Summary of results: Estimating time needed to create and maintain OER textbooks

by Jessica Norman

Thanks to Rich Hershman, Shauna Roch, and Justine Munds for sending information on this topic. Summary of Results Fanshawe College: “In the colleges we compensate full-time faculty through a course release and part time faculty through a curriculum development contract to the equivalent of the FT folks. This works out to about 6 hrs a week for a 14-week semester and 12 hrs during the condensed 7-week summer term. We provide all the support, and the faculty member is responsible for the content. We take an agile approach where the faculty is delivering one chapter per week, and we are building in pressbooks right behind them.” https://fanshawec.libguides.com/c.php?g=724582&p=5205170 Clackamas Community College: The college has developed a chart<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O5pnfB0Y-SVJQnjle-qIvV6D-6cbW6gfP1zWzeI…> that summarizes the number of hours per week for different types of OER projects. Hours range from 1-3 hours/week for 1 term to adopt an OER, up to 6-9 hours/week for 3 terms to author a completely new OER.

New OER: Stitched - sewing techniques, how-to, and more

by Amanda Grey

Hi everyone! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Stitched sewing techniques, how-to, and more By: Heather Clark and Catherine Hay [cid:image001.jpg@01D9E7B7.0B888CB0] Within the fashion, sewing, and textile classrooms it is a challenge to find a textbook on the topic of sewing that covers the range of skills and techniques taught within these learning spaces. Typically to supplement student learning, handouts will be utilized along with in-class, and in-person demos. The open-source and online format of this OER will enable educators to continually update the resource to meet current student needs, learning outcomes, and reflect best practices within the apparel and fashion industry. Content in this OER supports skills and knowledge learned within the classroom while providing supportive resources for learners. This open-source learning resource contains details and step-by-step instructions, supported with images, videos, and text. This resource will be continually worked on, with videos, text, and information being added. The vision for this resource is to provide learning resources to the sewing community – an array of learners, with multiple ways of ‘how-to’.

Estimating time needed to create and maintain OER textbooks

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, This message is cross-posted. I've had a request to provide estimates for the number of faculty hours that are required for both creation of a new OER textbook and ongoing maintenance of an existing work. This information will be used to develop budget numbers for offloads. I know the hours can vary greatly based on topic, technology, and format! But, I believe I have seen grant programs that include an assumption of the number of hours funded. Any information about how you estimate the amount of time allocated for large projects would be appreciated, especially in the area of business. Thanks in advance!

New OER: ¡Voy en camino! Spanish Language and Intercultural Learning

by Amanda Grey

Hi everyone! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: ¡Voy en camino! Spanish Language and Intercultural Learning Written by: Constanza Rojas-Primus and Ana Robles Primary Subject: Language learning: grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation [cid:image001.png@01D9DB48.6B316DB0] ¡Voy en camino! means “I’m on my way” in Spanish. Since learning an additional language and the culture is a journey in itself, ¡Voy en camino! captures the voyage to get there. ¡Voy en camino! has been created to serve the first two introductory Spanish language courses at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) and to solidify our commitment to Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC). All units of study are designed to be interactive with embedded audio, videos and links for learners to practice the material along the way. Learners can self-pace and self-test their knowledge both individually and with the assistance of an instructor. ¡Voy en camino! has plenty of opportunities to practice writing and speaking with downloadable capabilities becoming a Spanish teaching and learning tool that promotes and supports sustainable renewable learning. With its digital format and open publication ¡Voy en camino! is also meant to join the Spanish teaching open education community and provide access to learning to interested users along the way.

