Welcome to 2025! Hard to believe one year ago this month, you all began your TSP journey. It has been an incredible honour to work alongside you this past year, watching not only your projects grow and develop, but you all.
This month, we’ll be meeting one last time as a group. During this session, we’ll review the year we’ve had together, look forward to the future, and you’ll all be able to receive your certificates.
Currently on the calendar, our final session is scheduled for Tuesday, January 13 at 2:00pm-3:30pm CT. Please let me know if this time works for you - if it doesn’t, please send along your availability and I will happily reschedule us to a time that works for the majority of us.
Thanks so much and look forward to seeing you all soon!
Reminder that we have our final session of the program tomorrow - Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at 3:00pm-4:30pm. Below you’ll find the link to tomorrow’s session:
Congratulations everybody! We have now hit a major milestone as we complete the Textbook Success Program! Thanks to all those who could be there this week for our final session. As always, I’ve saved some of the conversation in our chat transcript, but wanted to provide a bit of a recap for those who couldn’t be there.
Even though the program is wrapping up, we want to make sure that you still have the opportunity to connect as a network and feel supported with your OER publishing work. You can still:
use the Rebus forum to have conversations about your project with your team, the cohort, and the wider community
share CFPs, updates, announcements around your project, which Rebus will be happy to amplify (definitely let the group know when your OER is published and any insights you have as you use it in the classroom)
Revisit the program objectives and think back on your time in the TSP. Are there special sections of your OER that you want to highlight? Personal growth or skills learned that you are proud of? If there’s anything you want to share with your cohort — about your growth, new realizations, or next steps — this is your space and chance to say what you need!
Evaluation Form
If you haven’t yet, I will also ask you to submit your reflections and feedback about the program via this evaluation form. And to those who have — thank you! We take your feedback and reflections into account to shape experiences for future cohorts.
Certificate of Completion
Once you complete your evaluation, you will be directed to generate your certificate of completion. Select January 2024 for the Textbook Success Program Cohort and enter the name of your OER for the Project Name field.
If any of you have any questions or trouble accessing any of these documents, please let me know.
Once again, thank you all so much! I look forward to staying in touch. It’ll be lovely to meet you all in person someday. Until then, take care, and please keep the group posted about how you and your projects are coming along.
Congratulations everyone! We’re so glad to add you all to our alumni network, and can’t wait to see your OER projects publishing in the coming months! Please stay in touch with Kaitlin, one another, and the Rebus team!
Congratulations all! On behalf of the team at Campus Manitoba, we thank you for your hard work and dedication this year and for increasing the capacity for open education at your institutions. Also, a BIG thank you to Kaitlin, Amy, Apurva and the Rebus team for putting together this fabulous program.
