So here is my request: send me your questions today or tomorrow and I will put them together in our google doc.<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KuWFCekNe2iKjS4mY5DGzy2KsgMdXidfWtkkSIi…> Looking forward to connecting with you all, Lena // Lena Patterson Operations Director eCampusOntario 416.275.0190 [https://i.xink.io/Images/Get/N87356/e.png] 211 Yonge St. 2nd Floor Toronto, ON, M5B 1M4 ecampusontario.ca<http://ecampusontario.ca>

June Meeting of Canada OER

by Lena Patterson

Good morning Canada OER! Scheduling our next meeting for late June. Please complete the doodle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/k8eu9v7igvfwwtd2 I have been chatting with some Canada OER keeners about adding 15 minutes to the end of our regular conversation to allow for discussion on a specific topic. It seems that everyone really wants to talk about platforms for open textbook publishing. The plan is to use our regular 45 minutes for updates and then get into a conversation about platforms. The meeting is an hour and 15 minutes as a result, but don’t feel you have to stay for the platform discussion unless you are interested! Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions.

Open Textbook Initiative On June 6, 2016, eCampusOntario released the first Call for Proposals to support the development of Open Educational Resources (OER) at Ontario colleges and universities. A total of 61 proposals were received and 24 projects were funded. With the generous support of the Ontario Government and the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development, eCampusOntario is building on the success of this first funding program to incent the continued adaptation, adoption and creation of Open Textbooks for Ontario. The Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development has provided funding to increase the presence and use of open textbooks in the following priority areas: 1. Textbooks for high-enrolment first and second-year courses 2. Original French-language content 3. Indigenous studies content 4. Trades and technical skills content 5. Content supporting the settlement of immigrants and refugees Funded Open Textbook Initiative projects are intended to incent uptake of these resources across the province, encourage the adoption and adaptation of open textbooks by educators across Ontario institutions, and support early adopters at a grass-roots level. This Call for Proposals describes the process and criteria for selecting projects for funding.

In this Call for Proposals, the Ontario Digital Service has provided funding to support researchers who wish to explore digital inclusion and related areas of focus, such as inequities in access to the Internet and digital skills, practices of design which exclude groups or individuals, and explorations of the concrete ways in which people can benefit from the application of digital skills and access across sectors (e.g., healthcare, education, civic participation) as well as ways in which people may be put at risk as a result of lack of knowledge, or skills in digital technologies.

Initiative de manuel libre Le 6 juin 2016, eCampusOntario a lancé le premier appel de propositions visant à soutenir le développement des Ressources éducatives libres (REL) dans les collèges et les universités en Ontario. Un total de 61 propositions ont été reçues et 24 projets, financés. Grâce au soutien généreux du gouvernement de l’Ontario et du ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Formation professionnelle, eCampusOntario mise sur le succès de ce premier programme de financement pour inciter la poursuite de l’adaptation, de l’adoption et de la création de manuels libres en Ontario. Le ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Formation professionnelle a accordé un financement permettant d’accroître la présence et l’utilisation de manuels libres dans les secteurs prioritaires suivants : 1. Manuels pour les cours de première et deuxième année connaissant un taux d’inscription élevé 2. Contenu de langue originale française 3. Contenu relatif aux études autochtones 4. Contenu relatif aux compétences dans les métiers et la technologie 5. Contenu appuyant l'établissement des immigrants et des réfugiés Les projets financés dans le cadre de l’Initiative de manuel libre ont pour but d’encourager l’implantation de ces ressources à l’échelle provinciale ainsi que l’adoption et l’adaptation de manuels libres par les éducateurs de l’ensemble des établissements ontariens tout en appuyant les adhérents précoces au niveau inférieur. Cet appel de propositions décrit le processus et les critères de sélection des projets admissibles au financement. Téléchargez l'appel de propositions pour l'Initiative de manuel libre (http://ecampusontario.us12.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=5d6265dfc77910e40…) Recherche en inclusion numérique En sa qualité de centre pour l’excellence en matière d’apprentissage en ligne, eCampusOntario a pour mandat de soutenir la recherche de pointe dans ce domaine en Ontario. Dans le cadre de cet appel de propositions, le Plan d'action pour un gouvernement numérique de l’Ontario a fourni des subventions afin de soutenir les chercheurs qui souhaitent explorer l’inclusion numérique et les domaines d’intérêt connexes, comme les inégalités de l’accès à Internet et aux compétences numériques, des pratiques en matière de conception qui excluent certains groupes ou certaines personnes, et des explorations de façons concrètes dont les personnes peuvent bénéficier de l’application de compétences numériques et d’accès dans tous les secteurs (p. ex., soins de santé, éducation, participation civique) ainsi que de façons dont elles peuvent être mises en danger en raison d’un manque de connaissances ou de compétences en technologies numériques.
