Sharing the BC OER Pulling Together: Guides for Indigenization of Post-Secondary Institutions
10:30 am–11:30 am
Presenters: Dianne Biin, Indigenization Coordinator, Camosun College and Michelle Glubke, Senior Manager Collaborative Projects, BCcampus

Created in 2016–2017 by Indigenous educational thought-leaders across British Columbia, this open professional learning series supports systemic change of public post-secondary institutions to be “relevant, responsive, respectful, and receptive” to Indigenous learners, communities, perspectives, and knowledge through the process of Indigenization. The presenters will share the role of BCcampus in this project and in the open movement; how an Indigenized Quadrant Model was applied to guide content development for leaders and administrators, front line staff, researchers, curriculum developers, and teachers; and how the use of Pressbooks facilitates easy use and reuse of this OER. The session will hold time for questions.

Responsible Research Relationships
Presenter: Dr. Bruce Miller
Dr. Miller will speak to the value of responsible research relationships and his 30 years of experience in working with Coastal First Nations.
