Announcing the publication of Open at the Margins: Critical Perspectives on Open Education

by Rajiv Jhangiani

Dear friends and colleagues, We are overjoyed to announce the publication today of Open at the Margins: Critical Perspectives on Open Education<https://press.rebus.community/openatthemargins/>. This curated collection, published by the Rebus Community, includes 38 chapters contributed by 43 diverse authors. The book represents a starting point towards curating and centering marginal voices and non-dominant epistemic stances in open education, an attempt at critical pluriversalism. We hope that the global open education community will find this volume to be a helpful resource and encourage you to share it within your networks. You are invited to join us in celebrating the launch of the new book/collection via a Virtually Connecting Missed Conversation. We hope that many of you will join us in this session, and feel free to share the registration information with anyone else - it is open to all! The session will take place via Zoom on Friday August 21st, at 6pm UTC (see the Virtually Connecting announcement page to see the conversion to your timezone<http://virtuallyconnecting.org/blog/2020/08/17/missed-conversation-launchin…>). All are welcome to join the session and participate. Here is the link to register: https://aucegypt.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUrfuirrT4jGtBvmUsQjEV3Zwah66W00… The session will be livestreamed and recorded via Virtually Connecting’s YouTube channel, and later embedded in the Virtually Connecting site.

The Time is Now for Open Educational Resources - Place aux ressources éducatives libres

