Hi All,
Thanks, Amanda, for finding this. There appear to be a variety of ways we
may be able to argue/implicate the feds responsibility to OER.
Another potential point to consider with regards to avenues for federal
funding - the Roadmap for Open Science (
http://science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/eng/h_97992.html and
https://www.canada.ca/en/innovation-science-economic-development/news/2020/…)
This came out earlier this week, and makes 10 recommendations. While none
of these deal with OER, and the focus is science not all
research/post-secondary work more broadly, one could argue that opening up
teaching and learning resources about science (and other subject matter)
would complement the Road Map recommendations.
Michael
P.S. I've gone through the most recent AB budget (from yesterday), and it
would appear that Alberta will lose out again on provincial funding for
OE.

Hi everyone. To add to the OER Funding conversations
-- and this is really
just brainstorming -- but what about a campaign to flood / pitch to bolster
federal programs that provide publishing support? For example:

Note
that eligible publishers, in this program anyway, include university
presses. Is it too far of a leap to make the case for library publishers to
be included as well? As we all know, many libraries are now acting as OA
publishers (for stats on that, see Sonya Betz and Doris Wagner.
