Open Education Week 2025!

by openkpu＠lists.bccampus.ca

Hi everyone, Instead of focusing our energy all in one week, we are spreading our Open Education Week 2025 events and workshops throughout the month of March. We’re kicking things off early tomorrow with an info session on our UN SDG Open Pedagogy Fellowship. We have workshops planned on finding and creating OERs, using Pressbooks, and how to engage in Open Pedagogy. The BC Open Education Librarians (BCOEL) group is co-hosting an event on practicing reciprocal values in challenging times, and we have gathered 2 KPU faculty members who are using Generative AI for Open Education who will be sharing their experiences in a panel event (see image below). The full schedule of our OE Events is in the attached poster and you can visit our Events and Workshops<https://www.kpu.ca/open/events-workshops> page to see full descriptions and access registration links. Happy Open Education Week!

Spring 2025 Open Pedagogy Learning Circle

by openkpu＠lists.bccampus.ca

Hi everyone! The OEN is running their Open Pedagogy Learning Circle, and applications are now open for the next round. I did this myself the first time that it ran and it was a really good experience. ____________________ Greetings, OEN Community! Please consider applying for the spring offering of our facilitated Open Pedagogy Learning Circle! The OEN has heard our community ask for more help understanding and using open pedagogy, so we’ve created a collaborative, resource-rich learning environment over the course of seven synchronous, one-hour sessions this spring. Join our virtual, facilitated Learning Circle to share, learn, discuss, and create open pedagogy! There is no cost for participation. We are looking for a total of 12 participants from OEN member institutions for this offering of Open Pedagogy Learning Circle running on Tuesdays beginning in February. We try to vary the enrollment, so we are hoping for a combination of instructors, librarians, instructional designers or other roles that directly support faculty in pedagogy-related concerns. Interested in learning more and applying? Please see our Call for Applications<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UH9gqpa11MZdY33JRmVuoedMcFCYmpQzimN8Wmt…> or reach out to Tanya Grosz (grosz045(a)umn.edu<mailto:grosz045@umn.edu>) with any questions. ____________________ [logo gif] Amanda Grey (she/her) Open Education Strategist, Teaching & Learning Commons t 604-599-3345 e amanda.grey(a)kpu.ca w www.kpu.ca/open Through active intentional partnering, the Teaching & Learning Commons provides pedagogical leadership that is grounded in community, ethics, creativity, and care.

Applicants should be higher education faculty, librarians, instructional designers, and others who have a lesson, unit, or other educational experience that they wish to transform through the use of open pedagogy. Participants will pilot their transformed curriculum in the spring of 2025. The Certificate in Open Pedagogy offers formal training in open pedagogy as grounded in the principles of social justice, a community of peers, and expert instructors in order to transform learning to be more accessible and inclusive. Participants who successfully complete the full program will receive a Certificate in Open Pedagogy from the Open Education Network (University of Minnesota) and 60 Credit Hour Units (CEU's). While we prefer applicants who apply as a team (faculty + partner), we will do our best to pair individuals who do not have someone with whom to partner. About the Certificate in Open Pedagogy The Certificate in Open Pedagogy is a professional development program that will create actionable pathways for faculty and librarians to implement open education for the transformation of learning. Faculty and partners (librarians, instructional designers, etc.) will complete a nine-week long, asynchronous course in the spring of 2025 about the range of open educational practices with modules on the hallmarks of open education, copyright and Creative Commons licensing, the hallmarks of open pedagogy, the benefits and limitations of OEP, accessibility, and student empowerment and agency. Together, the faculty and faculty partner pairs will create an Action Plan to be implemented the following spring that seeks to transform learning through the power of open education. In addition, the cohort will benefit from close engagement with program faculty—open education leaders who have gained expertise through experience, professional development, and participation in various national initiatives. The integrated components of the certification program include online content, instructor-led cohorts, and action plan support and assessment. In order to assure we can offer personalized attention to participants throughout the program, the cohort will be limited to 20 teams (5 teams per instructor) or 50 participants total. Learning Outcomes Participants will: 1. Gain fluency in open pedagogy, including core benefits, challenges, and potential; 2. Identify the synergy between the principles of social justice and open education; 3. Create a personalized action plan that will provide the building blocks for an educational experience (module, lesson, unit, etc.) to be transformed through the use of open pedagogy; 4. Consider best practices of accessibility when designing the action plan 5. Center the needs of students and consider their empowerment and agency while designing and implementing the action plan; 6. Develop strategies for assessing the effectiveness of the action plan; 7. Connect and collaborate with a cohort of higher ed. professionals dedicated to developing open education in order to create more accessible, inclusive learning. Selection Criteria Participants will be selected based on the following: 1. A CV demonstrating your responsibilities as a faculty member or librarian; 2. A completed questionnaire that provides information about you and your institution; 3. A clearly articulated interest in open education and desire to make learning more equitable and inclusive through the power of open education; 4. A desire to revise curriculum or support the revision of curriculum through open pedagogy and the demonstrated agency to do so. Certificate Calendar January 5 - March 9, 2025: Participants will participate in asynchronous online instruction, including readings and discussions with their cohorts. April 9 & 10: Project Symposium for participants to share the OEP Action Plan they developed and refined throughout the online course. Online course assessment will be shared.

