New open resources from University of Regina

by Open Textbooks

Good morning, The OER Program at the University of Regina is pleased to announce the publication of the following resources: Cree Dictionary of Mathematics Terms with Visual Examples This resource provides Cree equivalents of 176 mathematics terms and their definition in English. The visual examples mainly contain Indigenous elements. The Dictionary was reviewed by Elders, Indigenous Knowledge Keepers and Cree-speaking educators. The resource can be accessed at the link https://opentextbooks.uregina.ca/creemathdictionary/ [https://opentextbooks.uregina.ca/creemathdictionary/] An Introduction to Geological Field Trips: Case Study Avonlea Badlands, Saskatchewan This resource emerged out of the passion of a few people for fieldwork. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a real need to replace actual field trips - forbidden during the pandemic - with something else that will give students a taste of fieldwork. More than being the conclusion, this project wants to be the inspiration that will carry the student out of the classroom and into the field. The resource can be accessed at the link https://opentextbooks.uregina.ca/geology240labmanual/. [https://opentextbooks.uregina.ca/creemathdictionary/] Computer Science Lab Update CS 100 CS100 covers the basics of computer literacy, managing files, spreadsheets and website design for non-programmers. Note that this resource is an openly licensed webpage. The resource can be accessed at the link http://www2.cs.uregina.ca/~cs100/ [https://opentextbooks.uregina.ca/creemathdictionary/] Computer Science Lab Updates CS 110 CS110 Provides an introduction to the C++ programming language, problem solving, running, testing, and debugging code, and other foundational skills required by all programmers.

Decolonizing Introductory Psychology: Request for Resources

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, A special taskforce from the Society for the Teaching of Psychology is requesting resources used to decolonize the teaching of introductory psychology. If you include elements in your introductory psychology course that aim to decolonize and/or indigenize the course, they would love to hear about it. You can share your resources using the Decolonizing Introductory Psychology Google Form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScLBsw_F5cWGrABppfTpy85Vpbxn7gA6mE…>, where you may also find descriptions of real examples of decolonized psychology resources and pedagogy. Resources might include: * Class activities * Assignments * Lecture content * Suggested readings * Syllabus structure * Tips and tricks for reconceptualizing core theories and concepts in psychology Currently, there is no deadline for sharing resources.

Looking for research on OER impact on students in Economics courses

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows of published journal articles, book chapters, etc. that focus on the impact on students of OER use in Economics courses? (Instructor is interested in Introductory Economics, but I'm happy to give them any type of Economics or even Business courses at this point.) Searching Google, Google Scholar, and article databases using terms such as "economics" is not working well, as I'm not only running into OER textbooks but also analysis of economic impact of OER programs, neither of which is helpful. Any leads are greatly appreciated!

Question About Tracking OER Usage

by Ross, Heather

I have a question related to tracking OER usage. We have a few courses where students aren't required to buy texts because of the way the course was designed but have started using open textbooks to provide students with a resource they may find useful. One example is one of our Engineering courses. There is no book required, but the instructor is going to include the new Guide to using MATLAB open textbook so students have a resource they may find useful in that course. My question is, would you count the students in those courses in your "students benefitting from OER" numbers or do you limit those numbers to only cases where a commercial textbook is being replaced thus saving students money? Thank you. Heather M.

Notice: Pressbooks versions of OpenStax books to be archived

by Josie Gray

Dear Open Community, I am writing to let you know that BCcampus will be archiving the Pressbooks versions of OpenStax books that we have hosted in our Pressbooks instance since 2019. They will be taken down officially on July 29, 2022. Right now, all of these books have notices at the top of the webbook that points people to the up to date version of the book by OpenStax. (The date on the notice says July 6, but we have extended the availability of these Pressbooks copies it to the end of the month). We have decided to archive these versions for two reasons: 1. A number of formatting errors were introduced during the original import from OpenStax. As such, a lot of clean up work is needed to make these books usable. 2. The books are now quite out of date and we are unable to update them. In addition, OpenStax has published new editions for a number of them. We want to make sure people are referring to the most up to date versions in their courses. If you would like to copy any of these books into your own Pressbooks instance, you are welcome to clone them. They will be available until July 29. You can find all of the books at the following link: Pressbooks Versions of OpenStax books – Hosted by opentextbc.ca<https://pressbooks.directory/?net=BCcampus%20Open%20Publishing&pub=OpenStax> Let me know if you have any questions!

