Fwd: Call for fellows (update, Canadian applications encouraged!)

by Verena Roberts

I apologize for any cross-posting. Please share this information about open fellowship opportunities. This is an exciting opportunity for US and Canadian Open Educators ! Verena Roberts ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Clinton-Lisell, Virginia <virginia.clinton(a)und.edu> Date: Tue, May 2, 2023 at 9:20 AM Subject: Call for fellows (update, Canadian applications encouraged!) To: oer-research-fellows(a)googlegroups.com < oer-research-fellows(a)googlegroups.com> We are seeking applicants for the next cohort! I would really appreciate it if you would share the call for applications below in your professional networks. The Open Education Group thanks to generous support from the Hewlett foundation is seeking to support early career researchers to conduct studies in open education (what is open education, click here <https://sparcopen.org/open-education/>) through the open education research fellowship. The purpose is to support education professionals to develop their open education scholarship ideas into published works. Specifically, this fellowship seeks to provide mentorship, community, and some financial support to carry out their ideas in open education research. Financial support includes attendance at the Open Education Conference in 2023 (November 7-9, virtual) and 2024 (in person in the United States, TBD). The fellowship will also pay for article processing charges to allow for publications developed in this fellowship to be publicly available (around $3,000). In addition, fellows will receive a stipend of $1200 per article submitted prior to January 15, 2025, based on their fellowship work. Applications will be assessed based on its potential contribution to open education, feasibility, and novelty. In the application, prospective fellows will be asked to explain how your proposed research project would be relevant to diversity, inclusion, equity, and access to education. Applicants should have some prior research training and will be asked to list their previous research coursework. For the purpose of this fellowship, the following groups are considered early career researchers: doctoral graduate student (PhD, EdD, PsyD, DSW, DNP, DBA), postdoctoral researchers, pre-tenure faculty, teaching-track/clinical faculty (including librarians), and faculty at teaching-intensive institutions (liberal arts, community colleges, regional institutions, etc.), K-12 administrators and teachers, and public education employees. Full or part time status applicants are eligible. Tenured faculty at research institutions (R1 or R2) would generally not be considered early career researchers. Please feel free to contact Virginia Clinton-Lisell with questions about eligibility at virginia.clinton(a)und.edu. Note, due to legal reasons, we can only offer this fellowship to early career researchers working in the United States/Canada. If you have a work visa for the United States or Canada, please check with your visa guidelines regarding payment eligibility from the fellowship prior to applying. While this fellowship is limited to US and Canadian residents, we strongly encourage research projects with global perspectives, particularly in the Global South. Learning more about the fellowship in this video <https://youtu.be/cxFTRH6dPLU>. https://youtu.be/cxFTRH6dPLU Applications are due June 15th, 2023, at 11:59 pm Central Daylight Time and may be found here. <https://byu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dj5ITUWTogyKvhr> https://byu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dj5ITUWTogyKvhr Examples of research projects previously supported for publication in the fellowship include the following (see a comprehensive list here <https://openedgroup.org/fellowship/publications-by-oer-research-fellows>): Brandle, S.

Introducing "Making Ripples": A Practical Handbook for Implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in OER.

by Kaitlin Schilling

Hi all, this message is cross-posted Rebus Community is thrilled to share our latest resource, Making Ripples: A Guidebook to Challenge the Status Quo in OER Creation <https://press.rebus.community/MakingRipples/>. Making Ripples is an open peer-reviewed and edited OER, created from programming insights from Rebus’ work with partners in Louisiana and Massachusetts. The Guide is designed to support educators in reframing their practices with care in an encouraging, conversational tone and includes examples for a wide range of OER resources and authors. The Guide is structured in five interconnected parts that build off one another, and contains opportunities for educators to reflect on their practice, identify strategies for action, and connect with resources and community members. In doing so, readers will create ripple effects of positive change in education and beyond. Our thanks go to all participants, facilitators, and partners in the Textbook Success Program cohorts in Louisiana (in the Interactive OER for Dual Enrollment project) and Massachusetts (via the Remixing Open Textbooks through an Equity Lens grant), as well as The Hewlett Foundation for funding this work. Our gratitude also to all of you readers and community for the supportive culture of sharing and learning! We hope this resource will be useful to you in different ways.

OER in Institutional Repositories

by Fields, Erin

Hello, I have a question related to how people deal with open educational resources in their institutional repositories. We are trying to work through some details at UBC about how to efficiently describe OER in our institutional repository that prioritizes research materials. We were wondering if folks have suggestions for the following: Are there any best practices/processes you use for the metadata? Do you have particular Dublin Core fields and descriptors, keywords you use, or descriptive information that makes it easier to find within your repository? Thanks for any help you can give! Erin

New OER: Gender in Canada - A Companion Workbook

by Amanda Grey

Hello! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Gender in Canada: A Companion Workbook Edited by: Rebecca Yoshizawa Primary Subjects: Gender studies, gender groups [cid:image001.png@01D95C98.D7F0FEE0] This workbook is designed for first or second-year sociology of gender or gender studies courses, focusing on the Canadian context. It is divided into five topics - Theory and Concepts, Institutions, Work, Family and Intimate Relationships, and Bodies and Health. This workbook does not replace a textbook, instructor teachings through lectures, class discussion, class assignments, or other standard undergraduate course materials. Instead, this is an activity book: a course companion, working alongside and with those course materials. It is designed to build competency, capacity, and confidence with course materials, concepts, and arguments. It does this by embracing the concepts of embodied learning, iterative scaffolding, and reflexive insight. "Embodied" means doing things with your body and not just your mind; "scaffolding" means breaking things down into constituent parts that can be gathered together to build something bigger; and "reflexive" means thinking about oneself in relation to broad concepts and contexts around us. The workbook presents four types of content. (1) Each chapter has one or two pages of written content deemed "Insights to Think About," which are summative guides to help students grab onto big ideas. (2) The chapters also have "Words to Try," encouraging a usable lexicon. (3) Chapters have thoughtfully designed "Activities." The activities help students to get ideas down, give those ideas meaning and order, and prepare students to do more engaged work in course conversations and higher-stakes assignments. (4) Finally, each section ends with "My Insights On," where students can record their "big picture" ideas and things they want to explore more in their course discussions and other assignments.
