Hello all,
I will be out of the office on Jan. 26 and will not be able to attend this meeting. My
apologies for that.
In terms of updates for our institution, the faculty at Yukon College is starting to
become more inclined to the use of OERs, particularly in English and Business
Communication. New online courses in these areas are being designed with the principle
that most (if not all) resources will be open and accessible to students. OERs are being
adopted from a number of sources, and at least a couple of instructors are either adapting
or designing their own materials under open license. Our college is unique in terms of
courses and student population (a majority is first nations), so we are also trying to
include some concepts of indigenization in this process.
This is still not an institutional change, but it is part of what our Teaching and
Learning Lab is recommending for the future. Next month we will have a week dedicated to
faculty PD, and OERs is one of the big themes. The expectation is that other areas will
follow the same path.
Again, apologies for missing this meeting a second time. Hope to be able to make it to the
next one.

Hi all,
Unfortunately I will not be able to make the meeting as I am currently out
of the country, but wanted to take the opportunity to send a quick
introduction to you all.
My name is Brady Yano and I work for SPARC, a library advocacy organization
representing over 200 institutions across Canada and the United States.
SPARC focuses on advancing the open agenda in the fields of open access,
open education and open data. I am the Assistant Director of Open Education
which has me focused on supporting our library members in advancing OER on
their campuses while also leading special projects. One project in
particular that I am excited to share is the Connect OER Project (name
subject to change) which will serve as a directory of OER efforts happening
at institutions across Canada and the U.S. The official launch of the
project is set for September 2017. I look forward to talking to you folks
more about the project in the near future.
Prior to working at SPARC, I served as a student leader for two years at
Simon Fraser University. While there, I was involved in efforts to advance
OER adoptions at SFU and neighbouring institutions. If anyone is interested
in discussing student engagement, please feel free to reach out.
Hope you have a great meeting.
Best,
Brady

Hi Everyone,
Unfortunately, I may not make the call. I have invited two others from UofA
in case they can join. Below is an update on the Campus Alberta OER
Initiative:
*Grant Funding:* Initiative is winding down, closure pending March 31. An
evaluation report to provide to the Ministry at closure which is gaining
guidance and input from across the province. This report includes
recommendations to the Ministry and aims to influence future funding
allocation to support OER.
*OER Adoption Projects:* 21 grant-funded adoption pilot projects took place
during Fall 2016. Many of these projects included multiple courses
(projected at onset at 52 courses, some did not fully implement). Closure
reports for these projects are due on Jan 31 which will include cost and
student metrics to support forecasted cost benefits and provincial
recommendations.
*Community of Practice:* The Alberta OER Community of Practice has been
developing over the last few months. Primarily utilized as a way to engage
the province in the evaluation process of the grant funding initiative,
and, support the planning of the provincial summit.
*Alberta OER Summit: *this 1-day event will be hosted at University of
Alberta drawing speakers and attendees from across the province to provide
professional development on adaptation, adoption, and championship of OER,
connect provincial OER champions, develop the provincial Community of
Practice, and share Alberta OER case studies, successes and lessons
learned. We aim to have a student keynote speaker to kick off the day.
PS - welcome, Brady!

Unfortunately I'll be on a flight during this meeting so I'm going to miss it. I
might join for the first 10 minutes or so, it depends on if the flight departs on time or
not.
If you haven't used Collaborate recently give the test link Tricia provided a try. If