by Lise Brin

Dear members of the Canadian OER community, Membres de la communauté canadienne des REL, CARL has just released the following statement (and accompanying set of resources) in support of OER as a key solution for equitable online learning. We would like to thank the CARL Open Education Working Group for their work on these documents, especially Erin Fields, Laurie Morrison, and Ann Ludbrook. Please feel free to share any or all of these documents with colleagues and faculty at your institutions. Feedback is also most welcome! L’ABRC vient de publier la déclaration suivante (et l'ensemble des ressources qui l'accompagne) afin d’appuyer la promotion des REL comme solution clé pour un apprentissage en ligne équitable. Nous tenons à remercier le Groupe de travail sur l'éducation ouverte de l’ABRC pour son travail sur ces documents, tout particulièrement Erin Fields, Laurie Morrison et Ann Ludbrook. N'hésitez pas à partager ces documents avec des collègues et des professeurs de vos établissements. Nous apprécions d’ailleurs vos commentaires et suggestions. ****** Message bilingue – bilingual message: ------ The Time is Now for Open Educational Resources https://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/the-time-is-now-for-oer/ July 16, 2020. – As higher education continues to prioritize remote online instruction in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, university libraries are working with others to advance, innovate and collaborate on the creation and use of high-quality open education resources. In recognition and support of the work of academic libraries, centres for teaching and learning, and faculty members leading the development of OER on campuses across the country and around the world, CARL’s Open Education Working Group is pleased to share the following resources: an FAQ on Open Education<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…>, guidance for instructors on Getting Started with OER<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…>, and an Environmental Scan of Open Education Service and Support in Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/OEWG_environmental_scan…>. Open Educational Resources (OER) are free to use, openly licensed educational materials that have been produced by experts and educators in the field. Such resources carry no financial costs to the user, and are released under a Creative Commons license, enabling a full spectrum of uses. These permissions are often referred to as the “5Rs<https://opencontent.org/definition/>”: Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix and Redistribute. The availability of OER has grown tremendously over the past five years, in terms of the number and variety of formats (e.g. images, text, video, etc.), and the range of subject areas covered. Whether instructors are seeking open “textbooks” for their first- or second-year courses or looking for ancillary content to expand their students’ understanding of an area of study, OER can provide resources developed by experts in a wide range of disciplines. For students, finances can be a challenge at the best of times, but for those who now find themselves without a part-time job, summer employment, or are suffering other new <https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-627-m/11-627-m2020032-eng.htm> financial stresses<https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-627-m/11-627-m2020032-eng.htm>, buying commercial textbooks, whether digital or print, may not be possible. OER are one way in which instructors can help students<https://nationalpost.com/opinion/kyle-hiebert-in-the-covid-19-world-open-so…> fully and successfully engage in their learning. Unlike commercial options that are currently available – for example, the temporary free access to textbook collections provided by some publishers in response to COVID-19, and the expanding textbook rental model – OER provide students with free access to texts and materials not merely while they are enrolled in a course, but long after the course has ended. In addition to free access, OER enables flexible course design and delivery, including the ability to build tailored resources that can be altered as events and information change. Instructors can incorporate new relevant content in real time to contextualize important social, economic, and political developments. Instructors can also increase student engagement by incorporating elements of open pedagogy into their course design, providing students with experiential learning opportunities where they may contribute to the design and development of an OER as part of their course assignments. As instructors respond to the challenge of offering courses online, they may consider whether their course resources (e.g. quizzes, exercises, guides, etc.) could be opened for use and adaptation. For those interested in knowing more, or in learning how to participate in OER, CARL invites you to consult the following: > FAQ on Open Education<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…> > Getting Started with OER<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…> > Environmental Scan of Open Education Service and Support in Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/OEWG_environmental_scan…> > Open Education page<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…> on CARL website > CARL Open Education Working Group<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…> These new resources add to the excellent corpus of offerings from other organizations active in this area and in which librarians are participating. Notable among these are BCcampus<https://bccampus.ca/> and eCampusOntario<https://www.ecampusontario.ca/> here in Canada, and SPARC<https://sparcopen.org/> on the North American level. (Most recently, the Quebec government has supported the launch of La Fabrique REL<https://fabriquerel.org/> as part of its Digital Action Plan for Education and Higher Education<http://www.education.gouv.qc.ca/en/current-initiatives/digital-action-plan/…>.) The global events of 2020 have provided an opportunity to re-imagine many aspects of our world, including our approach to higher education. High quality, current, and barrier-free resources should be central to a student-focused, digitally innovative higher education system in Canada and globally. ----- Place