Dear Canada OER Community, The team behind the University of Alberta’s Opening Up Copyright instructional modules is pleased to share another update on the series. This past fall several new instructional modules have been created and existing modules revised. The new and rebuilt modules are: - Interlibrary Loan and Controlled Digital Lending (starring Goodbrarian and Animal) - Licensed Library Resources - s. 29 Fair Dealing - Images (rebuild) - SOCAN v. Bell (rebuild) - Open Licensing and Creative Commons (rebuild) There are now more than 20 modules available.

Re: [Canadaoer] Moving forward with recommendations

by Michael McNally

Thanks Christina and Gryph for facilitating the CC Canada discussion. In terms of next steps with regard to national advocacy and pushing for funding, I was thinking of trying to write an Op-Ed fro *The Hill Times *to frame and problematize the need for more funding, and then following this with a longer more detailed piece for *Policy Options *both in the new year. I'd be happy to collaborate on either if anyone is interested. Also, there is a clear need to engage with both CASA ( https://www.casa-acae.com/) and the CFS (https://cfs-fcee.ca/) on the advocacy front. I have a step removed connection to CASA that I could follow up on, but no connection at all with the CFS.

New open textbooks for Philosophy: Ethics & Philosophy of Mind

by Hendricks, Christina

New open textbooks on Ethics & Philosophy of Mind I am happy to announce the publication of the second book in a series of open textbooks for Introduction to Philosophy courses: Introduction to Philosophy: Ethics<https://press.rebus.community/intro-to-phil-ethics/>, edited by George Matthews (Plymouth State University, New Hampshire, USA). The first book in the series is Introduction to Philosophy: Philosophy of Mind<https://press.rebus.community/intro-to-phil-of-mind/>, edited by Heather Salazar<https://www1.wne.edu/arts-and-sciences/faculty.cfm?uid=755> (Western New England University). Introduction to Philosophy: Ethics explores both historical and contemporary approaches to understanding and justifying moral and ethical norms. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including moral relativism, the relationship between ethics and religion, virtue ethics in the Western and Eastern traditions, the question of self-interest and ethics, utilitarianism, Kantian deontological ethics, and recent work in feminist ethics and evolutionary ethics. Introduction to Philosophy: Philosophy of Mind surveys the central themes in philosophy of mind and places them in a historical and contemporary context intended to engage first-time readers in the field. It focuses on debates about the status and character of the mind and its seemingly subjective nature in an apparently more objective world. Written by experts and emerging researchers in their subject areas, chapters focus on substance dualism, materialism, behaviorism, functionalism, property dualism, qualia, concepts, and freedom of the will. The books are free of cost for the digital version and can be read online or downloaded in multiple formats. They have an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC BY<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/>) that allows revision and redistribution, with the requirement of attributing the original creators.

National OER Advocacy for the Next Federal Election

by Joy Kirchner

Hello Michael, We read your posting with great interest. CARL (Canadian Association of Research Libraries) has been having similar discussions. We would be most willing to collaborate on a joint effort at national OER advocacy. Regards, Joy Kirchner (on behalf of CARL) ********** Joy Kirchner Dean of Libraries York University From: Canadaoer <canadaoer-bounces(a)mail.bccampus.ca> on behalf of Michael McNally <mmcnally(a)ualberta.ca> Date: Thursday, October 31, 2019 at 9:06 PM To: Canada OER <canadaoer(a)mail.bccampus.ca> Subject: [Canadaoer] National OER Advocacy for the Next Federal Election Dear Canada OER Community, I was reflecting on the fact that we recently went through a federal election campaign where affordability was a central concern for seemingly every party, even to the point of floating vague promises (e.g. wireless mobile cost reductions with little specifics on how this would be practically achieved). Specifically, the NDP noted post-secondary affordability as a key issue, but its focus was more on tuition and grants, and it appeared, to the best of my knowledge, silent on textbook costs. Many parties also seemed relatively unconcerned about making expenditure promises if they figured they would garner votes. Couple these with the fact we are likely looking at a shorter time frame to the next election (most saying 18 to 24 months) and that every party will be looking to improve on their performance from earlier in the month, and I was wondering if there was interest in trying to get OER funding on to any of the federal party's radar (with the hope that given it is a relatively non-partisan issue, that if one party were to propose OER funding others may simply adopt it). I think there might be a variety of approaches/strategies to pursue to get OER funding, but thought I would see if there was some collective interest in pursuing this. Michael -- Michael B.

