1. The BC Open Textbook Project has created over 40 free open textbooks for the highest enrolled subjects in BC post-secondary education. This has helped increase access to education by reducing costs.
2. Studies have shown that OER leads to similar or better learning outcomes for students compared to traditional resources, while saving students thousands in costs.
3. Going forward, the project aims to create 50 more OER resources, increase commitments from BC post-secondary institutions to adopt open textbooks, and ensure the sustainability of the OER collection.
Presentation on Open Textbooks to Okanagan College
The document discusses open education and open educational resources (OER). It notes that OER encompass teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or are released with intellectual property licenses that allow for free use, adaptation, and distribution. Examples of OER include open textbooks, videos, course materials, lesson plans, and software. The document summarizes research finding that using OER increases access to education by reducing costs for students and that students perform equally well or better with OER as with traditional resources. It provides steps for instructors to find, review, supplement, and distribute open textbooks and resources for their courses.
Open Textbooks: How to begin the adoption process
This presentation discusses how to adopt open textbooks for courses. It begins with defining open education and open educational resources. It then outlines the benefits of open textbooks in increasing access and reducing costs for students. The presentation provides a 4 step process for adopting open textbooks which includes finding textbooks, reviewing them, supplementing them with additional materials, and distributing them to students. Various resources and techniques for completing each step are provided. The overall goal is to help faculty understand and begin the process of adopting open textbooks.
Adopting an open textbook: It doesn’t need to be all or nothing
This document discusses adopting open textbooks for college courses. It begins with an overview of open textbooks and their benefits, such as being freely available. It then discusses the history of open educational resources and provides examples of where open textbooks are used. Reasons for adopting open textbooks given by faculty and students include lowering costs and improving access and updating. Survey results from BC show increasing adoption of open textbooks at public post-secondary institutions there, with estimated savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The document concludes by discussing options for faculty considering adopting open textbooks, from full adoption to partial use, and resources for finding open textbooks.
OER: What Is It, Why Should I Care
1. The open education movement is growing and open educational resources (OER) can help students succeed while saving money.
2. OER refer to freely available educational materials that can be openly used, reused, adapted and shared. They use open copyright licenses like Creative Commons that give permission for use.
3. Incorporating OER into classes allows students access to free or low-cost learning materials and helps them complete their education with less financial burden.
Keynote #OER15 (Wales)
Dr. Cable Green presented on strategies for taking open educational resources (OER) mainstream. He discussed the value and benefits of OER, challenges such as low awareness and discoverability, and opportunities to address demand, supply, and capacity issues. Some strategic priorities proposed were developing open policies, building communities, and focusing on open practices and pedagogy. The presentation called for discussion on an OER implementation strategy to accelerate mainstream adoption.

March 2015 coursera presentation
MOOCs have helped reveal biases towards degree-oriented education and will help provide answers about evaluating non-degree learning. Non-degree learning is often referred to negatively as "non-credit", "non-degree", or "soft", but institutions of higher education have a legitimate role in non-degree education. MOOCs are shifting from traditional university-level courses to being more modular, targeted sequences aimed at a variety of education levels with the goals of engagement and income generation rather than just visibility.

The document describes a survey conducted of 336 academic libraries regarding their use of streaming video. It finds that streaming video is common across academic library types, with libraries taking primary responsibility for funding, operations, and decision-making. Libraries prefer providing title-level access to streaming videos, though rely on vendors for catalog records. Staffing needs are low but time commitments unknown. No dominant acquisition model exists, but subscription plans are emerging. Further research is needed on workflows, personnel demands, usage data, vendor interfaces, and metadata integration.Adopting Open Textbooks Workshop - Feb 26, 2013

Wiki Educational Platform For Small Nations
The document discusses using wikis as an educational platform, particularly for small nations. It provides examples of how wikis have been used by various universities and institutions for purposes such as course development, administration, and collaboration between teachers. Case studies describe specific examples of wikis being used to develop open online courses and self-learning materials. Advantages of using wikis for education include easy updating of course materials, improved learner participation and engagement, and courses becoming more dynamic and up-to-date resources.
Virtual Exchange Program
This document summarizes a virtual exchange program that allows students to take online courses from leading universities around the world to enrich their portfolio without having to travel. Some key benefits outlined include accessing world-class instructors, studying flexibly online or in-person, gaining credits, and connecting with an international student community. So far over 700 students have enrolled across 40 courses in various fields. Feedback from students has been positive about the flexibility and learning useful career skills. Some challenges include differing operational approaches between institutions and ensuring scalability of administration as the program grows.

