Hi all,
In the spring of 2024, the four Atlantic provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, through the Council of Atlantic Ministers of Education and Training (CAMET) invested in a 3-year pilot program to support efforts to increase the adoption, adaptation, and creation of OER in the Atlantic region. As the first year of the pilot comes to a close, we are celebrating the progress we have made. More information can be found on the AtlanticOER News Page<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/2025/03/05/year-in-review-atlanticoer-…>.
This has been an exciting year of progress, and I cannot wait to see what the next two years of the pilot bring!
Best,
Alexandra

CAAL members sit on unceded and traditional territories of the Mi’kmaq, Beothuk, Innu, Inuit, Wəlastəkwiyik, and Peskotomuhkati Peoples. "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" were first signed in 1725 between the British Crown and the Mi'kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyk Peoples. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources, but recognized Mi'kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyk title, and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We acknowledge with respect the diverse histories and cultures of the First Peoples of this region, and we express our gratitude as guests on this land.
Les membres du CBPA siègent sur des territoires traditionnels des peuples Mi’kmaq, Beothuk, Innue, Inuit, Wəlastəkwiyik et Peskotomuhkati. Les « Traités de paix et d’amitié » ont été signés pour la première fois en 1725 entre la Couronne britannique et les peuples Mi’kmaq et Wəlastəkwiyk. Ces traités ne portaient pas sur la cession de terres et de ressources, mais reconnaissaient en fait les titres Mi’kmaq et Wəlastəkwiyk, et portaient sur l’établissement de règles pour ce qui devait être une relation continue entre les nations. Nous reconnaissons avec respect les diverses histoires et cultures des premiers peuples de cette région, et nous exprimons notre gratitude en tant qu'invités sur cette terre.
The STLHE conference is being held in Saskatoon June 10-13. It would be good to get those of us active in open together at some point during the conference. If you are planning to attend, please drop me an email.
Thank you.

Hey OER list,
I'm hoping for some advice, although I think it's likely that the answer to my question is that there's something weird going on in the conversion process that only the folks with access to the source files can fix.
I've been working with a group on campus who has created cookbooks in PDF and fixed layout epub format, and they would like to get the books into Pressbooks. They hired a designer for the pdf and epub on a contract, and that person is no longer working with them. The source files they have are nicely laid out with lots of pictures.
We can import the epub into Pressbooks, but whenever we do it gets super junky (example<https://books.lib.uoguelph.ca/plantbasedproteins/chapter/plant-based_easy_p…>), while the pdf looks like this<https://guelphfamilyhealthstudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Plant-Based-…> (page 31). It's definitely possible it could be the fault of Pressbooks, but I also took a look at the epub files and when I open them in Digital Editions they also have issues, though the issues are mostly to do with fonts, and are not visible in Books on a mac.
Does anyone have any advice for troubleshooting / still getting this content into Pressbooks, or is it a bit of a lost cause?
Best wishes,
Jordan

The Open Pedagogy Cookbook
Apologies for cross-posting. Please share widely!
Title: The Open Pedagogy Cookbook
Editor: Melissa Chim
Publisher: ACRL
Chapter Proposals due May 2, 2025
I’m excited to invite chapter proposals for The Open Pedagogy Cookbook, an
edited volume to be published by ACRL! Please email me at
mchim(a)excelsior.edu with any questions.
About the book:
Open pedagogy promotes students as active creators of information, rather
than passive consumers of it. It relies on the use and creation of Open
Educational Resources (OER). In place of “throw away” assignments, open
pedagogy allows students to engage with meaningful and relevant assignments
that will be preserved for future audiences. These assignments can elevate
student participation and give students valuable skills to take with them
to the workforce.
This edited volume contains lesson plans, resources, and inspiration from
librarians who have successfully implemented open pedagogy at their
institutions. Whether your campus is just beginning its open education
journey or has multiple OER champions, this book is for you!
Call for Chapter Proposals:
Proposals are invited from librarians who champion open pedagogy at their
institutions in various ways. Final chapters/recipes need to thoroughly
describe a replicable lesson plan or activity and are typically between
1,000 and 2,500 words.
The book is tentatively organized in four parts, each dealing with a
different aspect of open pedagogy: 1) Library instruction, 2) Technology,
3) Open Licensing, and 4) Resources & Sustainability. This section list is
tentative so please do not feel limited in your creativity!
Part I Rolling up your sleeves: Library instruction
This section will focus on chapters that talk about using open pedagogy in
library instruction. These can include one shot presentations, semester
long library projects, and more!
Same topics can include:
Posting to Wikipedia
Social annotation assignments
Video series
Creating a glossary
Part II A lid for every pot: Technology
This section will focus on technology related to open pedagogy
assignments. Chapters
may focus on any technology used and its implications for open pedagogy as
a whole.
Sample topics can include:
Using Pressbooks/LibreText/Manifold/other publishing platforms
Using Hypothesis
Using Padlet
Using Generative AI and LLMs(ex. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc)
Accessibility
Part III Potluck: Open Licensing
This section invites chapters on any aspects of Open Licensing, including
Creative Commons.
Sample topics can include:
Choosing a Creative Commons License
Rights Reversal
Other licensing options (such as in science publishing)
Part IV Taste testing: Sharing Resources and sustainability
This section will focus on sharing open pedagogy works and how to keep your
initiatives sustainable.
Sample topics can include:
Partnering with your library publishing platform
Utilizing your Institutional Repository
Student privacy and open pedagogy
Making your assignments sustainable
Preserving your work (ex: migrating platforms, changing jobs, etc)
Evaluation criteria:
Chapter proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria, as
listed in the rubric here: https://excelsior.libwizard.com/f/rubric
-
Relevance
-
Uniqueness
-
Implementation
Proposal instructions:
Please submit your proposals using the online form by May 2, 2025:
https://excelsior.libwizard.com/f/openpedagogy . The proposal should
include all contributing authors, a contact email for the main author, a
working title, what part you envision your chapter in, 3-5 keywords
describing your proposed topic, and a summary of your lesson plan or
learning activity.
Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 30th, 2025. Publication is
anticipated in 2027. Please email Melissa Chim at mchim(a)excelsior.edu with
any questions!