by Lise Brin

Please note that Monday (Nov. 25) is the deadline for Canadian post-secondary libraries to nominate an individual to attend the Open Education Leadership Essentials, which takes place immediately before OLA 2020, January 27-28 at Ryerson University. See details below. Veuillez noter lundi prochain, 25 novembre, est la date limite pour que les bibliothèques postsecondaires canadiennes soumettent la candidature d’une personne pour participer à l’atelier Open Education Leadership Essentials, qui aura lieu immédiatement avant la OLA Superconference 2020, les 27 et 28 janvier à la Ryerson University. Voir les détails ci-dessous. **** Message bilingue – bilingual message. Call for Attendee Nominations: Open Education Leadership Essentials (OeLE) Event January 27-28, Toronto, ON – Ryerson University **Deadline: November 25, 2019** CARL, along with sponsor BCcampus, invites nominations for participants to the Open Education Leadership Essentials (OeLE) workshop, January 27-28 (immediately prior to the OLA SuperConference) at Ryerson University, Toronto. The OeLE has been designed by the CARL Open Education Working Group as a way to provide Canadian library practitioners active in open education with the information, skills and resources to lead in this area. The event will engage participants with presentations, community building sessions, and hands-on activities that will provide participants with the building blocks to implement OE programs on their own campuses. This event is intended for active open education practitioners within libraries at Canadian post-secondary educational institutions. Given that there is a maximum registration of 65 for this workshop, the organizers will prioritize regional representation while also ensuring participation of those with demonstrated engagement with open education when deciding on the final attendee list. Important notes: * Only one nomination should be submitted per institution. Please ensure the individual nominated is able to attend the event on January 27-28, 2020. (Note: In the event that all 65 spaces are not taken by unique representatives from Canadian institutions, we will turn to a waitlist. To have a second person from your institution added to this waitlist, please email lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin@carl-abrc.ca>.) * Nominations must be submitted by the institution’s University Librarian or Associate University Librarian (or equivalent) no later than Monday, November 25th, 2019. We are aiming to communicate the list of selected attendees on Monday, December 2. Please note that there will be a registration fee of $100, but that this fee will be waived for members of the CARL Open Education Working Group. * CARL member libraries will each have one secured seat for the event. However, the secured seat will be opened to others if a nomination is not received by the deadline. Please note that in the months following the event, OeLE participants will be expected to collaborate with the CARL Open Education Working Group to extend this learnings into their regions via the creation and delivery of introductory satellite events which aim to develop a general understanding of core open education concepts and issues across academic libraries across the country. > Click here<https://form.simplesurvey.com/f/l/oele-nominations> to access nomination form **** Appel de candidatures de participants : Open Education Leadership Essentials (OeLE) Event [Principes fondamentaux du leadership en éducation ouverte] Les 27 et 28 janvier, Toronto, ON – Ryerson University **Date limite : le 25 novembre 2019** L’ABRC, avec le soutien de son partenaire BCcampus, lance un appel de candidatures de participants à l’atelier Open Education Leadership Essentials qui aura lieu les 27 et 28 janvier (immédiatement avant la Superconférence de l’OLA) à la Ryerson University, à Toronto.

