Call for Faculty Representatives | Open Education Working Group

by Urooj Nizami

Dear colleagues, The Open Education Working Group (OEWG)<https://www.kpu.ca/open/oewg> brings together key stakeholders from across the institution to provide advice and support for KPU’s open education initiatives, which include the creation, adaptation, and adoption of open educational resources, the development of Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) programs, and the embrace of innovative open pedagogies. The OEWG meets once a semester when it adjudicates KPU’s OER Grant program<https://www.kpu.ca/open/grants>, but conducts most of its activities asynchronously in between those meetings. As the term of one of our current faculty representatives is soon coming to an end, this is a call for expressions of interest from faculty who would like to join this dynamic group for a two-year term. To read more about the mandate, composition, and operating procedures of this group, please visit: https://www.kpu.ca/open/oewg Please submit all expressions of interest to open(a)kpu.ca<mailto:open@kpu.ca> by Friday, November 12, 2021.

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. Please click the link below to provide your contact information, to answer a few questions in order to create your profile and to give your consent to the research project.

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> ).

Renewable assignments (also known as non-disposable assignments) are 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.

You're Invited | KPU Open Education Week 2021

by Urooj Nizami

Open Education Week 2021 [Open Education Week 2021 Flyer] Mark Your Calendars! Monday, March 1 | 12:30 – 1:30pm Wicked Problems and Open Remedies: A student centered approach Facilitated by Arley Cruthers (KPU) Panelists: Kristen Morgan (UBC Okanagan), Sophia Nguyen (SFU), Caitlin Spreeuw (Douglas College) In planning and policy, a wicked problem is one that is difficult or impossible to solve due to incomplete, contradictory, interconnected, and/or changing factors. 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. To register, please visit: https://bit.ly/3u9Mj4Z<https://bit.ly/3u9Mj4Z> Tuesday, March 2 | 10:00 – 11:00am Open Education Research: Tips and advice Facilitated by Melissa Ashman Faculty across BC have access to tremendous support and opportunities to engage in open education. If you’re curious about open education research, this session is for you. In this session, you’ll hear from one instructor who is completing a research study on the perceptions of faculty and students towards open pedagogy. Learn more about her project and gain tips and advice to help launch your own research project. This event will be hosted on Zoom and is open to folks beyond KPU. However, you must have a registered Zoom account to access the event. To register, please visit: https://bit.ly/2ZyNSLK<http://bit.ly/2ZyNSLK> Wednesday, March 3 | 3:00 – 4:00pm Indigenous Resources for Virtual Classrooms Facilitated by Rachel Chong This workshop provides support towards KPU's Vision 2023 goal to "embrace all cultures and promote a renewed, authentic approach to Indigenization". This session will cover how to integrate asynchronous video instruction on the respectful use of Indigenous information with the Indigenous Information Literacy video playlist, add special topic support through the Indigenous Studies guide for areas such as Truth and Reconciliation, Indigenous literature, and more. There will be ample time for discussion to help generate ideas for optimal classroom use. KPU Open is encouraging the KPU community to check out Honoring Indigenous Writers, a series of UBC-hosted events starting 24-Feb and throughout the month of March, including a Wikipedia-edit-a-thon! More info at: https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/ <https://hiw.open.ubc.ca/%C2%A0> To register, please visit: https://bit.ly/3k8e6OG Thursday, March 4 | 10:00 – 11:00am Open Pedagogy in Practice: Students as content creators Facilitated by Andrea Niosi No textbook? No problem! In this session you will learn how one faculty member designed a 4th year capstone course so students could become content creators for the course. In 13 weeks, 34 KPU students designed and published an OER that now serves other educators, students, and a broader audience of users. Hear how to structure such an ambitious project (online!) and from the students themselves who participated in the course and co-authored the OER.
