Tom and Sean are much more open to the OEP ideas we talked about in our sprint. They have focused a lot on writing in the past (a History go-to) but have great ideas for project-based learning, including community interaction. I think it would be a good connection.
A key driver for them to use Pressbooks (we also explored Wordpress) was to include Hypothes.is (it's embedded in the draft Pressbooks I shared) so students could annotate and enrich the resources as part of Tutorial discussion participation. An instructor could make private student groups (or go public) in terms of the annotation and exploration of the resources.

Boy Howdy! Sean Kheraj of York University and Tom Peace of Huron University College at Western U. They were the ones working on a draft Pressbooks Canadian History reader at our TESS sprint.
Sean and Tom will be seeking contributors for the Open History Seminar project and would be able to tell your instructor History team about that.
Also John Douglas Belshaw at Thompson Rivers who wrote the open textbooks Canadian History: Pre-Confederation and Post-Confederation. He's a great collaborator.
Excellent historians one and all.

Subject: [Canadaoer] Open Pedagogy in HistoryThere is some interest in our Department of History to integrate open pedagogy. Many of their courses don’t use any textbooks so this is a good opening. A faculty member suggested that I find instructors of History at other universities using open pedagogy who might be willing to speak with the department. Does anyone have any suggestions?
