I’m so sorry about that, Jenna. It looks like others have also had issues with the calendar for our session this week. Our next session is on August 10, and all other dates are outlined in the syllabus. Hopefully we’ll see you then!
This is so exciting! I hope the call goes well. You have a very clear agenda and I’m sure will facilitate the conversation in a way that keeps everyone feeling comfortable and excited. I think it’s okay for you to note that a sample chapter is in progress.
Not at all! Doing a second round is quite common. A targeted request would be helpful - sometimes this can draw the attention of specialists in those areas. The limited pool may also indicate the social proof that this is a large team, and encourage others to want to collaborate with you. I think you could highlight how many people are on the team, and if the group is comfortable, share some of the affiliations or names of people involved.
Thanks for sharing — I can’t wait to see the sample chapter. The first one is always the hardest, and the others to follow should be much smoother. If you’re interested in H5P, I highly recommend attending the Advanced PressbooksEDU webinar where they discuss the basics of H5P in Pressbooks, plus looking at the resources in the H5P PB Kitchen Website.
