Thanks Christina and Gryph for facilitating the CC Canada discussion.

In terms of next steps with regard to national advocacy and pushing for funding, I was thinking of trying to write an Op-Ed fro The Hill Times to frame and problematize the need for more funding, and then following this with a longer more detailed piece for Policy Options both in the new year.  I'd be happy to collaborate on either if anyone is interested.  Also, there is a clear need to engage with both CASA (https://www.casa-acae.com/) and the CFS (https://cfs-fcee.ca/) on the advocacy front.  I have a step removed connection to CASA that I could follow up on, but no connection at all with the CFS.

Thank you so much for this, Michael—really helpful information. 

A number of ideas for projects people want to work on came out of the discussion in the CC Canada meeting and are ongoing in the google doc shared by Gryph after the meeting. I think Gryph will be getting back to folks early in the new year with some next steps. There are already enough of us interested in working on this project, and we can see if we can gather more folks as well. 

More after the holidays!

Christina

P.S. If you’d like to add your thoughts to the doc shared above, which is what we worked on at the CC Canada meeting, please do so by Dec. 23. The folks who helped facilitate the meeting will be summarizing things from it after that.

In advance CC Canada discussion on Monday, I've added some additional comments to the shared document that Amanda started (and thanks for creating the document, Amanda). A few points on advocacy (basically looking at the MPs from 2017 Finance Committee (which recommended an OER pilot fund) and comparing this with a list of MPs who represent ridings with major universities)) as well as musing on whether the monitoring/reporting requirements from the UNESCO Recommendation, might be a way to create an argument for a need for some federal funding.  

Looking forward to the discussion on Monday.

Thanks, Amanda, for getting us started!

I am trying to get clear: we have two things being talked about here I think. One is about advocacy for OER funding at the federal level (emails on the sharepoint doc are about this), and the other is about addressing the UNESCO OER recommendations. Might we bring both of these to the meeting on Dec. 16 as ideas for the group to discuss?

Hi All

 

Sounds like a few of us have registered which is great.

 

I have created a shareable document that I hope everyone can access and add comments. As you can see I took the emails and decided to add the key points. Feel free to make this more organized or add comments, etc

 

https://bccampusca-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/acoolidge_bccampus_ca/EScBzwTA-jtFm1DHHJ7IboEBK5L1skBqNeU0Aewl72GA0g?e=LxXqKz

 

I do think we can suggest a focus on OER this year with CC Canada with the latest UNESCO OER recommendation. Something I have been thinking about is creating a document where we take all of the recommendations (5) and then identify the ways in which Canada is addressing these areas.

 

:(i) Building capacity of stakeholders to create access, use, adapt and redistribute OER;

(ii) Developing supportive policy;

(iii) Encouraging inclusive and equitable quality OER;

(iv) Nurturing the creation of sustainability models for OER; and

(v) Facilitating international cooperation.

 

Potentially something to work toward that we could pass on to our UNESCO Canada Chair or have conversations with them about this.

 

Please add to the document!

Good morning/afternoon Canada!

 

I have been thinking about how we can all follow up with Michael’s recommendations a couple of weeks ago and I am wondering if it might be best to bring up our #OER ideas and strategies at the Creative Commons Canada meeting (see below). I plan on attending and would be happy to put forward our ideas at the meeting if that is acceptable.

 

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

 

Amanda
