WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.849 A:middle L:90%
so welcome to Virginia Tech's Open Education Week

2
00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:08.900 A:middle L:90%
. This is our first faculty focused event. Um

3
00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:12.490 A:middle L:90%
, students are also welcome professor of future professors as

4
00:00:12.490 --> 00:00:16.329 A:middle L:90%
well. And I wanted to before we get started

5
00:00:16.329 --> 00:00:19.320 A:middle L:90%
, just go through our schedule, uh, and

6
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.329 A:middle L:90%
tell you about a few things. Um, that

7
00:00:21.329 --> 00:00:24.489 A:middle L:90%
you should know. So this session is rather long

8
00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:28.410 A:middle L:90%
. We have a couple hours together if you choose

9
00:00:28.420 --> 00:00:31.230 A:middle L:90%
to stay that long. Um and we hope that

10
00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:33.640 A:middle L:90%
folks, some folks will come in part way through

11
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.130 A:middle L:90%
. But I've divided this section this session into two

12
00:00:37.130 --> 00:00:41.100 A:middle L:90%
parts, the first being about finding and sharing openly

13
00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:44.560 A:middle L:90%
licensed resources and the second being about offering and adapting

14
00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:48.100 A:middle L:90%
. We realized that people are in many different places

15
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:52.229 A:middle L:90%
regarding whether you're trying to, uh, share things

16
00:00:52.229 --> 00:00:54.509 A:middle L:90%
that you already created. If you're trying to find

17
00:00:54.509 --> 00:00:57.939 A:middle L:90%
things that already exist, if you are authoring or

18
00:00:57.939 --> 00:01:03.859 A:middle L:90%
you're trying to adapt something that that is already available

19
00:01:03.859 --> 00:01:08.109 A:middle L:90%
to you. So we will do essentially a lightning

20
00:01:08.109 --> 00:01:12.480 A:middle L:90%
round of demos. This is designed to be very

21
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:17.390 A:middle L:90%
helpful for people who are exploring lots of different platforms

22
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.049 A:middle L:90%
. That's what we've heard from our faculty is tell

23
00:01:19.049 --> 00:01:23.379 A:middle L:90%
us where to put things um, how can we

24
00:01:23.379 --> 00:01:25.439 A:middle L:90%
share them? What are some tools that are available

25
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.019 A:middle L:90%
to us? The first question that we we want

26
00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:34.290 A:middle L:90%
to talk about. So why share? Why not

27
00:01:34.299 --> 00:01:38.090 A:middle L:90%
do something else? Why not work with somebody else

28
00:01:38.090 --> 00:01:41.709 A:middle L:90%
who can put our concept, your content online or

29
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.150 A:middle L:90%
in a book format or in some other formats?

30
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.019 A:middle L:90%
Well, there are lots of reasons. Part of

31
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.450 A:middle L:90%
what we do with educators is we share with students

32
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.370 A:middle L:90%
. Sharing really improves student access. It improves student

33
00:01:57.370 --> 00:02:00.890 A:middle L:90%
success. Um, it reduces student that if you

34
00:02:00.890 --> 00:02:07.180 A:middle L:90%
are at a four year institution, your students 28%

35
00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:08.719 A:middle L:90%
of your students are using financial aid to pay for

36
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.979 A:middle L:90%
their textbooks and learning resources. If you are at

37
00:02:12.990 --> 00:02:16.960 A:middle L:90%
a community college, 50% of your students are using

38
00:02:17.539 --> 00:02:22.740 A:middle L:90%
financial aid to pay for learning materials. I was

39
00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:25.330 A:middle L:90%
asked yesterday why the disparity? Why, Why?

40
00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:29.849 A:middle L:90%
Because four year education is so much more expensive wires

41
00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:32.159 A:middle L:90%
. So many more students are community colleges borrowing money

42
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:37.210 A:middle L:90%
for learning resources. And this really speaks to sort

43
00:02:37.210 --> 00:02:40.710 A:middle L:90%
of the financial divide in our country and to students

44
00:02:40.710 --> 00:02:46.189 A:middle L:90%
who, um, really chance, um, can't

45
00:02:46.189 --> 00:02:50.889 A:middle L:90%
afford oftentimes, these types of resources that are assigned

46
00:02:50.889 --> 00:02:54.150 A:middle L:90%
to them. So why is it that students can't

47
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.340 A:middle L:90%
afford? Well, if you were in university in

48
00:02:59.349 --> 00:03:00.460 A:middle L:90%
the mid to late nineties, as I was,

49
00:03:01.139 --> 00:03:05.280 A:middle L:90%
you'll see that the cost of college textbooks, which

50
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.099 A:middle L:90%
is the upper blue line, is much lower than

51
00:03:07.099 --> 00:03:09.750 A:middle L:90%
it is now. So if you are a student

52
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.490 A:middle L:90%
or you have a niece or a nephew or a

53
00:03:14.490 --> 00:03:16.810 A:middle L:90%
child or grandchild in college right now, you probably

54
00:03:16.810 --> 00:03:20.259 A:middle L:90%
already know this. But for those who don't,

55
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.689 A:middle L:90%
the cost of learning resources is really skyrocketed. And

56
00:03:23.689 --> 00:03:27.580 A:middle L:90%
this is faster than the cost of medical care,

57
00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:30.449 A:middle L:90%
the cost of new home prices as well as the

58
00:03:30.460 --> 00:03:34.009 A:middle L:90%
rate of inflation currently about four times the rate of

59
00:03:34.009 --> 00:03:38.050 A:middle L:90%
inflation. And our students are smart. They're responding

60
00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:42.889 A:middle L:90%
to this, and even though we say okay,

61
00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:45.550 A:middle L:90%
they should. They should probably be spending five or

62
00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:50.240 A:middle L:90%
$600 a semester. Some research that I did last

63
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.060 A:middle L:90%
spring indicated they were spending about$325 a semester.

64
00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:00.689 A:middle L:90%
Students are doing a lot of things to avoid paying

65
00:04:00.689 --> 00:04:03.830 A:middle L:90%
full price, yes, but students are paying a

66
00:04:03.830 --> 00:04:08.699 A:middle L:90%
whole lot less than that because they are choosing to

67
00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:14.199 A:middle L:90%
go without their sharing their signing copies online, uh

68
00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:16.139 A:middle L:90%
, doing all sorts of other things to really make

69
00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:19.110 A:middle L:90%
it work. But I guess the long and short

70
00:04:19.110 --> 00:04:25.540 A:middle L:90%
of it is that education really is about our investment

71
00:04:25.550 --> 00:04:29.019 A:middle L:90%
in our students in the future. Our students today

72
00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:31.009 A:middle L:90%
for the future. It's about sharing. Um,

73
00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:34.399 A:middle L:90%
it's about what the long run is in the scholars

74
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:40.899 A:middle L:90%
and the citizens that we are building. So with

75
00:04:40.899 --> 00:04:45.060 A:middle L:90%
that in mind, um, we tend to use

76
00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:48.649 A:middle L:90%
creative Commons licenses to tell people we want you to

77
00:04:48.660 --> 00:04:51.240 A:middle L:90%
be able to copy this. We want you to

78
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.089 A:middle L:90%
be able to revise it. We want you to

79
00:04:54.100 --> 00:04:58.300 A:middle L:90%
be able to reuse it with attribution and we don't

80
00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:00.439 A:middle L:90%
want to charge you anything for it. Um,

81
00:05:00.449 --> 00:05:03.050 A:middle L:90%
this is really the ethos of this movement. So

82
00:05:03.050 --> 00:05:04.939 A:middle L:90%
as we go on, we're going to look at

83
00:05:04.939 --> 00:05:08.930 A:middle L:90%
some platforms. But first, any questions, anything

84
00:05:08.930 --> 00:05:14.459 A:middle L:90%
that you would like clarified, um and right,

85
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.759 A:middle L:90%
So we're going to look at seven different platforms.