Canadian distribution of hard back OpenStax textbooks - questions and feedback

by Lauri Aesoph

Dear Canadian Colleagues, OpenStax has identified a company in Canada, Vretta, that has agreed to distribute hard back copies of its open textbooks. This is the result of a discussion between OpenStax and BCcampus two years ago. Many Canadian instructors like/prefer these hardcopy versions vs. print-on-demand (PoD) books because of their layout and for their more durable hard cover. (Many PoD copies are soft cover.) Also, the cost of the pre-printed, full colour books are about 50% less than the colour PoD in the BC Collection. I am currently working to establish a plan and process for providing this opportunity to students, faculties and bookstores at BC's post-secondary institutions (including how this might work for OpenStax books in the BC Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/>), as well as Canada's other colleges, institutes and universities. No formal announcement has been made to the BC or Canadian post-secondary sector, though OpenStax participated in a couple of press releases in July: * Newswire/Cison News: OpenStax and Vretta partner to distribute OER print textbooks for Canadian students<https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/openstax-and-vretta-partner-to-distri…> * Markets Insider<https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/openstax-and-vretta-partner…> You will also find a link on the OpenStax page here: https://openstax.org/bookstore-suppliers I will be meeting with Vretta, again, Thursday morning. If possible, please send me answers to one or all of the below items by late Wednesday (tomorrow)/early Thursday (before 9:30am). * Is there interest at your institution or project in these books? Include specific titles and number of potential buyers if available. * Would your bookstore would be interested in ordering these books for sale to students? (Bookstores will be offered a discount on orders.) * Would your institution and/or bookstore be interested in providing a link to the order form on its website? * How many lead up time does your institution/faculty need to order textbooks for a term? * Other questions, comments, feedback. If you are unable to respond in time for my meeting, feel free to send your comments later.

Re: [Canadaoer] Registration for OeLE event?

by Jessica Norman

I’m not as familiar with university listservs as I’ve only worked at the polytechnic level. I am aware of the Canadian OER listserv (Canada OER, canadaoer(a)mail.bccampus.ca ) but the membership is a wide range of academic and non-academic folks. Would CAPAL have a listserv that would be appropriate? Other than that, I’m only aware of provincial organizations such as AAAL (Alberta Association of Academic Libraries). I can forward this information to AAAL as I’m a member. Cheers, Jessica Jessica Norman, MLS eLearning Librarian | Reg Erhardt Library Southern Alberta Institute of Technology From: Lise Brin [mailto:lise.brin@carl-abrc.ca] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2019 8:56 AM To: Jessica Norman <jessica.norman(a)sait.ca> Subject: Re: Registration for OeLE event? Hi Jessica, thank you for reaching out. I have included below the call for nominations that we released last Friday. You will note that the form must be completed by the University Librarian (or Associate University Librarian) and that only one person can be recommended per institution. Our outreach to colleges and institutes has been quite uneven – do you perhaps know if there is an association of libraries within institutes? I would happily ask them to distribute this message to their members. Any suggestions you can offer would be appreciated! Cheers, Lise **** Call for Attendee Nominations: Open Education Leadership Essentials (OeLE) Event January 27-28, Toronto, ON – Ryerson University **Deadline: November 25, 2019** CARL, along with sponsor BCcampus, invites nominations for participants to the Open Education Leadership Essentials (OeLE) workshop, January 27-28 (immediately prior to the OLA SuperConference) at Ryerson University, Toronto. The OeLE has been designed by the CARL Open Education Working Group as a way to provide Canadian library practitioners active in open education with the information, skills and resources to lead in this area. The event will engage participants with presentations, community building sessions, and hands-on activities that will provide participants with the building blocks to implement OE programs on their own campuses. This event is intended for active open education practitioners within libraries at Canadian post-secondary educational institutions. Given that there is a maximum registration of 65 for this workshop, the organizers will prioritize regional representation while also ensuring participation of those with demonstrated engagement with open education when deciding on the final attendee list. Important notes: * Only one nomination should be submitted per institution. Please ensure the individual nominated is able to attend the event on January 27-28, 2020. (Note: In the event that all 65 spaces are not taken by unique representatives from Canadian institutions, we will turn to a waitlist. To have a second person from your institution added to this waitlist, please email lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin@carl-abrc.ca>.) * Nominations must be submitted by the institution’s University Librarian or Associate University Librarian (or equivalent) no later than Monday, November 25th, 2019. We are aiming to communicate the list of selected attendees on Monday, December 2. Please note that there will be a registration fee of $100, but that this fee will be waived for members of the CARL Open Education Working Group. Please note that in the months following the event, OeLE participants will be expected to collaborate with the CARL Open Education Working Group to extend this learnings into their regions via the creation and delivery of introductory satellite events which aim to develop a general understanding of core open education concepts and issues across academic libraries across the country. > Click here<https://form.simplesurvey.com/f/l/oele-nominations> to access nomination form -- 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<http://www.carl-abrc.ca> [cid:image002.png@01D30653.78740D00]@carlabrc From: Jessica Norman <jessica.norman(a)sait.ca<mailto:jessica.norman@sait.ca>> Date: Monday, November 18, 2019 at 11:38 AM To: Lise Brin <lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin@carl-abrc.ca>> Subject: Registration for OeLE event?

