Community Call on OER Findability Issues
http://www.carl-abrc.ca/mini-site-page/community-call-on-oer-findability/
Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2020
Time: 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET
Register here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/community-call-on-oer-findability-issues-ticket…
The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL)’s Open Education Working Group (OEWG)<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-edu…> invites the Canadian open education community to join us in discussing findability issues when searching for and locating OER. In conversations among OEWG members, and during the January 2020 Open Education Leadership Essentials<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/mini-site-page/oele2020/> workshop, this question (as well as concerns about underlying metadata and aggregation thereof by larger databases) was a topic that came up frequently.
Whether you are a librarian, educator, or teaching and learning specialist, we hope you will join us and describe your experiences and thoughts regarding the OER searching experience.
In addition, if you produce or support the creation or deposit of OER into repositories, we hope you will share your thoughts with us regarding the use of metadata standards when describing OER, as well as the aggregation or harvesting of this metadata by search tools and databases.
This discussion will be led by Ali Versluis (Open Educational Resources Librarian, University of Guelph) and Lise Brin (Program Officer, Canadian Association of Research Libraries).

Appel de la communauté sur les difficultés liées à la recherche des REL
http://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/mini-site-page/appel-de-communaute-recherche-des…
Date : le mercredi 29 avril 2020
Heure : 13 h 00 à 14 h 00 HE
Inscrivez-vous : https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/community-call-on-oer-findability-issues-ticket…
Le Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte (GTEO)<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/faire-avancer-la-recherche/communication-savante…> de l’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada (ABRC) invite la communauté canadienne de l’éducation ouverte à se joindre à nous pour discuter des difficultés de trouvabilité lors de la recherche et de la localisation des REL. Au cours des conversations entre les membres du GTEO et lors de l'atelier de janvier 2020 « Open Education Leadership Essentials<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/mini-site-page/oele2020/> », cette question (ainsi que les préoccupations concernant les métadonnées sous-jacentes et leur agrégation dans les bases de données) était un sujet qui revenait fréquemment.
Que vous soyez bibliothécaire, éducateur ou spécialiste de l'enseignement et de l'apprentissage, nous espérons que vous vous joindrez à nous et que vous partagerez vos expériences et vos réflexions concernant l'expérience de recherche de REL.
En outre, si vous produisez ou soutenez la création ou le dépôt de REL dans des dépôts, nous espérons que vous partagerez vos réflexions concernant l'utilisation des normes de métadonnées lors de la description des REL, ainsi que l'agrégation ou la collecte de ces métadonnées par des outils de recherche et bases de données.
Cette discussion sera dirigée par Ali Versluis (bibliothécaire Open Educational Resources, Université de Guelph) et Lise Brin (agente de programme, Association canadienne des bibliothèques de recherche).

I have an instructor looking for an open textbook to replace the following:
Howlett, M., Ramesh, M., & Perl, A. (2009). Studying public policy: Policy cycles & policy subsystems (3rd ed.). Don Mills, ON: Oxford University Press. There is a newer version (2020), but there are limited copies - also available as an e-book though.

Hi Venecia,
I'm not aware of a Canadian version of Organizational Behaviour, and don't see any in the main Canadian OER repositories. However, if someone on the CanadaOER listserv knows of one in production, they will hopefully inform you and the group.

Hello,
I am not sure if I am sending this to the right email address (if not please let me know where to send it), but I wanted to find out if there is a Canadian Organizational Behaviour OER.
I found 2 books, one from OpenStax and the other from the University of Minnesota. They are both good, but I wanted to know if there is a Canadian one with case studies and examples from Canadian companies.
Thanking you in advance,

Subject: [Canadaoer] Now Open: Alberta's Provincial OER Publishing Program!
Dear colleagues,
The University of Alberta Library and the Alberta OER Technology and Infrastructure Working Group is pleased to announce the new Open Education Alberta<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/pressbooks.library.ualberta.ca/__;!!M91p…> program.
This no-fee provincial program seeks to eliminate barriers to adopting, adapting and creating open textbooks by providing Alberta post-secondary institutions with easy-to-use online publishing software. The University of Alberta Library will host and maintain the Pressbooks publishing software, and partner institutions will establish workflows and service models that fit their unique community needs.
Thank you to Mount Royal University, MacEwan University, University of Calgary, University of Lethbridge and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology for their contributions to the development of this program.
Why do we need this program?
Many institutions are eager to pursue the development of Open Education initiatives on their campuses, but do not have access to the technical infrastructure or staff to host the tools and software required to adapt or create new content. The UofA, which already manages a local OER publishing program, is well-positioned to expand its hosting to support more content, while institutions with special expertise in content and course creation, open pedagogy, scholarly communications, and project management, can contribute to the program through the development of content and supporting materials. Because the published textbooks will be openly available to anyone, the entire post-secondary community in Alberta can benefit from this collaborative program.
What are OER?
Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that allow free use and reuse, without charge. OERs often have a Creative Commons license<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/creativecommons.org/__;!!M91pNQ!dKzX454W…> that states specifically how the material may be used, reused, adapted, and shared.
What is Pressbooks?
Pressbooks<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/pressbooks.com/__;!!M91pNQ!dKzX454W-op0t…> is a simple publishing software for the authoring and publication of multimedia-rich print books, ebooks, and webbooks. The published books are shareable in multiple formats including pdf, epub, and mobi and can easily be adapted and updated using the Pressbooks software.
For more information, see https://pressbooks.library.ualberta.ca<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/pressbooks.library.ualberta.ca/__;!!M91p…> or contact library.publishing(a)ualberta.ca<mailto:library.publishing@ualberta.ca>

Any chance that someone has a lead on OER that is related to training, husbandry, and riding of horses? I'm not even sure where I would begin looking for this type of content so any help is appreciated!

