Call for Open Content: Digital Literacy Collection

Status: open

BCcampus is inviting submissions to enhance the B.C. Digital Literacy Collection. We are seeking resources that reflect one or more of the eight competencies of the B.C. Digital Literacy Framework. The goal is to enhance our collection of professional development resources and course materials intended to support digital literacy development across the B.C. post-secondary sector.

Formats

“Learn It” Resources (i.e., materials for educators to learn about digital literacy):

  • Professional development resources
  • Tutorials
  • Guides

“Teach It” Resources (i.e., materials educators can use in their teaching):

  • Individual or group learning activities
  • Assignments, lesson plans, and exercises aligned with course content
  • Accompanying assessment tools (rubrics and other evaluation tools or frameworks)

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Criteria

All materials submitted must be:

  • Openly licensed
  • Easily shared file formats: Word, PDF, H5P, HTML, or Pressbooks. Because the goal is for easy, online sharing with a wide audience, we cannot accept closed or proprietary formats (e.g., LMS-specific zip files).
  • Accessible – at minimum, submissions adhere to the BCcampus Accessibility Toolkit’s Accessibility Checklist. 
  • Quality, inclusive learning design – when reviewing materials for inclusion in our collection, we look for materials reflecting current best practices, principles, and frameworks, including: 
    • Open Pedagogy

Compensation

We are pleased to offer compensation according to the scope or size of the materials:

  • Type 1 ($500): shorter assignments or activities with learning outcomes, clear instructions and a simple rubric or other marking guide.
  • Type 2 ($1000): longer assignments, a collection of learning activities, or assignments with outcomes, clear instructions and a simple rubric or other marking guide and additional supplementary teaching materials (e.g., slides, list of related openly licensed online resources).
  • Type 3 ($2000): integrated unit or module with robust learning activities, learning materials and assessments.

We welcome multiple submissions; however, any one person can only receive a maximum of $2000.