Dear colleagues, Do you teach online? Do you use open pedagogy in those classes? Do you use open pedagogy in those classes to support social justice? If so, you may be interested in participating in a study about experiences of online KPU faculty in using open pedagogy to support social justice. The principal investigator, Melissa Ashman, is a faculty member in the Melville School of Business at KPU, and she is conducting this study in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education at Athabasca University. If you are interested in participating in this study, please email melissa.ashman(a)kpu.ca saying “I agree to participate in this study” (or something similar). This will indicate you have read the description of the study below, accept the invitation to participate in the study, and agree to the terms as described. Project title: Online faculty experiences using open pedagogy to support social justice Project Principal Investigator: Melissa Ashman Athabasca University REB file number: 25806 Kwantlen Polytechnic University REB file number: 2024-24 Study participants. This study explores the experiences of KPU faculty who teach online classes using open pedagogy to support social justice. Therefore, to participate, you: * must be currently employed as a faculty member in any discipline at KPU * may be employed at KPU part-time or full-time * may be employed at KPU with a short-term contract (non-regular type 1), a long-term contract (non-regular type 2), or may have permanent status (regularized) * must be currently teaching one or more online classes in which you use open pedagogy to support social justice, and/or may have taught in one or more online classes in the past where you used open pedagogy to support social justice, and/or may be scheduled to teach in one or more online classes in an upcoming semester where you will use open pedagogy to support social justice For the purposes of this study: * Online courses can include courses that are synchronous, asynchronous, blended, or that are otherwise mediated through an internet connection. * Open pedagogy can include (but is not limited to) students creating or co-creating open resources, open content, H5P resources, or open textbooks; creating resources for a community or client; creating teachable content or resources for students; blogging; podcasting; or creating or co-creating a rubric. Study description. Participating in this study will involve being interviewed twice by the principal investigator. The interviews will be private/one-on-one and will be held virtually through MS Teams. Each interview is anticipated to require a time commitment of 60-90 minutes (2-3 hours total), and each interview will be recorded and then transcribed. The interviews will collect information about your experiences using open pedagogy in online courses to support social justice. The principal investigator will work with each study participant to determine the interview days/times. Voluntary participation. Your participation in this research project is completely voluntary. Refusal to participate in this study will not impact our relationship as colleagues. Full withdrawal of consent. If you choose to withdraw from an interview in full, any information you have shared in that interview will be deleted and will not used in the analysis of the data. You can inform the researcher of your full withdrawal either verbally or by sending an email. You can fully withdraw consent for the first interview at any time until you have reviewed the first interview transcript. This will be scheduled to take place at the beginning of the second interview. However, should you wish to not participate in a second interview or are otherwise unavailable to participate in a second interview, you will have one week from the date the researcher provides you with a digital copy of your first interview transcript to withdraw your full consent. No response to a request to review your first interview transcript will be assumed to indicate consent remains intact and in full. Full withdrawal from the second interview is possible only until one week from the date the researcher provides you with a digital copy of your second interview transcript for review. No response to a request to review your second interview transcript will be assumed to indicate consent remains intact and in full. Partial withdrawal of consent. After each interview, you will have an opportunity to review the transcript to see if there are any portions you withdraw consent from being included. If you choose to withdraw one or more portions of your interviews, any information that is being withdrawn will be deleted and will not used in the analysis of the data. You can inform the researcher which portions you withdraw either verbally or by sending an email. Partial withdrawal from the first interview is possible only you have reviewed the first interview transcript. This will be scheduled to take place at the beginning of the second interview.

KPU faculty members who participate in the study will have the opportunity to share their experiences in using open pedagogy to support social justice in their online classes, and this information could then potentially be used by university administrators to improve support for open pedagogy and social justice. Additionally, participants may have a better understanding of their own teaching practices and positionality, which can potentially help facilitate their own further reflection and professional development as a post-secondary educator. Compensation. No compensation is provided for participating in this study. Confidentiality, data retention, and data security. Your privacy and confidentiality will be protected throughout this study. You are encouraged to use headphones and a private space when you are being interviewed. Electronic data collected by the principal investigator will be stored on secure servers located in Canada at Athabasca University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Information you provide will be de-identified, anonymous, and kept confidential. During the analysis of the data, pseudonyms will be assigned to the participants, and names of courses, course codes, or other information that could directly or indirectly be used to identify participants will be anonymized and de-identified. The study results will be used, presented, and published by the principal investigator in partial fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Education at Athabasca University. As well, the anonymized results of this research may be presented at workshops, conferences, and/or in publications. Data collected in support of this research project will be retained for a period of five years following the completion of the study (anticipated completion: December 2025). Persons to contact.

