Rebus Textbook Success Program
by Glenn Bergen 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

I’m passing along news of a promising OER training opportunity. For those who haven’t heard, Campus Manitoba is aiming to pull together a Manitoba-based cohort for the Rebus Textbook Success Program. Participants should be individuals or teams currently working on specific OER projects. The program would begin in November. The professional development program is one year long, and would include 9 to 12 weeks of weekly meetings, followed by monthly meetings. Details on the program can be found here: https://rebus.community/textbook-success-program/ Cost is $4000 per OER project, and allows participation for all members of the team. You can contact Carley McDougall (mcdougallc(a)campusmanitoba.ca<mailto:mcdougallc@campusmanitoba.ca>) for more information. If you’re interested in the opportunity, please let me know as well, and I can look into the possibility of the OER grant program supporting the registration costs. — Glenn Bergen (he/him) OER Coordinator, University of Manitoba Libraries 151 Elizabeth Dafoe Library T: 204-474-7338 https://umanitoba.ca/libraries/advance-open-ed

OER group meeting September 26th @ 9-10 am
by Julie Doner 18 Sep '23

18 Sep '23

Hello all, We will be having our inaugural meeting of the OER group on Tuesday, September 26th from 9-10 am in the Icelandic Board Room on the 3rd floor of the Dafoe Library, beside the Archives. (One person indicated that they are not free until 9:15 am on the poll. It is fine to arrive late.) At this initial meeting, we will: * Introduce each other and our interest in OERs * Make suggestions for things to read and discuss this semester * Discuss who is interested in writing accountability sessions * Determine whether to meet once or twice a month (if twice a month, one meeting would likely be a writing accountability session, and could be for just a subset of us). * Discuss the OER grants and the OER lab at UM If you cannot make it, feel free to send me your suggestions/preferences in advance of our first meeting. Looking forward to meeting you!