What are your plans for Open Education Week? (March 3 - 7, 2025)
Join us for a special online presentation by Dr. Cable Green, Director of Open Knowledge at Creative Commons.
Title: Shifting to Community Owned and Operated Open Knowledge
Date: Monday, March 3, 2025
Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm (SaskTime/ CST)
Register: https://uregina.libcal.com/event/3844645
Abstract: If we are going to solve the world’s most pressing challenges (e.g., climate change), the knowledge about those challenges must be open. This talk will explore what open knowledge structures society might need to ensure the knowledge components necessary for education and science – both critical elements in solving global challenges – are open by default. Open Education and Open Science both require significant, stable public funding. Both education and science are public goods and the production, reuse and revisions of education and science resources should be publicly funded and openly licensed to ensure educational opportunities for all. What might “Community Owned and Operated Open Education” look like? What are the barriers and the opportunities? What if funding currently spent on expensive commercial educational resources were redirected to support the creation, stewardship and sharing of effective OER in every discipline, in every grade level in multiple languages? What if we redirected existing public funding to create a sustained shared open learning infrastructure for the public good?

Good afternoon!The Library Publishing Forum
<https://librarypublishing.org/forum/> is an annual conference bringing
together representatives from libraries engaged in or considering
publishing initiatives to define and address major questions and
challenges; to identify and document collaborative opportunities; and to
strengthen and promote this community of practice. The Forum is sponsored
by the Library Publishing Coalition, but you do not need to be a member of
the LPC to attend.
The Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) is now accepting proposals
<https://goo.gl/forms/jpvJ32KbuuecvBqp1> for the 2025 Virtual Library
Publishing Forum being held from May 5-8, 2025. Proposals may address any
topic of interest to the library publishing community. The proposal
deadline is January 6, 2025.
Proposal submissions are welcome from LPC members and nonmembers, including
library employees, university press employees, scholars, students, and
other scholarly communication and publishing professionals. Again, we
welcome proposals from first-time presenters and representatives of small
and emerging publishing programs.
We are committed to expanding the diversity of perspectives we hear from at
the Library Publishing Forum. Working towards some of the “Continuing
Initiatives” from the LPC Roadmap for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and
Accessibility
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jgE7c4wS4D72DgtakhZ-IK8whO3hN_jQ/view?usp=…>,
we ask all proposals to explicitly address how they are inclusive of
multiple perspectives, address DEIA, or incorporate anti-racist and
anti-oppressive approaches. Presentations about specific communities should
include members of that community in their speaker list, and for sessions
with multiple speakers, we seek to avoid all-white and all-male panels.
Learn more and submit a proposal <https://librarypublishing.org/program/>.