OER Authorship Study Invitation

by openkpu＠lists.bccampus.ca

Hi everyone, I received the following invitation and am passing it on to you! If you have authored a Pressbook in the KPU Pressbook Catalogue<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/catalogue/>, it has automatically been added to the OER Commons Open Textbook hub and they are requesting your participation in their research project. Cheers, Amanda Dear OER Textbook Author, In February, we requested your participation in our research study “Assessing the Authorship of Open Education Resources: A Study of Demographics, Expectations, and Experiences.” We are excited to share that we had a tremendous response to our request! Though we are happy with the response, we are still seeking more participants for our study. If you have not completed the survey, please do so before the end of next week, as we will begin analyzing the data and moving forward with the project soon. Please do not fill out the survey again if you have already responded. As a reminder, this project aims to explore OER (Open Education Resources) textbook authorship. Research in OERs is relatively new, and some questions have yet to be explored empirically. It is currently unknown what demographic groups tend to author OERs or from what institutions OERs tend to emanate. Therefore, our study is an attempt to describe the typical OER author to encourage a diverse pool of OER authors in the future. Using publicly and privately available data, we will assess OER authorship. In the first phase of the study, we will gather the title, subject area, year of publication, author(s)’ name, and author(s)’ email address of each OER textbook in the OER Commons’ Open Textbooks hub (https://oercommons.org/hubs/open-textbooks) Then, we will recruit participants to complete a survey, in which we will assess demographic information about OER authors, current position, current institution, and other demographic information. Finally, we will conduct interviews with a sample of survey participants to understand the experience of an OER author. We have identified you as an author of an OER textbook in the OER Commons’ Open Textbooks hub (https://oercommons.org/hubs/open-textbooks) If you recieve multiple email invitation, it is because you authored multiple texts in the OER Commons database. Please only reply to one of these invitations. We would appreciate your participation in this study by completing a brief study on your demographic information and motivation for writing an OER textbook. Participation is complete optional. The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. At the end of the survey you will be asked if you are interested in participating in a follow-up interview about your experiences. This aspect of the study is also optional and is not required for participation in the survey. Follow this link to the Survey: Take the Survey<https://clemson.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cZJMvAV2Qz9pWBg?Q_DL=M3B3kcjm…> Or copy and paste the URL below into your internet browser: https://clemson.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cZJMvAV2Qz9pWBg?Q_DL=M3B3kcjm… Thank you for your consideration!

Indigenous Peoples in Education: A Stock Photo Collection – An Image SPLOT

by openkpu＠lists.bccampus.ca

Apologies for the double post, but I also wanted to share this resource with you: Thompson Rivers University (TRU) has created the Indigenous Education Stock Photos collection<https://indigenouseducationstockphotos.trubox.ca/> due to a lack of open-source photos of Indigenous students for use in OER. The spirit of the photo collection is to allow educators to represent Indigenous peoples in their OER so that Indigenous students can see themselves reflected in their learning materials. This project was funded jointly by BCcampus and the TRU OER Development Grant and developed in consultation with the TRU Office of Indigenous Education and a TRU community stakeholder session. TRU production and media teams and the TRU Open Press assisted in producing the content. All photos have a CC BY NC SA license: * You may use, adapt, and share them, but you must attribute the photographer and link back to the collection * You may not use the photos for commercial purposes * You must distribute any created derivatives under the photo’s original license Where is it?: https://indigenouseducationstockphotos.trubox.ca/ [logo gif] Amanda Grey (she/her) Open Education Strategist, Teaching & Learning Commons t 604-599-3345 e amanda.grey(a)kpu.ca w www.kpu.ca/open Through active intentional partnering, the Teaching & Learning Commons provides pedagogical leadership that is grounded in community, ethics, creativity, and care.

New Audiobook OER: Developing Organizational and Managerial Wisdom – 2nd Edition

by openkpu＠lists.bccampus.ca

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share the following new resource: Developing Organizational and Managerial Wisdom – 2nd Edition (Audio plus text version)<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/developingwisdomaudiobook/> by Brad Anderson, an audiobook version of an existing OER. This Pressbook embeds audio recordings in each chapter, provides a playlist of all recordings for uninterrupted listening, and provides links to download the audio files. Here’s what Brad had to say about this project: Over the past year, I have realized that most of our students have accessibility issues. Many people’s first reaction to that is doubt, but that, I believe, is because many people still view accessibility through a physical disability lens. The student working thirty hours a week who must cross two bridges in rush-hour traffic to get to campus has an accessibility issue. So does the student renting a bed in a house with half a dozen roommates and no dedicated workspace, a student caring for a sick family member, one with mental health challenges, or … you get the picture. How many barriers might we remove if we made an audio version of textbooks available they could listen to while stuck in traffic? Universal design for learning (UDL) is about giving students options in accessing course material, empowering them to fit learning into the unique considerations of their lives. A couple of years ago, I created this OER textbook under a Creative Commons licence to reduce barriers to learning. Creating an audio version of that text is a continuation of that effort to reduce barriers. While there were many challenges associated with developing this audiobook, with some creative thinking and advice from one of KPU’s Educational Media Strategists, we were able to overcome them. Going forward, I am excited to encourage other OER authors to consider creating an audiobook versions, as well as streamlining and improving the process.

