Federal Pre-Budget Consultation (2025) - Briefs Due Aug 2

by Canada Open Education Resources

Hi Everyone, The House of Commons Finance Committee (FINA) has announced its regular pre-budget consultation (for 2025). Link: https://www.ourcommons.ca/committees/en/FINA/StudyActivity?studyActivityId=… In that regard, perhaps there could be some sort of coordinated approach - either we could aim to have groups and individuals agree on a common ask (perhaps based on the advocacy work to date/the National Framework <https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/A-National-Advocacy-Fra…>), or alternatively we could develop a document that would allow anyone to sign on and then try to get as many signatories as possible. I recognize coordinating over July is a bit of a mess (especially with the brief due right before a long weekend). Michael

The Council of Atlantic Academic Libraries (CAAL)<https://caul-cbua.ca/> is delighted to announce the recipients of this year’s AtlanticOER Development Grants<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/grants/>. These grants are intended to support educators in the Atlantic Region in the adaptation, adoption, creation, and curation of open educational resources (OER), and to increase access to course materials for students. With funding from the Council of Atlantic Ministers for Education and Training (CAMET), the AtlanticOER Development Grant Program expanded this year. A new tiered system of funding was introduced to better support textbook creation (up to $7,000), adaptation (up to $3,500), and ancillary material creation projects (up to $1,000). The grants aim to support educators from provincially funded post-secondary institutions in achieving the following objectives: * Support the creation or adaptation of open textbooks and ancillary materials, such as PowerPoint slides, quiz banks, images, and other digital study or interactive aids; * Create a variety of OERs developed for use by educators and students in credit-bearing courses; * Establish supportive events for the development of content for OERs, such as sprints (a collaborative in-person or virtual event to create or adapt an open textbook or ancillary resources); or * Distribute funds to maximize direct benefit to a wide range of student learners and inquiry across a diversity of disciplines. The 2024 Development Grant recipients<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/2024/07/10/2024-recipients-of-the-atla…> are: Dr. Cynthia Alexander, Department of Politics, Acadia University [ATxaAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC] Tier: Creation Grant Project: The goal of this project is to create an interdisciplinary textbook that centers a decolonizing approach to public policy, amplifying Indigenous experts’ policy approaches and priorities.