86
00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:25.730 A:middle L:90%
This matrix describes roughly 12 to 15 other platforms that

87
00:05:25.730 --> 00:05:27.660 A:middle L:90%
might be of interest to you. They all do

88
00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:30.699 A:middle L:90%
very different things on them. You can some of

89
00:05:30.709 --> 00:05:32.300 A:middle L:90%
them you can build, you can adapt some of

90
00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:34.850 A:middle L:90%
them are places where you can host materials. Others

91
00:05:34.850 --> 00:05:39.350 A:middle L:90%
are places where you can upload length and you can

92
00:05:39.350 --> 00:05:45.279 A:middle L:90%
share things that you've created. Most of them are

93
00:05:45.290 --> 00:05:46.649 A:middle L:90%
things you don't have to install. Although there are

94
00:05:46.649 --> 00:05:49.899 A:middle L:90%
a few and all of them are things that are

95
00:05:49.910 --> 00:05:53.459 A:middle L:90%
free. They don't have any cost to you.

96
00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:57.660 A:middle L:90%
So take a look at this. Um, perhaps

97
00:05:57.660 --> 00:06:00.009 A:middle L:90%
a little bit later on. And but we will

98
00:06:00.009 --> 00:06:02.839 A:middle L:90%
be looking at some of these. So I'm going

99
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.870 A:middle L:90%
to invite my colleague Jenny Pennebaker, who is our

100
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.240 A:middle L:90%
health and life sciences coordinator here at the university library

101
00:06:11.250 --> 00:06:15.009 A:middle L:90%
. Jenny is going to demo for us a couple

102
00:06:15.009 --> 00:06:16.360 A:middle L:90%
of different sites. And so welcome, Jenny.

103
00:06:17.339 --> 00:06:24.079 A:middle L:90%
And good morning. Um, all right, if

104
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.269 A:middle L:90%
I keep clearing my throat ng seem to have allergies

105
00:06:28.269 --> 00:06:31.980 A:middle L:90%
all the time. But at any rate, um

106
00:06:31.990 --> 00:06:38.160 A:middle L:90%
, I enjoy creating different materials for the workshops and

107
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.180 A:middle L:90%
sessions that I work with others on and, um

108
00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:44.870 A:middle L:90%
, provide myself. And when those things seem to

109
00:06:44.870 --> 00:06:46.040 A:middle L:90%
work, well, then I like to share them

110
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.209 A:middle L:90%
because I know I've benefited from, um think that

111
00:06:50.209 --> 00:06:54.389 A:middle L:90%
others have shared with me. So a couple of

112
00:06:54.389 --> 00:06:57.040 A:middle L:90%
ways I've done that is so these are just a

113
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.089 A:middle L:90%
couple examples. Um, one is through our institutional

114
00:07:00.089 --> 00:07:03.170 A:middle L:90%
repository, which is the tech works. Have any

115
00:07:03.170 --> 00:07:05.300 A:middle L:90%
of you, Um how did you have to look

116
00:07:05.300 --> 00:07:10.439 A:middle L:90%
around the tech works before? Like a couple.

117
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.740 A:middle L:90%
Okay, so, um, you can Google v

118
00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:15.949 A:middle L:90%
. Tech works, and you should get to it

119
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.480 A:middle L:90%
. You can get to it that way. Um

120
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:20.740 A:middle L:90%
, or you can go to V. Tech works

121
00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:25.529 A:middle L:90%
that lived at VT dot e d u. So

122
00:07:25.529 --> 00:07:29.329 A:middle L:90%
a great thing about you check works and in general

123
00:07:29.329 --> 00:07:31.800 A:middle L:90%
, institutional repositories, So places within, um,

124
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:36.120 A:middle L:90%
usually a higher education institution or non profit organisation,

125
00:07:36.129 --> 00:07:40.839 A:middle L:90%
Um, is that these are places where people in

126
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.750 A:middle L:90%
those communities can, um, host information so they

127
00:07:44.750 --> 00:07:46.319 A:middle L:90%
can upload information, and they can include a description

128
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.899 A:middle L:90%
to it. And then repositories like this include,

129
00:07:49.910 --> 00:07:54.860 A:middle L:90%
um permanent u r l So that you know,

130
00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:56.540 A:middle L:90%
the link is not going to break later on,

131
00:07:56.540 --> 00:08:00.560 A:middle L:90%
and they're committed to preserving the materials that you deposit

132
00:08:00.569 --> 00:08:03.329 A:middle L:90%
there. So you can put something in there and

133
00:08:03.329 --> 00:08:05.269 A:middle L:90%
know that someone is looking after it. They're not

134
00:08:05.269 --> 00:08:09.370 A:middle L:90%
just gonna go away in five years and say,

135
00:08:09.379 --> 00:08:11.800 A:middle L:90%
Well, it's no longer there. Um, so

136
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.589 A:middle L:90%
these are benefits The other thing is that institutional repositories

137
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.560 A:middle L:90%
, by and large, are open to public access

138
00:08:20.139 --> 00:08:22.589 A:middle L:90%
. So this is something you want to share with

139
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.550 A:middle L:90%
anyone. This is a good place to put it

140
00:08:24.139 --> 00:08:28.000 A:middle L:90%
. Um, there's no paywall barrier, no account

141
00:08:28.009 --> 00:08:30.149 A:middle L:90%
. You need to sign in to be able to

142
00:08:30.149 --> 00:08:33.190 A:middle L:90%
get to the materials and view them. Um,

143
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.669 A:middle L:90%
and then it also lets you add whatever kind of

144
00:08:35.669 --> 00:08:41.090 A:middle L:90%
license or copyright, um, statement that you have

145
00:08:41.090 --> 00:08:43.429 A:middle L:90%
the rights to add and would like to do so

146
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.980 A:middle L:90%
. So it is. It does support creative Commons

147
00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:48.690 A:middle L:90%
licenses, Um, which I need to just mentioned

148
00:08:48.690 --> 00:08:52.460 A:middle L:90%
and which are commonly used for open educational materials.

149
00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:54.090 A:middle L:90%
Um, since it already has that built in,

150
00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:58.759 A:middle L:90%
uh, it's something that people can see within here

151
00:08:58.539 --> 00:09:03.409 A:middle L:90%
. So as an example, um, I know

152
00:09:03.409 --> 00:09:07.049 A:middle L:90%
that one thing in here is on, um,

153
00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:11.730 A:middle L:90%
an open access activity for a graduate. Um,

154
00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:18.340 A:middle L:90%
psychology course. So, um, I played around

155
00:09:18.340 --> 00:09:20.669 A:middle L:90%
with some different ways of sharing things. Uh,

156
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.450 A:middle L:90%
this is probably one of the more documented examples.