Contemporary Issues in Collection Management open textbook Inbox

by Michael McNally

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of Kelsey Cameron, Chelsea Chiovelli, Danielle Deschamps, Marty Grande-Sherbert, Sadaf Hakimizadeh, Andrew Ip, Olesya Komarnytska, Amy Nowakowsky, Winston Pei, Nicole Pope, Reis Pouliot, Melissa Ramsey, Julia Sieben, Maia Trotter, Grace Turnbull, Kat Voy, Dandi Wang, and Faye Willauer, I am pleased to announce the publication of the openly licensed, textbook *Contemporary Issues in Collection Management (CIiCM) <https://openeducationalberta.ca/ciicm/>*. This Pressbooks OER is made available thanks to Open Education Alberta and University of Alberta Libraries. *CIiCM* examines several different issues in collection management. Topics covered include physical vs. digital collections; the impact of BookTok on collections; challenges to 2SLGBTQ+ collections ; ebook licensing; ebook pricing; accessible collections for users with physical disabilities; accessible collections for users with invisible disabilities; "just in time"/demand-driven acquisitions; climate change and collections and research data collections. *CIiCM* also demonstrates the power and potential of open education and open pedagogy. Arising from a need to move beyond disposable assignments (Wiley, 2013) and also in recognition of the Association of College and Research Libraries’ *Framework for Information Literacy* *for Higher Education* (ACRL, 2016), the book demonstrates the role students can play as contributors to scholarly discussions and resources. *Contemporary Issues in Collection Management* had its genesis in the in person class LIS 531 Collection Management from the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta in the Fall 2022 semester. While the Collections Management class served as the spring board for the book, all of the authors here have had to contribute their own voluntary labour outside of the classroom to further developing their work for *CIiCM*.

Fwd: Call for fellows (update, Canadian applications encouraged!)

by Verena Roberts

I apologize for any cross-posting. Please share this information about open fellowship opportunities. This is an exciting opportunity for US and Canadian Open Educators ! Verena Roberts ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Clinton-Lisell, Virginia <virginia.clinton(a)und.edu> Date: Tue, May 2, 2023 at 9:20 AM Subject: Call for fellows (update, Canadian applications encouraged!) To: oer-research-fellows(a)googlegroups.com < oer-research-fellows(a)googlegroups.com> We are seeking applicants for the next cohort! I would really appreciate it if you would share the call for applications below in your professional networks. The Open Education Group thanks to generous support from the Hewlett foundation is seeking to support early career researchers to conduct studies in open education (what is open education, click here <https://sparcopen.org/open-education/>) through the open education research fellowship. The purpose is to support education professionals to develop their open education scholarship ideas into published works. Specifically, this fellowship seeks to provide mentorship, community, and some financial support to carry out their ideas in open education research. Financial support includes attendance at the Open Education Conference in 2023 (November 7-9, virtual) and 2024 (in person in the United States, TBD). The fellowship will also pay for article processing charges to allow for publications developed in this fellowship to be publicly available (around $3,000). In addition, fellows will receive a stipend of $1200 per article submitted prior to January 15, 2025, based on their fellowship work. Applications will be assessed based on its potential contribution to open education, feasibility, and novelty. In the application, prospective fellows will be asked to explain how your proposed research project would be relevant to diversity, inclusion, equity, and access to education. Applicants should have some prior research training and will be asked to list their previous research coursework. For the purpose of this fellowship, the following groups are considered early career researchers: doctoral graduate student (PhD, EdD, PsyD, DSW, DNP, DBA), postdoctoral researchers, pre-tenure faculty, teaching-track/clinical faculty (including librarians), and faculty at teaching-intensive institutions (liberal arts, community colleges, regional institutions, etc.), K-12 administrators and teachers, and public education employees. Full or part time status applicants are eligible. Tenured faculty at research institutions (R1 or R2) would generally not be considered early career researchers. Please feel free to contact Virginia Clinton-Lisell with questions about eligibility at virginia.clinton(a)und.edu. Note, due to legal reasons, we can only offer this fellowship to early career researchers working in the United States/Canada. If you have a work visa for the United States or Canada, please check with your visa guidelines regarding payment eligibility from the fellowship prior to applying. While this fellowship is limited to US and Canadian residents, we strongly encourage research projects with global perspectives, particularly in the Global South.

Introducing "Making Ripples": A Practical Handbook for Implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in OER.

by Kaitlin Schilling

Hi all, this message is cross-posted Rebus Community is thrilled to share our latest resource, Making Ripples: A Guidebook to Challenge the Status Quo in OER Creation <https://press.rebus.community/MakingRipples/>. Making Ripples is an open peer-reviewed and edited OER, created from programming insights from Rebus’ work with partners in Louisiana and Massachusetts. The Guide is designed to support educators in reframing their practices with care in an encouraging, conversational tone and includes examples for a wide range of OER resources and authors. The Guide is structured in five interconnected parts that build off one another, and contains opportunities for educators to reflect on their practice, identify strategies for action, and connect with resources and community members. In doing so, readers will create ripple effects of positive change in education and beyond. Our thanks go to all participants, facilitators, and partners in the Textbook Success Program cohorts in Louisiana (in the Interactive OER for Dual Enrollment project) and Massachusetts (via the Remixing Open Textbooks through an Equity Lens grant), as well as The Hewlett Foundation for funding this work. Our gratitude also to all of you readers and community for the supportive culture of sharing and learning! We hope this resource will be useful to you in different ways.