aux ressources éducatives libres https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/nouvelles/place-aux-rel/ 16 juillet 2020. – Alors que l’enseignement supérieur accentue l’enseignement en ligne dans le contexte de la pandémie de COVID-19, les bibliothèques universitaires travaillent avec divers intervenants pour l’avancement, l’innovation et la collaboration en matière de création et d’utilisation des ressources éducatives libres de grande qualité. En reconnaissance du travail des bibliothèques universitaires, des centres d’enseignement et d’apprentissage ainsi que des membres des facultés menant la création de REL dans les établissements partout au pays et au monde, le Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC a le plaisir de partager les ressources suivantes : une FAQ sur l’éducation ouverte<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/faire-avancer-la-recherche/communication-savant…>, des conseils pour les instructeurs pour commencer à utiliser les REL<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/faire-avancer-la-recherche/communication-savant…>, ainsi que son Analyse de l’environnement des services et du soutien à l’éducation ouverte au Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/GTDO_analyse_du_context…>. Les ressources éducatives libres (REL) peuvent être utilisées gratuitement et ont un contenu pédagogique à licence ouverte produit par des experts et des enseignants dans le domaine. Ces ressources ne comportent aucun coût financier pour les utilisateurs et elles sont publiées sous une licence Creative Commons permettant un éventail complet d’utilisation. Ces permissions sont souvent désignées comme les « 5 R » : retenir, réutiliser, réviser, réorganiser et redistribuer. Au cours des cinq dernières années, les REL ont connu une forte croissance en nombre, en variété de formats (image, texte, vidéo, etc.) et en sujets couverts. Pour les enseignants cherchant des manuels pour leurs cours de première ou de deuxième année ou du matériel didactique pour approfondir les connaissances des étudiants par rapport à un champ d’études, les REL peuvent offrir du contenu créé par des experts dans une multitude de disciplines. Même en temps normal certains étudiants ont des difficultés financières ; s’ajoutent maintenant les étudiants sans travail à temps partiel, sans emploi d’été ou subissant un nouveau stress financier<https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-627-m/11-627-m2020032-fra.htm>. Par conséquent, l’achat de manuels commerciaux, que ce soit en format numérique ou physique, est peut-être impossible. Les REL sont un moyen permettant aux enseignants d’aider les étudiants<https://nationalpost.com/opinion/kyle-hiebert-in-the-covid-19-world-open-so…> à participer pleinement à leur apprentissage. Contrairement aux options commerciales actuelles — comme l’accès gratuit temporaire à des collections qu’offrent certains éditeurs en réponse à la COVID-19 et le modèle grandissant de location de manuels — les REL donnent aux étudiants un accès gratuit au contenu et au matériel didactique pour la durée de leur inscription à un cours et longtemps après la fin de celui-ci. En plus de leur accès gratuit, les REL offrent une liberté de conception et de prestation de cours, y compris la possibilité de créer des ressources sur mesure pouvant être modifiées selon l’évolution de l’actualité et de l’information. Les enseignants peuvent intégrer du nouveau contenu pertinent en temps réel pour contextualiser les évènements sociaux, économiques et politiques importants. Les enseignants peuvent aussi renforcer l’engagement des étudiants en intégrant certains éléments de pédagogie ouverte dans leur format de cours, offrant ainsi aux étudiants des occasions d’apprentissage expérientiel par lesquelles ils peuvent contribuer à la conception et à l’élaboration de REL dans le cadre de leurs travaux. Alors que les enseignants s’adaptent à l’enseignement en ligne, ils pourraient considérer permettre l’utilisation et l’adaptation libre de leurs ressources de cours (tests éclairs, exercices, guides, etc.). L’ABRC invite ceux et celles qui veulent plus d’information ou qui veulent savoir comment participer aux REL à consulter les liens suivants : > FAQ sur l’éducation ouverte<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/faire-avancer-la-recherche/communication-savant…> > Introduction à l’utilisation des REL<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/faire-avancer-la-recherche/communication-savant…> > Analyse de l’environnement des services et du soutien à l’éducation ouverte au Canada<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/GTDO_analyse_du_context…> > Page sur l’éducation ouverte<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/faire-avancer-la-recherche/communication-savant…> du site web de l’ABRC > Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/faire-avancer-la-recherche/communication-savant…> Ces nouvelles ressources s’ajoutent à l’excellent corpus de contenu offert par les autres organisations actives dans ce domaine et auquel participent les bibliothécaires. Parmi ces organisations, il y a notamment BCcampus<https://bccampus.ca/> et eCampusOntario<https://www.ecampusontario.ca/> ici au Canada et SPARC<https://sparcopen.org/> en Amérique du Nord. (Tout récemment, le gouvernement du Québec a appuyé la création de La Fabrique REL<https://fabriquerel.org/> dans le cadre de son Plan d'action numérique en éducation et en enseignement supérieur<http://www.education.gouv.qc.ca/dossiers-thematiques/plan-daction-numerique…>.) Les évènements mondiaux en 2020 ont permis de reconsidérer plusieurs aspects de notre monde, y compris notre modèle d’enseignement supérieur. Les ressources à jour, de grande qualité et sans barrière devraient jouer un rôle prépondérant dans un système d’enseignement supérieur innovateur sur le plan numérique et centré sur les étudiants au Canada et ailleurs au monde. -- Lise Brin, MLIS Program Officer / Agente de programme [cid:image001.png@01D65B96.9BDF6820] Canadian Association of Research Libraries Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada 309 rue Cooper Street, Suite 203 Ottawa Ontario K2P 0G5 T 902.318.4485 E lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin@carl-abrc.ca> W www.carl-abrc.ca [cid:image002.png@01D65B96.9BDF6820]@carlabrc

