Dear Canada OER Friends,
Apologies for cross posting if it occurs. You may, or may not have heard about the
Cross-Canada OER mini-MOOC, Making Sense of Open Eduction. I am launching a two-week
online course as part of my doctoral research from June 1-15, 2018 and would like to
invite and include any educators in your region that you believe might be interested in
learning more about open ed. If you can share the message below with post-secondary
educators, I would be very grateful. I hope that it will be a fun and engaging learning
experience for educators new to the practice of open.
Thank you for your consideration!
Best,
Jenni

Suggested Subject Line: Open online course about open educational resources June 1-15
Dear Teaching Community,
From June 1-15, 2018, a global (and cross-Canada)
mini-MOOC (massive open online course) called Making Sense of Open Education will take
place through the OpenLearn UK Moodle platform. The course will consist of short daily
lessons and activities at an introductory level. The purpose of the course is to increase
awareness and use of open educational resources (OER) as part of post-secondary teaching
and learning in Canada and globally. Topics will include OER, open educational practices
(OEP), copyright and the Creative Commons licenses, and open tools for adaptation. A
variety of experienced open educators, and friends from global regions will participate
and support learning and sharing opportunities. Daily lessons will take approximately 30
minutes to complete with a targeted (and hopefully fun) daily practice opportunity to
apply what you are learning. The course team and others that have already signed up look
forward to your participation.
There is no cost to participate in the course. The full set of course modules will be made
available on the course front page June 1 for you to download, save, and adapt as you
desire if you prefer to take the course in a self-directed way.
