New OER: Introduction to Criminology

by Amanda Grey

You may have already seen this elsewhere, but I wanted to share! Introduction to Criminology Edited by Dr. Shereen Hassan and Dan Lett, MAS  [cid:image001.png@01D937D5.F954DB70] Link to Resource: Introduction to Criminology<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/introcrim/> Although this open education resource (OER) is written with the needs and abilities of first-year undergraduate criminology students in mind, it is designed to be flexible. As a whole, the OER is amply broad to serve as the main textbook for an introductory course, yet each chapter is deep enough to be useful as a supplement for subject-area courses; authors use plain and accessible language as much as possible, but introduce more advanced, technical concepts where appropriate; the text gives due attention to the historical “canon” of mainstream criminological thought, but it also challenges many of these ideas by exploring alternative, critical, and marginalized perspectives. After all, criminology is more than just the study of crime and criminal law; it is an examination of the ways human societies construct, contest, and defend ideas about right and wrong, the meaning of justice, the purpose and power of laws, and the practical methods of responding to broken rules and of mending relationships. Special thanks to Leah Ballantyne, LLB LLM, a Cree lawyer from the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation in Pukatawagan, Manitoba, who provided expert Indigenous consultation/editing for this textbook.  This OER was jointly funded and supported by KPU Arts, KPU OER Grants, KPU OPUS, BCcampus and the Justice Institute of BC.     Check out the KPU Pressbooks Catalogue<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/catalog/openkpu> of works published by the Open Publishing Suite (OPUS)<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.  Learn more about KPU Open Education<http://www.kpu.ca/open>.

CFP: The place of teaching in academic librarians' work - due Dec. 20

by Emily Carlisle-Johnston

The Canadian Journal of Academic Librarianship (CJAL) invites submissions to our special issue on the place of teaching in academic librarians’ work. CJAL is an open access, peer-reviewed journal published by the Canadian Association of Professional Academic Librarians (CAPAL). "Librarians teach. It might not be what we planned to do when we entered the profession, or it may have been our secret hope all along. Either way, we teach." (Oakleaf et al. 2012, 6) Teaching has become a core activity in academic libraries over the last decades, but librarians may find their teaching role to be a complicated one. Formal instruction largely began in the 1960s and 1970s as a grassroots movement led by librarians rather than library administrators or library schools (Mellon 1987), and some librarians still feel their library administrations do not understand or value their teaching. New librarians may still feel their education has left them unprepared for teaching. At the same time, some administrations are now creating dedicated teaching units and high-level administrative positions focused on teaching and learning, as well as providing greater support for learning to teach. Many librarians identify as teachers or educators as well as librarians, but may not consider themselves as teachers in the same way as faculty, and may not consistently define their work as teaching (Davis, Lundstrom, and Martin 2011). Some may feel anxious or ambiguous about the role (Lundstrom, Fagerheim, and Van Geen 2021; Mattson, Kirker, Oberlies, and Byrd 2017). We invite authors to contribute to these ongoing conversations by submitting proposals for inclusion in this special issue of CJAL. Both big picture and narrow focus on specific contexts/topics are welcome, including conceptual pieces, empirical studies, and case studies of practice. Authors interested in participating are asked to submit a proposal (maximum 800 words plus bibliography) as an email attachment (Word document or PDF) to can.j.acad.lib(a)gmail.com by December 20, 2022. For more information, please see the full CFP on the CJAL website: https://cjal.ca/index.php/capal/announcement/view/872. -- La Revue canadienne de bibliothéconomie universitaire (RCBA) invite des soumissions de propositions pour son numéro spécial sur la place de l'enseignement dans le travail des bibliothécaires universitaires. La RCBA est une revue en libre accès, évaluée par des pairs et publiée par l'Association canadienne des bibliothécaires universitaires professionnels (CAPAL). "Les bibliothécaires enseignent. Ce n'était peut-être pas ce que nous avions prévu de faire lorsque nous sommes entré.e.s dans la profession, ou c'était peut-être notre espoir secret depuis le début. D'une manière ou d'une autre, nous enseignons." (Oakleaf et coll. 2012, 6) L'enseignement est devenu une activité centrale dans les bibliothèques universitaires au cours des dernières décennies, mais les bibliothécaires peuvent trouver leur rôle d'enseignant.e compliqué. L'enseignement formel a commencé en grande partie dans les années 1960 et 1970 en tant que mouvement populaire dirigé par des bibliothécaires plutôt que par des administrateurs de bibliothèque ou des écoles de bibliothéconomie (Mellon 1987), et certain.e.s bibliothécaires ont encore l'impression que leurs administrations de bibliothèque ne comprennent pas ou n'apprécient pas leur rôle en enseignement. Les nouveaux bibliothécaires peuvent encore avoir l'impression que leur éducation les a laissé.e.s mal préparé.e.s pour enseigner. Parallèlement, certaines administrations créent désormais des unités d'enseignement dédiées et des postes administratifs de haut niveau axés sur l'enseignement et l'apprentissage, ainsi qu'un soutien accru à l'apprentissage de le pédagogie. De nombreux bibliothécaires s'identifient comme enseignant.e.s ou éducatrices.teurs ainsi que bibliothécaires, mais peuvent ne pas se considérer comme enseignant.e.s de la même manière que les professeur.e.s et peuvent ne pas définir systématiquement leur travail comme de l' enseignement (Davis, Landsturm et Martin 2011). Certains peuvent se sentir anxieuses.eux ou ambigu.e.s quant au rôle (Landsturm, Fagerheim et Van Geen 2021 ; Mattson, Kirker, Oberlies et Byrd 2017). Nous invitons les auteurs à contribuer à ces conversations en cours en soumettant des propositions à inclure dans ce numéro spécial de CJAL. Les auteurs sont les bienvenus, qu'ils aient une vue d'ensemble ou qu'ils se concentrent sur des contextes/sujets spécifiques, y compris les articles conceptuels, les études empiriques et les études de cas pratiques. Les auteur.e.s intéressé.e.s à participer sont invité.e.s à soumettre une proposition (maximum 800 mots plus bibliographie) en pièce jointe (document Word ou PDF) à can.j.acad.lib(a)gmail.com d'ici le 20 décembre 2022. Pour plus d'informations, veuillez consulter l’appel de proposition complet sur le site du CJAL: https://cjal.ca/index.php/capal/announcement/view/872. -- Emily Carlisle-Johnston (she/her), MLIS Research and Scholarly Communication Librarian University of Western Ontario London, ON, Canada p. 519-661-2111 ext. 84382