Zero Textbook Cost Pathway to Associate of Science Degree by BCcampus

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, A Zero Textbook Cost pathway to an Associate of Science degree<https://bccampus.ca/projects/open-education/pathway-to-associate-of-science…> is now available, based on existing OER that align with core requirements for Associate of Science programs in B.C. This pathway is designed such that a student could feasibly complete an Associate of Science degree without spending any money on textbooks, as they would only use OER and other free resources. In addition, BCcampus is awarding a grant to Thompson Rivers University so that they may develop their own institution-specific pathway. You can read more about that and the development of BCcampus' pathway in this blog post about the Associate of Science pathway<https://bccampus.ca/2020/07/07/a-pathway-to-open-for-science-programs-in-b-…>.

Hello and Coming Back into the Mix!

by JENNI HAYMAN

Hello Everyone, I’ve been working in the open but under the radar for a little while, but coming back to the critical advocacy work at a time when it seems to be needed most! I have missed visiting with you all and hearing about your work in your provinces and territories. I am extending my connections and practice into the work of UNESCO and emerging working groups advocating for national action on the 2019 OER Recommendation that was ratified by Canada and 191 other nations.

Request to complete a survey about the UNESCO OER recommendations

by Rajiv Jhangiani

Dear colleagues, I am writing to ask that you consider completing a survey from the ICDE OER Advocacy Committee (a group on which I serve). The survey relates to the UNESCO OER Recommendation, adopted 25 November 2019, which includes the following five focus areas i) Build the capacity of stakeholders to find, re-use, create and share OER ii) Develop supportive policy iii) Ensure inclusive and equitable access to quality OER iv) Nurture the creation of sustainability models for OER v) Facilitate international co-operation The mandate of the ICDE OER Advocacy Committee (OERAC)<https://www.icde.org/knowledge-hub/icde-oer-advocacy-committee> is to promote and support the UNESCO Recommendation and implementation across the globe. The general objective for this survey is to map progress in the implementation of the UNESCO OER Recommendation<http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=49556&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION…> globally, in the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The questions have its foundation in the Recommendation but also on the work of the UNESCO OER Dynamic Coalition<https://en.unesco.org/themes/building-knowledge-societies/oer/dynamic-coali…>, in which ICDE takes part (along with Creative Commons, ISKME, Open Education Global, SPARC, the OERu, and many others). We would sincerely appreciate it if you could complete this survey online by July 31, 2020. This survey is by necessity quite detailed and you should plan to spend at least 30-40 minutes for completion. Your responses will help us better understand country implementation efforts, and map progress. You can access the survey here: https://forms.gle/N16zqRcLT4URK1Q4A Thank you very much, Rajiv [logo gif] Rajiv Jhangiani, Ph.D. (pronouns: he/him) Acting Vice Provost, Teaching & Learning & Associate Vice Provost, Open Education Kwantlen Polytechnic University t 604.599.3253 e rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca<mailto:rajiv.jhangiani@kpu.ca> www.kpu.ca/tlcommons<http://www.kpu.ca/tlcommons> | www.kpu.ca/cps<http://www.kpu.ca/cps> | www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Administrative Coordinator: Janice Webster t 604.598.6215 e janice.webster(a)kpu.ca<mailto:janice.webster@kpu.ca> This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

Questions About A Math Open Text

by Ross, Heather

I have an instructor looking to adapt an existing open textbook that is under a CC-BY-NC license, but we can only find it as a PDF. I'm wondering if anyone happens to have or know of a more open version, particularly Pressbooks if possible. See below for details about the book and his question about copyright. Thank you. Hi Heather — I wanted to start a conversation with you about adapting an open textbook for MATH163. I expect you’ll be able to highlight some things to consider as I undertake this project. This is the resource I am planning on adapting: https://openscholarship.wustl.edu/books/10/ . The textbook is released under CC4.0(BY+NC), which, from my understanding gives me licence to transform and build upon the material and then release it under a similar licence. My plan is to use this text as a base to create a custom text for the course. This will mostly consist of pruning the some of the material that my students aren’t prepared for, adding some material, and making minor notational changes throughout. One immediate question/concern that I have is copyright of the .pdf output versus copyright of the .tex source file. The authors are resistant to release their source files to me. (I recognize that they are not obligated to). If I cannot get access to these my plan is to apply for funds from GMC to have a student, essentially, recreate the source files. I worry about possible copyright issues here. 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/>

