New open textbooks for Philosophy: Ethics & Philosophy of Mind

by Hendricks, Christina

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.

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.

National OER Advocacy for the Next Federal Election

by Joy Kirchner

Hello Michael, 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. Regards, Joy Kirchner (on behalf of CARL) ********** Joy Kirchner Dean of Libraries York University From: Canadaoer <canadaoer-bounces(a)mail.bccampus.ca> on behalf of Michael McNally <mmcnally(a)ualberta.ca> Date: Thursday, October 31, 2019 at 9:06 PM To: Canada OER <canadaoer(a)mail.bccampus.ca> 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 -- Michael B.

Voir les détails ci-dessous. **** Message bilingue – bilingual message. Call for Attendee Nominations: Open Education Leadership Essentials (OeLE) Event January 27-28, Toronto, ON – Ryerson University **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.

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. > Click here<https://form.simplesurvey.com/f/l/oele-nominations> to access nomination form **** 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.

Canadian distribution of hard back OpenStax textbooks - questions and feedback

by Lauri Aesoph

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.