Opening Up Copyright Update

by Michael McNally

Hello OER Colleagues, The University of Alberta’s *Opening Up Copyright (OUC) <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/>* instructional modules team is pleased to announce the launch of five new modules: - Copyright in the K-12 Context <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/copyright-in-the-k-12-c…> - Creating and Sharing Copyright Protected Materials in the K-12 Context <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/creating-and-sharing-co…> - Introduction to Copyright <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/introduction-to-copyrig…> - Working With Copyright <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/working-with-copyright/> - Opening Up Copyright: An Introduction <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/opening-up-copyright-ou…> The first two modules address copyright in the K-12 context, and were developed in collaboration with Dr. Cathy Adams (University of Alberta, Faculty of Education) and with support from the University of Alberta's Support for Advancement of Scholarship (SAS) fund. The next three modules introduce users to both the topic of copyright and the series itself. After five years the project has 35 modules total, and is now able to provide instructional resources from the most introductory aspects of copyright to explorations of specific sections of the *Copyright Act* and relevant case law. In addition, the following article has been added to the Scholarly Contributions <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/scholarly-contributions/> section of the website: Guy, J., and McNally, M. B. (2022). “Ten key factors for making educational and instructional videos.” Scholarly and Research Communication, 13(2): 1-18. https://doi.org/10.22230/src.2022v13n2a423 Special thanks to all the contributors to the series, and specifically the seven Graduate Research Assistants, whose hard work and creativity has been crucial to its development and success over the past five years. In Winter 2023 we will begin working on the review and updating of all the instructional modules, with a focus on the following: - Access Copyright v. York University - Public Domain, and other modules that deal with term length If you or someone you know might be interested in translating the modules, the OUC team would be happy to discuss potential funding possibilities to facilitate both translating and a research study of how the modules must be adapted (with respect to script, visuals, and the final videos themselves). All of the OUC modules, including slides and scripts, are published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence. This means they can be adopted and adapted by anyone. If you are linking to, adopting, or adapting the modules we would love to hear about it! We can be reached at ouc(a)ualberta.ca Michael, on behalf of the (current) OUC team -- Michael McNally, Adrian Sheppard, and Amanda Wakaruk

Call for Authors: OER and Tenure and Promotion Case Studies

by Amanda Coolidge (she/her)

