Hi Erin Fields: I received the email message below through the Council of Atlantic Academic Libraries / Conseil des bibliothèques postsecondaires de l’Atlantique (CAAL-CBPA) Would this invitation be for indigenous College of the North Atlantic (CNA) employees and students? I am not sure whether students would be considered individuals “who engage in/or support teaching and learning”. Thanks for getting back to me. John John L.

While the development of OER is rooted in the belief that education should be equitably distributed, the potential to develop, create, and share resources within Western understandings of knowledge and ownership of information, can run counter to Indigenous perspectives, traditions, and information practices. Our research study seeks to centre the Indigenous perspective on open education principles and processes, with a focus on OER development in Canadian academic institutions. We are hoping you can support our study by participating and/or sharing the following information and participant invitations. Below is a call for participation that can be shared via email. Thank you for your support in spreading the word about this call for research participants. If you have any questions, please contact Erin Fields (Principal Investigator) at erin.fields@ubc.ca<mailto:erin.fields@ubc.ca>.
