Hello Everyone!
I'm starting to plan a schedule of events for the University of Alberta's
Open Education Symposium. It will be a series of events throughout Open
Education Week (Mar 7-11, 2022).
I'm looking to do some collaborative sessions with other institutions. The
University of Alberta would handle the registration, Zoom hosting,
facilitation support, and edit/post the recording. I would ask that we do a
joint-introduction to the session and you are welcome to put the
registration and zoom on your institution's website, if you wish, to
promote as a partnership with UofA rather than sending them to the UofA
website.
So far, we have a series of lunch-hour lightning talks (3-4 presenters in a
1hr session) being planned with University of Alberta, University of
Calgary, and Thompson Rivers University. A growing list of topics we would
like to deliver include:
- Evaluating the quality of open pedagogies
- OER speed-dating!
- Open EdTech - tools review
- open and participatory technologies
- Pressbooks, H5P, and using them in class
- "Do open pedagogies have to be either open or closed? What is in the
middle?"
- ZTC - common barriers when implementing (course-level)
- Universal design, OER, and course design
- Demo: How to change your course to incorporate OER
If you're interested in collaborating, I would love to hear from you!
Thanks,

I am excited to announce the release of a new open textbook from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at USask. An English translation of a 1918 work by German veterinary anatomist Dr. Hermann Baum, The Lymphatic System of the Dog details a comprehensive investigation of the anatomy and drainage patterns of the canine lymphatic system.
You can read more about this project in this article - https://news.usask.ca/articles/colleges/2021/usask-veterinarians-vision-rev…
The book is in our open textbook catalogue at https://news.usask.ca/articles/colleges/2021/usask-veterinarians-vision-rev…

Hello everyone,
I am delighted to share this new article in the International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, co-authored with my wonderful BC colleagues Tannis Morgan (VCC), Elizabeth Childs (RRU), Christina Hendricks (UBC), Michelle Harrison (TRU), and Irwin DeVries (RRU), in which we share a new institutional self-assessment tool for open educational practices (which we have applied to our 5 institutions). We hope this is helpful to you as you advance this work within your own institutional contexts.

Dear colleagues,
You are invited to attend the following session, Making OER Count: Incorporating OER into the Tenure and Promotion Process<https://bccampus.ca/event/making-oer-count-incorporating-oer-into-the-tenur…> on Thursday, December 2, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Pacific.
Description:
Anyone familiar with the open educational resources (OER) community knows that questions about the role of OER work in tenure, promotion, and reappointment are constant at conferences and on listservs where OER practitioners and administrators congregate. However, as criteria for tenure and promotion vary greatly between different types of institutions – and even between different departments within an institution – answering these questions can be daunting. An adaptable advisory model, called the OER Contributions Matrix [PDF]<https://www.doers3.org/uploads/1/3/2/2/132273765/the_oer_contributions_matr…>, has been created to approach this conundrum and to help guide faculty as they attempt to include their OER work in their tenure and promotion portfolios. The tool was developed by a working group within Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success (DOERS3), a collaborative of state-, province-, and system-wide OER initiatives that work together to help the OER community realize the potential of OER in a sustainable fashion. During this session members of DOERS3 will provide insight into the OER Contributions Matrix, explain how it came about, and share some potential uses for the document, including a short brainstorming session on how the matrix can be adapted for use at local institutions.
Facilitators:
Amanda Coolidge (she/her) is director of Open Education at BCcampus in B.C., Canada. She leads the province’s initiatives in open education, from open textbooks to open pedagogy, and with a team of eight other people works across B.C. to enhance access for students. Amanda has a master’s degree in educational technology and many years of experience as an instructional designer at various universities across Canada. Amanda has worked in open education in Calgary, Alberta; Nairobi, Kenya; and B.C.
Andrew McKinney (he/him) is the OER coordinator for City University of New York’s (CUNY) Office of Library Services (OLS). For OLS he administers the CUNY OER Initiative, a $4-million-a-year program that aims to increase the use of OER and open pedagogical practices across CUNY’s 24 campuses. He leverages his 15 years of working across CUNY as a graduate student, adjunct faculty member, educational technologist, faculty development specialist, and instructional designer to support CUNY’s librarians, faculty, staff, and students as they adopt, adapt, and create OER.
This event is free. To ensure we have an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, we’ve added registration to all our sessions.

