INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN A STUDY ABOUT THE USE OER DURING THE COVID-19
PANDEMIC
Dear Teachers,
My name is Viviane Vladimirschi and I have a Doctorate in Education with a
specialization in Distance Education and Open Education. I have been
working as a consultant, researcher and instructional designer in this area
since 2002.
I am conducting a study for the Open University of England (OUK) that aims
to explore the many challenges that K-12 teachers faced when using
emergency remote learning during the pandemic period and if, at all, and in
which ways you have made use of Open Educational Resources (OER) or Open
Educational Practices (OEP) in your pedagogical practices during this
period. The criteria to participate in this study is that you teach K-12
and have familiarity with the use of OER.
The study will take place over 6 months. During this period, you will be
invited to participate in a 45-to-60-minute online interview individually.
After this initial interview, you will be invited to participate in an
online workshop so that I can validate the data collected and analyzed
during the online interview.
The risks associated with participating in this study are negligible and
participation is voluntary. Data containing comments regarding
participation in the online interview and online workshop will not include
information capable of identifying participants, and names will be replaced
by pseudonyms.
The benefits are your contribution to a better understanding of what
obstacles were present during this pandemic period, how these obstacles
were overcome, and whether the use of OER supported your professional
practice.
This study will help inform new sharing policies or practices in times of
crisis, which is significant for the teaching practices of K-12 teachers in
Canada and for the profession as a whole.
I deeply appreciate your collaboration and I ask that you respond to this
email by March 18, indicating your participation or not in this study and
indicating your preferred day and time to conduct the online interview. As
soon as I receive a response from you, I will send you the Informed
Consensus form.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me
at any time.
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Viviane

Happy Open Education Week everyone!
At Kwantlen Polytechnic University we are proud to have built world-leading institutional supports for open education, including for our ground-breaking Zero Textbook Cost program<https://www.kpu.ca/open/ztc>, the creation, adaptation, and adoption of open educational resources<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/catalog/openkpu> (including a grant<https://www.kpu.ca/open/grants> and publishing<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> program), and faculty fellowships for open pedagogy<https://www.kpu.ca/open/un-sdg-fellowship> and open education research<https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship>.
Today I am thrilled to share that we have developed and are now launching a comprehensive, flexible, and online training program for learners worldwide. Our new Professional Program in Open Education<https://youtu.be/4GShBIbi7PA> is the ideal professional development opportunity for educators, practitioners, technologists, librarians, leaders, policymakers, and others who endeavour to widen equitable access to education. This program is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation for new practitioners as well as to complement and significantly advance the expertise of those already working to support open education.
This program is designed to develop expertise and capacity across a broad spectrum of open educational practices, including open educational resources and pedagogies, educational technologies, policy, advocacy, and scholarship. The program balances both theoretical and practical elements, always ensuring that critical perspectives and issues are foregrounded. The program is open to all and does not require institutional membership or sponsorship.
Post-secondary institutions, non-profit organizations, government agencies, foundations, GLAM, and other groups seeking to advance the goals of open education may draw on this program to develop their staff expertise and capacity. The program is intentionally designed to include practical elements and provides the opportunity for participants to develop and refine organization-specific tools, policies, and programs.
The courses in the Professional Program in Open Education have been developed by globally-recognized experts and are offered through KPU’s Continuing & Professional Studies. To express interest in enrolling in this program (commencing Fall 2022) or to learn more, visit: https://www.kpu.ca/cps/open-education

Wow.
Learning to be Human Together – Simple Book Publishing (pressbooks.pub)<https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/onhumanlearn/>
Had heard of the project, as most of you probably have. The fact that it’s officially out provides me with a strange sense of hope.
After just a few minutes perusing some of the content and checking the structure, I get a sense of the meaningful actions which run through this project and which will likely extend beyond, for years to come.
Call me naïve: I feel this might be the beginning of quite a journey for many of us.
So, congratulations and thanks to everyone involved. You’re helping us situate ourselves.