Dear Canada OER,
I am so pleased to let you know that three new health and nursing related open education resources (OER) are now available for use. These resources were collaboratively authored by Ontario College and University faculty staff and students with added authoring expertise from health industry professionals, including Toronto Public Health.
Please see the complete message below.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Lena

Hi everyone. To add to the OER Funding conversations -- and this is really
just brainstorming -- but what about a campaign to flood / pitch to bolster
federal programs that provide publishing support? For example:
https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/funding/book-fund/publi…
Note
that eligible publishers, in this program anyway, include university
presses. Is it too far of a leap to make the case for library publishers to
be included as well? As we all know, many libraries are now acting as OA
publishers (for stats on that, see Sonya Betz and Doris Wagner. Exploring
the Value of Canada’s Library Publishers. Building Community, Building

Subject: [OpenEd] OpenEd Conference Update & Steering Committee Nominations
Date: February 18, 2020 at 12:44:46 PM EST
To: community(a)openeducationconference.org<mailto:community@openeducationconference.org>
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the partners who have stepped forward to provide interim support for the OpenEd conference—OpenStax<http://openstax.org/>, SPARC<http://sparcopen.org/>, the Colorado OER Council<http://masterplan.highered.colorado.gov/oer-in-colorado/>, and USM's Kirwan Center<https://www.usmd.edu/cai/>—we’d like to to express our thanks to all who took the time to read, comment on, and show support for our Proposal for #OpenEd20 and Beyond<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k15VwfREQI1eWUNpxEudA-LHow0I7C12E7ZBhvs…>. We look forward to working together with you over the next two years to organize OpenEd and transition the conference toward community ownership.
Now that there’s been a little time to get our collaboration up and running, we’re writing with a few initial steps. Please feel free to pass this email along anyone who may be interested.
OpenEd Community Email List
First, everyone who would like to participate in shaping the future of the OpenEd conference is welcome to join the community email discussion list<https://groups.google.com/a/openeducationconference.org/forum/#!forum/commu…>. This list will be used as an open communication channel for updates, planning discussions, and opportunities to join committees. You can subscribe and manage your preferences here<https://groups.google.com/a/openeducationconference.org/forum/#!forum/commu…> or complete this form<https://forms.gle/U3QPoMbh2apjyvh88>. (If you received this message directly, you're already subscribed!)
Call for Steering Committee Candidates
As outlined in the proposal, a key first step is to establish a Steering Committee to provide high-level guidance for conference organizing and long-term planning. A full description of the committee is available here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BbGQKTQsrL5X3ZA0B1IjsUrmHX8c8SBuUtrJ9pm…>, and there is an open form to submit candidate nominations/sign-ups here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxsgnMfrh4KaXdap-nqJ_r8UoiQ1_FRFb…>. Deadline: Tuesday February 25 11:59pm your local time. It is important to establish the Steering Committee quickly, since it will help set up additional committees and channels for community participation with more opportunities to come.
Timeline for 2020 Date & Location
We have begun exploring options in Denver, Colorado as the proposed location for #OpenEd20 this fall. The goal is to have a venue secured and dates announced by the first half of March. Updates will be sent to the community discussion list, and there is a sign up to receive announcements only here<https://forms.gle/UTvFnRWqpyPkFHKY7>.

An instructor in Biology teaches a course on evolution and is looking for open materials to replace the current commercial textbook. So far I found this:

Does anyone know of anything else I should point her toward?
Thank you.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of how TopHat’s textbook authoring works? We may be renewing our contract with them and TopHat wants instructors having access to do that to be part of a new contract. I need whatever I can find out to have evidence as to why this is probably a bad idea.
Thank you.

Hi Everyone,
As some of you may be aware, the University of Alberta will be hosting an
OER summit on May 20, 2020, and as part of the planning process, I've been
handed some leeway (thanks Krysta) for the final plenary session. Based on
some conversations with colleagues here in Alberta, one idea I've had is
that it would be nice to finish the day with some sort of tangible
outcome/takeaway. After ruminating about this for a bit (and in relation
to ongoing discussions over the listserv on national advocacy), I've been
thinking about how nice it would be to conclude the day with a declaration,
specifically in relation to OER funding.
If I had to sum up my thinking in a sentence it would be - the declaration
would call on governments that generate revenues from student loans to
invest 1% of those revenues into OER. This approach would end up
implicating the federal government because of the Canada Student Loans
Program (CSLP). For reference this number would work out to $8.73 million
this year (or roughly the same as the $8m the Finance Committee recommended
in 2017, and slightly less than the US Federal Investment, which is
currently $7 million, but in USD). My sense is that when you suggest 1% of
revenue go back into textbook affordability you have a reasonable starting
point. That said, I'm open to alternate suggestions.
In terms of background the federal government holds over $18 billion in
student debt (with an array of provincial and territorial programs adding
in another $10 billion in student loan debt). While there have been calls
for the elimination of all revenues on student debt (the Canadian
Federation of Students has argued for this, and the NDP had it in their
last platform), it is important to note that the CSLP program actually
doesn't 'profit' in that expenses are greater than revenues. Also, the
federal government rather regularly writes-off bad debt from the CSLP.
According to the most recent annual report from 2016-17 (
https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/canada-stud…)
the amount of bad debt the government writes off is in the $160-$175
million range, or (conveniently enough) 1% of the overall loan value. In
Jan of this year, the Feds wrote off another $163m (
https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/2019/01/28/liberals-write-off-163-…)
again in the roughly 1% amount range. Also, it should be noted that
revenues on the CSLP are predicted to grow (this isn't good news, but it
would mean that the 1% value would also increase). The Parliamentary
Budget Officer predicts that CSLP revenue will rise to $1.4b by 2024 (which
would make the OER fund about $14 million).
Thus, I'm reaching out to all of you to see if perhaps we might be able to
work toward some declaration. The idea being the declaration is worked on
in advance, and then read and signed at the May 20, 2020 event (of course
we'd have a mechanisms for those who can't be present in Edmonton to sign
the declaration). I'd be willing to do some leg work here locally to see
how we might get some broader pick-up of the declaration reading/signing.
As I noted earlier, I'm open to other suggestions on funding ideas, but I
thought targeting loan revenues was a) a way to implicate the federal
government, b) it also implicates most of the provinces (excluding QC) and
the Yukon, c) there is a degree of simplicity to this approach as opposed
to going after a marker tied to education spending. If there are a few
supporters, then I'm happy to try to see this through.
Finally, just before the holiday break, I mused at trying to frame some of
the issues for a Hill Times op-ed. I have a draft if anyone wanted to
critique/comment/add their name to it (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OUfYOsozemjcAoAiMfqpA-887eyEXqJAOeZk-6A…)
-
I'm happy for any feedback. I'll admit it is a clunky piece (dealing with
the idea of 1% of loan revenue funding mentioned earlier), but my rough
sense is the audience for a Hill Times op-ed isn't the general public. At
the end of the day, if this gets rejected (which wouldn't surprise me),
I'll probably still aim for something in *Policy Options*.