Dear Open Education Colleagues: The DOERS3 Collaborative<https://www.doers3.org/>, building on its previous work with the DOERS3 OER Contributions Matrix<https://www.doers3.org/tenure-and-promotion.html>, seeks authors for a book-length project<https://www.doers3.org/tandpcallforauthors.html> centered around valuing open education work in the tenure, promotion, and reappointment process. To that end, we are interested in case studies written by faculty, staff, and administrators detailing their experiences trying to appropriately value OER and open educational work in that process. A critical part of sustaining OER and open educational practices in higher education is recognizing the contributions by instructors who create and improve OER as part of their professional work. By collecting case studies from those who have experience, DOERS3 seeks to provide as many examples from as many types of institutions as possible so that those looking for answers to this problem can find solutions that speak to their particular issues. The goal of this project is to ultimately be the first stop for anyone asking, “How can I make open education work count toward the job security of myself and others?” DOERS3 seeks abstracts of no more than 250 words for potential case studies by 10/24/22. Case study authors will be compensated for their work and all accepted submissions will be peer reviewed. For more details and a link for abstract submission, see the full Call for Authors.<https://www.doers3.org/tandpcallforauthors.html> Thank you!

November 4: Digital Literacy in Post Secondary Education

by Amanda Coolidge (she/her)

Hello All! Registration is now OPEN<https://events.eply.com/2022ETUGWorkshopNov4> for the Fall Educational Technology Users Group Event on November 4. This year’s theme is: Digital Literacy! [cid:image001.jpg@01D8E396.1E7DF380] Despite the recovery from the pandemic, the number of academic programs and courses delivered in hybrid or fully online formats will likely remain high. At the same time, an increasing number of instructors are trying out HyFlex delivery — giving students options about whether they come to class or learn online. Digital literacy, for both instructors and students, impacts effective use of these delivery modes. But how can digital literacy support teaching and learning for online, hybrid, and HyFlex courses? What does a student need to be digitally literate? What does an instructor need to be digitally literate? Hope to see you there Amanda -------------- My working hours may be different to yours. Please do not feel obligated to reply outside of yours.

OER Innovation Survey (ENCORE+ Project)

by Enkerli, Alexandre

OERers… Received a message from Paz Díez Arcón, researcher at Knowledge 4 All Foundation, about an Encore+ Project<https://encoreproject.eu/> survey to gather examples of OER innovation and create case studies. ENCORE+ OER Innovation (onlinesurveys.ac.uk)<https://openuniversity.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/encore-oer-innovation> Deadline: November 28. Paz’s message: Today, I'm writing to you about the ENCORE+ project, which started in 2020. You can check ENCORE+ at https://encoreproject.eu/ - although the website is a little out of date as we are waiting for a new designer to be recruited so everything can be updated. The basic proposition of the project is there, however. The innovation work package, led by Rob Farrow (Open University), is running a survey and we hope you are able to help us out with it! We are looking for examples of innovation with and through open educational resources (OER) for an open access collection of short case studies that would be showcased on an upcoming event. These would be fairly short - about a page per case. We have a survey we're using to collect data: https://openuniversity.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/encore-oer-innovation Please could you share this survey with OER projects in your network and encourage them to complete it? There are three goals we have in mind for this activity. Firstly, the data we collect will help us build a world-leading collection of cases of OER implementation which we will share on an open licence for others to make use of and learn from. There really isn’t much research that has been done into the relationship between OER and innovation. We hope to facilitate understanding of this. Secondly, we want to amplify interesting and important work being done in the OER world. There are many important projects out there which few people have heard of. In addition to the published collection of cases based on this survey we will be showcasing flagship examples through the ENCORE+ network. Thirdly, the data we collect will be used to inform and structure our OER Innovation Evaluation Framework, a forthcoming publication which will help practitioners to understand the innovation vectors in their own work and facilitate reflection on practice (Look out for this in 2023!). I hope this is fairly self explanatory! As an Erasmus+ project we are especially keen to make sure we get examples from Europe. I thought you would have some great contacts to share the survey with: any OER implementation (or use of OER) counts. We also welcome business examples (which are often harder to find). Let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Survey is open until 28th November 2022. Please feel free to share this message and invitation to complete the survey with other people/projects and distribution lists. -- Alex [Collecto - Services regroupés en éducation]<https://collecto.ca/> [Collecto - Services regroupés en éducation]<https://badgr.com/public/assertions/CbgU229_SnCArzc_sAypdw> ALEXANDRE ENKERLI CHARGÉ DE PROJETS • SERVICES DE PÉDAGOGIE NUMÉRIQUE T 514 384-9272 F 514 381-2263 collecto.ca<http://collecto.ca/> Actualités<http://collecto.ca/actualites> | LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/collecto/> 👉 PRENDRE UN RENDEZ-VOUS<https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/Collecto1@collecto.ca/bookings/>