Can Open Pedagogy Encourage Care? Student Perspectives

by Amanda Grey

Hello! I want to share this new article that was recently published by KPU faculty member Deirdre Maultsaid and TRU faculty member Michelle Harrison. This publication is the result of Deirdre’s year working with us as an Open Education Research Fellow and explores student perspectives on Open Pedagogy. Can Open Pedagogy Encourage Care? Student Perspectives<https://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/6901> Abstract: As a response to the increasing commercialization of postsecondary education, educators argue for a practice of care in education. Open pedagogy (OP) seems like an ideal practice where care, trust, and inclusion can be realized. OP is characterized as a democratic and collaborative pedagogical practice, in which students and teachers work to co-create learning and knowledge using openly licensed materials, open platforms, and other open processes. The purposes of this study were, first, to reveal ways students in postsecondary institutions perceive care and, second, to determine how students suggest OP can be used to create an open/caring learning process. A task-oriented focus group method engaged students from four teaching-focused institutions. The students created open cases on social issues for class discussion and reflected on care and OP processes in postsecondary settings. Using four elements of the ethics of care—attentiveness, responsibility, competence, and trustworthiness—as conceptual categories, the study examined students’ experience of care and care in OP using affective coding and thematic analysis. The results showed that through OP, with teacher support and explicitly designed practices of care, students can assert their agency, have quintessential roles in creating and participating in highly relevant curriculum and importantly, care about others, and be cared for. OP is a process able to involve a diverse population of students and embody care as an all-encompassing practice.

New OER: Stitched - sewing techniques, how-to, and more

by Amanda Grey

Hi everyone! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Stitched sewing techniques, how-to, and more By: Heather Clark and Catherine Hay [cid:image001.jpg@01D9E7B7.17EBEFB0] Within the fashion, sewing, and textile classrooms it is a challenge to find a textbook on the topic of sewing that covers the range of skills and techniques taught within these learning spaces. Typically to supplement student learning, handouts will be utilized along with in-class, and in-person demos. The open-source and online format of this OER will enable educators to continually update the resource to meet current student needs, learning outcomes, and reflect best practices within the apparel and fashion industry. Content in this OER supports skills and knowledge learned within the classroom while providing supportive resources for learners. This open-source learning resource contains details and step-by-step instructions, supported with images, videos, and text. This resource will be continually worked on, with videos, text, and information being added. The vision for this resource is to provide learning resources to the sewing community – an array of learners, with multiple ways of ‘how-to’.

New OER: Gender in Canada - A Companion Workbook

by Amanda Grey

Hello! We’re excited to share with you the following new OER that has just been published at KPU: Gender in Canada: A Companion Workbook Edited by: Rebecca Yoshizawa Primary Subjects: Gender studies, gender groups [cid:image001.png@01D95C98.B3BAABC0] This workbook is designed for first or second-year sociology of gender or gender studies courses, focusing on the Canadian context. It is divided into five topics - Theory and Concepts, Institutions, Work, Family and Intimate Relationships, and Bodies and Health. This workbook does not replace a textbook, instructor teachings through lectures, class discussion, class assignments, or other standard undergraduate course materials. Instead, this is an activity book: a course companion, working alongside and with those course materials. It is designed to build competency, capacity, and confidence with course materials, concepts, and arguments. It does this by embracing the concepts of embodied learning, iterative scaffolding, and reflexive insight. "Embodied" means doing things with your body and not just your mind; "scaffolding" means breaking things down into constituent parts that can be gathered together to build something bigger; and "reflexive" means thinking about oneself in relation to broad concepts and contexts around us. The workbook presents four types of content. (1) Each chapter has one or two pages of written content deemed "Insights to Think About," which are summative guides to help students grab onto big ideas. (2) The chapters also have "Words to Try," encouraging a usable lexicon. (3) Chapters have thoughtfully designed "Activities." The activities help students to get ideas down, give those ideas meaning and order, and prepare students to do more engaged work in course conversations and higher-stakes assignments. (4) Finally, each section ends with "My Insights On," where students can record their "big picture" ideas and things they want to explore more in their course discussions and other assignments.