Hi All,
I'm working with an instructor who is developing a new course on user experience design, design thinking, and prototyping. I've looked at MERLOT, OERCommons, Open Textbook Library, eCampus Ontario, and BCcampus materials and I was wondering if anyone knows of any hidden gems from other repositories?
Thanks for your time!

This second webinar will focus on the value of open contracting for various sectors. We’ll examine and define open contracting and procurement and its role in providing a more inclusive access to Government of Canada contracts, as well as explore how open contracting can help small businesses.
Join our guest speakers, Lindsey Marchessault, Director for data and engagement at the Open Contracting Partnership and a member of the Multi-stakeholder Forum on Open Government<https://open.canada.ca/en/multi-stakeholder-forum-open-government>; Lorenzo Ieraci, Senior director at Public Services and Procurement Canada; and the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, to explore the following questions:
· What is open contracting and how does it impact various sectors?
· How can open government and open contracting help the private sector?
· What are the barriers and opportunities within the Government of Canada to adopting open contracting?
· How can open contracting be used as a tool for inclusion?
You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions.

Open data user stories
We often hear “Is open data really useful? Who uses open data? What value does it bring to citizens?” We often talk about open data and its potential but it can be difficult to see the real tangible impacts and how it powers innovations. This is why we’re pleased to announce the launch of our Open data user stories! Within this new section of open.canada.ca<https://open.canada.ca/en> you’ll find eight used cases ranging from organizations using open data to start and grow their business, to students completing their thesis work, to journalists creating valuable data visualizations to inform Canadians and more.
Check out this section<https://open.canada.ca/en/stories> and be sure to come back often as more stories will be released throughout the year.
Have you used open data? Know someone who’s used open data?
We’d love to hear your stories of how open data has helped power your projects. You can contact us at open-ouvert(a)tbs-sct.gc.ca<mailto:open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca> to tell us all about it!
Thank you,

Se mettre à jour avec notre série de webinaires
Joignez-vous à nous pour ce deuxième webinaire de notre série « Se mettre à jour » où vous apprendrez les bases et les sujets de l’heure liés au gouvernement ouvert. Cette série de webinaires vous préparera à participer à nos consultations de ce printemps (restez à l’affût!) où vous aurez l’occasion d’élaborer notre prochain Plan d’action national<https://ouvert.canada.ca/fr/contenu/plan-daction-national-du-canada-pour-un…>.
Ce deuxième webinaire sera consacré à la valeur des contrats ouverts pour différents secteurs. Nous examinerons et définirons ce que sont les contrats ouverts et l'approvisionnement ainsi que son rôle dans la prestation d'un accès plus inclusif aux marchés du gouvernement du Canada, ainsi que la manière dont les contrats ouverts peuvent aider les petites entreprises.
Joignez-vous à nos conférenciers invités, Carey Kluttz, responsable des programmes par pays chez Open Contracting Partnership, Lorenzo Ieraci, directeur général, Services publics et approvisionnement Canada ainsi que Diane Diotte, coordonnatrice du Bureau des entreprises en croissance du Réseau des femmes d’affaires du Québec, qui examineront les questions suivantes :
· Qu’est-ce que sont les contrats ouverts et comment peuvent-ils avoir un impact sur divers secteurs?
· Comment le gouvernement ouvert et les contrats ouverts peuvent aider le secteur privé?
· Quelles sont les barrières et les opportunités au sein du gouvernement du Canada en ce qui concerne l’adoption de contrats ouverts?
· Comment les contrats ouverts peuvent-ils être utilisés comme un outil d'inclusion?
Vous aurez également l’opportunité de poser vos questions.
Les services de Traduction en temps réel des communications (CART)<https://www.chs.ca/fr/services/transcription-de-la-parole-cart-traduction-e…> seront disponibles pour ce webinaire afin d’accroître l’accessibilité pour les personnes sourdes, sourdes oralistes, devenues sourdes et malentendantes.