Canada OER group for CARL Report

by Michelle Brailey

Hi there, I am pulling together a little report on community of practice for OE in Canada for the CARL OER Librarians group. I wanted to include the Canada OER group and was wondering if you had a short description handy that I could use? I wasn't sure if the group was still doing calls and didn't want to misrepresent any details!

I agree with Nick. With the education portfolio being of provincial jurisdiction, it makes it tricky to target the Federal Government for funding. Having said that, they fund specific projects. Indigenous ed is one, the whole Trades Harmonization project is another. Tim will know all about that ☺ Maybe there is room to work strategically around federally funded projects to generate awareness and even engage in conversations about policy… Just a thought. I would love to see Canada have a national policy / directive on Open Education! A lot of Caribbean Governments do…. The Commonwealth of Learning could provide advise on how to go about it.

If in doubt, please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)usask.ca<mailto:phishing@usask.ca> Hi all, I would certainly be on board with this! It would be fantastic to see a national initiative in this area, and I would throw anything at it to make that happen. There is a massive impediment to it though, as with any national level higher ed project, and that is where to pitch it because there is not a natural home for this ask within the federal government. Without a ministry, it is very hard to get government to care about it, especially since it is in an area that is a provincial mandate and with the provinces clearly not happy with the feds right now. I don't want to pour cold water on the idea, but want to be realistic about the uphill battle it would be to even get noticed, let alone a commitment to resources. Having said that, I think there are elements that could possibly fit within these departments: * Innovation, Science, and Economic Development (probably the closest bet) * Employment and Social Development (a long shot, but ESD administers student loans so maybe) * Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism (another long shot, but could be targeted campaign around the things they care about - have to be creative here) * Treasury Board and Ministry of Digital Government (yes, we have one of those) * Open Government - would need to be creative and it doesn't directly have a ministerial portfolio attached (but falls under the above's purview), so less likely to get funding, but Canada is the OGP chair this year, and has committed to the Open by default approach (which has recently filtered into things like procurement of software as well), so may be able to leverage this, plus the tri-council open requirements. At the provincial level, anywhere we have a conservative government, as in my own province of Ontario, is going to be a blocker to this for a number of reasons. With that in mind though, conservative governments are making higher ed less accessible to their constituents, more expensive if you do manage to get in, and generally disinvesting in this file, so there is an opportunity to hammer the alternative parties to be the opposite. So I think it will be a tough sell, but absolutely worthwhile trying. Cheers Nick We have moved! The Office of Open Learning has moved to the CEI as of Monday, 26 August.

Specifically, the NDP noted post-secondary affordability as a key issue, but its focus was more on tuition and grants, and it appeared, to the best of my knowledge, silent on textbook costs. Many parties also seemed relatively unconcerned about making expenditure promises if they figured they would garner votes. Couple these with the fact we are likely looking at a shorter time frame to the next election (most saying 18 to 24 months) and that every party will be looking to improve on their performance from earlier in the month, and I was wondering if there was interest in trying to get OER funding on to any of the federal party's radar (with the hope that given it is a relatively non-partisan issue, that if one party were to propose OER funding others may simply adopt it). I think there might be a variety of approaches/strategies to pursue to get OER funding, but thought I would see if there was some collective interest in pursuing this. Michael -- Michael B.

