Hello everyone, One week from today, on October 31st, I will have the great pleasure of co-presenting with my research collaborators Rajiv Jhangiani<https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivjhangiani/>, Oya Pakkal<https://www.linkedin.com/in/oya-pakkal-8a38b9249/>, and Robert Luke<https://www.linkedin.com/in/raluke/> at a free pre-conference webinar titled "On a path to open: A report on the capacity of Ontario’s post-secondary institutions to support open educational practices | Sur la voie de l’ouverture : un rapport sur la capacité des établissements d’enseignement postsecondaire de l’Ontario à soutenir les pratiques relatives à l’éducation ouverte." The webinar will provide a preview of a major report that we will release on November 5, at eCampusOntario's Technology + Education Seminar + Showcase (TESS2024) conference<https://www.ecampusontario.ca/tess-2024/>. The report (and the webinar) will share the outcomes of a Province-wide survey of Ontario’s colleges, universities, and Indigenous institutes conducted between February and July 2024 using an updated version of the institutional self-assessment tool (ISAT2)<https://inclusiveeducationlab.com/isat2/>. The webinar will include a brief overview of the development of the ISAT2, followed by a summary of results, including strengths and weaknesses across various dimensions of support for open educational practices (OEP) across the post-secondary sector. The webinar will conclude with recommendations and practical strategies for institutions seeking to further develop their capacity to support OEP. Registration is open for the free webinar at: https://ecampusontario.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_05Hg-jNWQoeDVmRhHnsckw#/… Note that similar research is now planned in partnership with our colleagues at BCcampus in British Columbia. If you are also interested in using the ISAT2 within your institution or region, please don’t hesitate to reach out. The instrument itself is openly-licensed and available in both English and French at: https://inclusiveeducationlab.com/isat2/ Catherine Catherine Lachaîne, M.S.I., M.A., PhD (student) Bibliothécaire de l'éducation ouverte (intérimaire) | Open Education Librarian (Interim) Bibliothèque de l’Université d’Ottawa | University of Ottawa Library catherine.lachaine@uottawa.ca<mailto:catherine.lachaine@uottawa.ca> Coordonnatrice scientifique | Scientific Coordinator Chaire de recherche sur l’épanouissement numérique des communautés franco-ontariennes (Collège des chaires de recherche sur le monde francophone - CCRMF)