Histoires des utilisateurs de données ouvertes
Nous entendons souvent dire « Les données ouvertes sont-elles vraiment utiles? Qui utilise les données ouvertes? Quelle valeur apportent-elles aux citoyens? ». Nous parlons souvent de données ouvertes et de leur potentiel, mais il peut être difficile de voir leurs véritables impacts et la façon dont elles facilitent l’innovation. C'est pourquoi nous sommes heureux d'annoncer le lancement de nos histoires d'utilisateurs de données ouvertes! Dans cette nouvelle section du portail ouvert.canada.ca<https://ouvert.canada.ca/fr>, vous trouverez huit cas d'utilisation allant d'organisations utilisant des données ouvertes pour démarrer et développer leur entreprise, à des étudiants terminant leur thèse, en passant par des journalistes créant des visualisations de données précieuses pour informer les Canadiens et bien plus encore.
Consultez cette section<https://ouvert.canada.ca/fr/histoires> et assurez-vous de revenir souvent car d'autres histoires seront publiées tout au long de l'année.
Avez-vous utilisé des données ouvertes ? Vous connaissez quelqu'un qui a utilisé des données ouvertes ?
Nous aimerions en apprendre plus sur vos histoires où les données ouvertes ont contribué à faciliter vos projets. Vous pouvez nous contacter à open-ouvert(a)tbs-sct.gc.ca<file:///C:\Users\BLAMARCH\AppData\Roaming\OpenText\OTEdit\gcdocs_tbs-sct_gc_ca-gcdocs\c34956508\open-ouvert%40tbs-sct.gc.ca%20> pour tout nous raconter!

Good Morning,
Saskatchewan Polytechnic, University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan are jointly hosting a Teaching and Learning<https://saskpolytech.ca/tlt2020/> conference in Regina on May 5th and 6th. The Call for Proposals has just been extended until February 7th and the research pathways are listed below. In particular, I think that #3 and #4 are a good fit for this group. All proposals will go through a blind peer review process and we are aiming to send out notifications by the end of February.
1. Identifying the doors – Recognizing the barriers (e.g.: non-traditional learners, language barriers, technology gaps, intersecting diversities)
2. Handing over the keys - Decolonization (e.g.: learner driven institutional priorities, calls to action, success of Indigenous students, International education)
3. Unlocking the doors - Inclusive education and accessibility (e.g.: student and learning supports, open pedagogy, peer mentoring)
4. Every door is the right door – Meeting learners where they are (e.g.: co-creating syllabi, curriculum, student choice in assessment)
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or find me on Twitter @2020Tlt or @tmmaddison. I hope to see some of you in Regina later this year.
Have a lovely weekend,
Tasha Maddison
Librarian

Dear community members:
With 2020 already in full swing we need to act quickly to organize a community-based open education conference in North America. The open education community called out for support for #OpenEd20 and many have already stepped forward, https://tinyurl.com/openedcollaborators<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Nkk0oJtGJEdbdu2WV7pnFttjeM9m4-UnqqQ…>. From this call, a group of 65+ members of the community recently held a call to identify potential next steps.
We realize that all members of our community were not able to join that call so we wanted to share out the notes [here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1daGqwSOy820t_TdLYXF4hXBeydYRQfUydux613-…>] and invite everyone to add contributions or feedback.
With a large scale effort like this on a quick turnaround we will need the support of the community to successfully execute a 2020 conference. We are inviting those who may not have been on the call to volunteer their and/or their organization’s time, energy, and resources to this effort. In particular, we need to hear from community members/entities that are interested in being fiscal agents/partners for a 2020 or 2021 event; have any venue locations that can be made in-kind; and those individuals who want to serve on conference committees.
If you are interested in having your voice be a part of the process to determine next steps in the planning please fill out this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmKWXdM3r4XQIt5hEOURZMdRnzSZ_Xn1t…> by EOD Monday February 3rd. Please note if you already filled this out in response to the call in November, you do not need to do so again, but you are welcome to update or add to your information. Those who sign up will be added to a Google Group that will be used to communicate next steps in the process. Please note that the community may begin the next communications by February 3rd, so please sign up now if you are interested in partnering to support or volunteering your services.
In support of open education,
Fellow OER Community Members

Sorry for the cross-post.
I have an instructor here who is interested in a historical geology open textbook. We haven’t been able to find anything, but I thought I’d enquire:
1 - Does anyone know of existing resources?
2 - Does anyone know of any resources in the works?
3 - Does anyone have any interest in potentially partnering on a such a project?
Thank you.

Dear Canada OER Community,
The team behind the University of Alberta’s Opening Up Copyright
instructional modules is pleased to share another update on the series.
This past fall several new instructional modules have been created and
existing modules revised. The new and rebuilt modules are:
-
Interlibrary Loan and Controlled Digital Lending (starring Goodbrarian
and Animal)
-
Licensed Library Resources
-
s. 29 Fair Dealing
-
Images (rebuild)
-
SOCAN v. Bell (rebuild)
-
Open Licensing and Creative Commons (rebuild)
There are now more than 20 modules available. All of the modules can be
found here: https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/
We’d also like to emphasize that these modules are published under a
Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence so that they can be adopted
and adapted by anyone. On the page for each module you will find a link to
the associated script and slides, to allow for adaptation. The scripts and
slides are also made available under a CC-BY licence.
We’ve also added a new page to the OUC website, Scholarly Contributions
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/scholarly-contributions/>,
where you can access presentations and journal articles that have been
generated through the project.
In addition, we would like to highlight the Opening Up Copyright Community
Pages (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Ul4YeOovdLOEaczPK7RipG_OgOd7etOcJI8ppT…)
The Community Pages provide an overview of the entire suite of modules to
be developed as part of the series, and also indicates which modules are
currently under development. Furthermore, we encourage you to contribute
to the individual module pages, where we hope to collect your ideas,
feedback or suggestions. Please consider sharing suggestions for Learning
Objectives, ideas for Narratives or Contextual Stories, Test Questions,
Links to Useful Resources, or Other Suggestions for modules that interest
you. You also have the option of including your name on these pages, so
that we can provide attribution for your contributions at the end of the
module. Feedback can also be sent directly to copyright(a)ualberta.ca with
the subject line “OER Copyright Module.”
We’re also happy to hear how the OUC modules are being used. If you are
linking to, adopting or adapting the modules we would love to hear about it
at on our OUC Module Use Community Page (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JrSd5PWShvyExN8NEZOgFpuTaF8DhKrkkgkmWSC…
)
The Opening Up Copyright instructional modules series receives funding
through the Centre for Teaching and Learning’s Teaching and Learning
Enhancement Fund