Subject: [lpc-l] 2022 Library Publishing Forum Call For Proposals now open!
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 for the 2022 Library Publishing Forum! After the success of our Virtual Forums in 2020 and 2021, we are thrilled to offer both in-person and online options this year, with a virtual preconference the week of May 16, 2022, followed by the in-person Library Publishing Forum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania May 25–26, 2022. We invite proposals for both of these events, and warmly encourage proposals from first-time presenters and representatives of small and emerging publishing programs. Proposals may address any topic of interest to the library publishing community. The proposal deadline is November 15, 2021.
Proposal submissions for both the virtual preconference and the in-person Forum are welcome from LPC members and nonmembers, including library employees, university press employees, scholars, students, and other scholarly communication and publishing professionals. 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 Anti-Racist Practice<https://librarypublishing.org/roadmap-for-anti-racist-practice/>, this year we ask all proposals to explicitly address how they are inclusive of multiple perspectives, address DEI, or incorporate anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches. We also encourage speakers to provide us with information about themselves that will assist us in identifying proposals that balance geography, identity, and representation, especially from marginalized groups. 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. Everyone submitting a presentation will also have an opportunity to complete a brief, anonymous demographic survey so we can better understand who is submitting proposals to LPF.
Learn more and submit a proposal<https://librarypublishing.org/program/>.

Dear colleagues,
Several BCcampus websites, including BCcampus Open Education (open.bccampus.ca), are currently unavailable due to recent power outages. We do not have an estimated time of when the sites will be online. However, our technical team is working on resolving this issue as soon as possible.
Affected sites (that we know of):
bccampus.ca and subpages (e.g., covid19.bccampus.ca)
open.bccampus.ca
bcoel.ca
bctlc.ca
etug.ca
Sites NOT affected:
pressbooks.bccampus.ca
opentextbc.ca
solr.bccampus.ca
tlpd.bccampus.ca
While the B.C. Open Textbook Collection (which is housed on open.bccampus.ca) is not available right now, if you have the direct link to a particular textbook that is in one of our Pressbooks instances, it should be available, as Pressbooks and SOL*R are unaffected.
We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve these issues.

Hi All,
An instructor contacted recently with the following request:
We are creating a Pop Culture Sociology course and we are looking for an OER. Course Description:
Using a multi-disciplinary approach, students will explore and examine popular culture as one of the most significant cultural and social agents in contemporary society. Learners will study the emergence of pop culture studies and a range of diverse theoretical approaches including critical studies of gender, sexuality and race. Students will consider a variety of mediums such as music, video games, social media, art, film/television, fashion and celebrity. Finally, learners will study and reflect on the role of popular culture in the development of individual identity and group/community identity and action
I've checked the usual locations (OpenStax, OERCommons, MERLOT, BCcampus, eCampus Ontario, OASIS, Open Textbook Library, OASIS, OpenOregon, OAPEN) but I wanted to reach out in case there is a gem in a local repository. I think the instructor is looking for something equivalent to John Storey's textbook:

Any leads are appreciated!

This message is sent on behalf of Nicole Allen, SPARC.
Dear colleagues,
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of InclusiveAccess.org<https://www.inclusiveaccess.org/>: a community-driven initiative to raise awareness of the facts about automatic textbook billing.
Little known five years ago, Inclusive Access has taken off as a sales model that automatically adds the cost of digital textbooks into students’ tuition and fees. While this model is intended to address some of the challenges with high textbook costs, it is also creating new challenges for students and faculty.
How exactly does Inclusive Access work? Does it really save students money? What about this kind of program is “inclusive”? Straightforward answers to these questions aren’t always easy to find.
InclusiveAccess.org is a one-stop-shop for information, tools, and other resources to help administrators, faculty, students, and policymakers make informed decisions about Inclusive Access and its implications for the campus community.
InclusiveAccess.org was developed by SPARC with generous support from the Michelson 20MM Foundation<http://20mm.org/>. Partners<http://inclusiveaccess.org/about-us> include AAC&U, Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, Creative Commons, DigiTex, Student PIRGs, Open Education Global, and OpenStax. Other mission-aligned organizations are encouraged to join.
If conversations about Inclusive Access are happening in your campus or state, we hope you will consider sharing this resource far and wide! To stay in the loop, sign up for emails<https://www.inclusiveaccess.org/subscribe> and follow @TextbookBilling<https://twitter.com/textbookbilling> on Twitter.
Cheers,

