Invitation for your Physics & Psychology faculty

by Rajiv Jhangiani

Hello everyone, At BCcampus, we recently launched two COEPs (Communities of Open Education Practitioners), for Physics and Psychology. The idea behind creating these groups is to facilitate collaboration and sharing among like-minded disciplinary colleagues across different institutions, both within and beyond BC. This might, for example, involve proposing and peer reviewing revisions to within specific open textbooks, sharing ancillary teaching resources, or even helping identify the need for/collaboratively developing additional open educational resources. These groups are designed to be informal and, importantly, the level of involvement is entirely up to the individual. So, for example, an instructor may choose to draw on shared resources for their own teaching and assist colleagues by reviewing a newly-discovered open textbook. Or they may choose to propose the development of a question bank to support an open textbook, recruit collaborators, and apply to BCcampus for funding to support their project. In each case, we have created a Google Group to facilitate communication (this functions like a private listserv) and a private Hypothes.is group to facilitate sharing of annotations within specific open textbooks (click here if you are unfamiliar with social annotations). Anyone interested in joining a COEP should send an email to opentext(a)bccampus.ca. They will then be added to the Google Group and receive the link to join the private Hypothes.is group. Please feel free to share this email with interested colleagues. Thank you very much for your support of open education.

Open Pedagogy in History

by Ross, Heather

There is some interest in our Department of History to integrate open pedagogy. Many of their courses don’t use any textbooks so this is a good opening. A faculty member suggested that I find instructors of History at other universities using open pedagogy who might be willing to speak with the department. Does anyone have any suggestions? Heather M.

December meeting + opportunity to rethink

by Lena Patterson

Hi Canada OER, Happy fall! As discussed at our last get together we’re going to aim for early December for this next meeting. In the spirit of new year’s resolutions, I wonder if it might be worthwhile to set aside some time for a discussion about the value of the Canada OER group. What do we want the future to look like in terms of inter-provincial collaboration and connections? What role can this group play in making some of those opportunities a reality? Some food for thought as we head into 2018.

Fwd: [Openkpu] Textbooks too pricey? How does free sound?

by Amanda Coolidge

Congratulations to KPU- the first Zed Cred program in Canada! From: "Caroline Daniels" <Caroline.Daniels(a)kpu.ca> To: "Openkpu" <openkpu(a)mail.bccampus.ca> Sent: Wednesday, November 1, 2017 11:02:35 AM Subject: [Openkpu] Textbooks too pricey? How does free sound? This is very exciting new for Open Studies at KPU! Congrats to all of you who were so involved in getting this off the ground! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 1, 2017 KPU unveils sweet suite of courses with no-cost textbooks Metro Vancouver, B.C. – Students at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) are about to save thousands of dollars on their education, thanks to dozens of courses that don’t require expensive, commercial textbooks. Launched Nov. 1, the courses are part of KPU’s Zed Cred program, which is the first of its kind in Canada. The "Z" in Zed Cred refers to zero textbook costs and the “Cred” refers to an entire degree program, in this case KPU’s certificate of arts credential. “Even a single textbook can cost well over $100, which means a student can spend thousands of dollars on textbooks on top of the cost of tuition during their post-secondary career,” said Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani, a university teaching fellow in open studies and psychology instructor. KPU has launched close to 50 courses in the Faculty of Arts that use either free open textbooks or free library materials that are available online. Third-year KPU psychology student Bethany Borkowski is already planning to take three Zed Cred courses in counselling psychology, sociology, and journalism. Borkowski estimates she’s spent about $700 on textbooks to date, despite buying mostly old and used editions. “The high cost of textbooks limits university learning to those who have accessibility and the financial resources available to cover additional costs,” says Borkowski. “ I know many people who do not buy textbooks because of the cost, and they miss out on valuable information for a course.” In fact, Jhangiani recently published his research showing that 54 per cent of BC post-secondary students do not purchase at least one of their required course textbooks because of cost. The introduction of Zed Cred means Borkowski will no longer have to guess what page an instructor is referring to due to differences in their respective textbook editions, she’ll have access to her materials anywhere, and she won’t have to carry any heavy tomes around with her. Borkowski says open educational resources also make courses much more engaging. “Instead of just reading from a textbook, we had access to more resources online through hyperlinks in the text and suggested readings from the instructor.” KPU’s Zed Cred was made possible thanks to a $35,000 grant from BCcampus to adopt and adapt pre-existing free online open education resources as well as create new ones. KPU also received an Open Education Resource Grant, which matches BCcampus funding with KPU funding for creating new open textbooks, redesigning existing resources, and providing workshops, training and other support services. KPU is already the leading institutional adopter of open textbooks in B.C. “KPU is a proudly open access university,” notes Dr. Diane Purvey, dean of the Faculty of Arts. “Zed Cred is in complete alignment with our mission to create pathways to enable all learners to become successful.” For more information, visit [ http://link.email.dynect.net/link.php?DynEngagement=true&H=w8Bl7ZSLqC%2BFFE… | http://www.kpu.ca/arts/zedcred ] .