Hi All,
I remember reading a twitter announcement for a research article in the last month or so that reported on the relationship between OER use and open pedagogy practices in the classroom. My searches now are coming up empty - can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks Christina and Gryph for facilitating the CC Canada discussion.
In terms of next steps with regard to national advocacy and pushing for
funding, I was thinking of trying to write an Op-Ed fro *The Hill Times *to
frame and problematize the need for more funding, and then following this
with a longer more detailed piece for *Policy Options *both in the new
year. I'd be happy to collaborate on either if anyone is interested.
Also, there is a clear need to engage with both CASA (
https://www.casa-acae.com/) and the CFS (https://cfs-fcee.ca/) on the
advocacy front. I have a step removed connection to CASA that I could
follow up on, but no connection at all with the CFS.

New open textbooks on Ethics & Philosophy of Mind
I am happy to announce the publication of the second book in a series of open textbooks for Introduction to Philosophy courses: Introduction to Philosophy: Ethics<https://press.rebus.community/intro-to-phil-ethics/>, edited by George Matthews (Plymouth State University, New Hampshire, USA). The first book in the series is Introduction to Philosophy: Philosophy of Mind<https://press.rebus.community/intro-to-phil-of-mind/>, edited by Heather Salazar<https://www1.wne.edu/arts-and-sciences/faculty.cfm?uid=755> (Western New England University).
Introduction to Philosophy: Ethics explores both historical and contemporary approaches to understanding and justifying moral and ethical norms. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including moral relativism, the relationship between ethics and religion, virtue ethics in the Western and Eastern traditions, the question of self-interest and ethics, utilitarianism, Kantian deontological ethics, and recent work in feminist ethics and evolutionary ethics.
Introduction to Philosophy: Philosophy of Mind surveys the central themes in philosophy of mind and places them in a historical and contemporary context intended to engage first-time readers in the field. It focuses on debates about the status and character of the mind and its seemingly subjective nature in an apparently more objective world. Written by experts and emerging researchers in their subject areas, chapters focus on substance dualism, materialism, behaviorism, functionalism, property dualism, qualia, concepts, and freedom of the will.
The books are free of cost for the digital version and can be read online or downloaded in multiple formats. They have an open license (Creative Commons Attribution, CC BY<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/>) that allows revision and redistribution, with the requirement of attributing the original creators.
Please let us know if you plan to use the books or any of the chapters for teaching, by filling in the adoption form!<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwf2E7bRGvWefjhNZ07kgpgnNFxVxxp-i…>
About the Introduction to Philosophy open textbook series published with the support of the Rebus Community
There are nine books planned for the Introduction to Philosophy open textbook series<https://www1.rebus.community/#/project/4ec7ecce-d2b3-4f20-973c-6b6502e7cbb2> at this point. Logic, Philosophy of Religion, and Aesthetics will be published in the coming months and there are also books in the works on Metaphysics, Epistemology, Philosophy of Science, and Social and Political Philosophy. Each book has its own editor, with Christina Hendricks (University of British Columbia Vancouver) serving as overall series editor.
The books are designed to be used for courses that introduce philosophical topics to students with little to no background in the field. They focus on foundational concepts and debates, both historical and contemporary, in their respective areas.
Please see the current call for volunteers<https://www.rebus.community/t/volunteer-sign-up/622> if you’d like to help out with the project! And if you have questions or comments about the project or any of the books, please let us know on the discussion pages for the project.<https://www.rebus.community/c/open-textbooks-in-development/introduction-to…>
If you have any questions, please let me know!

We read your posting with great interest. CARL (Canadian Association of Research Libraries) has been having similar discussions. We would be most willing to collaborate on a joint effort at national OER advocacy.

Subject: [Canadaoer] National OER Advocacy for the Next Federal Election
Dear Canada OER Community,
I was reflecting on the fact that we recently went through a federal election campaign where affordability was a central concern for seemingly every party, even to the point of floating vague promises (e.g. wireless mobile cost reductions with little specifics on how this would be practically achieved). Specifically, the NDP noted post-secondary affordability as a key issue, but its focus was more on tuition and grants, and it appeared, to the best of my knowledge, silent on textbook costs.
Many parties also seemed relatively unconcerned about making expenditure promises if they figured they would garner votes. Couple these with the fact we are likely looking at a shorter time frame to the next election (most saying 18 to 24 months) and that every party will be looking to improve on their performance from earlier in the month, and I was wondering if there was interest in trying to get OER funding on to any of the federal party's radar (with the hope that given it is a relatively non-partisan issue, that if one party were to propose OER funding others may simply adopt it).
I think there might be a variety of approaches/strategies to pursue to get OER funding, but thought I would see if there was some collective interest in pursuing this.
Michael

I plan on attending and would be happy to put forward our ideas at the meeting if that is acceptable.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