Hello everyone,
It is with great joy that I share a report that I am proud to have co-authored with my collaborators Oya Pakkal<https://www.linkedin.com/in/oya-pakkal-8a38b9249/>, Catherine Lachaîne<https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherine-lacha%C3%AEne-51923791/>, and Robert Luke<https://www.linkedin.com/in/raluke/>. The report focuses on the capacity of Ontario's post-secondary institutions to support open educational practices and is based on a Province-wide survey of Ontario’s colleges, universities, and Indigenous institutes using our Institutional Self-Assessment (ISAT2) tool<https://inclusiveeducationlab.com/isat2/>. This research project was supported by an Insight Development Grant from the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada.
The report, which will be formally launched tomorrow at eCampusOntario's Technology + Education Seminar + Showcase<https://www.ecampusontario.ca/tessconference/> event at the Toronto Reference Library, is available online in English and French at:
https://www.ecampusontario.ca/on-a-path-to-open/https://www.ecampusontario.ca/fr/sur-la-voie-de-louverture/
Additional research is planned in other jurisdictions, including in British Columbia, in partnership with BCcampus. If you are interested in doing similar work in your institutional or regional context, please do reach out.

My working hours might vary substantially from yours. Please do not feel any pressure or obligation to respond to messages outside of your working hours.
Brock University is located on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. The territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Agreement. Today these lands are the home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples and acknowledging them reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
Hello,
Apologies for cross posting.
I have a faculty member who is looking for a new textbook for her Child Development 3rd year Psychology class. She has reviewed a number of open textbooks, and so far, she has found one textbook that is very promising: Understanding the Whole Child: Growth and Development Conception Through Adolescence<https://pressbooks.pub/scchildgrowthanddevelopment/>
However, she would still be interested if anyone has a favourite or one that they would really recommend for this course. Here is a brief course description:
This course provides an introduction to the process of development from conception to puberty. The major focuses are on developmental theory, descriptive changes in physical growth, cognition, language, social and emotional behaviour of children and applications of the research and theory.
Learning Goals:
At the conclusion of the course the student will be able to:
1. Describe the research methods associated with child development.
2. Explain the significance of heredity and environment on the developing child.
3. Describe the factors associated with physical development, prenatally through to puberty.
4. Describe the processes of cognitive development throughout childhood.
5. Describe the socio-emotional changes experienced by the infant through to puberty.
6. Explain how child developmental research can be applied to real life situations.
7. Explain contemporary issues in child development such as child abuse, attention-deficit disorder, special needs, and the role of television and video games.
Thanks so much for any suggestion of an open textbook you think would be particularly suitable.
Warm regards,
Debra

Dear Colleagues in the OER Community,
Are you looking for examples of what an image-intensive open textbook for the fine arts might look like in Pressbooks? After exploration and customization, we’re especially excited to share with you the following new open textbook published at Concordia University Library:
Title: Creating the Modern: Intersections of Art & Society in the Nineteenth Century
Authored by Loren Lerner and Karine Antaki
For the course: ARTH 366 Studies in 19th Century Art and Architecture
Creating the Modern by Loren Lerner and Karine Antaki is a visually rich open textbook for visual studies, art history, and nineteenth-century studies. “Topics such as class and gender, academism and the avant-garde, the reception and consumption of progressive art, the culture of spectatorship, psycho-social illness, Eurocentrism, and religious and racial prejudice encourage a multi-faceted understanding of how the narrative of nineteenth-century art is a narrative intrinsically attached to the problematics, and promise, of emerging modernity.” Read and view the resource<https://opentextbooks.concordia.ca/creating-the-modern/>

CAAL members sit on unceded and traditional territories of the Mi’kmaq, Beothuk, Innu, Inuit, Wəlastəkwiyik, and Peskotomuhkati Peoples. "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" were first signed in 1725 between the British Crown and the Mi'kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyk Peoples. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources, but recognized Mi'kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyk title, and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We acknowledge with respect the diverse histories and cultures of the First Peoples of this region, and we express our gratitude as guests on this land.
Les membres du CBPA siègent sur des territoires traditionnels des peuples Mi’kmaq, Beothuk, Innue, Inuit, Wəlastəkwiyik et Peskotomuhkati. Les « Traités de paix et d’amitié » ont été signés pour la première fois en 1725 entre la Couronne britannique et les peuples Mi’kmaq et Wəlastəkwiyk. Ces traités ne portaient pas sur la cession de terres et de ressources, mais reconnaissaient en fait les titres Mi’kmaq et Wəlastəkwiyk, et portaient sur l’établissement de règles pour ce qui devait être une relation continue entre les nations. Nous reconnaissons avec respect les diverses histoires et cultures des premiers peuples de cette région, et nous exprimons notre gratitude en tant qu'invités sur cette terre.
Our biology department would like to move to an OER for a course on genetics.