Introducing… People Learning and Development By Monica Affleck Are you interested in the topic of people learning and development or are tasked to implement learning and training opportunities in your workplace? We invite you to use this resource full of information and tools to help support people and organizations in their learning journey. [cid:image002.png@01D8DE23.8F39EF70]<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/peoplelearningdevelopment/back-matter/list-of-co…> Link to the resource: People Learning and Development<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/peoplelearningdevelopment/> Learning happens everywhere, and you will explore the different modes of learning on and off the job. But is a training program actually the right solution to address a performance issue in your organization? Learn how to conduct a needs analysis to help you decide what is in the best interest of the organization and people. Training and learning opportunities have to be properly designed to be effective and deliver the results you expect. Find out how adults learn and what motivates them to develop their skills. Discover how learning supports the performance management process and how to ensure that learning gets transferred into the workplace. The ultimate goal of training and development is to increase productivity, employee engagement, and to make a positive impact on the organization’s bottom line. So, evaluating training and development programs is critical to determine the company’s return on investment (ROI). You will find all of this and more in this resource to help you invest in and reap the benefits of talent development in your company. Remember, this is an interactive resource. We invite you to answer the questions at the end of each chapter to test your knowledge.

Correction to new open resource from University of Regina

by Open Textbooks

Hi everyone, The announcement from the University of Regina had some missing links. Here is what the links should have been for all the resources. 1. 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/] 2. 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/geology240labmanual/] 3. Computer Science Lab Updates 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/. [http://www2.cs.uregina.ca/~cs100/] 4.

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! Thanks bunches, Jessica [cid:image001.png@01D8BBA6.729A7500] 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.

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.

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. De plus, elle a cerné des activités et programmes conçus pour soutenir cette nouvelle catégorie de pratique et appuyer le développement d’un leadership national dans ce domaine. Le Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte (GTEO)<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/faire-avancer-la-recherche/communication-savant…> est responsable de ces activités et programmes.

Les mandats débuteront en juillet 2022 et se termineront en mai 2024. Pour plus d'informations sur les activités proposées du groupe, consulter le projet de mandat<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QmEfEI2IdKg9_cV1f0uTcKhCyS_jjAGFEC1DHXj…> du deuxième mandat du groupe (en anglais seulement). L’ABRC encourage une participation équitable à tous ses groupes de travail. Les membres du comité seront choisis en fonction de considérations géographiques, linguistiques, d’expertise et de diversité, d’équité et d’inclusion. La capacité des candidats à comprendre le français et l’anglais sera considérée comme un atout. Le groupe de travail sera présidé par un membre du Comité de l’avancement de la recherche de l’ABRC, actuellement Joy Kirchner. Veuillez faire parvenir vos candidatures/manifestations d’intérêt à Karen Nicholson à karen.nicholson(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:karen.nicholson@carl-abrc.ca> au plus tard le vendredi 24 juin 2022.

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?

by Jessica Norman

Hi All, Related to the earlier discussion around OER resources for Microsoft Office courses, I was wondering if anyone knows of alternatives to Pearson's homework platform, MyLab IT? I know several organizations have homework platforms in development but I'm unsure if any of them would cover this area.

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."

New OER | Cases on Social Issues: For class discussion / Deirdre Maultsaid | KPU

by Urooj Nizami

Cases on Social Issues: For class discussion Edited by Deirdre Maultsaid<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/social-issue-cases/front-matter/70/> [Graphical user interface, website Description automatically generated] Link to resource: https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/social-issue-cases/ This Open Educational Resource, “Cases on Social Issues: For Class Discussion” includes valuable cases on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion for student use. The critical events portrayed in the cases are realistic and emotional, and feature the experiences of under-represented and marginalized people. These thoughtful, contemporary cases pose ethical dilemmas about social issues that encourage post-secondary students and instructors to have stimulating, inclusive, and compassionate discussions. Inspired by input from post-secondary students and authored by people usually under-represented in education material, this resource is designed for upper-level undergraduate or graduate students in the humanities, social sciences, business, healthcare, science, agriculture, environmental studies, law and more. Each case is supplemented with modifiable discussion prompts, notes for teaching strategy, and a short reading list. This resource is a work in progress. Contributions by: Deirdre Maultsaid (Editor), Gregory John This OER was funded by KPU | Open Education’s OER Grant Program<https://www.kpu.ca/open/grants>.