**Deadline: November 25, 2019**
CARL, along with sponsor BCcampus, invites nominations for participants to the Open Education Leadership Essentials (OeLE) workshop, January 27-28 (immediately prior to the OLA SuperConference) at Ryerson University, Toronto. The OeLE has been designed by the CARL Open Education Working Group as a way to provide Canadian library practitioners active in open education with the information, skills and resources to lead in this area. The event will engage participants with presentations, community building sessions, and hands-on activities that will provide participants with the building blocks to implement OE programs on their own campuses. This event is intended for active open education practitioners within libraries at Canadian post-secondary educational institutions. Given that there is a maximum registration of 65 for this workshop, the organizers will prioritize regional representation while also ensuring participation of those with demonstrated engagement with open education when deciding on the final attendee list.
Important notes:
* Only one nomination should be submitted per institution. Please ensure the individual nominated is able to attend the event on January 27-28, 2020. (Note: In the event that all 65 spaces are not taken by unique representatives from Canadian institutions, we will turn to a waitlist. To have a second person from your institution added to this waitlist, please email lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin@carl-abrc.ca>.)
* Nominations must be submitted by the institution’s University Librarian or Associate University Librarian (or equivalent) no later than Monday, November 25th, 2019. We are aiming to communicate the list of selected attendees on Monday, December 2. Please note that there will be a registration fee of $100, but that this fee will be waived for members of the CARL Open Education Working Group.
* CARL member libraries will each have one secured seat for the event. However, the secured seat will be opened to others if a nomination is not received by the deadline.
Please note that in the months following the event, OeLE participants will be expected to collaborate with the CARL Open Education Working Group to extend this learnings into their regions via the creation and delivery of introductory satellite events which aim to develop a general understanding of core open education concepts and issues across academic libraries across the country.

Appel de candidatures de participants : Open Education Leadership Essentials (OeLE) Event [Principes fondamentaux du leadership en éducation ouverte]
Les 27 et 28 janvier, Toronto, ON – Ryerson University
**Date limite : le 25 novembre 2019**
L’ABRC, avec le soutien de son partenaire BCcampus, lance un appel de candidatures de participants à l’atelier Open Education Leadership Essentials qui aura lieu les 27 et 28 janvier (immédiatement avant la Superconférence de l’OLA) à la Ryerson University, à Toronto. L’événement OeLE a été conçu par le Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC comme un moyen de fournir aux bibliothécaires canadiens actifs en éducation ouverte l’information, les compétences et les ressources nécessaires pour être chefs de file dans ce domaine. L’événement permettra aux participants d’assister à des présentations et de participer à des séances de développement communautaire et des activités pratiques qui leur fourniront les éléments de base pour mettre en œuvre des programmes d’éducation ouverte sur leur propre campus. Cet événement s’adresse aux praticiens de l’éducation ouverte actifs dans les bibliothèques des établissements d’enseignement postsecondaire du Canada. Étant donné qu’il y a un maximum de 65 inscriptions pour cet atelier, les organisateurs accorderont la priorité à la représentation régionale tout en assurant la participation de ceux qui ont démontré leur engagement à l’égard de l’éducation ouverte au moment de décider de la liste finale des participants.
Détails importants :
* Une seule candidature doit être soumise par établissement. Veuillez vous assurer que la personne proposée peut assister à l’événement les 27 et 28 janvier 2020. (Remarque : Si les 65 places ne sont pas toutes prises par des représentants uniques d’autres établissements canadiens, nous utiliserons une liste d’attente. Pour ajouter une deuxième personne de votre établissement à cette liste d’attente, veuillez envoyer un courriel à lise.brin(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:lise.brin@carl-abrc.ca>.)
* Les candidatures doivent être soumises par le/la bibliothécaire universitaire ou bibliothécaire universitaire associée (ou rôle équivalent) au plus tard le lundi 25 novembre 2019. Nous avons l’intention de communiquer la liste des participants sélectionnés le lundi 2 décembre. Veuillez noter que des frais d’inscription de 100 $ seront appliqués pour les candidats retenus, mais que les membres du Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC seront exemptés de ces frais.
* Les bibliothèques membres de l’ABRC auront chacune un siège réservé pour l’événement. Cependant, ce siège réservé sera offert à un autre établissement si une candidature n’est pas reçue avant la date limite.
Veuillez noter qu’au cours des mois suivant l’événement, les participants à l’atelier sur les principes fondamentaux des chefs de file en éducation ouverte devront collaborer avec le Groupe de travail sur l’éducation ouverte de l’ABRC afin de diffuser les connaissances acquises dans leurs régions par la création et l’offre d’événements satellites de niveau débutant visant à acquérir une compréhension générale des principaux concepts et questions d’éducation ouverte dans l’ensemble des bibliothèques universitaires partout au pays.

