Fresh off the press. Open educational practices (OEP) include open educational resources (OER), open pedagogy, "where students are creators of learning materials and not just consumers", open access publishing, and open research and open data. But (depending on who you ask) OEP can be much more than that, entailing as well commitments to such things as global justice, decolonization, diversity, equity and inclusion (addressed directly by Jade Hupé in section 1.5 and Roberta Campbell-Chudoba and Heather M. Ross in 1.6). The chapters are short, often frustratingly so; this brevity often comes at the expense of clarity (a slightly longer section on types of open access, for example, could properly define each of the different terms instead of just mentioning them in passing). Section 6.3 brushes by the First Nations OCAP principles, the CARE principles, and the Tri-Council Policy Statement without really telling the reader why these policies are in place. Positioning them as 'exceptions' feels wrong to me.