“Stop Generating”: Generative AI in the Contexts of Indigenous Studies
Date: Thursday, October 24, 2024
Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm
Location: Online
Generative AI has forced universities to contend with complex ethical and social questions—namely because writing is so deeply entrenched as an institutional gatekeeping. For many students, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds or for whom English is not a first language, the pressure to translate ideas into “proper” English contributes to attrition rates and exacerbates feelings of inadequacy, alienation, and exclusion from many academic communities.
From an equity and inclusion perspective, AI has the potential to disrupt institutional barriers by offering accessible tools that level the grammatical playing field. By functioning as virtual tutors or co-writers, AI systems can assist students in producing more polished and coherent prose, thus challenging the traditional hierarchies that privilege certain grammatical and stylistic norms. Instead of attempting to ban these tools (which is, to say the least, impractical), I side with a growing number of technology scholars who argue that we should focus on teaching students how to use generative AI responsibly and effectively. However, I do so with the caveat that teaching responsible AI use means critically engaging the complex and often messy processes that make AI what it is.
In this presentation, I draw from Indigenous theorists and authors to situate generative AI and large language models (LLMs) within a long colonial history of extraction. Just as colonial states declare Indigenous lands terra nullius, allowing settlers to exploit resources through mining, clear-cutting, and other forms of extraction, generative AI similarly depends on the unchecked extraction of data, including Indigenous knowledge and cultural resources, often without consent. The late Gregory Younging refers to this process as gnaritas nullius, the colonial rendering of Indigenous knowledge into public property. The unchecked extraction of writing, including, but not limited to, Indigenous knowledge, represents a new frontier for colonial capitalism, where cultural and intellectual property are commodified by those with the most access and power. As Nando de Freitas notes, the future of AI development depends on scale: those who control the largest datasets will have the greatest advantage and profit the most from AI. The numerous high-profile copyright cases against companies like OpenAI and Meta show that how this data is collected is treated as a secondary issue. This unbridled, dehumanizing race for data mirrors the extractive practices that have driven capitalist-colonial expansion for centuries. Building on these ideas, I mobilize the insights of Indigenous authors like Younging, Scott Lyons, and Cherie Dimaline to highlight strategies for resisting colonial extraction and challenging capitalist systems through rhetorical sovereignty and the concept of incommensurability. The goal is not to discourage the use of generative AI but, in the Faustian sense, to reveal the costs of embracing it, especially when it is employed to subvert oppressive institutional structures.

(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).

Hi Susan:
Sorry I was on a PD day yesterday so missed that call.
I just wanted to let you know that there is a general OER submission that
is being sent in as a Pre-Budget submission that Michael M. and I are
working on that is based on the CARL brief that has been sent through the
cross country listserv "BCcampus OER Listserv (canadaoer(a)lists.bccampus.ca)"
<canadaoer(a)lists.bccampus.ca>
This initiative was based on the request of Valerie Irvine last year to do
a wider submission. We do have some signatories and will be sending out a
final reminder today.
We are going to submit it tomorrow.

Plan stratégique de CAAL-CBPA: Objectif 6.3 Administrer un programme de subventions de développement des REL pour les éducateurs de la région.
Le Conseil des bibliothèques postsecondaires de l’Atlantique (CBPA)<https://caul-cbua.ca/> est heureux d’annoncer les bénéficiaires des subventions de développement RELAtlantique<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/fr/grants/> de cette année. Ces subventions visent à appuyer les éducateurs de la région de l’Atlantique dans l’adaptation, l’adoption, la création et la conservation de ressources éducatives libres (REL), et à accroître l’accès des élèves au matériel de cours. Grâce au financement du Conseil des ministres de l’Éducation et de la Formation de l’Atlantique (CAMEF), le programme de subventions de développement RELAtlantique a été élargi cette année. Un nouveau système de financement à plusieurs niveaux a été mis en place pour mieux soutenir la création de manuels (jusqu’à 7 000 $), l’adaptation (jusqu’à 3 500 $) et les projets de création de matériel auxiliaire (jusqu’à 1 000 $).
Les subventions visent à aider les éducateurs des établissements d’enseignement postsecondaire financés par la province à atteindre les objectifs suivants :
* Soutenir la création ou l’adaptation de manuels ouverts et de matériel auxiliaire, comme des diapositives PowerPoint, des banques de questionnaires, des images et d’autres outils d’étude ou d’aide interactive numériques;
* Créer une variété de REL à l’intention des éducateurs et des étudiants qui suivent des cours donnant droit à des crédits;
* Organiser des activités de soutien pour l’élaboration de contenu pour les REL, comme des sprints (une activité collaborative en personne ou virtuelle pour créer ou adapter un manuel ouvert ou des ressources auxiliaires); ou
* Distribuer des fonds afin de maximiser les avantages directs pour un large éventail d’apprenants et de chercheurs dans diverses disciplines.

