Hello all.
There's been some restructuring in our library, which has resulted in changes in some priorities. As such, after many years of trying, our library is now interested in playing a role in our open educational practices initiative. I'm wondering if anyone has any librarian-specific resources to help me "onboard" them to an existing initiative that has been run by the Teaching and Learning Centre for the past 8 years.
Thank you.

Call for Expressions of Interest to CARL's Open Education Working Group<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/call-for-expressions-of-interest-to-carls-ope…>
In 2019, CARL identified open education leadership as an important area for capacity building within its institutions and outlined activities and programs designed to bolster this emerging area of practice and support the development of national leadership in this arena. The Open Education Working Group<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…> is responsible for these activities and programs.
CARL is currently in the process of membership renewal for this working group. We are therefore seeking expressions of interest from those involved in open education at Canadian institutions interested in serving on the group. Terms will begin in July 2022 and end in June 2024. For more information on the proposed activities of the group, consult the Draft Terms of Reference<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QmEfEI2IdKg9_cV1f0uTcKhCyS_jjAGFEC1DHXj…> for the second mandate of the group.
CARL encourages equitable participation in all of our working groups. Members will be selected based on geographic, linguistic, expertise, and diversity, equity and inclusion considerations. Ability to understand both French and English will be deemed an asset. The working group will be chaired by a member of CARL’s Advancing Research Committee, currently Joy Kirchner.
Please send nominations or expressions of interest to Karen Nicholson at karen.nicholson(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:karen.nicholson@carl-abrc.ca> no later than Friday, June 24, 2022. These should detail prior experience and expertise with OER and why this working group interests you, while also clearly expressing how your perspective would benefit CARL’s OER program. 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.
L’ABRC procède actuellement au renouvellement de la composition de ce groupe de travail. Nous sommes donc à la recherche de manifestations d’intérêt de la part des intervenants en éducation ouverte de bibliothèques canadiennes qui souhaitent y participer. 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. Ces dernières doivent décrire en détail votre expérience et votre expertise antérieures en matière de ressources éducatives libres, ainsi que les raisons pour lesquelles ce groupe de travail vous intéresse, tout en exprimant clairement en quoi votre point de vue serait bénéfique pour le programme de RÉL de l’ABRC. Veuillez confirmer que vous avez l’appui de votre directeur de bibliothèque (ou l’équivalent) dans votre déclaration d’intérêt.
Pour toute question au sujet de ce groupe de travail, n’hésitez pas à communiquer avec moi à karen.nicholson(a)carl-abrc.ca<mailto:karen.nicholson@carl-abrc.ca>.

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

Oki, Amba'wastitch, Danit'ada, Tân'si, Hello. I would like to acknowledge that SAIT is situated on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which, today encompasses the Indigenous people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta: the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina, the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the Northwest Métis Homeland - Region 3. The City of Calgary is part of a region that the Blackfoot tribes of Southern Alberta described as Moh'kinsstis, meaning 'Elbow,' in reference to its location at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers.
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!
Christina

The CARL Open Education Working Group<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/advancing-research/scholarly-communication/open-ed…> invites you to the fifteenth call in this series of informal gatherings for individuals involved in open education (OE) in Canada (faculty, instructors, librarians, students, instructional designers, etc.). This month, we are bringing the Canadian open education community together for our annual OE Cross Country Check-In (inspired by the calls BCcampus has organized in recent years). This event will feature a series of mini-updates (2-3 min. per speaker!) on policy or funding news, achievements, and emerging efforts in Open Education. As always, our notetakers extraordinaire will capture essential details in our running notes document. We have invited colleagues from across Canada to give updates.
Calls in this series typically take place on the third Wednesday of most months. While this month’s discussion will be primarily in English, bilingual moderators will be on hand to help ensure participants are able to contribute in the official language of their choice.
Whether you’re an OECCCC regular or new to the group, please join us, settle in with your beverage of choice and prepare for some coast-to-coast sharing and networking.

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.
Cheers,
Jessica

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."
Cheers,
Jessica