New OER! Introduction to Criminology

by Amanda Grey

Introduction to Criminology Edited by Dr. Shereen Hassan and Dan Lett, MAS  [cid:image001.png@01D93622.65154120] Link to Resource: Introduction to Criminology<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/introcrim/> Although this open education resource (OER) is written with the needs and abilities of first-year undergraduate criminology students in mind, it is designed to be flexible. As a whole, the OER is amply broad to serve as the main textbook for an introductory course, yet each chapter is deep enough to be useful as a supplement for subject-area courses; authors use plain and accessible language as much as possible, but introduce more advanced, technical concepts where appropriate; the text gives due attention to the historical “canon” of mainstream criminological thought, but it also challenges many of these ideas by exploring alternative, critical, and marginalized perspectives. After all, criminology is more than just the study of crime and criminal law; it is an examination of the ways human societies construct, contest, and defend ideas about right and wrong, the meaning of justice, the purpose and power of laws, and the practical methods of responding to broken rules and of mending relationships. Special thanks to Leah Ballantyne, LLB LLM, a Cree lawyer from the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation in Pukatawagan, Manitoba, who provided expert Indigenous consultation/editing for this textbook.  This OER was jointly funded and supported by KPU Arts, KPU OER Grants, KPU OPUS, BCcampus and the Justice Institute of BC.     Check out the KPU Pressbooks Catalogue<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/catalog/openkpu> of works published by the Open Publishing Suite (OPUS)<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.  Learn more about KPU Open Education<http://www.kpu.ca/open>.

OTESSA Conference Proposal Extension

by Amanda Grey

Hello! I am passing along an opportunity that might be of interest. OTESSA is the Open/Technology in Education, Society, and Scholarship Association<https://otessa.org/2023/>, and the 2023 conference will be held from May 27-June 2 as part of Congress 2023 (Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences)<https://www.federationhss.ca/en/congress/about-congress>. The OTESSA call for proposals has been extended to January 31, and there are opportunities to present in-person (in Toronto) and online. Here is the invitation: We would like to share that we have an extended Call for Proposals for participation in OTESSA 2023 due January 31st. Only 250-500 words are needed for a research-oriented or practice-oriented proposal. If you wish to publish as well, you can submit a proceeding (1000-2000 words – or media) now or at any later date. Please make sure the new templates are used and submission information is reviewed on our conference submission portal<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconferenc…>. We also have opportunities available for people to submit full articles to the OTESSA Journal<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjournal.o…>. Please note that we have made a precedent-making arrangement with Congress organizers (from the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences) in that we will have online-only days available within our program as well as the days hosted on campus at York University. This will be an exciting time for us to explore and experiment how to build community and connection across all participations in OTESSA 2023. Our schedule will be as follows: May 27 – Online only sessions (and keynote) May 28 – No sessions (gap day/travel day) May 29/30/31 – Sessions and keynotes on site at York University (we will be making these sessions as accessible as possible through sharing of materials and audio or video streams or recordings) June 1 – No sessions (gap day/travel day) June 2 – Online only sessions (and keynote) We are excited to start and close our conference together in the same mode. We welcome any of our members who wish to join a planning committee to work out particulars to contact us at conference(a)otessa.org<mailto:conference@otessa.org>. We are very proud to be creating this precedence at Congress as it will allow our members who wish to present online to be able to do so without any co-presenter-on-campus counterpart. This advances inclusion for all of our members. We received 3x the submissions for our first call and we hope to see this trend continue with our second and final call due January 31st. Approximately half of our submissions are requesting to be on site and half are requesting to be online. Please do spread the word of our final call as growing our community will help to give us the support needed to further advance our goals, systems, and operations to build out our community and advocacy for our field in ways that support both research and practice. We would like to remind our members that registration waivers and discounts are available, so please do not let financial resources block your participation in OTESSA. For information, please reach out to conference(a)otessa.org<mailto:conference@otessa.org> Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing you at OTESSA 2023!

Introducing… People Learning and Development By Monica Affleck Are you interested in the topic of people learning and development or are tasked to implement learning and training opportunities in your workplace? We invite you to use this resource full of information and tools to help support people and organizations in their learning journey. [cid:image002.png@01D8DE23.8F39EF70]<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/peoplelearningdevelopment/back-matter/list-of-co…> Link to the resource: People Learning and Development<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/peoplelearningdevelopment/> Learning happens everywhere, and you will explore the different modes of learning on and off the job. But is a training program actually the right solution to address a performance issue in your organization? Learn how to conduct a needs analysis to help you decide what is in the best interest of the organization and people. Training and learning opportunities have to be properly designed to be effective and deliver the results you expect. Find out how adults learn and what motivates them to develop their skills. Discover how learning supports the performance management process and how to ensure that learning gets transferred into the workplace. The ultimate goal of training and development is to increase productivity, employee engagement, and to make a positive impact on the organization’s bottom line. So, evaluating training and development programs is critical to determine the company’s return on investment (ROI). You will find all of this and more in this resource to help you invest in and reap the benefits of talent development in your company. Remember, this is an interactive resource. We invite you to answer the questions at the end of each chapter to test your knowledge.

Cases on Social Issues: For class discussion Edited by Deirdre Maultsaid<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/social-issue-cases/front-matter/70/> [Graphical user interface, website Description automatically generated] Link to resource: https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/social-issue-cases/ This Open Educational Resource, “Cases on Social Issues: For Class Discussion” includes valuable cases on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion for student use. The critical events portrayed in the cases are realistic and emotional, and feature the experiences of under-represented and marginalized people.

