Monday March 30, 2015 10 AM Agenda and Notes
Attending: Brenda, Stephanie, Debra, Leva, Caroline, Martin, Lin

1.Welcome & News
– BCcampus Open Ed won award for Creative Innovation for OT project by OE Consortium
– B, C, M, L attended ACRL conference, lots of people, lots of sessions on OER and good tips (and a few mentioning BCOER)
– interesting discussions: “free alternative textbooks” definition of “open access” “Oer” needs work – sometimes if something is free individuals calling it open when it is not it just means it’s been licensed for our use /conceptual shift
– tip: put OER in your catalogue helps e.g. MARC records and version…
– tip: Ask ourselves how do we make it easy for faculty?
ACTION: think of ways we can “make OER easy for faculty”

2. CC Licensing work (Stephanie)
– CC Primer written and feedback needed pls.
– intent to clarify the confusion/audience is librarians first (faculty indirectly or repurpsed)
– free doesn’t mean its OER per discussion
– case dependent so SS want to give baseline knowledge; foundational tool for librarians
Suggestions for document :
– chunk down the info
– split btw users OER /creators of OER
– visuals would be good or at-a-glance tool or flow chart
– possibly interactive/linked screens
– keep it simple
ACTION: feedback to Stephanie please

3.Subject Guides work (Erin/Amanda away – Leva spoke to this)
– Faculty assessment Checklist done by Amanda and shared
ACTION: feedback to Amanda and then we will post on the web
-Mediawiki orientation Session went well; thank you Amanda and Erin (http://mediawiki.bccampus.ca)
ACTION: continuing experimentation; documentation of best practices on Mediawiki site and planning for upcoming webinar

– BCLA in May (Brenda/Caroline/Rajiv)
– OT Summit in May (Caroline/Leva/Erin)
– Etug in June (poster) (Leva/Debra …)
