Our first monthly check-in will take place on September 8th. The check-ins will give us the opportunity to dive deeper into topics we’ve discussed over the first 12 weeks of the program, or to discuss something completely new. We’ll also use the check-ins as a space to highlight strides on projects, share updates, bring up any challenges you are facing, or ask questions. The check-ins will complement our discussions in the forum, so we’ll keep an eye out for conversations taking place outside the calls and make adjustments as needed. I’ve started this poll below with some preliminary suggestions for topics for us to address at our upcoming check-in, and can always add to it with your suggestions. If there’s a particular topic here you’d like us to address, vote for it (you can choose multiple topics) _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.rebus.community/t/september-monthly-check-in/4050/1))_ ---

[@may20-cohort](https://forum.rebus.community/groups/may20-cohort) — we’re getting closer to our September check-in date. If you haven’t already, take a moment to vote for what topic you’d like us to discuss. I’ll close the poll by the end of the week. ---

[@may20-cohort](https://forum.rebus.community/groups/may20-cohort), looks like the votes are tied for our mini-session: classroom review & licensing and fair use. We’ll tackle classroom review at next week’s check-in on Sept. 8, and licensing and fair use at our session in October (I’ll share a few prompts for this licensing discussion). As usual, our session will be on [Zoom](https://zoom.us/j/823176390) (you can join using the same password). Looking forward to catching up, and hearing how you have all been! For our classroom review mini-session, here are some documents we will refer to: 1. [Handout: Classroom Review](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z0cDg3UQbqxz4Jbv92bKxUcmFBhkPdGbpFTbGtAI1EM/edit?usp=sharing) 2.

[@may20-cohort](https://forum.rebus.community/groups/may20-cohort) thank you all for joining our check-in this past Tuesday. If you couldn’t make it, review our handout and slides in my previous post and let us know if you have any questions. Some important notes: - Our next check-in will be on October 6. The mini-session topic is licensing and fair use. - Please submit your questions about fair use, as it pertains to your project, so that we can dig into this during our mini-session. The more specific your question is, the better it will be for our discussion! - Our check-in for November will not take place on November 3 (to ensure that those located in the US have the day to vote, work at the polls). We will decide whether to pre-pone the session or post-pone when we meet in October. You can also look at the [chat transcript](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1butqQkFMUO_SwOtAHqb3mAiQqpeDEIx1MtI7UrStfVc/edit?usp=sharing) and resources to keep track of what was shared: - [Post-Sessions Evaluation — May 20 Cohort](https://forum.rebus.community/t/post-sessions-evaluation-may-20-cohort/4051) - please fill this in if you haven’t yet! - [Instructional Design of Open Textbook Practice Problems](https://kitchen.opened.ca/2020/08/07/august-webinar/) (using H5P in Pressbooks) - [H5P OER Hub](https://h5p.org/oer-hub-coming) - [Pressbooks Guide: Text in Columns](https://guide.pressbooks.com/chapter/columns-for-pdf/) - Examples of OERs using images and other elements to break up long text: - [Our Stories](https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/indigstudies/) (see chapters 1 and 5) - [The Story of Earth](https://uhlibraries.pressbooks.pub/historicalgeologylab/) (work in progress from faculty in the Feb.

Fair use /copyright question: are there any differences for fair use / copyright between linking to a publically-available video (youtube/vimeo) and embedding it? thank you RA ---

Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Robin. Do others in the [@may20-cohort](https://forum.rebus.community/groups/may20-cohort) have questions around fair-use or licensing that you’d like to discuss at our next check-in? While we can have a general discussion around fair use and that four main factors around it, the conversation will be more useful for you if we can examine specific issues.