157
00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:26.269 A:middle L:90%
Um, sometimes I might share things and just include

158
00:09:26.269 --> 00:09:30.110 A:middle L:90%
a brief description. Um, in this case,

159
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.330 A:middle L:90%
uh, I was trying this out with a colleague

160
00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:35.799 A:middle L:90%
. Leslie Matthews, who's at the art and Architecture

161
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.409 A:middle L:90%
Library, and we were experimenting with Okay, what

162
00:09:37.409 --> 00:09:39.360 A:middle L:90%
would you know? Really? Let someone take this

163
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.070 A:middle L:90%
and have all the information they could need, um

164
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.460 A:middle L:90%
, to know how it was presented, what context

165
00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:48.129 A:middle L:90%
that was in and all that, so Oh,

166
00:09:48.129 --> 00:09:52.639 A:middle L:90%
yeah, yeah. Thank you. I forgot to

167
00:09:52.649 --> 00:09:56.419 A:middle L:90%
that. It's kind of that better. Okay,

168
00:09:56.429 --> 00:10:01.639 A:middle L:90%
um, so in this case, we were,

169
00:10:01.649 --> 00:10:05.820 A:middle L:90%
um, we wanted to provide both accessible, um

170
00:10:05.830 --> 00:10:07.350 A:middle L:90%
, formats. So that's why you'll see something that

171
00:10:07.350 --> 00:10:11.129 A:middle L:90%
looks like there's double there. Are there in,

172
00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:13.870 A:middle L:90%
um, we included everything as a pdf or text

173
00:10:13.870 --> 00:10:18.659 A:middle L:90%
format. Um, depending so that it would be

174
00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:20.480 A:middle L:90%
more, um, except people would be able to

175
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.870 A:middle L:90%
open it regardless of whether they happen to have Microsoft

176
00:10:22.870 --> 00:10:26.120 A:middle L:90%
office or, you know, regardless of their operating

177
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.340 A:middle L:90%
system, most people can use PDS. Um,

178
00:10:30.340 --> 00:10:33.059 A:middle L:90%
and then we did include the original documents in word

179
00:10:33.070 --> 00:10:35.220 A:middle L:90%
so that if someone did have that, they could

180
00:10:35.230 --> 00:10:37.450 A:middle L:90%
access the original files to edit them. Um,

181
00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:41.139 A:middle L:90%
which makes it easier for editing since pdf, you

182
00:10:41.139 --> 00:10:43.259 A:middle L:90%
know, can be a challenge that way. And

183
00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:48.399 A:middle L:90%
then we included, um, a general, uh

184
00:10:48.409 --> 00:10:50.230 A:middle L:90%
, description. So I'm saying we because We both

185
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.970 A:middle L:90%
, uh, put together this sort of template.

186
00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:56.600 A:middle L:90%
Um, Leslie is not on here because her example

187
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.370 A:middle L:90%
is a different one. So, um, I

188
00:10:58.370 --> 00:11:01.679 A:middle L:90%
will try to dig that up and send it to

189
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.169 A:middle L:90%
Anita to include later on in, um, the

190
00:11:05.169 --> 00:11:09.950 A:middle L:90%
links for this presentation. But, um, so

191
00:11:09.950 --> 00:11:13.769 A:middle L:90%
this we included a read me document that basically tells

192
00:11:13.779 --> 00:11:16.179 A:middle L:90%
, um, would tell the person looking at this

193
00:11:16.190 --> 00:11:20.679 A:middle L:90%
who our audience was at the time what my time

194
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.250 A:middle L:90%
frame was when I taught this class, um,

195
00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:28.649 A:middle L:90%
possible learning objectives that could be accomplished with these materials

196
00:11:28.659 --> 00:11:31.889 A:middle L:90%
and what would be included, that kind of thing

197
00:11:31.899 --> 00:11:35.960 A:middle L:90%
. And then the materials are all here. So

198
00:11:35.970 --> 00:11:39.330 A:middle L:90%
the next benefit of this, um oh, wait

199
00:11:39.340 --> 00:11:43.159 A:middle L:90%
and so right. You've got the license down here

200
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.830 A:middle L:90%
that shows how you can use it. So this

201
00:11:45.830 --> 00:11:48.860 A:middle L:90%
is a CC by license. Anyone can take this

202
00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:52.149 A:middle L:90%
change it entirely, do whatever they want with it

203
00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:54.820 A:middle L:90%
. Um, as long as it is attributed,

204
00:11:54.830 --> 00:12:01.269 A:middle L:90%
um, via that life. So, um,

205
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.879 A:middle L:90%
to connect. Is it okay to go to the

206
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.470 A:middle L:90%
next one? You're okay. So to connect that

207
00:12:05.470 --> 00:12:09.960 A:middle L:90%
with this next resource, um, or next platform

208
00:12:09.340 --> 00:12:11.460 A:middle L:90%
. Do you have on that hand out that,

209
00:12:11.470 --> 00:12:13.350 A:middle L:90%
um, I need to give out. And I

210
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.450 A:middle L:90%
meant to bring up here both of these. I

211
00:12:16.450 --> 00:12:22.330 A:middle L:90%
think, um um, you have the v Tech

212
00:12:22.330 --> 00:12:26.789 A:middle L:90%
boards down here showing some of this advantages and then

213
00:12:26.789 --> 00:12:30.940 A:middle L:90%
a little higher up. You have merlot showing some

214
00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:33.559 A:middle L:90%
of the disadvantages here. One thing it's not noted

215
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.590 A:middle L:90%
that you can build adapt. You kind of can

216
00:12:37.590 --> 00:12:41.200 A:middle L:90%
build content there. It just as a not as

217
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.610 A:middle L:90%
flexible as one might like it to be. So

218
00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:45.710 A:middle L:90%
it's not like a strong point for that, but

219
00:12:45.710 --> 00:12:48.690 A:middle L:90%
there's a little bit of options there. But,

220
00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:52.279 A:middle L:90%
um, I'm mentioning this now as a direct connection

221
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.539 A:middle L:90%
to the Tech works, because merlot is one of

222
00:12:54.539 --> 00:12:58.279 A:middle L:90%
the first places that was one of the first platform

223
00:12:58.289 --> 00:13:01.360 A:middle L:90%
that was developed to share open educational material. Um

224
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.799 A:middle L:90%
, and it's developed over time. Um, they

225
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.169 A:middle L:90%
have a lot of things they've put into it,

226
00:13:09.179 --> 00:13:11.710 A:middle L:90%
um, including getting people to peer review materials.

227
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.529 A:middle L:90%
Um, there's a place where people can just give

228
00:13:15.529 --> 00:13:18.399 A:middle L:90%
a customer review or, like, you know,

229
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.519 A:middle L:90%
user review. So there's also that, but they

230
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.250 A:middle L:90%
do have people signed up to give full reviews as

231
00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:28.769 A:middle L:90%
editors and then in connection with the tech works,

232
00:13:28.779 --> 00:13:33.590 A:middle L:90%
the way more low works best is just to directly

233
00:13:33.590 --> 00:13:37.309 A:middle L:90%
link to things. So it's not a hosting platform

234
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.190 A:middle L:90%
. You won't put actual file on this platform.

235
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.159 A:middle L:90%
So what you want is to have your information hosted

236
00:13:43.169 --> 00:13:46.269 A:middle L:90%
somewhere. And then if you're gonna list it in

237
00:13:46.269 --> 00:13:48.679 A:middle L:90%
merlot, um, which is great to do.

238
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.210 A:middle L:90%
You can submit material here. Then, um,

239
00:13:52.210 --> 00:13:54.789 A:middle L:90%
you want to be able to link to it.

240
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.259 A:middle L:90%
And that's where having it, for example, in

241
00:13:56.259 --> 00:14:00.740 A:middle L:90%
an institutional repository. That's a great connection. You

242
00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:01.909 A:middle L:90%
know, that link is going to be stable.

243
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.570 A:middle L:90%
You know that if anyone gets to that location,

244
00:14:05.570 --> 00:14:07.389 A:middle L:90%
they'll also know from the license or copyright how to

245
00:14:07.389 --> 00:14:11.799 A:middle L:90%
use it, and they'll have a description there as

246
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.370 A:middle L:90%
well. So, Lindy, log in here real

247
00:14:13.370 --> 00:14:18.149 A:middle L:90%
quick and just show it. That looks like please

248
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.429 A:middle L:90%
, I actually no, I don't believe you do

249
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.399 A:middle L:90%
. Um, so you can just search here any

250
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.220 A:middle L:90%
, and this one isn't listening here. I'm just

251
00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:31.529 A:middle L:90%
searching psychology because that's the first thing I'm thinking of

252
00:14:31.529 --> 00:14:33.070 A:middle L:90%
it, but yeah, anyone can search merlot,

253
00:14:33.190 --> 00:14:37.409 A:middle L:90%
totally open to search. Um, but to actually

254
00:14:37.409 --> 00:14:39.960 A:middle L:90%
submit things, then then you would want to plug

255
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:41.730 A:middle L:90%
in and you would want to create an account.