Dear colleagues,
The Community College Consortium for OER is offering a webinar on Wednesday, October 13 at 12 p.m. PDT/3 p.m. EDT called OER Funding and Impact Measurements<https://www.cccoer.org/webinar/oer-funding-and-impact-measurements/>.
The event description says, "Let’s be honest: the questions every institution or organization interested in embarking on an OER project has to ask at some point are 'Where’s the money, and how do I get it?' There are lots of ways these questions can be answered, so we’ll be discussing various OER funding streams and examine ways in which the work is measured to justify sustainability and scalability. Hear from funders and fundees alike, from across the U.S."
Register for this Zoom meeting online<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYlduuprT8rE9zqwyPU-F2ss81q6ZkbFu…>.

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some advice on appropriate honorariums to provide to people who work on Open Textbooks. Specifically, I’d like to provide payment to someone to write a chapter for my textbook on a subject I’m not well-versed in, and I’d also like to remunerate two to three peer reviewers of the text.
Does anyone have guidance on respectful sums for writing and peer-reviewing?
Thanks,
Lindsey

Hello all.
We have an instructor who has written 6 chapters for a textbook on culture and psychology that he plans to provide to his students for free. He’s wondering if there is OER that can help supplement what he has so that his students don’t have to pay for a commercial textbook. Anyone know of any OER on culture and psychology?
Thank you.

Call for Expressions of Interest – CARL Visiting Program Officer for Open Education
https://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/call-vpo-for-open-education-2021/
The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL)<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/> is the national voice of Canada’s twenty-nine largest university libraries and two federal institutions. A bilingual not-for-profit organization, CARL coordinates national initiatives across its member institutions and promotes their causes to achieve excellence in research and higher education.
CARL invites applications for a Visiting Program Officer (VPO) focused in the area of open education (OE). The position will entail working for CARL for the equivalent of one day per week, and is expected to start in October 2021, for a period of one year. The deadline to apply is Friday, September 10, 2021.
Visiting Program Officer positions are an arrangement between CARL and the individual’s home institution, normally for a minimum period of one year at 20% of their time. There is no salary remuneration from CARL associated with this position; the home institution continues to pay the Visiting Program Officer’s salary. Benefits arising from this experience for the incumbent and the home institution include broadened experience and knowledge gained from working on national initiative; while for CARL and its members, the position helps advance a common priority.
In 2018, CARL identified OE leadership as an important area for capacity building within its institutions. CARL has since formed an Open Education Working Group (OEWG)<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…> and led activities and programs designed to bolster practice and support the development of national leadership in this area. CARL has also initiated engagement with other post-secondary stakeholder groups in considering strategies for increasing the momentum of open education in Canada. The VPO for OE will guide CARL’s evolving program of open education initiatives.
RESPONSIBILITY:
In collaboration with Joy Kirchner, chair of CARL’s Open Education Working Group (OEWG), and with Lise Brin, CARL’s full-time Program Officer supporting the Advancing Research Committee’s initiatives, the VPO will take a leading role in planning and delivering CARL’s OE efforts, working closely with the CARL Open Education Working Group to shape its slate of OE-related activities and communications plan and deliver these activities, including but not limited to “OeLE Light,” a workshop-in-a-box version of the Open Education Leadership Essentials workshop offered by the OEWG in 2020, and CARL’s communication activities related to OER.
REQUIREMENTS:
* Must be based at a Canadian post-secondary institution;
* Must have obtained library director’s agreement for the arrangement with CARL as described;
* Possesses excellent communication skills, both verbal and written;
* Has proven group facilitation skills or will have successfully delivered training programs to peers, and demonstrates the ability to ensure diverse experiences and perspectives are treated respectfully;
* Has project management experience;
* Has significant experience and expertise in the areas of open education and open educational resources;
* The ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing in French and English will be deemed an asset.
If there are multiple candidates who fulfil the criteria above, selection will be based on demonstrated leadership, prior involvement, and level of institutional support; and may involve an interview.
To apply, please send a copy of your CV, an introductory letter outlining your suitability for this role and a letter from your library director confirming support for the nomination and the proposed arrangement, to Susan Haigh, Executive Director of CARL, susan.haigh(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:susan.haigh@carl-abrc.ca>, no later than September 10, 2021.

