I received the email of this post made at 11:55 AM on 9/23 but wasn’t available to schedule the open timeslots for that day. I now see that all the timeslots for today (9/27) are taken.

Applied Algebra cohort is meeting this morning at 10 am for our September Meeting.

I am available this afternoon after the listed times for a one-on-one to meet with you on behalf of the Applied Algebra cohort.

If you are still meeting @jeusea, please send me an invite and I will join before the meetings start at 11. Emily sent out all of the organizing emails for this set of meetings, so I was just following up with the schedule. I am afraid that I have to get off the LOUIS Zoom account promptly at 1 today because there is another meeting scheduled at that time, but I can your join meeting.

I will also go ahead and start the Zoom meeting for 11 a.m. a little bit early and you are free to join then.

@whittonn - we wrapped up the meeting before I received this post.

@jeusea Noon is fine. I will work you in between other cohorts. Sorry that you didn’t receive the email from Emily. Several folks today have said that those emails went to their spam folders.

Here is the LOUIS info:

Great to see everyone for our September one-on-ones @may24c-cohort. It sounds as though your work is going well. Our October meeting is scheduled for next Friday, October 4th from 10 to 11:30 for most of the cohort which includes Food, Safety, and Sanitation, Intro to Corrections, Criminology, and Applied Algebra. Math for Elementary Teachers and Introduction to Safety have opted to move to the A Cohort meeting time. We will also be joined by Nutrition and CDL from the A cohort We will be sharing our Project Summary templates with each other, so please plan to talk about the great things you are doing with the other teams.

All past recordings and future invitations are still being posted to our Milestones Document. Emily has also sent you Google calendar invitations from the LOUIS account.

Have a great weekend,
Tasha

Thank you @may24c-cohort for attending our meeting on Friday to share your progress. Everyone is doing such tremendous work,and I am glad that you got an opportunity to get a glimpse of what is going on with the other teams.

Introduction to Safety shared their project which is still in Google Docs, but Brian and Jeff are going to move it to Pressbooks. We talked about the balance of visuals in the text, along with their plan to add case studies.

Food, Safety, and Nutrition shared their chapter and the work that they put in to find a common voice so that the book would not sound as though it was written by multiple people. They have also been using Canva to create visuals.

Introduction to Corrections has all of their chapter in Word and is editing to make the move to Pressbooks. They are still working on visuals and considering where to add H5P components.

Criminology has chapter 1 and 2 in Pressbooks. They have a number of videos, primarily from YouTube. They are also taking original photos that represent Louisiana to use in the text.

Applied Algebra is continuing to add material to their text from Open Stax and other sources. They are spending time on cleaning up the html so that their equations display properly.

Math for Elementary Teachers has also moved several chapters into Pressbooks. They discussed redoing some of the tables that they are copying from other sources. Amelia mentioned that the best practice would be to use the eraser to eliminate any of the original formatting and then use one of the prepared tables in Pressbooks. It is not recommended that teams use the custom option.

November was a busy month. If you missed the meeting on Enhancing Content in Pressbooks or the meeting on Creative Commons & Open Licenses, both recordings are available on the spreadsheet. Please note that Amelia is also available for 20 minute tech help or check-in sessions this month. There is a signup sheet here.

Thank you all again for sharing your amazing progress with the full group. We will meet once in January for you to provide an update on your progress. In February, we will have weekly working meetings as we cover the last of our Rebus content before you complete the Textbook Success Program and move on to the course development and piloting phases of this process with LOUIS.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season,
Tasha