256
00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:43.379 A:middle L:90%
And the nice thing about merlot is that they do

257
00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:48.190 A:middle L:90%
track your contributions. You'll see how minimal my contributions

258
00:14:48.190 --> 00:14:50.889 A:middle L:90%
have been to the community. Aside from searching it

259
00:14:50.889 --> 00:14:54.149 A:middle L:90%
and using things I find there, Um, but

260
00:14:56.740 --> 00:15:00.330 A:middle L:90%
you can see at any time from my merlot.

261
00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:01.299 A:middle L:90%
So once you log in, you get you know

262
00:15:01.299 --> 00:15:05.159 A:middle L:90%
, your own custom and a view to this.

263
00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:09.889 A:middle L:90%
Um and then you've got your profile and right here

264
00:15:09.889 --> 00:15:13.659 A:middle L:90%
, my merlot submission. So if you sign up

265
00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:16.190 A:middle L:90%
with them to become a peer reviewer, for example

266
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.759 A:middle L:90%
, it would track the peer reviews you submit.

267
00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:20.059 A:middle L:90%
Um, so that would be something you could you

268
00:15:20.059 --> 00:15:22.960 A:middle L:90%
know, For example, include a service, if

269
00:15:22.970 --> 00:15:26.460 A:middle L:90%
that is something that you keep track of for your

270
00:15:26.940 --> 00:15:31.460 A:middle L:90%
the things you do towards your position or community.

271
00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:33.799 A:middle L:90%
Um, and then it also attracts things you submit

272
00:15:33.809 --> 00:15:37.139 A:middle L:90%
. And so this example I'll go to this example

273
00:15:37.139 --> 00:15:39.360 A:middle L:90%
here, you can submit things here that aren't yours

274
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.409 A:middle L:90%
. So if you know of a really great open

275
00:15:43.409 --> 00:15:46.700 A:middle L:90%
educational resource and you don't think it's listed somewhere where

276
00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:48.850 A:middle L:90%
people find it or it's just not listed and were

277
00:15:48.850 --> 00:15:50.539 A:middle L:90%
low, you can submit it. So this is

278
00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:54.929 A:middle L:90%
not something I created. I just submitted this because

279
00:15:54.929 --> 00:15:58.429 A:middle L:90%
I think it's a really great resource. And in

280
00:15:58.429 --> 00:16:00.070 A:middle L:90%
doing so, I was able to list, you

281
00:16:00.070 --> 00:16:03.720 A:middle L:90%
know, information about it. All the authors that

282
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.120 A:middle L:90%
showed I listed their license that they stayed on that

283
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.860 A:middle L:90%
site. And then, um, it links out

284
00:16:11.340 --> 00:16:15.350 A:middle L:90%
to the material separately so you can see more low

285
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.899 A:middle L:90%
. Um, kind of fulfills the people looking for

286
00:16:19.909 --> 00:16:22.899 A:middle L:90%
this kind of thing. It's a great platform for

287
00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:26.840 A:middle L:90%
that. People know it for open educational resources and

288
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.759 A:middle L:90%
has a lot of ways to sort of validate those

289
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:36.450 A:middle L:90%
resources or and create collections for yourself or for others

290
00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:40.919 A:middle L:90%
. And, um, it goes right along with

291
00:16:40.929 --> 00:16:45.080 A:middle L:90%
the creative Commons, licensing that a lot of people

292
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.820 A:middle L:90%
use. Um, and there's a great place to

293
00:16:47.820 --> 00:16:52.230 A:middle L:90%
list things that you host elsewhere. So does it

294
00:16:52.230 --> 00:16:56.769 A:middle L:90%
be, um, to the top things that I've

295
00:16:56.769 --> 00:17:00.149 A:middle L:90%
used? And if you have any questions about that

296
00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:07.430 A:middle L:90%
, and that's probably like the speediest to wherever Through

297
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.569 A:middle L:90%
to resources. But I hope those give you a

298
00:17:10.569 --> 00:17:12.769 A:middle L:90%
couple of things to try out. Thank you.

299
00:17:14.140 --> 00:17:18.180 A:middle L:90%
Mhm. Thank you, Jenny. Okay, so

300
00:17:18.190 --> 00:17:21.519 A:middle L:90%
I'm going to demo two more this is the lightning

301
00:17:21.529 --> 00:17:26.049 A:middle L:90%
lightning round. We're trying to keep it interesting and

302
00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:29.059 A:middle L:90%
, um, show you lots of things that you

303
00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:34.440 A:middle L:90%
can use. So our next our next two are

304
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:38.710 A:middle L:90%
the open textbook library. The open textbook library lives

305
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.519 A:middle L:90%
at the University of Minnesota. It is a project

306
00:17:42.529 --> 00:17:48.160 A:middle L:90%
of the open textbook network and the Center for Open

307
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:55.619 A:middle L:90%
Education at University of Minnesota. It contains over 350

308
00:17:55.619 --> 00:17:59.529 A:middle L:90%
openly licensed books. Um, these are fully downloadable

309
00:17:59.529 --> 00:18:04.529 A:middle L:90%
books in many different subject areas, ranging from accounting

310
00:18:04.529 --> 00:18:11.000 A:middle L:90%
to art to finance to engineering. Each of the

311
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:17.319 A:middle L:90%
books has, uh, information about their author has

312
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:22.240 A:middle L:90%
information about how to get the book information about the

313
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:25.299 A:middle L:90%
license, and some of them, many of them

314
00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:29.720 A:middle L:90%
actually have reviews. So the open textbook network,

315
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:33.210 A:middle L:90%
who is a supporter of the open textbook library commissions

316
00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:37.849 A:middle L:90%
faculty to review, um, books to, um

317
00:18:37.859 --> 00:18:41.990 A:middle L:90%
ascertain what kind of value they have. So these

318
00:18:41.990 --> 00:18:47.299 A:middle L:90%
are all faculty reviews. They're fairly straightforward in terms

319
00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:49.609 A:middle L:90%
of the kind of content that is analyzed here.

320
00:18:49.609 --> 00:18:55.029 A:middle L:90%
So looking at, uh, errors relevance. Um

321
00:18:55.029 --> 00:18:57.099 A:middle L:90%
, how easy is this material to use? What's

322
00:18:57.099 --> 00:19:00.609 A:middle L:90%
the organization like the consistent? Is it clear?

323
00:19:00.619 --> 00:19:03.910 A:middle L:90%
Um, can I divide it into parts if I

324
00:19:03.910 --> 00:19:07.059 A:middle L:90%
need to. How comprehensive is is a particular work

325
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.859 A:middle L:90%
. So for each work you'll see a red button

326
00:19:10.869 --> 00:19:11.819 A:middle L:90%
, it might say, PdF, it might say

327
00:19:11.819 --> 00:19:17.750 A:middle L:90%
HTML. It might say Moby or press books or

328
00:19:17.750 --> 00:19:19.940 A:middle L:90%
lots of, um, lots of different things you

329
00:19:19.940 --> 00:19:22.950 A:middle L:90%
can took on the Pdf. And again, this

330
00:19:22.950 --> 00:19:26.329 A:middle L:90%
is a link. Um, so you are going

331
00:19:26.329 --> 00:19:29.599 A:middle L:90%
to the home for this book wherever the person has

332
00:19:29.609 --> 00:19:34.269 A:middle L:90%
put it, and you can an introduction to financial

333
00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:38.160 A:middle L:90%
accounting because of the license that is on this book

334
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.670 A:middle L:90%
. And I apologize if I'm making you dizzy.