OER in Institutional Repositories

by Fields, Erin

Hello, I have a question related to how people deal with open educational resources in their institutional repositories. We are trying to work through some details at UBC about how to efficiently describe OER in our institutional repository that prioritizes research materials. We were wondering if folks have suggestions for the following: Are there any best practices/processes you use for the metadata? Do you have particular Dublin Core fields and descriptors, keywords you use, or descriptive information that makes it easier to find within your repository? Thanks for any help you can give! Erin

New OER: Gender in Canada - A Companion Workbook

by Amanda Grey

Hello! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Gender in Canada: A Companion Workbook Edited by: Rebecca Yoshizawa Primary Subjects: Gender studies, gender groups [cid:image001.png@01D95C98.D7F0FEE0] This workbook is designed for first or second-year sociology of gender or gender studies courses, focusing on the Canadian context. It is divided into five topics - Theory and Concepts, Institutions, Work, Family and Intimate Relationships, and Bodies and Health. This workbook does not replace a textbook, instructor teachings through lectures, class discussion, class assignments, or other standard undergraduate course materials. Instead, this is an activity book: a course companion, working alongside and with those course materials. It is designed to build competency, capacity, and confidence with course materials, concepts, and arguments. It does this by embracing the concepts of embodied learning, iterative scaffolding, and reflexive insight. "Embodied" means doing things with your body and not just your mind; "scaffolding" means breaking things down into constituent parts that can be gathered together to build something bigger; and "reflexive" means thinking about oneself in relation to broad concepts and contexts around us. The workbook presents four types of content. (1) Each chapter has one or two pages of written content deemed "Insights to Think About," which are summative guides to help students grab onto big ideas. (2) The chapters also have "Words to Try," encouraging a usable lexicon. (3) Chapters have thoughtfully designed "Activities." The activities help students to get ideas down, give those ideas meaning and order, and prepare students to do more engaged work in course conversations and higher-stakes assignments. (4) Finally, each section ends with "My Insights On," where students can record their "big picture" ideas and things they want to explore more in their course discussions and other assignments.

March 9 - Bringing Open Pedagogy to Life with Karen Cangialosi

by Karen Meijer-Kline

Next week for Open Education Week KPU is proud to host Open Pedagogy expert Karen Cangialosi for a talk on: Bringing Open Pedagogy to Life Open Pedagogy contextualizes learning in a larger world outside of the classroom making education more relevant, inclusive, equitable and accessible. It enables students to leverage open licenses in order to contribute to the knowledge commons and engage in dialogue with the wider public; but it also supports them to take greater ownership of how and what they learn. By prioritizing connection and community over methodology and content, students in open pedagogy classrooms use a critical lens in their use of digital tools for discovery, creativity and analysis. Open Pedagogy also means trusting students and supporting especially the most marginalized to find and raise their voices, and it can mean empowering students to be the change agents that they would like to be in the world. Thursday March 9, 3-4 pm (PST) online via Teams. Register by emailing open(a)kpu.ca<mailto:open@kpu.ca> or by replying to this email. This event is open to everyone, so please share widely! ________________________________ Karen Meijer-Kline Chair and Scholarly Communications Librarian e Karen.Meijer-Kline(a)kpu.ca<mailto:Todd.Mundle@kpu.ca> she/her/hers kpu.ca/library<http://www.kpu.ca/library> Kwantlen Polytechnic University ► Where thought meets action

Looking for OER equivalent to "CPhA Guide to Drugs"

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, SAIT's Pharmacy Technician program has been using Canadian Pharmacists Association Guide to Drugs in Canada<https://www.dk.com/ca/book/9781553632931-cpha-guide-to-drugs/> as a textbook. (It's a very specialized drug reference manual that they really like because of the level the content is written at as well as because it's Canada-specific.) However, the book is now out of print, and we've had no success contacting the copyright holder to license the sections they use for classes. We've shared the Canadian nursing pharmacology book<https://opentextbc.ca/nursingpharmacology/> with the faculty, but it was not a good fit. I'm hoping this group might know of any other resources on this topic. Any info is appreciated!

Since time immemorial, this region was a traditional gathering place for the tribes of the Blackfoot Confederacy. We are meeting/gathered on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which, today encompasses the Indigenous people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta: the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina, the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the Northwest Métis Homeland - Region 3.