Each case is supplemented with modifiable discussion prompts, notes for teaching strategy, and a short reading list. This resource is a work in progress.

Invitation for Students to Participate in Research Study

by Urooj Nizami

The below message is sent on behalf of the primary investigator, Deirdre Maultsaid, School of Business. Dear Colleagues: I am Deirdre Maultsaid, the KPU Open Education Research Fellow, 2021 and am doing a research project on care and open pedagogy, at the following four British Columbia institutions: Douglas, KPU, Langara and TRU (Ethics ID: H21-01455). I am recruiting students and hope that you can make an announcement to your students at the above four institutions. Can you please disseminate the attached invitation or embedded invitation to students to participate in the research focus groups. Please only disseminate the message to students via email, not by posting it into your Learning Management System as using your LMS is not approved by ethics boards, for lots of good reasons. You do not have to promote or advocate for this research; you can simply send the approved invitation. Not to worry, when students go to the link, there is a full consent process before they participate. Any questions, Deirdre.maultsaid(a)kpu.ca<mailto:Deirdre.maultsaid@kpu.ca> Thank you so much for helping to disseminate this invitation. *MESSAGE TO STUDENTS:* [cidimage005.jpg(a)01D7AFC1.106DCFE0] Students: Please help us find out if creating open pedagogy inspires you to care more. Please join a voluntary focus group with students from Douglas, KPU, Langara, and TRU in order to help create free and open learning materials. You will attend two to three group sessions of 2.5 hours each, to create cases for class discussions. Your initial questionnaire, focus group and reflections on the process will be analyzed to see if the process of students creating learning materials encourages you to care more for yourself, other students, teachers and the postsecondary community. You could be acknowledged by name as a co-author of the open resource/book, which will be used in BC and beyond. You will have helped to create caring, relevant, ethical study materials. Also, you will receive a $30 gift card.

In addition to one-on-one consultations, the Team has also created several guides and workshops for faculty and students related to various aspects of Open Access and publishing, as well as sharing their knowledge with libraries at other institutions wanting to create their own Open publishing program. Please join me in congratulating our wonderful colleagues and OPUS Team members: Caroline Daniels, Systems, Web & Interlibrary Loans Librarian Karen Meijer-Kline, Scholarly Communications Librarian Paula Pinter, Library Technician Beverly Whiticutt, Library Technician Syreen Prestonji, Library Technician Urooj Nizami, Open Education Strategist [Text Description automatically generated] [logo gif] Rajiv Jhangiani, Ph.D. (pronouns: he/him/his; proper pronunciation<https://thatpsychprof.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Räjev-D??angeäne.m4a>) Associate Vice President, Teaching and Learning Kwantlen Polytechnic University t 604.599.3253 e rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca<mailto:rajiv.jhangiani@kpu.ca> www.kpu.ca/tlcommons<http://www.kpu.ca/tlcommons> | www.kpu.ca/cps<http://www.kpu.ca/cps> | www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Administrative Coordinator: Janice Webster t 604.598.6215 e janice.webster(a)kpu.ca<mailto:janice.webster@kpu.ca> This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

Critical Perspectives on Open Development , MIT Press 2021 (Changing Infrastructure in Urban India)

by David Sadoway

Dear 'Open' Colleagues, At this time the situation of friends and relations in India are on many of our minds. Let us hope we see more 'open access', pro-public goods solutions, that eliminates barriers to accessing vaccines, including opening IP access to vaccine 'recipe' and technology sharing commitments (see: People's Vaccine Campaign<https://peoplesvaccine.org/> for patent free vaccines and a vaccine IP waiver). Related to India, I am pleased to say that an article that Satyarupa Shekhar and myself did research on some time ago in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) has finally published. The article is open access through MIT Press and IDRC (Canada) and it is part of a book that will likely be of interest to many on this list, Critical Perspectives on Open Development. Here is the citation and location for our piece in the book; and this link will also lead you to the wider collection in the book: Sadoway, D. & Shekhar, S., “Changing Infrastructure in Urban India: Critical Reflections on Openness and Trust in the Governance of Public Services,” pp.115-130), in Critical Perspectives on Open Development<https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/5016/Critical-Perspectives-on-Open-Develo…> , MIT Press 2021), https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/11480.003.0010.

The creation, adaptation, and adoption of OER supports equitable access to education. Open pedagogy may be understood as an access-oriented commitment to learner-driven education. An increasingly popular form of open pedagogy involves the design and use of renewable assignments. Renewable assignments (also known as non-disposable assignments)those that add value to a student's world, live outside of the boundaries and beyond the duration of the course, and are likely to have a lasting impact. Disposable assignments, on the other hand, are those that only the instructor and students will see and which students are likely to throw away once they have been graded (Seraphin et al., 2019<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1475725718811711>; Wiley, 2013 <https://opencontent.org/blog/archives/2975> ).

