OE Global Summit 2019 - who wants to co-present?

by Lauri Aesoph

Hello Everyone, I'll be attending the [ https://conference.oeconsortium.org/2019/ | OE Global Summit in Milan ] this coming November, and am wondering if anyone else is going and would like to potentially co-present with me? My idea is to give an overview of open education in Canada, piggy-backing off the tremendous response I received for our recently published article: [ https://bccampus.ca/2019/02/19/canada-oer-group-2019-update/ | Canada OER Group - 2019 update ] . The summit's call for proposals is now posted with a May 1 deadline though I'd like to start working on the proposal soon as it requires both an abstract and extensive narrative (to be considered for publication). If you're interested or have questions, please let me know by Friday, March 8. Thanks, Lauri Lauri Aesoph, BSc Manager, Open Education BC campus | Learning.Doing.Leading. Cell: [ tel:250-580-6949 | 250-893-0258 ] • Email: [ mailto:laesoph@bccampus.ca | laesoph(a)bccampus.ca ] Twitter: [ https://twitter.com/lauriaesoph | @lauriaesoph ] • Skype: lauri.aesoph • LinkedIn: [ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauri.aesoph/ | lauri.aesoph ] [ https://bccampus.ca/ | BCcampus.ca ] • [ https://twitter.com/BCcampus | @BCcampus ] • [ https://twitter.com/hashtag/BCcampus?src=hash | #BCcampus ] I acknowledge that the land on which I work and live is the traditional territory of the Lkwungen-speaking people.

Re: [Canadaoer] Instructor support materials for Intro to Business text?

Hi All, I’ve been given the opportunity to pitch an OER textbook for an Intro to Business class alongside the typical publishers. I know that this committee’s biggest issue with OER is the (perceived) lack of instructional materials (instructor test bank, student self-tests, simulations, slide sets, etc.). I’m aware of materials from OpenStax, eCampusOntario, and BCcampus but I’d really like to wow the committee with other possible solutions. If you know of any additional ancillary materials for Intro to Business topics (esp. the OpenStax text), I would love to hear about them!

Business OER environmental scan

by Stephanie L. Quail

Hi everyone, Sorry in advance if you've already seen this...but we're just trying to get the word out as much as possible! I'm part of a research team doing an environmental scan of business open educational resources (OER). This scan is part of eCampusOntario's<https://www.ecampusontario.ca/> "Open at Scale" initiative. This scan is meant to identify existing (and soon-to-be released) business OER that can be used in college and university-level business courses by post-secondary institutions based in Ontario, Canada. The first step of this project involves reaching out to librarians, instructional designers, faculty, and other OER advocates to identify if there are any: a) pre-existing environmental scans of business OER that can be updated by the research team; b) core sources of business OER for the post-secondary level We've created a survey and we'd love to receive some input from you. It should take approximately 5 to 15 minutes to complete: https://goo.gl/forms/55gmkso00lqHKmFK2 We would appreciate a quick turnaround on responses - ideally by Wednesday, February 27, 2019. Final thing: Please help us get this survey into the hands as many people as possible by forwarding it to your colleagues and relevant listservs (please note, this survey has already been sent to the following listservs - SPARC OER, ABEL, BUS-Lib, Ontario’s LibOER).

OER buttons design for OE Week?

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, I'm looking for inspiration for button designs to give out during Open Education Week. So far, I've found this nifty set from College of the Canyons<https://www.canyons.edu/Offices/DistanceLearning/OER/Documents/OER%20Button…> but I wondered what else might be out there?

Review an open textbook

by Josie Gray

Hello all, BCcampus is looking to implement a review process for books that we are interested in adding to the collection. Up until now, we have taken that on ourselves. But we often find ourselves looking for the opinion of subject-matter experts before we agree to add a book to the collection. We are soliciting reviews on the following open textbooks on topics in philosophy and project management for engineers : * [ http://builds.openlogicproject.org/courses/phil379/ | Sets, Logic, Computation ] * [ http://forallx.openlogicproject.org/ | forall x: Calgary ] * [ https://wisc.pb.unizin.org/technicalpm/ | Technical Project Management in Living and Geometric Order: A Practical Perspective ] These reviews are meant to help guide our decision process. In a review, we will ask you the following: * to rate a textbook in five different areas from "very poor" to "excellent" * whether you recommend the textbook * for what courses and levels the book is appropriate for. There will also be an opportunity to provide additional comments. These reviews will not be posted publically, and we expect that they should not take longer than 30 minutes. An honorarium of $100 will be provided for each completed review. We will accept applications from instructors with subject-matter expertise who teach at any Canadian post-secondary institution. Instructors who are interested in reviewing one of these textbooks can email [ mailto:booksreviews@bccampus.ca | booksreviews(a)bccampus.ca ] from their institutional email address. Provide the book you are interested in reviewing, the institution you teach at, and list the courses that you teach that align with the selected textbook. We are only looking for one review per textbook, so reviewers will be accepted on a first-come basis provided they meet the requirements. If none of these textbooks are in your subject area but you'd be willing to review future textbooks, please email [ mailto:bookreviews@bccampus.ca | bookreviews(a)bccampus.ca ] with the subject areas that you have expertise in and I'll make a note to contact you if we have future books in need of review in that subject area. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Best, Josie Josie Gray, BA (Hons.)