335
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.769 A:middle L:90%
Um, because of the license that's on this book

336
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:51.339 A:middle L:90%
, you are able to take this work, put

337
00:19:51.339 --> 00:19:52.089 A:middle L:90%
it on your own site. You don't have to

338
00:19:52.089 --> 00:19:56.150 A:middle L:90%
worry about potential broken links. You can adapt it

339
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:57.710 A:middle L:90%
. Uh, that's a little easier said than done

340
00:19:57.710 --> 00:20:00.960 A:middle L:90%
, but we'll talk a little bit more about that

341
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.559 A:middle L:90%
, and you can make it fit with your course

342
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.460 A:middle L:90%
learning objectives, um, or use portions of it

343
00:20:07.470 --> 00:20:11.700 A:middle L:90%
that that might fit well for you. So if

344
00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:15.329 A:middle L:90%
you're wondering, how do I find the source material

345
00:20:15.339 --> 00:20:18.420 A:middle L:90%
for this item? You would click on the publisher

346
00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:19.900 A:middle L:90%
link. This is going to take you to the

347
00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:26.490 A:middle L:90%
place where, um there's more information about who created

348
00:20:26.490 --> 00:20:30.420 A:middle L:90%
this book. Um, so we could look for

349
00:20:30.430 --> 00:20:33.380 A:middle L:90%
on this particular site, we can look for supplements

350
00:20:33.390 --> 00:20:37.670 A:middle L:90%
. We can look for online assessments. We can

351
00:20:37.670 --> 00:20:41.349 A:middle L:90%
see other books that this particular group has created.

352
00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:47.519 A:middle L:90%
Uh, all of these books come from faculty authors

353
00:20:47.529 --> 00:20:49.089 A:middle L:90%
. They come from many different institutions. They come

354
00:20:49.089 --> 00:20:55.460 A:middle L:90%
from professional societies that create these kinds of works,

355
00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:00.269 A:middle L:90%
and they are varied in terms of their their purpose

356
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:07.559 A:middle L:90%
there, um, length there, almost almost everything

357
00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:11.569 A:middle L:90%
. Uh, so we have several materials that are

358
00:21:11.569 --> 00:21:14.819 A:middle L:90%
in here, and we think this is a really

359
00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:18.420 A:middle L:90%
exciting and a growing collection. So if you end

360
00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:22.759 A:middle L:90%
up offering something that is fully downloadable that has an

361
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.019 A:middle L:90%
open license on it that, uh, fit with

362
00:21:26.029 --> 00:21:30.390 A:middle L:90%
the scope of this particular project, you can submit

363
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:34.160 A:middle L:90%
your book or link to your book, or you

364
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:38.019 A:middle L:90%
could submit a, um, some information as Jenny

365
00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:41.940 A:middle L:90%
mentioned for somebody else's work. So I do this

366
00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:45.880 A:middle L:90%
regularly when I find items that people have. The

367
00:21:45.890 --> 00:21:48.579 A:middle L:90%
faculty have created that look like they would be of

368
00:21:48.589 --> 00:21:52.460 A:middle L:90%
great value to a larger community, So it's really

369
00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:53.549 A:middle L:90%
a defining tool. It's not a place to author

370
00:21:53.940 --> 00:21:57.470 A:middle L:90%
. Um, okay, so if you are wondering

371
00:21:57.470 --> 00:22:00.779 A:middle L:90%
and we'll talk more about this a bit later,

372
00:22:00.779 --> 00:22:03.559 A:middle L:90%
but I just want to point out, if you're

373
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.079 A:middle L:90%
saying, Hey, I would really like to modify

374
00:22:07.089 --> 00:22:11.589 A:middle L:90%
something that's in here. I'm clicking on the link

375
00:22:11.589 --> 00:22:15.220 A:middle L:90%
for Center for Open Education in the middle of my

376
00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:26.720 A:middle L:90%
screen and what I'm going to look for is a

377
00:22:26.730 --> 00:22:30.119 A:middle L:90%
u R L for several of the guides that are

378
00:22:30.130 --> 00:22:37.380 A:middle L:90%
available through the open textbook network. So these are

379
00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:41.220 A:middle L:90%
actually available to anyone they happen to be under the

380
00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:45.200 A:middle L:90%
membership link. Member Resources. There are three guides

381
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.119 A:middle L:90%
Right now. There's a brand new guide offering open

382
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.650 A:middle L:90%
textbooks guide. There's a guy to research on open

383
00:22:52.650 --> 00:22:55.960 A:middle L:90%
educational resources adoption. How do you measure impact?

384
00:22:56.339 --> 00:22:57.569 A:middle L:90%
How do you make a case for doing more of

385
00:22:57.569 --> 00:23:00.049 A:middle L:90%
this work if it's something that you need to make

386
00:23:00.049 --> 00:23:03.329 A:middle L:90%
a case for? Uh and then there's a third

387
00:23:03.329 --> 00:23:04.059 A:middle L:90%
guide, and I was involved with this one,

388
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:07.400 A:middle L:90%
uh, called modifying an open checkbook. This is

389
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:15.170 A:middle L:90%
really a a tool for navigating technical complexity. When

390
00:23:15.170 --> 00:23:18.690 A:middle L:90%
you end up with a PdF, how on earth

391
00:23:18.690 --> 00:23:21.890 A:middle L:90%
do you edit? Edit it If you're a novice

392
00:23:21.890 --> 00:23:23.109 A:middle L:90%
, you're not a publisher. What do you need

393
00:23:23.109 --> 00:23:26.930 A:middle L:90%
to think about before you actually start? Uh,

394
00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:29.920 A:middle L:90%
should you do this? How much work is it

395
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.259 A:middle L:90%
going to be? Um, what kind of technology

396
00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:34.289 A:middle L:90%
do you need to to you know, to do

397
00:23:34.289 --> 00:23:38.150 A:middle L:90%
this? So these are three guides that are that

398
00:23:38.150 --> 00:23:41.579 A:middle L:90%
I've I've found to be very helpful. So this

399
00:23:41.579 --> 00:23:47.930 A:middle L:90%
is the open textbook library again from University of Minnesota

400
00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:51.150 A:middle L:90%
. Okay, uh, and then the I'm going

401
00:23:51.150 --> 00:23:53.779 A:middle L:90%
to demo a second one, and this is and

402
00:23:53.779 --> 00:23:57.250 A:middle L:90%
we are common. We are Commons is appearing in

403
00:23:57.250 --> 00:24:00.339 A:middle L:90%
the first half of our program as well as the

404
00:24:00.349 --> 00:24:03.470 A:middle L:90%
second half. Oh, your comments is a place

405
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:08.349 A:middle L:90%
to both link materials that are that you have created

406
00:24:08.349 --> 00:24:11.400 A:middle L:90%
or that others have created that have an open license

407
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.410 A:middle L:90%
on them. And it is a place to build

408
00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:18.900 A:middle L:90%
. And I've asked Lisa P treatise and many Boland

409
00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:23.670 A:middle L:90%
from the who, uh, are deeply involved with

410
00:24:23.670 --> 00:24:26.430 A:middle L:90%
this project to speak at 11 o'clock there. One

411
00:24:26.430 --> 00:24:30.069 A:middle L:90%
is in California, so it's very early. Um

412
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:32.680 A:middle L:90%
, but I thought I would do a really quick

413
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:34.099 A:middle L:90%
demo. So those of you who are just interested

414
00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:40.690 A:middle L:90%
in finance chair would have a bird's eye view of

415
00:24:40.700 --> 00:24:44.730 A:middle L:90%
this resource. Uh, so in the right hand

416
00:24:44.730 --> 00:24:47.670 A:middle L:90%
corner, you see, discover, create connect.

