, Vretta is ready to receive textbook orders and answer questions as it and its collaborators—BCcampus and Campus Manitoba—look to improve access to their OpenStax inventory of hardback books. Details regarding service improvements will be shared in 2021. In the meantime, questions regarding this service can be directed to Vretta Account Manager, Shoeb Mozammel, at shoeb.mozammel(a)vretta.com. Regards, Lauri Aesoph Manager, Open Education, BCcampus

Psychology 2E (OpenStax) in Pressbooks?

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, I am looking for Psychology, 2nd edition, from OpenStax in a format that can be imported into Pressbooks. I didn't see a compatible file type on the OpenStax page, and the BCcampus page states that only the 1st edition is available in Pressbooks format. I was wondering if: 1. Someone has already imported the 2nd edition OR 2. Someone can give me some pointers on what I would need to do to import the 2nd edition content.

Question re: OERs and DOIs/ISBNs

by Cynthia Holt

Hello Everyone, As our OER repository is relatively new, we’re still nailing down all of the service components and best practices. One topic that arose recently is the question of applying for ISBNs and or minting DOIs for books created/adapted on our Pressbooks network. One thought, although not the only one in the discussion, is that ISBNs add a legitimacy to an open textbook in the eyes of some faculty members that might encourage creation/adaptation. Do any of you have apply for ISBNs and/or mint DOIs for the books in your repositories? Or have you had discussions in your own communities about this, and would be willing to share your rationales for why you do or do not do one or either? Thanks! Sincerely, Cynthia Cynthia Holt Executive Director / Directrice générale Council of Atlantic University Libraries / Conseil des bibliothèques universitaires de l’Atlantique (CAUL-CBUA) 120 Western Parkway, Suite 202, Bedford, NS B4B 0V2 | W: caul-cbua.ca<https://caul-cbua.ca/> | T: 902-830-6467 | E: execdir(a)caul-cbua.ca<mailto:execdir@caul-cbua.ca> CAUL-CBUA represents member libraries across the region, all of whom sit on the unceded and traditional territories of First Peoples.

Using Open Textbooks in the LMS

by Maddison, Tasha

Good Morning, I am hoping that someone can point me to a brief guide on using open textbooks from an instructional designer perspective. Covering information such as adding sections of the text to the course and referencing considerations when modifications are made to the work. We have a situation where the instructor does not want to disrupt the flow of the text but needs to distinguish between their words and the sections of the text that they are using. Any advice here would be very helpful. Thank you kindly, Tasha Maddison Saskatchewan Polytechnic

Looking for Health test bank: calculations and/or logic

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, I have an instructor developing an exam for our school's EMT program. He is asking if there are any open licensed test banks for 1) classic "logic puzzle" questions (so not necessary health-related) 2) dosage/ unit conversion/ fraction & decimal questions using health scenarios (EMT, ultrasound, nursing fields, etc.) I've checked my usual locations (eCampus Ontario, BCcampus, OpenOregon, Merlot, OERCommons) with little success, so any leads would be greatly appreciated!