CAAL-CBPA Strategic Plan: Goal 6.3 Administer an OER Development Grants Program for educators in the region.
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.

[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,

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!

Hello,
Like many of you, we are always looking for ways the Library can support faculty transitioning to OER or ZTC. I would like to hear from any libraries out there that have Library Technicians helping faculty and, if so, in what way? I’m aware of KPU’s OPUS<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> and that is naturally what we aspire to have one day 😊

Dear DOERS Members:
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest publication: "Valuing OER in the Tenure, Promotion, and Reappointment Process.<https://pressbooks.cuny.edu/tenureandpromotioncasestudies/>" This volume builds on DOERS' OER Contributions Matrix<https://www.doers3.org/tenure-and-promotion.html> delves into the vital intersection of Open Educational Resources (OER) and academic recognition processes. The volume contains 27 case studies from faculty, librarians, and administrators at a broad range of colleges and universities who are working through the tenure, promotion, and reappointment process themselves, supporting others as they do so, or both.
In today's academic landscape, incentivizing faculty involvement in OER initiatives is more critical than ever. However, traditional approaches often fall short. That's where "Valuing OER" steps in, offering innovative strategies and real-world case studies to bridge the gap between OER work and institutional recognition.
Explore the challenges, successes, and actionable insights within this publication, as it navigates themes such as mapping activities to institutional standards, tracking impact, leveraging the scholarship of teaching and learning, networking for collaboration, and much more.
Please share this publication as widely as possible!
Best,
Annika

CAAL Strategic Plan: Strategy 6.0 Advance awareness and adoption of Open Educational Resources (OERs) in the Atlantic Region.
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.”

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 ».

We are excited to announce the third annual offering of The Open Education
Talks <https://oetalks.opened.ca/>, first offered in 2022 as The Open
Pedagogy Talks, a series of lightning talks focusing on open education in
postsecondary institutions. These 15-minute talks will be about facets of
open education, including open pedagogy and learning, utilizing open
educational resources, and integrating open strategies in higher education.
These talks aim to create an accessible, virtual space to engage in
conversations about open education. For these talks, we share our
understanding of open education from the UNESCO Cape Town Declaration:
“…open education is not limited to just open educational resources. It also
draws upon open technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible
learning and the open sharing of teaching practices that empower educators
to benefit from the best ideas of their colleagues'' (UNESCO Cape Town
Declaration, 2018).
Sessions will focus on open education initiatives, projects, and programs
related to:
-
Exploring Open Education: These talks focus on the facets of open
education, why it has been impactful in higher education, and examples in
higher education.
-
Open Learning Design: These talks focus on integrating open learning
principles into current and future program and course designs.
-
Creating Open Educational Resources: These talks focus on creating,
identifying, using, and sharing open educational resources in higher
education.
-
Open Scholarship and Research Practices: These talks focus on how
educators and learners integrate open research into their courses and
scholarship of teaching and learning practices.
Talks Schedule: Every Wednesday in March 2024 at 12:00 PM MST. Please see
the website <https://oetalks.opened.ca/> for an updated schedule.

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

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.
Nous tenons à remercier les auteurs du code américain ainsi que les
spécialistes canadiens de la propriété intellectuelle, du droit d'auteur et
de l'éducation ouverte ayant contribué de diverses manières à ce travail.
Pour plus d'informations sur ce code et d'autres, inscrivez-vous au

Hi everyone!
I’m excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU:
Introduction to Marketing
Adapted by Pamela Ip
Introduction to Marketing teaches the experience and process of actually doing marketing - not just the vocabulary. It carries five dominant themes throughout in order to expose students to marketing in today's environment: Service dominant logic, sustainability, ethics and social responsibility, global coverage, and metrics.
This is an adaptation of Principles of Marketing<https://open.lib.umn.edu/principlesmarketing/>

Kwantlen Polytechnic University ► Where thought meets action
We at Kwantlen Polytechnic University respectfully acknowledge that we work, live, and study in a region that overlaps with the unceded, traditional and ancestral lands of the xwməθkwəyə̓ m (Musqueam), qi̓ cə̓ y̓ (Katzie), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo), scə̓ waθən (Tsawwassen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), Kwikwetlem, and the lands of the qw̓ ɑ:nƛ̓ ə̓ n̓ (Kwantlen) First Nation, which gifted its name to this university.
In the cause of reconciliation, we recognize our commitment to address and reduce the ongoing systemic colonialism, oppression and racism that Indigenous Peoples continue to experience.