CARL issues statement on Open Education – L'ABRC publie une déclaration sur l'éducation ouverte

by Lise Brin

Please note and share widely – Nous tenons à vous aviser de l’annonce suivant. Veuillez partager librement. --- November 14, 2019 – The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) has released a statement on open education. CARL believes that the mission of universities is to create and disseminate knowledge, and that an open scholarship system that is accessible to all readers offers the surest path towards positively impacting human life on all parts of the globe. CARL further believes that opening all forms of scholarship to wide scrutiny enhances quality, increases accountability and promotes collaboration – thus leading to higher visibility and impact. Open education practices align well with these principles, as they reduce barriers to education, leverage technology to improve teaching and learning, and can result in high quality learning experiences. > Read the full CARL Statement on Open Education (PDF)<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/CARL_statement_OE-3.pdf> ---- 14 novembre 2019 – L’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada (ABRC) a publié une déclaration sur l'éducation ouverte. L’ABRC est d’avis que les universités ont pour mission de créer et de diffuser des connaissances, et qu’un système d’érudition ouverte disponible à tous constitue la meilleure façon d’avoir une incidence positive sur la vie humaine dans toutes les régions du monde. L’ABRC croit en outre que le fait de soumettre toutes les formes d’érudition ouverte à un examen approfondi améliore la qualité, renforce la responsabilisation, favorise la collaboration et accroît ainsi la visibilité et l’impact. Les pratiques en matière d’éducation ouverte s’harmonisent bien avec ces principes, car elles réduisent les obstacles à l’éducation, tirent parti de la technologie pour améliorer l’enseignement et l’apprentissage, et peuvent se traduire par des expériences d’apprentissage de grande qualité. > Accéder au texte intégral de la Déclaration de l’ABRC sur l'éducation ouverte (PDF)<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ABRC_déclaration_OE-1.p…> -- 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

I agree with Nick. With the education portfolio being of provincial jurisdiction, it makes it tricky to target the Federal Government for funding. Having said that, they fund specific projects. Indigenous ed is one, the whole Trades Harmonization project is another. Tim will know all about that ☺ Maybe there is room to work strategically around federally funded projects to generate awareness and even engage in conversations about policy… Just a thought. I would love to see Canada have a national policy / directive on Open Education! A lot of Caribbean Governments do…. The Commonwealth of Learning could provide advise on how to go about it.

If in doubt, please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)usask.ca<mailto:phishing@usask.ca> Hi all, I would certainly be on board with this! It would be fantastic to see a national initiative in this area, and I would throw anything at it to make that happen. There is a massive impediment to it though, as with any national level higher ed project, and that is where to pitch it because there is not a natural home for this ask within the federal government. Without a ministry, it is very hard to get government to care about it, especially since it is in an area that is a provincial mandate and with the provinces clearly not happy with the feds right now. I don't want to pour cold water on the idea, but want to be realistic about the uphill battle it would be to even get noticed, let alone a commitment to resources. Having said that, I think there are elements that could possibly fit within these departments: * Innovation, Science, and Economic Development (probably the closest bet) * Employment and Social Development (a long shot, but ESD administers student loans so maybe) * Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism (another long shot, but could be targeted campaign around the things they care about - have to be creative here) * Treasury Board and Ministry of Digital Government (yes, we have one of those) * Open Government - would need to be creative and it doesn't directly have a ministerial portfolio attached (but falls under the above's purview), so less likely to get funding, but Canada is the OGP chair this year, and has committed to the Open by default approach (which has recently filtered into things like procurement of software as well), so may be able to leverage this, plus the tri-council open requirements. At the provincial level, anywhere we have a conservative government, as in my own province of Ontario, is going to be a blocker to this for a number of reasons. With that in mind though, conservative governments are making higher ed less accessible to their constituents, more expensive if you do manage to get in, and generally disinvesting in this file, so there is an opportunity to hammer the alternative parties to be the opposite. So I think it will be a tough sell, but absolutely worthwhile trying. Cheers Nick We have moved! The Office of Open Learning has moved to the CEI as of Monday, 26 August.

Specifically, the NDP noted post-secondary affordability as a key issue, but its focus was more on tuition and grants, and it appeared, to the best of my knowledge, silent on textbook costs. Many parties also seemed relatively unconcerned about making expenditure promises if they figured they would garner votes. Couple these with the fact we are likely looking at a shorter time frame to the next election (most saying 18 to 24 months) and that every party will be looking to improve on their performance from earlier in the month, and I was wondering if there was interest in trying to get OER funding on to any of the federal party's radar (with the hope that given it is a relatively non-partisan issue, that if one party were to propose OER funding others may simply adopt it). I think there might be a variety of approaches/strategies to pursue to get OER funding, but thought I would see if there was some collective interest in pursuing this. Michael -- Michael B.
