Editor's Notes

- I work at BCcampus , where we acknowledge the Coast and Straits Salish People on whose traditional territories we are privileged to live, work and play.
- One of the drivers for open education is that education is becoming increasingly more expenses. While there are a number of affordability issues, as listed in this slide, books and supplies are not the highest cost leading to affordability issues – but it is the one cost that faculty and institutions can impact and it has a special impact on the academic success of students.
- Tuition fees began rising faster than the rate of inflation in the mid-1990s. Undergraduate students in Ontario ($8,114) paid the highest average tuition fees in 2016/2017.

- Open Educational Resources are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use or re-purposing by others.
- These are examples of OER that can be integrated into teaching practice – Free to use and licensed under a CC license https://sites.camosun.ca/camosun_innovates/OLR/
- CC licenses enable the free distribution of otherwise copyrighted work. A CC license is used when an author wants to give people the right to share, use, and build upon a work that they have created. Authors retain IP, but may allow for differing levels of flexibility – 5R
- retain in the newest OER- fundamental R, if I can download and adapt my own copy… retain was assumed but became important to call it out permissions must be granted for free, for one to think of it as an OER 5 Rs means that we need formal legal instruments to grant these- creative commons licenses through the act of putting a CC license on a presentation, book, etc— i am formally telling you this is okay…
- becoming more popular because of the good will of open, but it is really just a marking measure - have to create an account - not having 5 R permissions apply test- is it granted me the permissions to engage in the 5Rs? when you make the choice to use copyright work you are at that point of struggle- internet enables, but copyright restricts
- There are three main reasons that propel BCcampus’s drive for open education and in particular in the open textbook project. To increase access to higher education by reducing students, to give faculty more control over their instructional resources, and to improve learning outcomes for students.
- At the start of the project in 2012, BCcampus did an inventory of the highest enrolled subject areas at BC post-secondary institutions. Many established open education projects had already created and adapted open educational resources and open textbooks in some of these areas, so rather than start from scratch by creating new textbooks BCcampus decided to adopt open textbooks that already existed and had a proven track record of high quality and widely adopted materials.
- BCcampus then posted these open textbooks in their collection and began to solicit reviews from BC faculty. Faculty were to review a book’s comprehensiveness, content accuracy, relevance, clarity, consistency and modularity. Each review was then posted with the open textbook in the collection. As you can see these reviews are open because they are posted along with the reviewer’s name and which institution he or she is affiliated with. Also each review is released under a CC-BY-ND license. ND (non-derivative) was added as a condition to the Creative Commons license to ensure the reviews could not be changed.
- From the reviews BCcampus then put out a call for proposals for faculty to adapt the textbook based on the reviews. They wanted to ensure that whatever was missing or lacking from a textbook in the collection that it was then adapted to meet the needs of BC Faculty. In some cases the reviews indicated that the books were too US centric, or that some of the chapters were not relevant for the BC context. Being able to adapt a textbook to meet specific learning outcomes, that is the power of working in the Open. The faculty had the opportunity to change the textbook. Here is one example of an adaptation- Professor Jessie Key at VIU adapted the Introductory Chemistry book based on the reviews submitted.
- We continue to create a suite of guides and toolkits to provide support the adaptation of open textbooks and related work in open education. Some of these, such as the Adaptation Guide and Pressbooks Guide, are “open creations”, i.e. works in progress or under development that are publicly viewable and accessible, openly licensed, and available for harvesting and comments. If you go to our website, you will see all of these items listed under the “Resources” drop-down link. This open creation concept is brand new, something I came up with a few weeks and blogged about. It really came out of laziness. I wanted to offer my work to the world without finishing it; but, on the other hand, my perfectionist self wanted to make sure each guide went through the rigorous steps of review, copy editing, proof reading. I have also found that putting one’s work up for other’s to see is a great opportunity to gather ideas and even if someone doesn’t directly comment on the work, when I’m asked a question and don’t have an answer, I can always say: “That’s a great idea. I don’t’ know the answer, but I’ll put a page in the Adaptation Guide and think about it. Maybe someone else has a solution.”

- There are a number of studies that highlight the proven quality and efficacy of open educational resources. One result in particular, and most recent, highlights just this. Across eleven academic studies that attempted to measure results pertaining to student learning (with 48,623 students participated) none showed results in which students who utilized OER performed worse than their peers who used traditional textbooks.
