Hello Everyone,
Below is a list of the latest at BCcampus OpenEd.
New books added to the B.C. Open Textbook Collection
* Technical Writing Essentials<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=83…> by University of Victoria professor, Suzan Last, is designed to introduce readers to the basics of professional communications in technical fields: audience and task analysis in workplace contexts, clear and concise communications style, effective document design, teamwork and collaboration, and fundamental research skills.
* Introduction to Psychology (University of Saskatchewan)<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=9e…> by Jorden Cummings and Lee Sanders, is a combination of original content and materials compiled and adapted from a number of open textbooks. This new version includes a Key Terms list for each chapter, an expanded glossary, and H5P chapter self-tests.
Support resource update
* The Post-Secondary Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/postsecondary/> now includes a section on open education in all provinces and territories in Canada
We are looking for Subject Matter Experts (SME) from B.C. or other parts of Canada to review textbooks being considered for the B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/>. See the list of Books open for review by Canadian faculty<https://opentextbc.ca/oerdiscipline/front-matter/b-c-open-textbook-collecti…>. Contact bookreviews(a)bccampus.ca if you are interested in providing an SME review.
Help us identify the gaps
Contact opentext(a)bccampus.ca if you would like to see open textbooks made available for specific subject areas in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/>. In particular, we'd like to hear of topics in these areas: business, early childhood education (ECE), health, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), and trades.
For the most current open education information, look at these continuously updated directories.
* Information Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/openedinfo/> - Research, articles, blogs, and books related to open education in Canada, the U.S., and Global North, and Global South regions
* OER by Discipline Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/oerdiscipline/> - Lists a wide range of OER by discipline. It acts as a referatory with the resource name and link, its licence, and a short description. Discipline-specific collections are also included.
* Post-Secondary Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/postsecondary/> - An inventory of all things open for each post-secondary institution in B.C., and the provinces and territories in Canada