You’re invited: Open Education Challenge Series during Open Education Week

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, Open Education Week is fast approaching! To celebrate, BCcampus is hosting an Open Education Challenge Series<https://oechallenge.opened.ca/about-the-open-education-challenge-series/> for educators interested in learning more about open education practices (OEP). From March 1 to March 5, we will release two challenges a day. A challenge is a micro activity that you can do in 10 minutes or less that will introduce a small aspect of open education. Everyone is welcome to participate, but the challenges are designed for educators who are new to open education. Topics to explore include open licences, open textbooks, and perhaps even open pedagogy! This isn’t a bootcamp or crash course in open education: it’s more of a tasting buffet of appetizers, designed to allow even the most time-constrained educators to participate. Please share this event with your departments and networks, especially those who are new to open education. Invite your colleagues to participate with you! It’s a great way to learn about OEP together. Here is the event page and where to register: OE Challenge Series 2021<https://bccampus.ca/event/open-education-challenge-series-2021/> Sincerely, The Facilitators: Carolee Clyne, Josie Gray, Clint Lalonde, Melanie Meyers, and Krista Lambert Sent via Arianna Cheveldave Coordinator, Open Education, BCcampus Email: acheveldave(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:acheveldave@bccampus.ca> • LinkedIn: ariannacheveldave<https://ca.linkedin.com/in/arianna-cheveldave> • Pronouns: She/her ________________________________ I acknowledge that the land I live, work, and play on is the unceded territory of the səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), W̱SÁNEĆ, and Songhees Nation of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples.

A problem that requires a major change in practice, belief, or behaviour for many people is often a wicked problem. Drawing on this idea, we turn our attention to the wicked problem in higher education of empowering students in the classroom, and centre student voices in exploring the challenges and potential solutions for tackling this problem. This event is organized by the BC Open Education Librarians (BCOEL) group with sponsorship from BCcampus, Capilano University, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Langara College, and the University of British Columbia (UBC) Okanagan campus.

Workshop: Introduction to Open Pedagogy

by Urooj Nizami

Workshop: Introduction to Open Pedagogy In this workshop, participants will learn the "who", "what", and "why" of Open Pedagogy (OP) and then have an opportunity to explore OP options and ideas that may work in their teaching environments. Break-out groups and spontaneous brainstorming will help direct the workshop activities. Participants should come somewhat prepared with an idea of a course they'd like to infuse with new pedagogical practices that better centre student discovery, expression, and experiences. Join Melissa Ashman, Arley Cruthers, and Andrea Niosi to learn more! Tuesday, January 19 10am - 11:30am Register here<https://tlevents.kpu.ca/mod/booking/view.php?id=161&optionid=163&action=sho…>. Open Pedagogy is an access-oriented commitment to learner-driven education. It is also a process of designing architectures and using tools for learning that enable students to shape the public knowledge commons of which they are a part. Open pedagogy can include creating, adapting, or updating OER with students, building course policies, outcomes, assignments, rubrics, and schedules of work collaboratively with students, or facilitating student-created and student-controlled learning environments.

In Spring 2020, Statistics Canada collected data from over 100,000 postsecondary students reporting on the impacts of COVID-19<https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-627-m/11-627-m2020032-eng.htm>. Forty-eight percent of students with a job reported either losing their job or being temporarily laid off. Results from a 2017 study<http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/3012/4206> of BC postsecondary institutions, including KPU, showed that 54% students did not purchase a required textbook at least once. Study after study, including at KPU<https://doi.org/10.5206/cjsotl-rcacea.2018.1.5>, has also shown that students have achieved the same or better outcomes when using OER. Join over 400 of your colleagues who actively engage with open education by saving students money and increasing accessibility to educational resources. Participating in the OER Grant program can enrich student learning and provide an opportunity to explore your pedagogical practice in a collaborative and supportive environment. Adapt OER by: * Updating or localizing existing textbooks  <https://libguides.kpu.ca/opentextbooks> * Incorporating interactive components through H5P applications<https://h5p.org/content-types-and-applications>   * Developing ancillary resources (such as question banks), including collaborating with students through open pedagogical practices   Create OER by: * Authoring new open textbooks in areas of need   * Creating open courseware, including videos, lecture slides, learning activities, and more   * Establishing open access journals   To apply and for more information visit kpu.ca/open/grants <https://www.kpu.ca/open/grants> Applications are now open and will be accepted until January 15, 2021. 🔗<https://media.kpu.ca/media/What+are+Open+Educational+ResourcesF/0_8zhj26kp> OER are materials that are freely accessible and openly available for anyone to use, re-mix, improve and redistribute.