New open resource

by Open Textbooks

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know about a new open resource released by the OER Program earlier this month. The use of open education is growing and has become a global movement. Across much of North America, most post-secondary institutions are in the process of integrating the use of open education resources into their teaching and learning activities. The number of OER repositories from which instructors can draw resources continues to grow each year. The number of resources continues to grow along with the number of different tools used to develop these resources. There are a number of commercial and open source digital technologies available for the creation of open resources. This resource is intended to provide the OER community with a summary of some currently available tools for creating open content. OER creators need to know the range of tools that can be used in the creation process. This guide is designed to provide a starting point for instructors and faculty at post-secondary institutions. Prospective creators of OER can use the guide to pick the most appropriate tool for their specific context and level of technical expertise. The flyer for the resource is also attached to this message.

Some personal news

by Rajiv Jhangiani

A bit of personal news, friends: I have accepted an offer to serve as Brock University’s new Vice Provost, Teaching and Learning from August 1: https://brocku.ca/brock-news/2022/06/brock-appoints-rajiv-jhangiani-as-new-… As you may know, I have worked at KPU for a long time, starting originally in 2007. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to support our university community in a variety of ways over the years. Naturally, I am most proud of KPU’s leadership in open education, but it has also been a special joy to support our educators through the pandemic and to work to redesign our support systems and programs to be more inclusive, supportive, and humane. Although I am sad to leave such a wonderful group of humans, I am gratified to leave the Teaching & Learning Commons in a position of strength and I have great confidence in their ability to continue to exceed expectations and to raise the bar for teaching and learning, under the leadership of my dear colleague Dr. Leeann Waddington, who will serve as interim AVP, Teaching and Learning. I am so looking forward to joining the Brock community, where I will lead their Centre for Pedagogical Innovation as well as their Co-op, Career, and Experiential Education department. It will be a special joy to join forces with Giulia Forsythe, Matt Clare, and Cara Krezek and to collaborate with colleagues across the Ontario post-secondary community. My mandate will also include advancing equity within the university’s academic operations, which as you might imagine is an incredible enticing prospect for me. My role comes with a faculty appointment in Educational Studies, with a cross-appointment in Psychology, and so I am also excited about continuing my scholarly work. Brock is a special place that cares deeply about teaching and learning and the student experience. Its gorgeous campus is located within a UNESCO biosphere reserve in the Niagara region of Ontario, Canada, on the traditional lands of the Anishnaabe and Haudenosaunee. My conversations with my new teams as well as the leadership at Brock throughout the application process have been wonderful and incredibly warm and affirmed for me that this opportunity is very much in alignment with my values. I look forward to continuing to work alongside the Canada OER community in my new role. With gratitude, Rajiv

Design Thinking for OER? (was: Resources for Librarians)

by Enkerli, Alexandre

* Who here’s using “Design Thinking” when adopting and adapting OERs? Thanks for sharing that material below, Gordana! The workflows make me reflect upon some important trends in the OE movement. Two of which we could combine into something powerful, it sounds like. On one hand, deeper OER work (integrating in curricula, making projects sustainable…). On the other, “Design Thinking” (loosely defined). More specifically, I get to wonder if the empathetic, iterative, and agile dimensions of Learning Experience Design are making their way into how we all deal with the openness of our learning material. After all, we insist that it’s only “open” if people can modify it. In other words… How Might We leverage both openness and human-driven innovation to improve learning experiences? I realize this might be “beyond scope” for this list… or for this time of year. It’s just that… As learning pros think about the next academic year, there might be an opportunity to set up some new practices. Away from monolithic material and ADDIE.

