@june24-cohort thank you for your flexibility in rescheduling our October meeting. I really appreciate you all being available to attend and participate. As a reminder, in Phase 2, we meet just once a month, alternating between 1:1 meetings and cohort meetings.
At our October cohort meeting (link to chat here), we shared project updates and reviewed our Phase 1 survey results. We then discussed various OER publishing platforms with a goal to decide on a publishing platform by our November 1:1 meeting. I created a Google Sheet that provides information on the most popular OER publishing platforms. If you’ve already decided on your platform, you don’t need to look this over, but if you have not yet decided, this should be a useful tool for you. I also created a Google Sheet that includes popular interactive tools. We will continue to explore and think ancillary resources as you draft your chapters. For our next cohort meeting in December, we’ll go over open licensing questions.
As a reminder, in Phase 2, we are focusing on drafting your content. We should be close to completing a sample chapter and author guide template. If you have not yet posted these, let’s work to get something submitted. Remember that it does not need to be perfect–you can continue to work on both documents.
Here’s a sign up sheet for our November 1:1 meetings (we will be back to our second Wednesday time for this meeting and for the one in December because you’ll all be on break during the third week). If these times don’t work for you, I usually have availability on Mondays and Thursdays this semester, so please just suggest a few other times that might work.
Happy writing!