LSUC <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/cch-v-lsuc/>*, *SOCAN v. Bell <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/socan-v-bell-2/>*, and *Alberta (Education) v. Access Copyright <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/alberta-education-v-acc…>* . As well, we now have three modules on technological protection measures (TPM): Technological Protection Measures (Digital Locks) <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/technological-protectio…> that provides an overview of TPM, s. 41 Technological Protection Measures <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/s-41-technological-protection-m…>, which examines the statutory elements of anticircumvention protection, and *Nintendo v. Go Cyber <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/nintendo-v-go-cyber/>* a module focused on the major Canadian case on TPM. This summer, through a University of Alberta Centre for Teaching and Learning OER Grant <https://www.ualberta.ca/centre-for-teaching-and-learning/grants/oer/index.h…>, the project will be developing four modules with a focus on post-secondary copyright issues: *Access Copyright v. York*, Collective Licensing and the Copyright Board, Educational Institutions Policies and Practices, and s. 29.4 to 30.04 Educational Exceptions. The Scholarly Contributions <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/scholarly-contributions/> section of the website has been updated and it has links to all the slides from the presentations about OUC as well as the two journal articles on the series. We’d also like to emphasize that these modules are published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence so that they can be adopted and adapted by anyone. On the page for each module you will find a link to the associated script and slides, to allow for adaptation. The scripts and slides are also made available under a CC-BY licence. In addition, we would like to highlight the *Opening Up Copyright* Community Pages ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Ul4YeOovdLOEaczPK7RipG_OgOd7etOcJI8ppT…) The Community Pages provide an overview of the entire suite of modules to be developed as part of the series, and also indicates which modules are currently under development.

Update to Open Education Foundation and Sustainability Grants Criteria

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, In light of the financial constraints being faced by B.C.'s post-secondary institutions during the current pandemic, BCcampus has decided to remove the requirement that applicants to the Open Education Foundation Grant for Institutions<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/open-education-foundation-gr…> and the Sustainability Grant for Institutions<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/bccampus-open-education-sust…> must secure matching funds from their institutions equal to the grant total. These grants' calls for proposals have been updated to reflect this change. If an applicant's institution is willing and able to provide in-kind and/or financial contributions to their proposed project, this information should be included on the grant application. Sent on behalf of Lauri Aesoph, Manager, Open Education. 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.

Question re: US-Canada OER collaborations

by Lise Brin

Dear CanadOER list members, Some colleagues in the US have asked CARL if we have any knowledge of current or past OER creation or adaptation projects that involve cross-border US-Canada collaboration. They are interested in exploring fair dealing/fair use considerations that such projects would entail. Note that they are meeting next week, so please contact me ASAP with any leads you may have. Many thanks, Lise -- Lise Brin, MLIS Program Officer / Agente de programme [cid:image001.png@01D30653.78740D00] Canadian Association of Research Libraries Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada 309 rue Cooper Street, Suite 203 Ottawa Ontario K2P 0G5 T 902.318.4485 E lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin@carl-abrc.ca> W www.carl-abrc.ca [cid:image002.png@01D30653.78740D00]@carlabrc

Unlike traditional publishing models, where marketing and promotion are completed for authors, engaging in open education activities requires some effort from practitioners in getting the word out there about their resources. This session will introduce you to workflows for making your resource discoverable, collecting impact data, and marketing and promotion processes to showcase the reach of your resources. This session will cover: * Identifying how resource formats and accessibility impact openness * Developing a plan for sharing open educational resources * Developing a plan for gathering data to show impact of your open educational resource * Identify marketing and promotion processes for releasing your open educational resource Presenter: Erin Fields is a librarian focusing on open education supports at the University of British Columbia. Erin is currently the Open Education Visiting Program Officer for the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL).

Veuillez noter que ce webinaire se déroulera en anglais, mais que les diapositives seront disponibles en anglais et en français. Contrairement aux modèles d’édition traditionnels, où le marketing et la promotion sont pris en charge pour les auteurs, la participation à des activités d’éducation ouverte exige des efforts de la part des praticiens pour faire connaître leurs ressources. Cette séance portera sur les flux de travail nécessaires pour rendre vos ressources repérables, sur la collecte de données d’impact et sur les processus de marketing et de promotion pour montrer la portée de vos ressources. Cette séance portera sur les sujets suivants : * déterminer comment les formats et l’accessibilité des ressources influent sur l’ouverture * élaborer un plan de partage des ressources éducatives libres * élaborer un plan de collecte de données pour démontrer l’incidence de votre ressource éducative libre * cerner les processus de marketing et de promotion pour la diffusion de votre ressource éducative libre Conférencière : Erin Fields est bibliothécaire à l’University of British Columbia et se concentre sur le soutien à l’éducation ouverte.