Fwd: Invitation to be Interviewed -- OER / Open Leadership Webinar, Mar 4-8

by Krysta McNutt

Hi Everyone, I'm thinking about doing a webinar during Open Education Week where I draw out examples of "open leadership" from all the great work on OER happening across Canada or Alberta (depending on who responds!). It will be during Open Education Week, March 4 - 8. Date and time TBD. 1. Do this <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b3Aa4rzV5TA1fEDtg6eEQEssFmt2v7Gcg_fVXRe…> self assessment 2. Be ready to share some personal reflection about your results 3. Be ready to answer a few questions (I'll share them to you in advance) 4. Be ready to share a little bit about your project I'm going to base it off of Mozilla's open leadership framework (here <https://mozilla.github.io/open-leadership-training-series/>). The project you share about could be your work creating, adapting, promoting, using, supporting, or anything else about Open Education or Open Educational Resources. If it's about OE, I will probably ask you a few additional questions to differentiate between OE and OER. :-) Note: I will submit this to be recorded and shared by the CC Education Platform Network. My goal is for each person to be on video, if possible. ALSO - if you're interested but can't commit to a live webinar, let me know anyway. Maybe I'll do a non-live podcast to release later! -- Krysta McNutt, PMP Open Education Program Lead (Centre for Teaching and Learning) University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada krystam(a)ualberta.ca | 780-710-5674 | @mcnuttsays <http://www.twitter.com/mcnuttsays> *The University of Alberta is located **o**n Treaty 6 territory, the territory of the Papaschase, and the homeland of the **Métis Nation.*

Looking for

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, I'm hoping that someone has a lead on OER content for an introductory survey course in science (SCIE 2240: Science Past, Present, and Future). The outcomes are broad and include: * Describe the steps in the scientific method * Describe a series of experiments from the history of science that illustrate the elements of scientific method. * Define accuracy, precision, systematic error, and random error as they apply to measurements. * Employ appropriate units for physical measurements. * Define a hypothesis test and identify its components. * Make a conclusion from a formal hypothesis test based on sample data. * Create a written group report on a modern scientific result and the consequences to the prevailing scientific theory or model. * Discuss current trends in science. (This is not an exhaustive list) I have checked OpenStax, Open Textbook Library, OER Commons, BCcampus, Cool4Ed.org, OASIS, and Mason OER Metafinder. I have found a chapter here or there which might be re-written to fit these outcomes. However, I would love to find 2-3 books (possible topics: history of science, scientific method and research techniques, and current/future trends in science) that would cover these topics more comprehensively. I certainly do not expect to find all of this in one place. Any leads would be appreciated!

Business Information Systems OER Textbook?

We researched current OERs and have found a couple in the US that he could use as a launch point for his work. However, I know that business is a very popular area for new development and I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of a similar project (completed or in progress) at their institution or organization.

BCcampus Open Education: new OER and updates (January 23, 2018)

by Lauri Aesoph

Hello Everyone, Happy 2019 to everyone. Below is the latest for BCcampus Open Education. New textbook [ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=1ff23e21-e22d-482d-9fc5-… | Environmental Science: A Canadian Perspective ] This is the first open textbook published by Dalhousie University. It has been used for many years and underwent five revisions. When the author and Dalhousie faculty member, Bill Freedman, passed away, his widow agreed to publish the newest edition as an open textbook.

Re: [Canadaoer] Creative Commons Question

by Lillian Hogendoorn

Hi Heather, The NC clause refers only to the use, not to the entity. So even though her practice may be a commercial entity, the use of handing out patient education materials, to me, seems to be a non-commercial purpose. If there is no payment or compensation directly connected with the exchange, then you should be in the clear.

Does anyone know of an instructor using the OpenStax Economics text with a test bank, either the one from OpenStax or one that they have created / adapted?

Good afternoon. I am very excited to announce that the University of Saskatchewan adaptation of Physical Geology (originally out of BCcampus) has been published to our openpress.usask.ca site. You can find the book specifically at: https://openpress.usask.ca/physicalgeology/ Please note, do some formatting issues, custom PDF files were created instead of the standard Pressbooks PDF export.

Looking for OER Shop Safety Docs/Power Tool Manual

by Jessica Norman

I've had an instructor ask for help locating OERs related to shop safety and power tool use. His exact message: We are planning to put together a "module" or "document/policy" regarding safe use of tablesaws and jointers in our Carpentry and Cabinetmaker shops and wondered what may be available. I've look at MERLOT, Alberta OER, SkillsCommons, OERCommons, OASIS, BCcampus, and the University of Hawai'i. I've found materials related to OSHA, occupational safety, and CCOHS, but not a specific shop manual for carpentry or a manual for power tools. (I need to give the U of H textbook a closer look as some parts may be relevant). I'm hoping someone might have a lead for me!