[caal] CAAL Staff Update / Mise à jour concernant le personnel du CBPA

by Canada Open Education Resources

[A close-up of blue text Description automatically generated] Le français suit [A person smiling at camera Description automatically generated]I am delighted to share that as of April 1st, Alexandra Marcaccio has been extended in her role as AtlanticOER Lead, with expanded responsibilities, through to March 31, 2027. Since joining CAAL in September 2023, Alexandra has shown exceptional leadership in advancing the AtlanticOER Service as a valued member of the CAAL Team. During her tenure, she helped immensely in securing provincial funding for the Service, developed an assessment framework to inform success, increased capacity, and streamlined the Service. She also lead a user-centric process reviewing our current website and intranet against user and organizational needs, with a final report with recommendations to the Board for CAAL’s future website and intranet. I am very pleased to recognize the impact of her work through this expanded and enhanced role. Alexandra’s new role will see her continued leadership of the AtlanticOER Service, with operational responsibilities to include: * Coordinating the daily operations of the AtlanticOER Service; * Developing and implementing metadata strategies; * Digital curation of content; * OER development and promotion; * Development Grant program administration; * Peer review honoraria program administration; and * Managing a robust assessment framework for the Service to ensure accountability and transparency. Additionally, Alexandra will represent CAAL-CBPA as delegated in regional and national OER discussions and activities. Prior to joining CAAL, served as the OER Librarian at the University of Guelph where she led the library's Open and Affordable Course Content Task Force. She has previously worked as the Collections Analysis Intern at Memorial University Libraries and the Online Accessibility Intern at Western Libraries. In her role as OER Librarian, Alexandra lead a curriculum mapping project that sought to understand the trends in course materials and collaborated on an open pedagogy project where students worked to create a new learning resource. She presented on both projects at the 2023 Open Education Conference. This position reflects an expansion and evolution in Alexandra’s responsibilities and recognizes the value that she brings to CAAL-CBPA and AtlanticOER. I look forward to continuing to work with her in this expanded capacity. Alexandra can be reached at her new email address, atlanticoerlead(a)caul-cbua.ca<mailto:atlanticoerlead@caul-cbua.ca>, with her previous CAAL email address forwarding to this new address. Please join me in congratulating Alexandra on her extension and expanded role! Sincerely, Cynthia [A person smiling at camera Description automatically generated] J’ai le plaisir de vous annoncer qu’en date du 1 avril, Alexandra Marcaccio a été reconduite dans ses fonctions de responsable RELAtlantique, avec des responsabilités élargies, jusqu’au 31 mars 2027. Depuis qu’elle s’est jointe à CBPA en septembre 2023, Alexandra a fait preuve d’un leadership exceptionnel en faisant progresser le Service AtlanticOER en tant que membre estimé de l’équipe CBPA. Au cours de son mandat, elle a grandement aidé à obtenir du financement provincial pour le Service, a élaboré un cadre d’évaluation pour éclairer la réussite, a accru la capacité et a simplifié le Service. Elle dirige également un processus axé sur l’utilisateur qui consiste à examiner notre site Web et notre intranet actuels par rapport aux besoins des utilisateurs et de l’organisation, et à rédiger un rapport final contenant des recommandations à l’intention du Conseil d’administration pour le futur site Web et l’intranet du CBPA. Je suis très heureux de reconnaître l’impact de son travail dans le cadre de ce rôle élargi et amélioré. Dans le cadre de ses nouvelles fonctions, Alexandra continuera de diriger le service AtlanticOER, dont les responsabilités opérationnelles comprennent : * Coordonner les opérations quotidiennes du service RELAtlantique ; * élaborer et mettre en œuvre des stratégies relatives aux métadonnées ; * la conservation numérique du contenu ; * le développement et la promotion des REL ; * l’administration du programme de subventions de développement ; * l’administration du programme d’honoraires par les pairs ; et * Gérer un cadre d’évaluation solide pour le Service afin d’assurer la responsabilisation et la transparence. De plus, Alexandra représentera le CBPA tel que délégué dans les discussions et les activités régionales et nationales sur les RÉL. Avant de se joindre au CBPA, elle a été bibliothécaire des RÉL à l’University of Guelph, où elle a dirigé le groupe de travail sur le contenu des cours ouverts et abordables de la bibliothèque. Auparavant, elle a travaillé comme stagiaire en analyse des collections aux bibliothèques de la Memorial University et stagiaire en accessibilité en ligne aux bibliothèques de l’Ouest. Dans son rôle de bibliothécaire des RÉL, Alexandra a dirigé un projet de cartographie des programmes d’études visant à comprendre les tendances dans les documents de cours et a collaboré à un projet de pédagogie ouverte dans le cadre duquel les étudiants ont travaillé à la création d’une nouvelle ressource d’apprentissage. Elle a présenté les deux projets à la Conférence sur l’éducation ouverte de 2023. Ce poste reflète une expansion et une évolution des responsabilités d’Alexandra et reconnaît la valeur qu’elle apporte à CBPA et à RELAtlantique. Je me réjouis à l’idée de continuer à travailler avec elle dans le cadre de ce mandat élargi. Vous pouvez communiquer avec Alexandra à sa nouvelle adresse électronique, atlanticoerlead(a)caul-cbua.ca<mailto:atlanticoerlead@caul-cbua.ca>, en lui transmettant son adresse de courriel précédente CBPA. En votre nom à tous, je félicite Alexandra pour sa prolongation et son rôle élargi!