Dear Canadian Colleagues,
OpenStax has identified a company in Canada, Vretta, that has agreed to distribute hard back copies of its open textbooks. This is the result of a discussion between OpenStax and BCcampus two years ago. Many Canadian instructors like/prefer these hardcopy versions vs. print-on-demand (PoD) books because of their layout and for their more durable hard cover. (Many PoD copies are soft cover.) Also, the cost of the pre-printed, full colour books are about 50% less than the colour PoD in the BC Collection.
I am currently working to establish a plan and process for providing this opportunity to students, faculties and bookstores at BC's post-secondary institutions (including how this might work for OpenStax books in the BC Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/>), as well as Canada's other colleges, institutes and universities. No formal announcement has been made to the BC or Canadian post-secondary sector, though OpenStax participated in a couple of press releases in July:
* Newswire/Cison News: OpenStax and Vretta partner to distribute OER print textbooks for Canadian students<https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/openstax-and-vretta-partner-to-distri…>
* Markets Insider<https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/openstax-and-vretta-partner…>
You will also find a link on the OpenStax page here: https://openstax.org/bookstore-suppliers
I will be meeting with Vretta, again, Thursday morning. If possible, please send me answers to one or all of the below items by late Wednesday (tomorrow)/early Thursday (before 9:30am).
* Is there interest at your institution or project in these books? Include specific titles and number of potential buyers if available.
* Would your bookstore would be interested in ordering these books for sale to students? (Bookstores will be offered a discount on orders.)
* Would your institution and/or bookstore be interested in providing a link to the order form on its website?
* How many lead up time does your institution/faculty need to order textbooks for a term?
* Other questions, comments, feedback.
If you are unable to respond in time for my meeting, feel free to send your comments later.
Thanks and regards,

hope this will generate interest among the Alberta OER Community of
Practice as well as ABC attendees from across Canada to infuse our
community with a rich discussion of OER spanning policy, copyright,
pedagogy, technology, and copyright.
Attendance is free but we will be sharing an RSVP link in the future. The
draft schedule is below. The schedule will continue to be updated, along
with an RSVP form, here

I’m not as familiar with university listservs as I’ve only worked at the polytechnic level. I am aware of the Canadian OER listserv (Canada OER, canadaoer(a)mail.bccampus.ca ) but the membership is a wide range of academic and non-academic folks.
Would CAPAL have a listserv that would be appropriate? Other than that, I’m only aware of provincial organizations such as AAAL (Alberta Association of Academic Libraries). I can forward this information to AAAL as I’m a member.

Hi Jessica, thank you for reaching out. I have included below the call for nominations that we released last Friday. You will note that the form must be completed by the University Librarian (or Associate University Librarian) and that only one person can be recommended per institution.
Our outreach to colleges and institutes has been quite uneven – do you perhaps know if there is an association of libraries within institutes? I would happily ask them to distribute this message to their members. Any suggestions you can offer would be appreciated!

I am pulling together a little report on community of practice for OE in
Canada for the CARL OER Librarians group. I wanted to include the Canada

It certainly appears we have enough interest, and perhaps the right timing to get something going, and I quite appreciate Lena's idea that we don't need to solve this all at once. A few questions to I've been thinking about over the past few days:
1) How do we want to keep this conversation going? Do we continue it as a long email thread discussion; do we want to plan a conference call; is there another approach most well suited?
2) Would the goal be to influence the government, with the goal of policy implementation in the short term, or do we go for the parties so that this would be an issue in the next election (or do we just aim for both objectives)? Relatedly does anyone have any expertise on the limitations under the Lobbying Act/know of a good resource for explaining such rules and limitations?
3) Are we aiming to build a single voice for advocacy bringing together all the interested groups, or do we want to develop key messages and a common set of numbers/stats and let individuals groups pursue their own approach?

Hello everyone,
I agree that the time is ripe for this. One important step that would boost any efforts in this direction would be if the UNESCO OER recommendation receives approval later this month at the general conference. If this happens it will create a broader international obligation for our federal government in support of which we can help articulate an effective strategy. If you are unfamiliar with the recommendation see: https://unesco.ijs.si/project/unesco-recommendation-on-open-educational-res…

Hi everyone, observing this conversation with interest.
I’m wondering if part of the plan could leverage CICAN, who are already doing advocacy work with the fed gov’t on behalf on colleges and institutes (https://www.collegesinstitutes.ca/policyfocus/) . They are well resourced and well established with v. large membership and it might be worth a phone call with Denise Amyot – a few years ago I was invited to do a talk at their annual conference on open education and innovation…turns out it was sponsored by a publisher - which was awkward - but there was quite a bit of interest by people in the room about the textbook cost problem.

Heather, I was thinking of initiatives along the lines you mention.
I agree with Nick. With the education portfolio being of provincial jurisdiction, it makes it tricky to target the Federal Government for funding. Having said that, they fund specific projects. Indigenous ed is one, the whole Trades Harmonization project is another. Tim will know all about that ☺
Maybe there is room to work strategically around federally funded projects to generate awareness and even engage in conversations about policy… Just a thought. I would love to see Canada have a national policy / directive on Open Education! A lot of Caribbean Governments do…. The Commonwealth of Learning could provide advise on how to go about it.

Hi all,
I would certainly be on board with this! It would be fantastic to see a national initiative in this area, and I would throw anything at it to make that happen.
There is a massive impediment to it though, as with any national level higher ed project, and that is where to pitch it because there is not a natural home for this ask within the federal government. Without a ministry, it is very hard to get government to care about it, especially since it is in an area that is a provincial mandate and with the provinces clearly not happy with the feds right now. I don't want to pour cold water on the idea, but want to be realistic about the uphill battle it would be to even get noticed, let alone a commitment to resources.
Having said that, I think there are elements that could possibly fit within these departments:
* Innovation, Science, and Economic Development (probably the closest bet)
* Employment and Social Development (a long shot, but ESD administers student loans so maybe)
* Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism (another long shot, but could be targeted campaign around the things they care about - have to be creative here)
* Treasury Board and Ministry of Digital Government (yes, we have one of those)
* Open Government - would need to be creative and it doesn't directly have a ministerial portfolio attached (but falls under the above's purview), so less likely to get funding, but Canada is the OGP chair this year, and has committed to the Open by default approach (which has recently filtered into things like procurement of software as well), so may be able to leverage this, plus the tri-council open requirements.
At the provincial level, anywhere we have a conservative government, as in my own province of Ontario, is going to be a blocker to this for a number of reasons. With that in mind though, conservative governments are making higher ed less accessible to their constituents, more expensive if you do manage to get in, and generally disinvesting in this file, so there is an opportunity to hammer the alternative parties to be the opposite.
So I think it will be a tough sell, but absolutely worthwhile trying.
Cheers
Nick

