Join the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community on Thursday, May 28 at 3:00 pm EST for a webcast presentation and discussion with Quill West, an open education advocate, librarian, and educator from Washington State. Currently Quill is the Open Education Project Manager at Pierce College. In her webcast, West will speak to the importance of academic librarians fostering an institutional culture that embraces open education as their institutions recognize that textbook costs create a significant barrier to students’ access to education. Librarians in Washington State are taking a leadership role in college-wide efforts to adopt alternatives to textbooks by engaging in a Library Services Technology Act (LSTA) Grant administered by the Washington State Library/Office of the Secretary of State. In the effort to achieve open education leadership, West and colleagues have created a course for librarians on how to serve open education needs. The webcast will address the open education skills that librarians are developing in order to better serve the open education needs of our institutions.

Apr'15: Learning Objects for Librarians: An Introduction (Simmons SLIS-CE)
$250.00 (Simmons SLIS Alumni Price $200.00)
April 1 - April 30, 2015 - PDPs: 15
http://alanis.simmons.edu/ceweb/workshop.php?id=211
Learning Objects are reusable online tools that provide instruction to specific audiences. Librarians can make use of Learning Objects to provide point of need instruction via a library website, subject guide or virtual frequently asked questions. They can also be grouped and packaged to create a mini-curriculum or incorporated into full blown courses. Learning Objects provide opportunities for our users to gain knowledge about research concepts or library services at their own pace and to review the content and/or activities as many times as they need to retain the concept or skill.
This workshop will provide an introduction to learning objects, defining what they are, why they are used and best practices. Tools for the creation and implementation of learning objects will be identified and discussed.

Jan: Creative Commons: Open Education, Open Access, and Librarians (ASERL)
January 22,
2014 | 2pm ET
Creative Commons (CC) is a nonprofit organization that enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools. Its free, easy-to-use open copyright licenses provide a simple, standardized way to give public permission to share and use creative works — with conditions or copyright terms which the author specifies. Dr. Cable Green, Director of Global Learning at Creative Commons, will discuss how the Internet, increasingly affordable computing, open licensing, open access journals and open educational resources provide the foundation for a world in which a quality education can be a basic human right. He will also explore how to build effective teams for institution / system-wide OER projects in a way that both builds high quality OER and OA and takes your institutions through the cultural shift to open.https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/119047186
