Open Education and Widening Participation
This document discusses opening educational practices in Scotland through the use of open educational resources (OERs). It defines OERs as educational materials that are freely available under open licenses allowing them to be legally copied, used, adapted and redistributed. The key principles for using OERs are the 5Rs - retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute. The project aims to analyze current open practices, raise awareness of OERs, develop an online hub for sharing best practices, create new OERs, offer badges for informal learning, and research models to evaluate economic impact and widening participation. Barriers to adoption include issues around scale/complexity, individual vs collective learning, negative prior experiences, lack of structure/

UX: engaging and involving students through user experience to inform library...Academic & Research Libraries Group
The document discusses a user experience project conducted by six colleges of the University of the Arts London to inform the development of new library spaces. The project used various methods like mapping, observing, and focus groups to understand how students currently use and experience library spaces. Key methods included observing student movement and static behaviors in existing spaces over two weeks, conducting touchstone tours to gather opinions on most and least used areas, and holding focus groups with observers and college students. The project was conducted in phases from April 2015 to October 2015. One case study highlighted was the London College of Communication library, where the UX report findings were analyzed using maps, observation data, and focus group feedback to develop solutions to improve existing spaces.OER Wales Cymru Overview & Proposals to Extend Project

This presentation was provided by David Wiley of Lumen Learning during a NISO Virtual Conference entitled Opening Up Education, held on April 19, 2017Increasing OER Adoptions with the Community College Consortium for OER
During the past few years, adoptions of open textbooks at community colleges have increased. A key component in many community college adoption campaigns has been participating in communities of practice. Members of the Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER) will share their successful strategies and tactics for creating a community of practice nationally as well as locally.
Etienne Wenger defines communities of practice as “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” With over 200 member colleges in 17 states and provinces, CCCOER encourages collaboration between members and invites OER project presentations at their monthly online advisory meetings. Experienced members advise those who are just getting started on OER and best practices are freely shared. Access to a community of college OER experts through the CCCOER listserve makes it easier for new members to find and adopt the highest quality OER available in their disciplines.
Monthly webinars featuring OER leaders at community colleges, universities, and educational organizations around the world keep the community informed of new research findings, OER projects, and open policies. Meetups at regional and national conferences provide an opportunity to share and promote the OER adoption successes of our members with colleagues throughout higher education.
Why Should You Care About Open Educational Resources?
The document discusses the benefits of open educational resources (OER) for students, faculty, and taxpayers. It outlines current and future funding opportunities for colleges to adopt OER through incentive grants from the California College Textbook Affordability Act and the Achieving the Dream OER Degree Initiative. The document also summarizes California's proposed 2016-17 state budget that includes $5 million to create "zero-textbook-cost degrees" using open educational resources at community colleges.

The Opening Educational Practices in Scotland (OEPS) project aims to facilitate best practices in open education through developing a peer support network and online hub. It seeks to enhance Scotland's capacity and reputation in developing openly available online materials supported by strong pedagogy and learning technology. Originating from partnerships between the Open University in Scotland and other organizations, the project addresses the promise and challenges of open educational resources (OER) by combining open and adult education practices to widen participation. Emerging themes include partnership, embedding practice in learning networks, and designing the online hub to support communities rather than just hosting content. Examples provided demonstrate developing new content and practices through various sector partnerships.

Open access investment at the local level
Slides from the ACRL 2021 conference panel presentation "Open access investment at the local level: Sharing diverse tactics to improve access and affordability."
Panelists include:
- Sam Teplitzky, Open Science Librarian, UC Berkeley
- Timothy Vollmer, Scholarly Communication & Copyright Librarian, UC Berkeley
- Sharla Lair, Senior Strategist, Open Access & Scholarly Communication Initiatives at LYRASIS
- Tom Narock, Assistant Professor of Data Science at Goucher College
- Justin Gonder, Senior Product Manager, Publishing, California Digital Library.
Panel topic:
Improving accessibility, inclusivity, and affordability of scholarship is a central tenet to realizing a more equitable higher education system. Many decisions about open access investments take place at administrative or consortial levels, but librarians frequently field requests for access, resources, or partnerships at the local level through their relationships with students, researchers, and faculty. An open access investment working group was established at UC Berkeley Library in late 2019 to bridge this gap between larger scale strategic investment and local decision making. The group proposed a set of criteria to guide library investments in sustainable open access projects. With this group’s work in the foreground, the panel will share real-world examples of where and how academic libraries decide to invest in open access resources. Panelists will discuss commonalities and differences in strategies and give attendees examples they can apply in their own roles.