For more information and to apply by November 30, 2020 visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship Hear why open is so important to our current Research Fellow: “[Open] is a pathway for me to be student-centred for all my students because it removes financial and other barriers that might be exclusionary. By using OER and open pedagogy practices, I am working with students, amplifying their perspectives, experiences, and voices. As KPU’s inaugural Open Education Research Fellow, I am conducting one of the first studies to explore the perceptions of faculty and students towards open pedagogy, in the hopes that faculty and administrators can make informed choices about open education practices and its support.” -Melissa Ashman (Faculty of Business) Best, [logo gif] Urooj Nizami; MISt, MA (she/her) Open Education Strategist, Office of Open Education Kwantlen Polytechnic University e urooj.nizami(a)kpu.ca<mailto:urooj.nizami@kpu.ca> w www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Subscribe to the KPU Open listserv here<lists.bccampus.ca/mailman/listinfo/openkpu> Kwantlen Polytechnic University ► Where thought meets action This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

Workshop Series by Authors of Open Pedagogy Approaches

by Urooj Nizami

Authors speak to their Open Pedagogy Approaches: Faculty, Library, and Student Collaborations Today we are at a pivotal moment in history. The Covid-19 crisis has resulted in a paradigm shift on how learners of all ages, worldwide, can access learning. It is therefore more than ever essential that the global community comes together now to foster universal access to information and knowledge through [open educational resources]. -- Joint statement, Mrs. Stefania Giannini, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Education, and Mr. Moez Chakchouk, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Communication and Information (http://sli.bnu.edu.cn/uploads/soft/200518/2_1851146971.pdf) It is under this context that the fortuitously-timed release of Open Pedagogy Approaches: Faculty, Library, and Student Collaborations<https://milnepublishing.geneseo.edu/openpedagogyapproaches/> offers prime examples to educators to adjust their approach to teaching and the ways in which they involve their students in the learning process. Open Pedagogy Approaches is an open collection of case studies that highlight various interpretations of what open educational practices can mean to you and your students. While not exclusive to pandemic pedagogy or online learning, a move toward open practices seems a natural fit for the COVID age where universal access to information is essential. The author series of workshops (https://tinyurl.com/OP-author-series) will represent models from the four main sections of the book, providing educators with a taste of what's possible in their classrooms (whether physical, virtual, or hybrid) and a suggested roadmap to get there. All materials shared within the chapters are openly licensed meaning that they are free to use, revise, and remix to fit the specifics of your course design. Each 60-minute workshop will be broken into two presentations under one main topical focus, expanding the ideas that audience members can consider.

OER Focus Group Invitation

by Urooj Nizami

KPU Open Advocates, Consider participating in a focus group toward the development of best practices in fair use and fair dealing for open educational resources. The study is run in part by American University Washington College of Law. -- In any copyright analysis, the first question has to be "what is the purpose of your use?" Thus, this series of focus groups seeks to document the pedagogical, social, and emotional purposes for including third party materials in OER. These focus groups are currently focused on fair use in the United States and fair dealing in Canada - so we encourage participants in both of those jurisdictions to participate. Sign up here! Focus groups run August 19-September 20: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5CC8jNCBSuCkL9Km7jpZbg Which focus group should I attend? In some groups we will be focusing on a particular discipline or education level, so you may want to consider signing up accordingly. But this is an option, not a requirement. You should feel free to sign up for any workshop. For OER librarians, if you sign up for a specific discipline-focused workshop, it would be great if you could either attend with a professor you work with in that discipline, or with a project in that discipline in mind. Please only sign up for a single workshop. And, because this is a personal invitation, please do not pass it on if you are unable to attend yourself. If you have any questions, or if you would like to suggest a colleague to invite, please email: oer(a)wcl.american.edu<mailto:oer@wcl.american.edu>.

Zero Textbook Cost Pathway to Associate of Science Degree by BCcampus

by Arianna Cheveldave

Dear colleagues, A Zero Textbook Cost pathway to an Associate of Science degree<https://bccampus.ca/projects/open-education/pathway-to-associate-of-science…> is now available, based on existing OER that align with core requirements for Associate of Science programs in B.C. This pathway is designed such that a student could feasibly complete an Associate of Science degree without spending any money on textbooks, as they would only use OER and other free resources. In addition, BCcampus is awarding a grant to Thompson Rivers University so that they may develop their own institution-specific pathway. You can read more about that and the development of BCcampus' pathway in this blog post about the Associate of Science pathway<https://bccampus.ca/2020/07/07/a-pathway-to-open-for-science-programs-in-b-…>.

Proposals will be reviewed as they are received, rather than once the call closes, as the deliverables deadline is August 15. From the call: "This call for proposals is to identify qualified institutions, departments, or individual educators to work with BCcampus on the identification, evaluation, and development of open online courses (OOCs) and other OERs." Up to $10,000 will be awarded for the development of each course. Teams of applicants must include B.C. educators. For more information about the call and how to apply for funding, see the link to the call. The second is the call for proposals for the Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) Grant for Marketing Programs<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/zero-textbook-cost-ztc-grant…>, which closes July 24, 2020. From the call: "BCcampus will award one grant (maximum $60,000) to a B.C. institution committed to the development of a Zero Cost Textbook (ZTC) Program (Diploma or Degree) in Marketing." See the link to the calls for more information about the grant and how to apply. If you are interested in developing an application for either call, please email us at open(a)kpu.ca<mailto:open@kpu.ca> so we can advise you and provide you with a letter of support.
