Hello,

I have a question about phase 2: Will we be turning in a Moodle course for the first chapter along with the first chapter?

Hi @may24b-cohort,

Thanks for a wonderful session yesterday! It was great to see you all and hear about how your projects are coming along. Here is a link to our session chat transcript.

Yesterday we chatted about Phase 2 and what we can all expect from it. We went over the Phase 2 folder in the Curriculum Hub and how it offers you some additional resources and a checklist outlining the deliverables needed from Rebus in Phase 2. Note that Phase 2 sessions are a lot more flexible and conversational than Phase 1. Please make sure you’re bringing questions, topics, and updates on your projects to every session. Since these are monthly sessions, it’s especially important to reiterate your team’s monthly goals at these sessions and provide updates at the following session or in the forum.

Some topics that were mentioned in the Phase 1 Survey to discuss in Phase 2 were:

  • Authoring & Content creation
  • Editing
  • Accessibility and Inclusive Design
  • Formatting and Release Preparation – This will be a session in Phase 3
  • Storytelling & Marketing – We covered some of this in Phase 1, but it will also come back a little bit in a slightly different way in Phase 3 when we talk about Release Preparation because telling your project’s story will be an important part of your promotional efforts when you release your OER to the wider open education community.

If you have other topics you’d like to discuss or specific questions around the listed topics, please comment below and fill out the Phase 1 Survey if you haven’t done so already.

We also chatted a bit about Pressbooks and H5P yesterday and how you can use them in your content creation. I shared a few resources that can provide some additional information about these tools:

Below is some information about our next two sessions:

  • September’s 1:1 Session - This will partly be an accountability check. We’ll check in on your goals you set for the month. Please be sure to have your team sign up for a timeslot. Only one person needs to sign up on behalf of the team, but be sure to add everyone’s email addresses to the sign-up form so that everyone gets the meeting invitation.
  • October’s Cohort Session - Please bring along something from your project (a chapter, author guide, table of contents, etc.) to share with the cohort. We’ll offer feedback and answer questions you may have about it. You should be receiving communication from LOUIS about scheduling this session.

Please comment below about what your/your team’s goals are for the upcoming month. Only one person from each team needs to post the goals on behalf of your team. If you have any questions/concerns, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll check in with you all next month!