417
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:51.099 A:middle L:90%
This platform is meant to be social. It is

418
00:24:51.109 --> 00:24:55.509 A:middle L:90%
meant to connect people and to connect people to creating

419
00:24:55.509 --> 00:25:00.740 A:middle L:90%
and adapting and revising resources. If we just want

420
00:25:00.740 --> 00:25:07.109 A:middle L:90%
to discover we might look for our favorite are the

421
00:25:07.109 --> 00:25:11.460 A:middle L:90%
topic that we're Do I and I am okay,

422
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.450 A:middle L:90%
a topic that we are trying to find. So

423
00:25:15.450 --> 00:25:19.339 A:middle L:90%
thermodynamics is the topic I've chosen, and I'm going

424
00:25:19.339 --> 00:25:25.650 A:middle L:90%
to select my educational level as, uh, college

425
00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:30.779 A:middle L:90%
and upper division. One thing to know about this

426
00:25:30.009 --> 00:25:33.910 A:middle L:90%
resource is that it's not just books. It is

427
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.779 A:middle L:90%
far, far beyond books, and there are things

428
00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:41.400 A:middle L:90%
in here that are maybe free but that don't have

429
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.109 A:middle L:90%
an open license. So be aware of of your

430
00:25:45.109 --> 00:25:48.849 A:middle L:90%
license when you are looking for when you were finding

431
00:25:48.849 --> 00:25:51.819 A:middle L:90%
things. So I've done a search on thermodynamics.

432
00:25:51.829 --> 00:25:56.259 A:middle L:90%
I have limited to upper upper division in college and

433
00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:59.269 A:middle L:90%
I have 20 different results. I can view these

434
00:25:59.269 --> 00:26:02.160 A:middle L:90%
in a number of different ways. Um, so

435
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:06.650 A:middle L:90%
it can be you in a much, much smaller

436
00:26:06.650 --> 00:26:11.059 A:middle L:90%
list. Uh, and I can go back to

437
00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:15.789 A:middle L:90%
the picture of you if I want to see what

438
00:26:15.789 --> 00:26:21.960 A:middle L:90%
this resources. So let's take a look at,

439
00:26:22.740 --> 00:26:27.660 A:middle L:90%
um this third one at statistical mechanics, this page

440
00:26:27.660 --> 00:26:33.190 A:middle L:90%
is an entry from MIT. It, uh,

441
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.049 A:middle L:90%
is in the subject area of statistics and probability,

442
00:26:36.049 --> 00:26:37.599 A:middle L:90%
and I'm gonna just click here and look at the

443
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.190 A:middle L:90%
resource. So this is pulling me basically into a

444
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:45.460 A:middle L:90%
frame. I'm still at the OU our common sight

445
00:26:45.470 --> 00:26:49.130 A:middle L:90%
. But I am viewing the material here, which

446
00:26:49.130 --> 00:26:55.180 A:middle L:90%
happens to be from MIT Open courseware project. And

447
00:26:55.180 --> 00:27:00.779 A:middle L:90%
I can look around and see various features that this

448
00:27:00.789 --> 00:27:03.569 A:middle L:90%
site offers so we can look at the syllabus for

449
00:27:03.569 --> 00:27:07.359 A:middle L:90%
this course I can look at lecture notes. Um

450
00:27:07.369 --> 00:27:11.410 A:middle L:90%
, m I t open courseware has provided problem sets

451
00:27:11.420 --> 00:27:17.849 A:middle L:90%
and some assignments and as well as project assignments.

452
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:19.960 A:middle L:90%
And if I really want to, I can download

453
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:23.109 A:middle L:90%
the course materials. I am not sure what format

454
00:27:23.109 --> 00:27:26.940 A:middle L:90%
this is in. If you want to talk about

455
00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.930 A:middle L:90%
that later, I'm happy to talk with you about

456
00:27:27.930 --> 00:27:32.349 A:middle L:90%
it. So this is one thing that you might

457
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:36.380 A:middle L:90%
find, and we are comments. If this isn't

458
00:27:36.380 --> 00:27:41.130 A:middle L:90%
quite what you're looking for, we'll go back to

459
00:27:41.130 --> 00:27:48.490 A:middle L:90%
our our list of materials and we can find out

460
00:27:48.490 --> 00:27:53.079 A:middle L:90%
what else what else is here. Thermodynamics is a

461
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:57.269 A:middle L:90%
book created by a now Virginia Tech faculty member.

462
00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:03.509 A:middle L:90%
This book lives in on a library server, and

463
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:10.349 A:middle L:90%
it was created at through the Through Oklahoma University of

464
00:28:10.349 --> 00:28:17.619 A:middle L:90%
Oklahoma's open education initiative several years ago. So there

465
00:28:17.619 --> 00:28:22.869 A:middle L:90%
are many different ways of displaying content, and depending

466
00:28:22.869 --> 00:28:25.890 A:middle L:90%
on the platform, it might not be fully downloadable

467
00:28:25.890 --> 00:28:26.470 A:middle L:90%
. It might be something that you have to read

468
00:28:26.470 --> 00:28:30.640 A:middle L:90%
online. Um, but the surf, some basic

469
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:36.980 A:middle L:90%
ways of of finding content. So if you find

470
00:28:36.990 --> 00:28:40.710 A:middle L:90%
if there are content items that you want to share

471
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:45.000 A:middle L:90%
, you would need to register with your contact information

472
00:28:45.009 --> 00:28:48.809 A:middle L:90%
. There's no cost. Um, you need to

473
00:28:48.809 --> 00:29:00.700 A:middle L:90%
log in and you can see that, um,

474
00:29:00.710 --> 00:29:03.769 A:middle L:90%
I have a profile here. It will tell me

475
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:07.940 A:middle L:90%
, um what group? Simon, how many resources

476
00:29:07.950 --> 00:29:11.779 A:middle L:90%
I've uploaded? Um, I can edit my profile

477
00:29:11.779 --> 00:29:17.690 A:middle L:90%
. I can add my picture. Um and it

478
00:29:17.690 --> 00:29:19.759 A:middle L:90%
tells me all of the things that I've contributed.

479
00:29:21.339 --> 00:29:25.049 A:middle L:90%
I can also create some groups. So I have

480
00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:33.029 A:middle L:90%
added, But I have created a group for a

481
00:29:33.029 --> 00:29:40.559 A:middle L:90%
book that colleagues in the Pamplin College of Business um

482
00:29:41.740 --> 00:29:44.859 A:middle L:90%
, worked on our open textbook fundamentals of business.

483
00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:48.740 A:middle L:90%
We get regular inquiries from people asking, Do you

484
00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:51.140 A:middle L:90%
have a test bank? Do you have slides?

485
00:29:51.150 --> 00:29:52.349 A:middle L:90%
Do you have? Do you have? Do you

486
00:29:52.349 --> 00:29:55.500 A:middle L:90%
have? And, uh, so I very recently

487
00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:57.740 A:middle L:90%
created this group so that we can share those things

488
00:29:57.740 --> 00:30:00.430 A:middle L:90%
and we can ask other people who are using the

489
00:30:00.430 --> 00:30:04.569 A:middle L:90%
book to also share those resources. So, um

490
00:30:04.579 --> 00:30:08.099 A:middle L:90%
okay. Any questions about these two before we move

491
00:30:08.099 --> 00:30:12.240 A:middle L:90%
to our next speaker? Thank you for being on

492
00:30:12.250 --> 00:30:15.789 A:middle L:90%
our field trip. Okay. Our next speaker is

493
00:30:15.789 --> 00:30:19.009 A:middle L:90%
my colleague, Kayla McNabb. Kayla is the teaching

494
00:30:19.009 --> 00:30:22.059 A:middle L:90%
and learning engagement consultant here at the university libraries.