The objective of this presentation is to first, set the background, including the most recent events, around MOOCs. Of course, MOOCs are just an extension of a much earlier and deeper movement toward open education, but they represent a very important milestone in the development of universal higher education, where everyone can learn anything, anytime, anywhere, for free. We will also make some predictions, based on solid evidence, about where MOOCs are going and what their effect will be. Then we will develop some institutional strategies that might make sense given the background and predilections.
ocwc2012
Members of the OCW/OER movement are properly occupied with the current efforts of importance to the movement—increasing the supply and usage of OCW/OER, finding sustainable models, embedding OCW/OER into government and institutional contexts, and seeking ways of certifying knowledge gained through open content. As educators, we are motivated by the high-minded goal of improving access to education throughout the world through technology and free learning opportunities. However, between the focus on issues of immediate concern and the shining light of our overall goal, there is a middle ground that is not well understood by many OCW/OER proponents. That middle ground is composed of large-scale forces that are impacting education and together create an imperative for the OCW/OER movement—a movement that is so important to these trends that the vision we have for the future of OCW/OER is inevitable. This presentation describes these trends and the part that OCW/OER plays in them.
The first and most important trend is the movement toward universal higher education. First identified and described by Martin Trow in 1973, universal higher education is the third stage in the evolution of higher education, following the movement from elite to mass higher education. There are two components for universal higher education. The first is the traditional notion of access by providing access to higher education to people who otherwise could not take part because of geographical or financial issues. The second component is more subtle, but no less important or visible after, the breakdown of boundaries, sequences, and distinctions between learning and life. This presentation will describe how universal higher education is becoming clearly evident and offer some examples of how OCW/OER is a major component in the advancement of universal higher education.
The second trend is the “commoditization” of education. A good or service is “commoditized” when it becomes ubiquitously available at no or very low cost. There are clear patterns of behavior that occur when an important aspect of an industry becomes commoditized. These patterns are evident in the commoditization of content (Google, Wikipedia, YouTube) and communications (Facebook, Skype, Twitter), both of which are important elements of education. Education itself is showing signs of becoming commoditized. Commoditization pushes the “value proposition” to the periphery of the good or service. This presentation will describe that value add shift in higher education, what it means to the OCW/OER movement, and how we can take advantage of this trend.
Advocacy on behalf of the OCW/OER movement is an important role for the OCWC and its members. That advocacy can be most effective when all of us understand the social and economic dynamics that shape our movement. OCW/OER is here to stay in ever greater volume and utility because it is aligned with major social, economic, and edu

Open Policy Webinar for Open Education Consortium
This document discusses open education policies and open licensing of educational resources created with public funds. It notes that while governments and public universities often fund the creation of educational resources, the default copyright is typically "all rights reserved" instead of open licensing. This means the public does not have access to works they helped fund through taxes. The solution proposed is for governments and universities to require through grants and contracts that publicly funded educational resources be openly licensed. The document provides examples of open licensing policies from the US Department of Education and the provinces of Sri Lanka and countries of Botswana and Cameroon. It also discusses challenges and opportunities in growing the open education movement through organizations supporting open policies.

Developing an Open Education Policy
This document discusses developing open education policies. It defines open policies as laws and rules that facilitate the creation and improvement of openly licensed educational content. Adopting open policies can maximize returns on public investments and promote openly available global resources. Open licensing policies typically address how an institution will license content created by staff and how they will require grants and contracts to produce openly licensed works. Common characteristics of effective open policies include being specific, collaborative, transparent, allowing feedback, including evaluation measures, and processes for revising policies that are not working. The document asks questions about aligning an institution's mission and vision with open education practices and how open strategies could be integrated into operational and academic plans.
Adapting to Adaptations: Helping the People Behind the Work
This document summarizes a presentation given at the CC Global Summit on April 30, 2017 about adapting open educational resources. The presentation discusses challenges faced in the BC Open Textbook Project, which involved creating and adapting open textbooks for use in British Columbia. Initial challenges included assumptions that open textbooks only contained openly licensed material, that faculty understood open licensing and technology, and that adapting textbooks would be easier than creating new ones. Subsequent phases brought challenges relating to content, time constraints, file formats, technology skills, and licensing issues. The presentation provides examples of discussion topics groups addressed around challenges of adapting open resources, such as understanding open licenses, selecting authoring platforms, finding resources and support, and determining the scope of adaptations.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