L’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada (ABRC)<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/> représente les vingt-neuf plus grandes bibliothèques de recherche universitaires au pays et deux établissements fédéraux. À titre d’organisme bilingue sans but lucratif, l’ABRC coordonne les initiatives nationales de ses établissements membres et fait progresser leurs causes afin d’atteindre l’excellence dans la recherche et l’enseignement supérieur.
L’ABRC invite les personnes intéressées à présenter leur candidature pour le poste d’agente ou d’agent de programme invité(e) (API) pour l’éducation ouverte (ÉO).

La date limite pour présenter une demande est le vendredi 10 septembre 2021.
Le poste d’API consiste en une entente entre l’ABRC et l’établissement d’attache de la personne, normalement pour une période minimale d’un an à 20 % de son temps de travail. La rémunération de ce poste n’est pas assurée par l’ABRC, mais par l’établissement d’attache qui devra continuer à payer le salaire de la personne. Grâce à ce poste, le ou la titulaire et son établissement d’attache élargiront leur expérience et leurs connaissances liées à des initiatives nationales, alors que l’ABRC et ses membres feront progresser une priorité commune.
En 2018, l’ABRC a reconnu l’importance du leadership en éducation ouverte pour contribuer à renforcer les capacités de ses établissements membres. L’ABRC a alors mis sur pied un Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte (GTÉO)<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/faire-avancer-la-recherche/communication-savant…> et a mené des initiatives visant à soutenir les pratiques dans ce domaine et à appuyer le développement d’un leadership national en matière de REL et d'éducation ouverte. L’ABRC a également amorcé un dialogue avec d’autres groupes d’intervenants du secteur postsecondaire pour examiner des stratégies visant à accroître l’élan de l’éducation ouverte au Canada. L’API pour l’éducation ouverte orientera le programme en pleine évolution d’initiatives d’ÉO de l’ABRC.
RESPONSIBILITÉS

Il/elle travaillera en étroite collaboration avec le GTÉO pour établir la liste des activités et des plans de communication et pour exécuter ces activités, y compris, mais sans s’y limiter, « OeLE Light », une version d’atelier en boîte s’inspirant de « Open Education Leadership Essentials (OeLE)» [Atelier sur les principes fondamentaux de leadership en éducation ouverte], un atelier offert par le GTÉO en 2020, ainsi que les activités de communication de l’ABRC liées aux REL.
COMPÉTENCES REQUISES
* Être en poste dans un établissement d’enseignement postsecondaire au Canada;
* Avoir obtenu l’accord de sa direction de bibliothèque pour l’entente avec l’ABRC, telle que décrite ci-dessus;
* Posséder d’excellentes aptitudes en communication verbale et écrite;
* Posséder des compétences éprouvées en animation de groupe ou avoir offert avec succès des programmes de formation à des pairs et démontrer une capacité à traiter diverses expériences et perspectives avec respect;