495
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.400 A:middle L:90%
She's an extraordinary teacher. Uh, she also is

496
00:30:26.410 --> 00:30:30.710 A:middle L:90%
a doctoral student in instructional design. So Kayla is

497
00:30:30.710 --> 00:30:33.450 A:middle L:90%
going to tell us about the Odyssey learning object repository

498
00:30:37.539 --> 00:30:45.029 A:middle L:90%
Monita. Hello, everyone. Um, we are

499
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.299 A:middle L:90%
This is kind of a sneak preview. The honesty

500
00:30:48.299 --> 00:30:52.079 A:middle L:90%
learning project is kind of going to be rolled out

501
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:53.890 A:middle L:90%
in full force in the fall, so there are

502
00:30:53.890 --> 00:30:56.380 A:middle L:90%
not quite as many things in the repository right now

503
00:30:56.380 --> 00:30:59.720 A:middle L:90%
. There will be whenever we're in full watch mode

504
00:30:59.730 --> 00:31:00.339 A:middle L:90%
, but it's been a really good place for us

505
00:31:00.339 --> 00:31:03.559 A:middle L:90%
to start sharing it and letting people know that it's

506
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.579 A:middle L:90%
something that's coming, that we really hope it's gonna

507
00:31:06.579 --> 00:31:10.769 A:middle L:90%
be a good resource for our campus and anyone doing

508
00:31:10.769 --> 00:31:15.190 A:middle L:90%
teaching anywhere in the world. Um, so for

509
00:31:15.190 --> 00:31:17.000 A:middle L:90%
this first kind of part, I'm going to focus

510
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:22.359 A:middle L:90%
on the finding and adapting content part of the program

511
00:31:22.140 --> 00:31:26.660 A:middle L:90%
, and let's click it and get right into it

512
00:31:29.140 --> 00:31:33.430 A:middle L:90%
. So this is our homepage? Um, we

513
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:34.259 A:middle L:90%
like I said, we're gonna launch in the fall

514
00:31:34.259 --> 00:31:37.839 A:middle L:90%
of 2017. Um, and this is kind of

515
00:31:37.849 --> 00:31:41.269 A:middle L:90%
beta mode. It's a repository for learning objects that

516
00:31:41.269 --> 00:31:44.690 A:middle L:90%
have been created and is maintained by the university library

517
00:31:44.690 --> 00:31:48.339 A:middle L:90%
here at Virginia Tech. So that is, if

518
00:31:48.339 --> 00:31:51.970 A:middle L:90%
we go to our about page very simple. It's

519
00:31:51.970 --> 00:31:56.650 A:middle L:90%
for these sort of dynamic and growing resources from Virginia

520
00:31:56.650 --> 00:31:57.789 A:middle L:90%
Tech. Um, right now, a lot of

521
00:31:57.789 --> 00:32:00.119 A:middle L:90%
the things that have been created have been created for

522
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.480 A:middle L:90%
specific courses, Um, through the library. Um

523
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:07.880 A:middle L:90%
, but that will expand as our repository expands as

524
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.549 A:middle L:90%
well. I'll show you a couple of different ways

525
00:32:10.549 --> 00:32:13.539 A:middle L:90%
that you can access things and find things that will

526
00:32:13.539 --> 00:32:15.650 A:middle L:90%
be useful for your classes. So the first thing

527
00:32:15.650 --> 00:32:21.029 A:middle L:90%
is right now browsing is easy to do because there

528
00:32:21.029 --> 00:32:23.220 A:middle L:90%
are so few objects. Um, right. So

529
00:32:23.220 --> 00:32:27.859 A:middle L:90%
you can browse based on the objects themselves or collections

530
00:32:27.859 --> 00:32:30.019 A:middle L:90%
that they're put into. Um, so for all

531
00:32:30.019 --> 00:32:31.769 A:middle L:90%
of the learning objects, Sorry, I'm not a

532
00:32:31.769 --> 00:32:34.599 A:middle L:90%
Mac person. I'm trying to scroll the wrong land

533
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:37.380 A:middle L:90%
here. Um, you can see that there is

534
00:32:37.380 --> 00:32:40.309 A:middle L:90%
a title and then a brief subject for all of

535
00:32:40.309 --> 00:32:45.079 A:middle L:90%
the items and the same sort of thing in collections

536
00:32:45.089 --> 00:32:46.660 A:middle L:90%
, if we create a set of learning objects for

537
00:32:46.660 --> 00:32:50.289 A:middle L:90%
a specific course, Um, for example, we

538
00:32:50.289 --> 00:32:52.839 A:middle L:90%
worked with the School of Public and International Affairs and

539
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:53.930 A:middle L:90%
made several learning objects for one of the courses over

540
00:32:53.930 --> 00:32:58.049 A:middle L:90%
there. Um, those are all in this one

541
00:32:58.049 --> 00:33:00.859 A:middle L:90%
collection. Um, we do a lot of teaching

542
00:33:00.859 --> 00:33:04.240 A:middle L:90%
for English 11 06 So they also have a resource

543
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:08.410 A:middle L:90%
collection already. Um, as we move forward,

544
00:33:08.420 --> 00:33:13.029 A:middle L:90%
it will be much easier to search things using our

545
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.680 A:middle L:90%
search function. So if you click there, then

546
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:20.359 A:middle L:90%
you get the advanced search, and you can just

547
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.529 A:middle L:90%
type in a keyword if you know something that you're

548
00:33:22.529 --> 00:33:23.450 A:middle L:90%
interested in for your class, or you can narrow

549
00:33:23.450 --> 00:33:27.359 A:middle L:90%
these down. Um, by any of them.

550
00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:29.990 A:middle L:90%
We use the Dublin core metadata. If anyone's familiar

551
00:33:29.990 --> 00:33:32.119 A:middle L:90%
with, um, doing that sort of, uh

552
00:33:32.130 --> 00:33:35.869 A:middle L:90%
, metadata collection, you can use any of those

553
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:42.680 A:middle L:90%
or, um, different limiters on your search.

554
00:33:42.690 --> 00:33:45.769 A:middle L:90%
So I'm going to do a search for keywords.

555
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:51.640 A:middle L:90%
I'm not going to put in any of the other

556
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:54.869 A:middle L:90%
options, So we've got several videos that we've already

557
00:33:54.869 --> 00:34:00.109 A:middle L:90%
made that are about keywords, and I'll look at

558
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:05.980 A:middle L:90%
Look at this developing keywords video. So the way

559
00:34:05.980 --> 00:34:07.640 A:middle L:90%
that this is set up, you can see kind

560
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:09.639 A:middle L:90%
of the preview of the first frame of the video

561
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:12.039 A:middle L:90%
. If it's a video, you can see a

562
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.260 A:middle L:90%
preview of the pdf. If it's something like that

563
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:15.369 A:middle L:90%
, and then below that, you can get all

564
00:34:15.369 --> 00:34:21.010 A:middle L:90%
of the information where you can access a direct link

565
00:34:21.010 --> 00:34:22.500 A:middle L:90%
to the MP four file. So if you just

566
00:34:22.500 --> 00:34:24.460 A:middle L:90%
want that video file and you want to embed it

567
00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:27.889 A:middle L:90%
in something else, that's fine. Or if you

568
00:34:27.889 --> 00:34:29.369 A:middle L:90%
want to link to it in YouTube, if you

569
00:34:29.369 --> 00:34:30.769 A:middle L:90%
don't want to host that video yourself, all that

570
00:34:30.769 --> 00:34:34.840 A:middle L:90%
information is here. Also, any rights that the

571
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:37.710 A:middle L:90%
creators have, um, copyrights and that sort of

