| January 23 | 10-11pm | IKBLC 240A | Open Pedagogy - What is it & What Does it Mean for Librarianship | Erin Fields, Liaison Librarian & Flexible Learning Coordinator
Will Engle, Open Education Strategists, CTLT (?) |
Open pedagogy is a teaching practice that empowers users to work collaboratively and transparently in the creation of knowledge in online open communities. Open pedagogy acts as a way to transform the dynamic of instruction in a way in which those with varying levels of knowledge can critically evaluate information and information systems while actively co-creating new open knowledge sources (e.g. blogs, wikis, videos, etc.).
This session will address how libraries are engaging open pedagogy, including:

| February 13 | 1-2:30pm | Koerner 217 | Best Practices in Research Data Management | Sheryl Adam, Liaison Librarian, Humanities & Social Sciences
Mayu Ishida, Liaison Librarian, Sciences |
How do you manage your research data? Join us for a research data management planning workshop designed to help you incorporate best practices for data management into your own work. We will address such questions as: What file naming standard should I use? What is metadata, and how will it help me manage my data? What's a data repository, and which one should I use? Do I need permission to share my data? In addition, we will discuss critical components of data management planning, provide hands-on practice with methods to name and organize files, review data management resources, and give you a framework to develop your own data management plan. We welcome all researchers; faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and others.

| February 20 | 11-12pm | IKBLC 240A | So, Your Faculty Wants to Build an Open Ed Repository | Erin Fields, Liaison Librarian and Flexible Learning Coordinator | Open Education Repositories (OER) are under development on campus with both internal and external financial support. The OERR are meant to support both the archiving of internally created and externally curated educational content. While these projects are under development, the Library has been contacted for consultation and collaboration on a variety of issues related to finding, using, and re-using the repository content. As librarians, archivists, and library staff, we need to be aware of current and trends and the role we can play in these projects.
This session will cover examples of Open Education Repositories and how to discuss these options with faculty. This session will also cover curation workflows, choosing repositories for a project, and the kinds of assistance available to you to support these discussions. The session will also provide examples of UBC repositories outside of the library. Registration: https://events.library.ubc.ca/dashboard/view/7715 |
| March 7 | 1-2:30 pm | Dodson Room | Innovation in Open Scholarship - A UBC Library Round-up | To be confirmed
|
Open scholarship, which encompasses open science, open access, open data, open education, and all other forms of openness in the scholarly and research environment, is transforming how knowledge is created and shared. Join us for UBC Library lightning talks exploring the practice of open scholarship – from grant funded research, tool development and community engagement, to collection development processes and open access compliance. Hear from UBC Library colleagues who are incorporating “openness” in innovative ways to enhance teaching, research, and public impact.
This event will be held in the Dodson Room, IKBLC. Registration: https://events.library.ubc.ca/dashboard/view/7727 |
| March 27 | 10-11pm | Chilcotin Room | How I learned to stop worrying and start loving Information Security | Scott Baker, Project Manager, Health Research Data, UBC Advanced Research Computing | We all face a daily barrage of news about information security: from hackers to breaches, flaws and vulnerabilities etc... This seemingly endless stream of content can lead to fear, confusion and even denial or abstinence from taking action. There are simple things everyone can do to be more secure. This session will provide an institutional-policy-agnostic, practical set of suggestions and plain language explanations of what can be done by individuals and teams within and outside the work environment and why each is important. The goal being to provide useful, non-technical information that can help with the day-to-day as well as assisting others and planning for the security of research projects and teams.