* Posséder une expérience et une expertise importantes dans les domaines de l’éducation libre et les ressources éducatives libres;
* La capacité de communiquer efficacement tant à l’oral qu’à l’écrit en français et en anglais sera considérée comme un atout.
Si plusieurs candidatures répondent aux critères ci-dessus, la sélection sera fondée sur le leadership démontré, l’engagement préalable dans des initiatives d’envergure nationale et le niveau de soutien institutionnel. Une entrevue pourrait être exigée.
Pour poser votre candidature, veuillez envoyer un exemplaire de votre CV, une lettre de présentation décrivant vos aptitudes à remplir ce rôle et une lettre de la part de votre direction de bibliothèque confirmant son appui à votre candidature et son accord avec le prêt d’une ressource professionnelle à l’ABRC, tel que défini ci-dessus. Ces documents doivent être envoyés à Susan Haigh, directrice générale de l’ABRC, à : susan.haigh(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:susan.haigh@carl-abrc.ca>, au plus tard le 10 septembre 2021.

The University of Ottawa Open and Affordable Learning Materials Working Group, sponsored by the University Librarian and Vice-Provost, Knowledge Systems, the Vice-Provost of Academic Affairs, and the Associate Vice-President of Student Affairs, is pleased to share its report and recommendations. Created in late 2019, the working group had the mandate to 1) develop awareness and promote the use of affordable course content; 2) explore and recommend strategies to establish an environment at uOttawa in which the creation and adoption of OER is encouraged and rewarded; and 3) coordinate efforts among key campus stakeholders who lead and support open education initiatives on campus. The report concludes twelve months of work and builds on existing open access and e-learning initiatives. It presents four categories of recommendations to guide open education and textbook affordability activities at uOttawa for the next five years.

Dear all,
I’m writing on behalf of faculty member Shereen Hassan at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. Dr. Hassan is looking for a contributor to author a chapter in the much-anticipated, Canada-focused, Introduction to Criminology openly-licensed textbook. The outstanding chapter requiring an author is:
1. Victimology
Please see Dr. Hassan’s letter below and circulate this Call for Authors widely. This is a paid opportunity and would come with a $500 honorarium.
If interested or for more information, please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca<mailto:shereen.hassan@kpu.ca> by Monday, September 13, 2021.

I hope that this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Shereen Hassan and I am an SFU criminology alumni. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Simon Verdun-Jones in 2010. I am now a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Criminology department and have been here for almost 17 years.
I am reaching out about an opportunity to contribute to an Open Education Resource for the Introduction to Criminology course. This text will be the first of its kind in Canadian Criminology and is unique as it seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and content in a way that Criminology texts to date have failed to do. Dr. Gail Anderson has contributed in the area of biological explanations of crime, and Dr. Zachary Rowan and Michaela McGuire have co-authored a chapter on learning theories. There are authors from several other universities in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort!
I am still looking for an author in the area of (1) Victimology.
We are flexible on deadlines, and we are hoping to have a draft by December 2021. This text is an introductory text, so the idea here is to provide a brief overview, but to also address this theoretical framework's application to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, Indigenous issues in some way, wherever possible. We have asked authors to keep the chapters short (approximately 4000 words) or as close to that as possible.
It would be a wonderful honour to have you contribute to this important project.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hello everyone!
The first (University of Alberta, CTL) Open Pedagogy Community of Practice meeting occurred this week, and I’m pleased to share we had 37 participants from various Canadian and US (83 registrations). The CoP is intended to focus specifically on instructional practices which are open (OER-enabled or not).
Now that we have one session under our belt and feedback is rolling in, I want to reach out to develop partnerships. My vision is to collaboratively host quarterly sessions and drive our planning based on feedback generated from the participants each term. If you’re interested in collaborating to co-host the November session, I would love to hear from you! The commitment would involve partnering with me (yes!) to achieve the following:
- Evaluate feedback collected from the community
- Determine the format and topics of November’s meeting
- Plan potential future feedback loops to enact
- Co-host November’s meeting
- Post-event communication / feedback
Currently, our next session is booked on November 16, 1pm - 3pm MDT.
More information can be found on the current Open Pedagogy CoP page <https://www.ualberta.ca/centre-for-teaching-and-learning/teaching-support/o…>, which eventually will become something collaborative. Recordings from the August 24th event will be added in the next week or so. Slides including jam board screenshots can bet found here <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1E4CyDBip_Xd22ZOaIYlre-wye-2JOFRm6F4…>. We did not record the event itself, but I did post-recordings of the webinar content. (Introductions to Communities of Practice and Open Pedagogy)
Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you soon!