The Council of Atlantic Academic Libraries (CAAL)<https://caul-cbua.ca/about-caalcbpa>1 is pleased to announce that the governments of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island will provide funding for the next three years in support of AtlanticOER<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/>. AtlanticOER<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/> is a service developed and led by CAAL that supports the hosting and creation of open educational resources (OERs) 2, such as quality open (free) textbooks and other course materials, by educators in the region. These open textbooks have already saved students in the region almost $900,000 in textbook costs. AtlanticOER includes: * A digital publishing platform (Pressbooks), as a place to create and house OERs; * A staff position, the AtlanticOER Lead, that already provides a pivotal leadership role in advancing the Service and OERs in the Region; and * AtlanticOER Development Grants for faculty and instructors to encourage and support educators in the Atlantic Region in the adaptation, adoption, creation, and curation of OERs, and to improve access to course materials for students. This initiative has been a long time in the making. It was developed through the hard work and commitment of librarians, faculty, and staff at post-secondary institutions in the region in partnership with dedicated student advocacy organizations such as StudentsNS. A more formal announcement will follow once details are finalized. Sincerely, Cynthia 1 CAAL is a vibrant regional network of Atlantic Canada’s public university and college libraries leveraging community and collaboration to advance scholarship, innovation, diversity, and accessibility in teaching, learning, research, and student experiences. 2 The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) defines OERs as “free to use and openly licensed teaching and learning materials." As stated by leading open education proponent David Wiley, “‘open content’ describes a copyrightable work that is licensed in a way that ‘provides users with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities which are retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute.” [cid:image003.jpg@01DA715C.2F532900] [A picture containing chart Description automatically generated] Plan stratégique du CBPA : Stratégie 6.0 Faire progresser la sensibilisation et l’adoption des ressources éducatives libres (REL) dans la région de l’Atlantique. Le Conseil des bibliothèques postsecondaires de l’Atlantique (CBPA) 1 est heureux d’annoncer que les gouvernements de la Nouvelle-Écosse, de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, du Nouveau-Brunswick et de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard fourniront un financement pour les trois prochaines années à l’appui de l’initiative RELAtlantique. RELAtlantique est un service développé et dirigé par CBPA qui soutient l’hébergement et la création de ressources éducatives libres (REL)2, telles que des manuels de qualité ouverts (gratuits) et d’autres matériels de cours, par des éducateurs de la région. Ces manuels libres ont déjà permis aux étudiants de la région d’économiser près de 900 000 $ en coûts de manuels. RELAtlantique comprend : * Une plateforme de publication numérique (Pressbooks), comme lieu de création et d’hébergement des REL ; * Un poste d’employé, le responsable RELAtlantique, qui joue déjà un rôle de premier plan dans l’avancement du service et des REL dans la région ; et * Subventions de développement des RELAtlantique pour les enseignants et les formateurs et formatrices afin d’encourager et d’appuyer les éducateurs de la région de l’Atlantique dans l’adaptation, l’adoption, la création et la conservation des REL, et d’améliorer l’accès aux documents de cours pour les étudiants. Cette initiative a pris beaucoup de temps. Il a été élaboré grâce au travail acharné et à l’engagement des bibliothécaires, du corps professoral et du personnel des établissements postsecondaires de la région, en partenariat avec des organismes voués à la défense des intérêts des étudiants comme StudentsNS. Une annonce plus officielle suivra une fois que les détails seront finalisés. Cordialement, Cynthia 1 CBPA est un réseau régional dynamique de bibliothèques universitaires et collégiales publiques du Canada atlantique qui mise sur la communauté et la collaboration pour faire progresser les bourses d’études, l’innovation, la diversité et l’accessibilité dans l’enseignement, l’apprentissage, la recherche et les expériences étudiantes. 2 L’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada (ABRC) définit les REL comme « l’utilisation gratuite et ouverte de matériel d’enseignement et d’apprentissage ». Comme l’a déclaré David Wiley, le principal promoteur de l’éducation ouverte, le « contenu ouvert » décrit une œuvre protégée par le droit d’auteur qui fait l’objet d’une licence d’une manière qui « donne aux utilisateurs la permission gratuite et perpétuelle de participer aux activités 5R qui sont de conserver, de réutiliser, de réviser, de remix et de redistribuer ».

Code of Best Practices in Fair Dealing for Open Educational Resources/Code de bonnes pratiques en matière d'utilisation équitable des ressources éducatives libres

by Canada Open Education Resources

Hello, We are pleased to share our Code of Best Practices in Fair Dealing for Open Educational Resources <https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/CARL_Code_Best_Practice…> with you. The Canadian Code was adapted from its U.S. counterpart, the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Open Educational Resources <https://cmsimpact.org/code/open-educational-resources/#Code-of-Best-Practic…>, and provides a legal and practical exploration of fair dealing in the context of Open Educational Resource (OER) creation in Canada. While the Code is not legal advice it provides a legally defensible and judicious model for the application of the fair dealing exception when incorporating third-party copyrighted content into OER. It details the relevant Canadian legislative and legal context and supplies practical examples. We hope that your institutions and organizations will utilize this resource and that you will share it with colleagues who may not be on this list-serv. We would like to acknowledge the authors of the U.S. Code and those within our Canadian intellectual property scholars, copyright and open education communities who contributed in a variety of ways to this work. For more information on this and other Codes, register for the Fair Dealing Week webinar, *Leveraging Best Practices: Using the CARL Copyright Codes of Best Practice in Your Library.* Date: Wednesday February 28, 2024 Time: 1:00pm - 2:30pm ET Registration required <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_n9I5-eoyQO-Vp0eBi9P7nw> Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Working Group: Rowena Johnson (University of Calgary and Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Visiting Program Officer (VPO) Digital Access), Stephanie Savage (University of British Columbia), Heather Martin (University of Guelph), Josh Dickison (University of New Brunswick) and Ann Ludbrook (Toronto Metropolitan University and CARL VPO Open Education) Sent on behalf of Rowena Wake —----------------------------- C’est avec grand plaisir que nous vous présentons le Code de bonnes pratiques en matière d'utilisation équitable des ressources éducatives libres <https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/ABRC_Code_Bonne_Practiq…> . Le code canadien, adapté de son équivalent américain, le Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Open Educational Resources <https://cmsimpact.org/code/open-educational-resources/#Code-of-Best-Practic…>, traite de l'application juridique et pratique de l'utilisation équitable dans le contexte de la création de ressources éducatives libres (REL) au Canada. Bien que le code ne constitue pas un avis juridique, il fournit un modèle raisonné et juridiquement défendable pour l'application de l'exception concernant l'utilisation équitable lors de la transposition dans les REL de contenus de tiers protégés par le droit d'auteur. Le code précise le contexte législatif et juridique canadien et fournit des exemples pratiques pertinents. Nous espérons que vos établissements et organisations utiliseront cette ressource et que vous la partagerez avec des collègues qui ne sont peut-être pas inscrits sur cette liste de diffusion.