UBC Library - Open Scholarship in Practice Event

by Fields, Erin

[Open Scholarship in Practice]<https://open.ubc.ca/osip2020/> Open Scholarship in Practice 2020 Join us November 2–6 for a week of free webinars and workshops exploring the practice of open scholarship — from new tools that can increase the reproducibility of research, to new pedagogies that become possible when students and faculty members become co-creators engaged in meaningful, generative knowledge creation. Hear from UBC colleagues who are incorporating “openness” in innovative ways to enhance teaching, research, and public impact. Explore the full event calendar <https://open.ubc.ca/osip2020/> here<https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/calendar?cid=7544&t=g&d=0000-00-00&cal=7544&c…>, or browse the sessions below. Here is a highlight of a few of the sessions! Working in Public: Generosity and the Knowledge Commons Date: Tuesday, November 3, 2020 Time: 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm Location: A Zoom video conferencing link will be provided prior to the event to all who are confirmed to participate. Featured Keynote: Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Director of Digital Humanities and Professor of English Michigan State University Working in public, and with the public, can enable scholars to build vital, sustainable research communities, both within their fields, with other scholars in different fields, and with folks off-campus who care about the kinds of work that we do. By finding ways to connect with a broad range of publics, in a range of different registers, and in ways that allow for meaningful response, we can create the possibilities for far more substantial public participation in and engagement with the humanities, and with the academy more broadly. This talk explores the ideas in Professor Fitzpatrick’s influential book, Generous Thinking, and will focus on the challenges posed by working in public and the skills required to develop more publicly engaged scholarship. Co-sponsored by the UBC Library and the UBC Public Humanities Hub. Register Here<https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/event/3585287> Emerging Perspectives in Open Access Book Publishing Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2020 Time: 10:00 am – 11:00 am Location: A Zoom video conferencing link will be provided prior to the event to all who are confirmed to participate. Open Access monograph publishing is a rapidly expanding and evolving strategy for making scholarly work globally accessible. Universities, academic publishers, libraries, and scholarly organizations are developing new initiatives, partnerships, services, and business models to support open access options for authors of scholarly monographs, textbooks, and academic books. This event will explore the opportunities, challenges, and experiences of OA book publishing from the perspective of authors, series editors and publishers. You are invited to join a panel discussion of UBC faculty and publishers that will address their motivations for “going open”, as well as the processes, impacts, and changes that OA is bringing to academic book publishing. Panellists * Katherine Bowers, Katherine Bowers, Associate Professor of Slavic Studies, UBC Department of Central, Eastern, and Northern European Studies * Megan Brand, Production Editor, UBC Press * Rupert Gatti, Co-founder and Director of Open Book Publishers; Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Director of Studies in Economics * Mark Turin, Associate Professor, UBC Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies & Department of Anthropology Register Here<https://libcal.library.ubc.ca/event/3584443> Publishing As Open Pedagogy: OJS & Pressbooks Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2020 Time: 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Location: A Zoom video conferencing link will be provided prior to the event to all who are confirmed to participate. As open education continues to gain traction in higher education, many are looking for ways to expand their integration of open approaches beyond merely the inclusion of open materials. Open publishing is beginning to emerge as one pathway towards greater engagement in openness in the classroom. This panel will introduce participants to five people working in various capacities to support student publishing through Open Journal Systems and PressBooks, two open source publishing platforms that allow for open dissemination of student-created, instructor-supported content.

York* <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/access-copyright-v-york/> - Collective Licensing Institutions and the Copyright Board <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/collective-licensing-ag…> - Educational Institutions' Policies and Practices <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/educational-institutions-polici…> - Sections 29.4 - 30.03: Educational Institution Exceptions <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/educational-institution-excepti…> Special thanks to the University of Alberta's OER Awards program for funding these modules, and to long-time OUC contributor Julia Guy, who finished up her work on the project last month. Through the fall of this year and into 2021 we will be working on the following introductory modules for the series: - Creating and Sharing Materials - Using Materials - Introduction to the Opening Up Copyright Module Series. In addition, and with support from the University of Alberta's Support for Advancement of Scholarship (SAS) fund, a set of modules dealing with copyright in the K-12 context are being developed in collaboration with Dr. Cathy Adams (University of Alberta, Faculty of Education). All of these modules, including slides and scripts, are published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence. This means they can be adopted and adapted by anyone. If you are linking to, adopting, or adapting the modules we would love to hear about it! Please add this information to our OUC ModuleUse Community Page <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JrSd5PWShvyExN8NEZOgFpuTaF8DhKrkkgkmWSC…> . As a reminder, the Opening Up Copyright CommunityPages <https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Ul4YeOovdLOEaczPK7RipG_OgOd7etOcJI8ppT…> provide an overview of the entire suite of modules to be developed as part of the series. We encourage you to contribute to the individual module pages, where we hope to collect your ideas, feedback or suggestions. Consider sharing suggestions for Learning Objectives, ideas for Narratives or Contextual Stories, Test Questions, Links to Useful Resources, or Other Suggestions for modules that interest you. You also have the option of including your name on these pages, so that we can provide attribution for your contributions at the end of the module. Feedback can also be sent directly to copyright(a)ualberta.ca with the subject line “OER Copyright Module.” And finally, don't forget to register for the ABC Fall Speakers' Series <https://abccopyright.com/fall-speakers-series-2020/>. On November 25 contributors from *both* the Opening Up Copyright *and* the Canadian Association of Research Libraries' (CARL) Copyright Open Educational Resource for University Instructors and Staff project teams will be presenting on how these two initiatives are working together to broaden copyright literacy.