This open educational resource (OER) brings together Canadian and international scholars in a contemporary, pluralistic volume introducing undergraduates in a variety of relevant disciplines to political ideologies and worldviews. This introductory volume is also suitable for a wider general audience. The first of its kind, this fully open textbook on political worldviews deals with the historical development of classical ideologies, while expanding and updating the subject using contemporary political examples and non-Eurocentric examinations of ideology. The volume includes chapters on Indigenous worldviews, Confucianism, and the future of ideology in the emerging global order. The text also includes a valuable sets of discussion questions for each chapter.

Hi Kelly - the three listservs I know about are:
1) BCcampus OER Listserv (canadaoer(a)lists.bccampus.ca)" <
canadaoer(a)lists.bccampus.ca> You can subscribe by contacting
Lauri Aesoph <lauri.aesoph(a)bccampus.ca> this is the Main Canada OE listserv
2) SPARC Libraries & OER Forum
liboer(a)sparcopen.org (this serves as a North American one, and Canadians do
share on this listserv frequently <liboer(a)sparcopen.org>
3) ONOER(a)ryerson.ca (this is an Ontario based one that is a bit dead -
some notices still get sent out on it about eCampus, it was quite active in
the first two rounds of the eCampusOntario grants. I administer.

Good morning / afternoon and sorry for the cross-post.
An instructor sent me this message and I haven't found anything yet, so I'm wondering if anyone else may know of some resources. Thank you.
"I am teaching an assessment course in Education, which is new to me. It does not have a textbook, so I am looking for resources to use with the students- content is on validity and reliability, formative, and summative assessment, making assessments using multiple choice questions, making rubrics and checklists etc. Would there be something available in the open resources that might be helpful?"

Like Amanda said, congratulations on this great example of collaboration.
What really gets me, though, is the mention of work on a French edition!
“Relevant to my interests.”
Would it be possible to put us in touch with people involved on the Francophone side? I’m sure Lise Brin and Lucie Vincent-LeBlanc are already aware of this work. Just hope we can build bridges with ongoing efforts, here in Quebec.
Again, congratulations…
And thanks for sharing!

Dear colleagues,
This message is sent on behalf of Anahita Rezaei, Open Education & Advocacy Specialist, Centrum Cyfrowe.
Open Education Policy Forum is coming back on September 15-16 for the sixth time (and online, too). We are looking forward to seeing you at the end of the summer to discuss the “Universe of Openness,” but today, we are excited to announce an Open Call for two key events that will be held during the Forum:
* Lightning talks – presentation of the most inspiring Open Education initiatives from the time of the pandemic [September 15]. In the tradition of exchanging the best practices from Open Education, we’re seeking inspiring initiatives. Have you completed a project or started an inspirational initiative within OE Policy in the past year and are you willing to share it with the Open Education community? If so, we’re looking for you! You’ll have up to 7 minutes to present your project to the world.
* Workshops for policy makers and OE activists [September 16]. In small groups of up to 15 participants, where every person can be heard and bring their unique perspective and experience, we want to talk about the future of Open Education. Our goal is to create realistic and achievable guidelines for the OE community in three areas:
* Designing the future of open education policy based on know-how and good practices
* New concepts & perspectives for the study on copyright for education
* Open Education for Green & Climate Education
Key dates
Deadline for submission to lightning talks and workshops: August 15
Publication of results: August 17
Registration<https://forms.gle/7FhKmAR4qWeHFnAZ7>
About the Forum. Open Education Policy Forum is an international conference organised by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation in cooperation with Communia Association, Hewlett Foundation, Intellectual Property Institute, OEGlobal, Otwarte Zasoby and SPARC Europe. Once a year, we bring together stakeholders (activists, researchers, teachers, policy makers) from around the world to exchange good practices and discuss challenges and opportunities faced by the Open Education community. We want to provide an opportunity for networking, exchange of knowledge and future collaborations.
“The Universe of Openness” – about the upcoming edition of the Forum. Open Education initiatives have been expanding extraordinarily since 2020. Resources, institutions and infrastructure built on the OE model provide resilience to educational systems at the beginning of remote education. The pandemic time has redefined “openness” in education. Now, with so many various projects in progress, we want to ask the following: how can the OE community maintain this growth? And how can we expand, explore and improve it in the upcoming future?
The conference will open with the premiere of a new pan-European study “Remote education during the pandemic: teachers perspective” conducted by Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation and Communia Association.