by Karen Nicholson

Biligual message // Message bilingue Call for Expressions of Interest to CARL's Open Education Working Group<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/call-for-expressions-of-interest-to-carls-ope…> In 2019, CARL identified open education leadership as an important area for capacity building within its institutions and outlined activities and programs designed to bolster this emerging area of practice and support the development of national leadership in this arena. The Open Education Working Group<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…> is responsible for these activities and programs. CARL is currently in the process of membership renewal for this working group. We are therefore seeking expressions of interest from those involved in open education at Canadian institutions interested in serving on the group. Terms will begin in July 2022 and end in June 2024. For more information on the proposed activities of the group, consult the Draft Terms of Reference<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QmEfEI2IdKg9_cV1f0uTcKhCyS_jjAGFEC1DHXj…> for the second mandate of the group. CARL encourages equitable participation in all of our working groups. Members will be selected based on geographic, linguistic, expertise, and diversity, equity and inclusion considerations. Ability to understand both French and English will be deemed an asset. The working group will be chaired by a member of CARL’s Advancing Research Committee, currently Joy Kirchner. Please send nominations or expressions of interest to Karen Nicholson at karen.nicholson(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:karen.nicholson@carl-abrc.ca> no later than Friday, June 24, 2022.

Please indicate that you have received endorsement from your library director (or equivalent) in your expression of interest. If you have any questions about this working group, please feel free to contact me at karen.nicholson(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:karen.nicholson@carl-abrc.ca> . *** Appel de candidatures pour le Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/nouvelles/appel-de-candidatures-pour-le-groupe-…> En 2019, l’ABRC a désigné le leadership en éducation ouverte comme un domaine important de renforcement des capacités au sein de ses établissements.

Looking for 2SLGBTQ+ Educational Materials

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, The EDI Council at my institution is looking to develop workshops on 2SLGBTQ+ topics. They were hoping that other organizations have made open licensed resources available on topics such as basic EDI and 2SLGBTQ+ terminology, allyship, workplace inclusion, etc. I've looked at the typical educational repositories, and also searched via Google. I have found content that is accessible (linkable) but copyrighted. I thought I would ask if anyone knew of any organizations or nonprofits that might have open licensed content. Thanks for any and all assistance, Jessica [cid:image001.png@01D87C0E.059225C0] Jessica Norman, MLS Open Educational Resources Librarian Reg Erhardt Library Liaison to: Construction, Manufacturing & Automation SAFA Table Officer, Division IV (She/Her) Book an appointment<https://sait.libcal.com/appointment/16446> Southern Alberta Institute of Technology Stand Grad Building, MC113 (Office) 403.210.4073 jessica.norman(a)sait.ca<mailto:jessica.norman@sait.ca> Oki, Amba'wastitch, Danit'ada, Tân'si, Hello.

Re: [Canadaoer] Looking for 2SLGBTQ+ Educational Materials

by Hendricks, Christina

Hi Jessica, Staff from the UBC Vancouver Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology have collaborated with the Equity and Inclusion Office on creating resources housed on an Inclusive Teaching website: https://inclusiveteaching.ctlt.ubc.ca/resources/resources-for-faculty/ I believe most resources there are CC licensed. If some aren’t labeled as such, I am happy to check and see if they can be reused! If you click on “gender identity” you’ll find some focused on trans inclusivity. I don’t know that we have anything on other 2SLGBTQ+ topics. There are some related to EDI broadly considered, and also a set of five inclusive teaching modules<https://canvas.ubc.ca/courses/31444> that some of our staff worked on with folks from Queens University that might have some information of interest. The UBC Equity and Inclusion Office has a list of terminology on their Positive Space Campaign pages<https://equity.ubc.ca/resources/positive-space/positive-space-language/>, but this doesn’t seem to be openly licensed. I hope some of this may be helpful!

alternative to Pearson MyLab IT?

Recent Report: The Growth of Online Learning and Digital Learning Resources in Canadian PSE

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, Just wanted to share this report that includes research related to OER: The Growth of Online Learning and Digital Learning Resources in Canadian Post-Secondary Education<http://www.cdlra-acrfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/2021_special-topics_en…> (2021) released by the Canadian Digital Learning Research Association. In a presentation, the author did emphasis that these were self-reported results of institutional staff's perceptions of faculty and students, not questions posed directly to faculty or students. Not surprisingly, their conclusions around OER were "the findings presented in this report show a need for institutions to provide more OER awareness initiatives, as well as training and support for OER use."
