- 17. Hindrance or Helpful? • In some versions, they stop talking, start listening and collaborate to "see" the full elephant. • While one's subjective experience is true, it may not be the totality of truth. • Everyone looking can see a different, and have different experiences. • An extension to this is gaining the knowledge from the range of perspectives. • And again don’t forget the need for communication, and respect for different perspectives.

Editor's Notes
- Sarah
- Sarah In this presentation we will present on how Camosun is maximizing the use of open resources for trades training. We will also look at the interdisciplinary approach we have taken at our institutions which involves faculty, students, staff and external partnerships. Cam osun College has integrated the use of text books throughout its programs and it has shown benefit throughout its use. In our presentation show you how Camosun uses opentext booksIn This interdisciplinary education we have a range of disciplines collaborating in the learning process with the goal of fostering inter professional interactions. Within the presentation we plan to get a range of perspectives from different departments and people the four areas we aim to explore are, Students, Faculty, developers and applied research specialist/ engineering graphics technician.
- Sarah-Jayne is a Continuing Education instructor and employee at Camosun College. She has worked on a variety of different programs, most recently on the delivery of essential skills training and development of a blended learning trades program at Camosun. Josh holds a Red Seal in both Plumbing and Steam/Pipe Fitting. He is an instructor in the Pipe Trades Department at Camosun and alongside Rod Lidstone, Josh is a contributor and advocate of open resources and e-learning technologies in Trades Training. Matt handles most of the 3D scanning, reverse engineering, prototyping and CAD services at the Technology Access Centre. A graduate from Camosun’s Engineering Graphics Technician program and a Certified Solidworks Professional, Matt’s work is primarily focused on digital design and mentorship in 3D software, facilitating adoption of advanced technologies, and crafting advanced learning materials. Matt also assists with many of the ongoing projects at the Centre through his experience in a wide range of 3D scanning technologies and processes, non-conventional silicone moulding, and utilization of 3D printed parts. Hebron-Hebron Watson is an international student from the Bahamas studying Computer Science Technology at Camosun. When not studying, he is also an intern at Camosun Innovates and works on open resource projects.
- Josh Over the past two years with the support of Open School BC, Camosun College has developed 23 open textbooks and a number of ancillary resources for Trades training. The digital distribution of open textbooks allow for a seamless integration of multimedia learning assets which can enrich both teaching and learning. Test banks, instructional and procedural videos, alternate resources are some examples or resources available to instructors all with the option to be customized to match the style of instruction or learning with an emphasis on Universal Design elements. For the students this means a flexible delivery of content and cost savings. Camosun Pipe Trades uses the Learning Management System D2L or Brightspace. Text can be PDF, doc.x or HTML Presently an Instructor's Guidebook and Toolkit for Adoption of Open Resources is being developed by Camosun's Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning meant to support instructors incorporate open resources.
- Examples of Camosun uses with open textbooks
- Matt: At Camosun we have created we have developed several interactive “games” to allow students to practice assembling scaffolding and to use and read several measurement devices for BC Campus. These are used within open text books which in turn used within teaching face to face and online learning platforms. A picture is worth 1000 words, and a video is 30 pictures per second. By crafting the right balance of featured concepts and guiding focus, thirty seconds of video can convey more information than an hour of reading. We all know learning is a combination of presentation, understanding, and practice. Memory retention requires a balance of interest, relevance, and comparison to familiar concepts and experiences. By identifying and utilizing inherently familiar concepts, experiences, and presentation methods the amount of “work” required by the student to commit the learned concept to memory is greatly reduced. These documentary animations we have created serve as a fantastic model for conveying a breakdown of a concept in a pace that is informative, clear, and entertaining. Using this entertainment subconsciously sustains the motivation to learn. For processing intensive concepts, repetition is key in committing the process to memory. To reduce the required infrastructure and costs related to having many expensive instruments and assemblies on hand, a simulated experience can supplement the practice component of a learning task quite effectively. A longstanding example of this is for Pilot training – the time spent “playing” Microsoft Flight Simulator is actually calculated against the number of flight hours required for a pilot to become licensed. With this in mind, we developed the interactive “games”.

- Josh ‘We wanted to create open textbooks that are usable as introductory information for a wide range of trades programs the instructors really have a good feel for the feedback from the students and seem to connect with the students quite closely. Dedication to the open movement positive response to open textbooks With free open textbooks, the potential for reduced anxiety among students is huge the students will continue to save money with open resources—such as free, online textbooks—in years to come’ Sarah As a creator of online interactive learning resources for ITA pipe trades I have been able to link directly to the common core online text books. With one click of a button a whole world of collections of accessible books are available. What I have learned about it I am in awe of the power of having all this information at hand. As I continue linking text books to online resources I find it of a great help Im able to read this resource and cross check what I am doing for my SME. Simply having the ability of that has been of massive benefit. The variety of subjects and experiences that I have at hand has given new perspectives to developing online resources with an all-round accessible approach to all ranges of backgrounds, needs and experiences. Using online open textbooks has been a new experience to which has proven to be a valuable one. Having worked for a college previously I have found this experience with open textbooks a unique one. It has encouraged me to work with a rage of departments. Including eLearning, plumbing, contract training, cook training, audio visual services, Camosun Innovates and obviously pipe and trades. Who new one project could open you up to all these people with a common goal. Sarah has had has given new perspective to developing the online resources with an all-round accessible approach of all ranges of backgrounds needs and experiences. Using online open textbooks has been a new experience to Sarah which has proven to be a valuable one.

- In this workshop Camosun’s development team will introduce participants to some of the concepts utilized in designing and developing these assets. Participants will get hands-on experience in an interactive workshop, in which they will demonstrate how to build additional exercises for a Multimeter learning asset. Individuals who the appropriate computer resources will be able to build their own activities both in and after the workshop. As well, we will present on how Camosun is maximizing the use of open resources for trades training. We will also look at the interdisciplinary approach we have taken at our institutions which involves faculty, students, staff and external partnerships.