* DR. REBECCA KAROFF
Dr. Rebecca Karoff joined the University of Texas System in February 2016 as Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. She is responsible for leading and supporting student success initiatives system-wide. Her work addresses the student success continuum, PK-20 and into the workforce, and recognizes the remarkable responsibility and opportunity of the University of Texas System to achieve more equitable access and outcomes for the state’s increasingly diverse students. She is the primary architect of the UT System’s student success framework, and collaborates with institutional colleagues across the UT System to ensure student financial well-being, effective advising, and students’ sense of academic and social belonging. Her work includes leadership of the UT System’s momentum-building strategy on Open Educational Resources (OER), strengthening curricular innovation, and working with faculty to embrace their roles in student success. All her work is data-informed, equity-centered and quality-driven, and she is interested in expanded approaches to measuring student success. Beyond the UT System, she is a member of the Texas Transfer Alliance, a joint effort among the Charles A. Dana Center, the Texas Success Center, the Texas Association of Community Colleges, and four of the state’s public university systems (Texas A&M University System, Texas State University System, University of North Texas System and University of Texas System) to improve transfer student outcomes. She is active in NASH, the National Association of System Heads, and is a co-author of the NASH Equity Action Framework, a tool designed for university systems to assess their progress toward, and act on the adoption and integration of essential equity practices through sustained engagement. She chairs the Equity Work Group of DOERS3, the Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success Collaborative, work resulting in the DOERS3 OER Equity Blueprint and Equity Through OER Rubric.

On June 25, 2021, we are migrating the B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/> to new, more secure servers. We plan for the disruption to be minimal, but the collection may be unavailable between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. Pacific time.
If anyone needs urgent access to a book in the collection while the collection is unavailable, please email opentext(a)bccampus.ca with the name of the book and we will get you a copy.
Sincerely,

Dear all,
I’m writing on behalf of faculty member Shereen Hassan at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. Dr. Hassan is looking for a contributor to author a chapter in a much-anticipated, Canada-focused, Introduction to Criminology openly-licensed textbook. The chapter that requires an author is:
1. Media and Crime
2.
Please see Dr. Hassan’s letter below and circulate this Call for Authors widely. This is a paid opportunity and would come with a $500 honorarium.
If interested, or you would like more please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan(a)kpu.ca by Wednesday, July 7, 2021.

I hope that this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Shereen Hassan and I am an SFU criminology alumni. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Simon Verdun-Jones in 2010. I am now a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Criminology department and have been here for almost 17 years.
I am reaching out about an opportunity to contribute to an Open Education Resource for the Introduction to Criminology course. This text will be the first of its kind in Canadian Criminology and is unique as it seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and content in a way that Criminology texts to date have failed to do. There are authors from several universities, including Simon Fraser University, the University of the Fraser Valley, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, the University of Winnipeg, as well as other institutions in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort!
I am still looking for authors in the area of Media and Crime.
We are flexible on deadlines, and we are hoping to have a draft by the end of summer. This text is an introductory text, so the idea here is to provide a brief overview, but to also address how theories and principles in this area of research relate to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, and/or Indigenous issues in some way, wherever possible. We have asked authors to keep the chapters short (approximately 4000 words) or as close to that as possible.
It would be a wonderful honour to have you contribute to this important project.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
All the best,
Shereen Hassan, PhD
Criminology Faculty