Subject: [Canadaoer] National OER Advocacy for the Next Federal Election
Dear Canada OER Community,
I was reflecting on the fact that we recently went through a federal election campaign where affordability was a central concern for seemingly every party, even to the point of floating vague promises (e.g. wireless mobile cost reductions with little specifics on how this would be practically achieved). Specifically, the NDP noted post-secondary affordability as a key issue, but its focus was more on tuition and grants, and it appeared, to the best of my knowledge, silent on textbook costs.
Many parties also seemed relatively unconcerned about making expenditure promises if they figured they would garner votes. Couple these with the fact we are likely looking at a shorter time frame to the next election (most saying 18 to 24 months) and that every party will be looking to improve on their performance from earlier in the month, and I was wondering if there was interest in trying to get OER funding on to any of the federal party's radar (with the hope that given it is a relatively non-partisan issue, that if one party were to propose OER funding others may simply adopt it).
I think there might be a variety of approaches/strategies to pursue to get OER funding, but thought I would see if there was some collective interest in pursuing this.
Michael

November 14, 2019 – The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) has released a statement on open education.
CARL believes that the mission of universities is to create and disseminate knowledge, and that an open scholarship system that is accessible to all readers offers the surest path towards positively impacting human life on all parts of the globe. CARL further believes that opening all forms of scholarship to wide scrutiny enhances quality, increases accountability and promotes collaboration – thus leading to higher visibility and impact. Open education practices align well with these principles, as they reduce barriers to education, leverage technology to improve teaching and learning, and can result in high quality learning experiences.

14 novembre 2019 – L’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada (ABRC) a publié une déclaration sur l'éducation ouverte.
L’ABRC est d’avis que les universités ont pour mission de créer et de diffuser des connaissances, et qu’un système d’érudition ouverte disponible à tous constitue la meilleure façon d’avoir une incidence positive sur la vie humaine dans toutes les régions du monde. L’ABRC croit en outre que le fait de soumettre toutes les formes d’érudition ouverte à un examen approfondi améliore la qualité, renforce la responsabilisation, favorise la collaboration et accroît ainsi la visibilité et l’impact.
Les pratiques en matière d’éducation ouverte s’harmonisent bien avec ces principes, car elles réduisent les obstacles à l’éducation, tirent parti de la technologie pour améliorer l’enseignement et l’apprentissage, et peuvent se traduire par des expériences d’apprentissage de grande qualité.

It certainly appears we have enough interest, and perhaps the right timing to get something going, and I quite appreciate Lena's idea that we don't need to solve this all at once. A few questions to I've been thinking about over the past few days:
1) How do we want to keep this conversation going? Do we continue it as a long email thread discussion; do we want to plan a conference call; is there another approach most well suited?
2) Would the goal be to influence the government, with the goal of policy implementation in the short term, or do we go for the parties so that this would be an issue in the next election (or do we just aim for both objectives)? Relatedly does anyone have any expertise on the limitations under the Lobbying Act/know of a good resource for explaining such rules and limitations?
3) Are we aiming to build a single voice for advocacy bringing together all the interested groups, or do we want to develop key messages and a common set of numbers/stats and let individuals groups pursue their own approach?

Hello everyone,
I agree that the time is ripe for this. One important step that would boost any efforts in this direction would be if the UNESCO OER recommendation receives approval later this month at the general conference. If this happens it will create a broader international obligation for our federal government in support of which we can help articulate an effective strategy. If you are unfamiliar with the recommendation see: https://unesco.ijs.si/project/unesco-recommendation-on-open-educational-res…

Hi everyone, observing this conversation with interest.
I’m wondering if part of the plan could leverage CICAN, who are already doing advocacy work with the fed gov’t on behalf on colleges and institutes (https://www.collegesinstitutes.ca/policyfocus/) . They are well resourced and well established with v. large membership and it might be worth a phone call with Denise Amyot – a few years ago I was invited to do a talk at their annual conference on open education and innovation…turns out it was sponsored by a publisher - which was awkward - but there was quite a bit of interest by people in the room about the textbook cost problem.

Heather, I was thinking of initiatives along the lines you mention.
I agree with Nick. With the education portfolio being of provincial jurisdiction, it makes it tricky to target the Federal Government for funding. Having said that, they fund specific projects. Indigenous ed is one, the whole Trades Harmonization project is another. Tim will know all about that ☺
Maybe there is room to work strategically around federally funded projects to generate awareness and even engage in conversations about policy… Just a thought. I would love to see Canada have a national policy / directive on Open Education! A lot of Caribbean Governments do…. The Commonwealth of Learning could provide advise on how to go about it.

Subject: [Canadaoer] Course on Open Educational Practices
Hello.
I’m wondering if any of your institutions or institutions you know of offer a course in the College of Education on OER / open pedagogy?
Also, I’m sure there was a MOOC around this, but can’t find it. If you have the link I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hey Heather,
Not a faculty of Ed course, but Library Juice Academy offers an intro to OER/OEP course (http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/147-oer.php) I’ve just taken over the curriculum from Sarah Hare, but I know that she’s had non-librarians take the course in the past.

Hi Heather –
Not sure if this was the MOOC you had in mind, but Jenni Hayman led one back in Spring 2018 called Making Sense of Open Education<https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/view.php?id=3237>.
Best,
Maureen