Indigenous Art History at BCcampus
Indigenous History Month Art Activity
In June 2022, we got together virtually to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Month by working our way through a month-long art project. Each person was to think of an Indigenous artist they admire, research the artist and their work, and create a piece of art for themselves influenced by the artist they had chosen. Throughout the month we presented on these artists and why we connect to their art and discussed important topics like appropriation vs. appreciation. We learned a lot about Indigenous artists in Canada and about each other and ourselves. The art project allowed people to connect with their heritage as well as Indigenous peoples; it was as much a research and art project as it was a team-building and self-reflection activity.

Team Chat: A Technology for Learning
Presentation by Ian Linkletter, Learning Technology Specialist, UBC
Presenting about UBC’s efforts to implement and evaluate team chat as a learning technology for online and blended courses. Team chat (like Slack) is a transformative communication and collaboration technology, combining threaded discussions with real-time chat in an intuitive and flexible way. Features like persistent history, advanced search capability, file sharing, typing status, mobile apps, and emoji reactions add up to a versatile tool that is still easy to use.
Research shows how timely interactions with instructors, collaboration with classmates, and a sense of community can enhance teaching and learning. This is particularly important in an online learning environment. Team chat has given our students a direct communication channel to their instructor and each other, helping them connect, ask questions, seek clarification, collaborate, and build community.
Since 2016, the Faculty of Education has been piloting an open source team chat application called Mattermost on a UBC-hosted server. Unlike Slack or Microsoft Teams, which are both cloud-hosted outside of Canada, Mattermost allows us to keep student data secure in compliance with BC’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA). Mattermost has been used in over 20 course sections across the faculties of Education, Arts, and Science. As of December 2017, the UBC Mattermost pilot consists of 100 daily active users, 300 monthly active users, and almost 70,000 posts.
Attendees will learn (and chat) about:
• Ways team chat can enhance learning
• How team chat has been applied in real use cases including online program cohorts, learning communities, and research teams
• The relationship between secure, safe, transparent platforms and academic freedom
Mattermost will be blended into the session, allowing attendees to choose the conversation(s) they wish to join, participate in real-time, network with colleagues, and carry on chatting after the Festival of Learning concludes.

Cultivating trust and Emotional Safety in Educational Environments
Presentation by: Steven Bishop, Learning Designer, Douglas College, Ross Laird, Educational Consultant, Laird Associates, Leva Lee, Manager, BCcampus, Kathryn McNaughton, Hope Miller, Online Learning Designer/Trainer, Douglas College, Sandra Polushin, Coordinator / Faculty, Douglas College
Many educational institutions are grappling with the troubling rise of mental health challenges within their communities. Issues such as depression and anxiety are becoming increasingly common not only within the student population but also among instructors and educational administrators, many of whom find their collegial environments to be fraught with new hurdles involving the care and wellness of people.
Bedrock human values such as belonging, trust, and emotional safety are becoming harder to develop and sustain in educational environments undergoing turmoil and change from a variety of influences. How might we preserve and nurture these values? How might we commit to practices that cultivate the wellness and well-being of our colleagues and communities? How might we commit to environments of authentic caring in which people feel emotionally safe and valued?
Over the past year, a small group of practitioners at several local institutions (BCcampus, Douglas College, Vancouver Community College) has been working on projects designed to encourage emotional care and wellness. In this interactive session on the theme of "Mental Health for all within and across our organizations", these practitioners will each share the hurdles and rewards of their process. The purpose of the session will be to provide participants with perspectives and tools to use in approaching themes of care and wellness at their own institutions -- with colleagues, students, and community partners.
The experiential session will be informed by the practice, theory, and research currently being conducted at the partner institutions involved in these projects. Participants will hear about common hurdles involved in promoting the care and wellness of people, will hear perspectives about navigating the complex terrain of human relationships, and will practice tools and ideas for moving forward with their own initiatives.

An adventure into creation of OER: A STEM wiki project
Presentation by Pamini Thangarajah, Associate Professor, Mount Royal University
Removing financial barriers to undergraduate education is crucial, and the creation of open educational resources (OER) will directly help. And not only would the resources developed benefit the students as they are taking the class, but also by making the material open, it could be used by other faculty and students, not only at your institution but beyond.
In an appreciation of my financially unburden educational experience, I have explored what I can do to help the students to access the required learning materials. There is no open text(s) available that can be used for this course. To this end, I have created the resources in an open educational environment.
In this session, I will be walking you through my experience of creating open educational resources for a mathematics course at the Mount Royal University, Calgary.

Scholarly Teaching to SoTL: Exploring the Shared "S"
The document discusses the relationship between scholarly teaching and the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). It notes that while all faculty should strive for scholarly teaching, not all will engage in SoTL. Several scholars are cited that discuss definitions and distinctions between scholarly teaching and SoTL. Scholarly teaching refers to applying scholarly standards to one's teaching, while SoTL involves systematically reflecting on teaching in a way that can be shared and built upon by other academics. The document also discusses attempts to define SoTL that have struggled due to the diversity of SoTL.