Question re: migration agreement example

by Cynthia Holt

Hello Everyone, We have received email permission from an author to use his commercial textbook (he owns the copyright to his book) under a CC licence, but we need to have something more formal signed by him to facilitate this process.

Webinar: Publishing Indigenous Perspectives Online: How RavenSpace Editors Approach Collaboration

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, I hope you can join us for the following webinar on Tuesday, October 6, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. PDT: Publishing Indigenous Perspectives Online: How RavenSpace Editors Approach Collaboration<https://bccampus.ca/event/publishing-indigenous-perspectives-online-how-rav…>. RavenSpace, developed by UBC Press, is a digital platform for publications that aims to support Indigenous community-based research and authorship. It functions as a place where, with community permission, Indigenous knowledge can be shared, but also protected—where knowledge holders may maintain and assert their cultural protocols that govern how certain materials should be accessed, and by whom. In this session, we will show how RavenSpace has integrated publishing and web design workflows with the needs and rights of Indigenous community members and authors. We will share some of RavenSpace’s collaborative approaches, and, more broadly, will discuss additional ways to build cultural considerations into editorial and design choices. Attendees are welcome to share their own examples of approaching culturally sensitive materials in a collaborative environment, as we will allow time for discussion. More information on how to register can be found here: https://bccampus.ca/event/publishing-indigenous-perspectives-online-how-rav… Best, Arianna Cheveldave 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), W̱SÁNEĆ, and Songhees Nation of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples.

Calculus Test Banks

by Ross, Heather

I received this request from an instructor. Any assistance would be appreciated. "Open source question banks: since creating questions is time consuming, I have been looking for some open source Calculus canvas question banks that I could just import into my course and modify as needed. I have looked at OpenStax and in the Canvas Commons but I haven’t found anything particularly useful yet nor a way to import a canvas quiz question bank from any of these sources. Do you have any suggestions for me regarding this?" Heather M. Ross, BA BEd MEd Educational Development Specialist University of Saskatchewan Gwenna Moss Centre for Teaching and Learning Ph: 306-966-5327<tel:306-966-5327> Find open textbooks and other open educational resources on: http://open.usask.ca<http://open.usask.ca/>

OER Lab at Ontario Tech - Webinar (Sept 8 12 PM ET, 9 AM PT)

by Lillian Hogendoorn

Hi folks, Each month the Ontario Open Library Network hosts a webinar on a topic related to Open Education. While these generally feature topics of interest to Ontario educators or Ontario-based OER projects, we welcome attendees from anywhere, so long as they are interested in learning more about open. This month’s webinar is quite special because we’re featuring the students who run the Ontario Tech U OER Lab. The OER Lab is a student-run, staff-managed service point for faculty interested in OER work. These students get a great job, some experiential learning, and the chance to make change around curricular resources on campus. Supporting Open Work: The OER Lab at Ontario Tech University Across Ontario, colleges and universities are finding unique ways to support the creation of high quality open resources. Join us this month to take a closer look at Ontario Tech's OER Lab- a student-run, staff-managed group that brings content and technological expertise to the timely creation of high quality OER that will be used directly in an Ontario Tech undergraduate course by Ontario Tech students. Hear from Sarah Stokes, Faculty Development Officer in the Teaching and Learning Centre and OER Lab co-manager, and from the students who work in the lab. Sep 8, 2020 12:00 PM ET Register: https://ecampusontario.zoom.us/webinar/register/8515971796482/WN_mDU2V2OoSH… Hope to see some of you there! Lillian // Lillian Hogendoorn, M.I.

Tomorrow's Canada OER Agenda

by Amanda Coolidge

Hello! For those able to join us tomorrow for the Canada OER meeting, I have started an agenda on the google doc (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KuWFCekNe2iKjS4mY5DGzy2KsgMdXidfWtkkSIi… ) – as you can see I have some larger questions I would like to ask the group to identify what our future goals should be and how we move things forward. In addition, if you feel comfortable, I thought we could assist each other in “open”-related challenges we are facing. At the end of meeting, for those who want to stay on, I will divide us into small groups and you can present your challenge to you small group. The small group will then make suggestions, ask coaching questions, and help you identify how to handle the next steps in your challenge. Looking forward to chatting with you all!