572
00:34:37.710 --> 00:34:39.139 A:middle L:90%
thing that the creators have limited, Um this is

573
00:34:39.150 --> 00:34:40.969 A:middle L:90%
C. C. By and for the most part

574
00:34:40.969 --> 00:34:44.139 A:middle L:90%
, that is our default. We want things that

575
00:34:44.139 --> 00:34:46.300 A:middle L:90%
are in this repository to be as open as possible

576
00:34:46.309 --> 00:34:49.639 A:middle L:90%
. Uh, some of the things that are created

577
00:34:49.650 --> 00:34:52.019 A:middle L:90%
, um, kind of in conjunction with faculty and

578
00:34:52.019 --> 00:34:55.000 A:middle L:90%
other departments. We negotiate that with those faculty members

579
00:34:55.010 --> 00:34:59.809 A:middle L:90%
, so they're providing the subject matter expertise for a

580
00:34:59.809 --> 00:35:02.289 A:middle L:90%
learning object. Then we want them to be comfortable

581
00:35:02.289 --> 00:35:05.800 A:middle L:90%
with how openly it's going to be shared. Um

582
00:35:05.809 --> 00:35:07.909 A:middle L:90%
, so it may be that they want it,

583
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:09.699 A:middle L:90%
uh, there to be no derivatives, or they

584
00:35:09.699 --> 00:35:14.659 A:middle L:90%
may want it to be, um, not commercial

585
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:15.590 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah, that sort of thing. But at

586
00:35:15.590 --> 00:35:20.289 A:middle L:90%
the very least, um, we would like just

587
00:35:20.289 --> 00:35:22.070 A:middle L:90%
some sort of attribution. But we really want this

588
00:35:22.070 --> 00:35:25.420 A:middle L:90%
to be as accessible to people within and outside the

589
00:35:25.420 --> 00:35:34.650 A:middle L:90%
university as possible. Yeah. So one thing that

590
00:35:34.650 --> 00:35:36.650 A:middle L:90%
that kind of connects to that. I also wanted

591
00:35:36.650 --> 00:35:38.820 A:middle L:90%
to mention, um, while I have attention,

592
00:35:38.829 --> 00:35:44.469 A:middle L:90%
uh, is we are creating things for this learning

593
00:35:44.469 --> 00:35:47.820 A:middle L:90%
object repository in conjunction with those faculty members outside of

594
00:35:47.820 --> 00:35:51.940 A:middle L:90%
the library. Often, um, some with inside

595
00:35:51.949 --> 00:35:52.940 A:middle L:90%
within the library, but also a lot outside the

596
00:35:52.940 --> 00:35:55.989 A:middle L:90%
library and to do that. We have the,

597
00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:00.570 A:middle L:90%
um, learning design studio. So that is a

598
00:36:00.570 --> 00:36:05.940 A:middle L:90%
space where faculty member can faculty members, graduate students

599
00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:08.949 A:middle L:90%
staff can create learning objects that could then be shared

600
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:12.059 A:middle L:90%
on a lot of these platforms that we're talking about

601
00:36:12.059 --> 00:36:15.289 A:middle L:90%
today, Um, and made as openly available as

602
00:36:15.289 --> 00:36:22.400 A:middle L:90%
you are interested in, um, show that you

603
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:24.409 A:middle L:90%
are. Oh, just as a point of reference

604
00:36:24.420 --> 00:36:28.349 A:middle L:90%
. Learning design studio is also being launched full scale

605
00:36:28.730 --> 00:36:30.650 A:middle L:90%
in the fall and is in kind of beta mode

606
00:36:30.650 --> 00:36:32.880 A:middle L:90%
right now. And we've worked with several faculty members

607
00:36:32.889 --> 00:36:36.329 A:middle L:90%
. Um, but it is a place within the

608
00:36:36.329 --> 00:36:39.079 A:middle L:90%
university libraries that we are dedicated to making these sorts

609
00:36:39.090 --> 00:36:44.090 A:middle L:90%
of learning objects and learning experiences that can be shared

610
00:36:44.099 --> 00:36:47.349 A:middle L:90%
, um, with faculty, staff, students and

611
00:36:47.349 --> 00:36:55.039 A:middle L:90%
beyond. Go back to that. There. Any

612
00:36:55.630 --> 00:37:00.559 A:middle L:90%
questions coming? Uh huh. All right. Thank

613
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.989 A:middle L:90%
you very much. What's helpful to you with regard

614
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:07.210 A:middle L:90%
to the platform? Are these new? Are these

615
00:37:07.219 --> 00:37:10.659 A:middle L:90%
things that you've seen before? Yes. Sanders.

616
00:37:12.730 --> 00:37:15.389 A:middle L:90%
Right. Good. Okay. So the comment for

617
00:37:15.389 --> 00:37:20.929 A:middle L:90%
those of you on online was that having access to

618
00:37:20.940 --> 00:37:23.340 A:middle L:90%
learning objects that are shared by colleagues and by others

619
00:37:23.349 --> 00:37:30.820 A:middle L:90%
is really valuable. The question is, would Is

620
00:37:30.829 --> 00:37:32.679 A:middle L:90%
there a template If someone wants to customize something that's

621
00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:36.639 A:middle L:90%
in the learning object repository? Um, Kayla,

622
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:37.300 A:middle L:90%
do you want to answer that? And I'm going

623
00:37:37.300 --> 00:37:39.760 A:middle L:90%
to run and get mix for you. Well,

624
00:37:39.769 --> 00:37:44.599 A:middle L:90%
uh, currently in, uh, the honesty learning

625
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:47.590 A:middle L:90%
project sites. We have those. We don't have

626
00:37:47.590 --> 00:37:51.219 A:middle L:90%
the component files for things like videos. Yet,

627
00:37:51.230 --> 00:37:54.010 A:middle L:90%
um, we would like to offer things kind of

628
00:37:54.010 --> 00:37:57.150 A:middle L:90%
in whatever. The most basic format is that we

629
00:37:57.150 --> 00:37:59.500 A:middle L:90%
can so that they're easy to edit, uh,

630
00:37:59.510 --> 00:38:01.329 A:middle L:90%
for things that are more text based. We try

631
00:38:01.329 --> 00:38:06.989 A:middle L:90%
to offer both PDFs and word document or text file

632
00:38:06.989 --> 00:38:08.400 A:middle L:90%
or something that's going to be easier for them to

633
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:14.539 A:middle L:90%
edit. But we don't have kind of strict templates

634
00:38:14.539 --> 00:38:16.829 A:middle L:90%
yet. Um, we would like to offer some

635
00:38:17.420 --> 00:38:22.539 A:middle L:90%
templates for things even just, um, kind of

636
00:38:22.219 --> 00:38:27.920 A:middle L:90%
best practices for presentation layouts that can kind of convey

637
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:30.349 A:middle L:90%
well in video, things like that, Um,

638
00:38:30.349 --> 00:38:31.980 A:middle L:90%
and we're working to put together a rubric so that

639
00:38:31.980 --> 00:38:36.210 A:middle L:90%
people would be able to work from that rubric as

640
00:38:36.210 --> 00:38:37.820 A:middle L:90%
they create their own objects or adapt things that are

641
00:38:37.829 --> 00:38:40.489 A:middle L:90%
currently in the repository. Or they find that other

642
00:38:40.500 --> 00:38:46.739 A:middle L:90%
repositories or places online. Yeah. Yes, Yeah

643
00:38:47.219 --> 00:38:52.030 A:middle L:90%
, Mhm. We are in the process of getting

644
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:54.449 A:middle L:90%
, um, kind of older videos, captions.

645
00:38:54.449 --> 00:38:58.159 A:middle L:90%
All of the videos that we've made recently should have

646
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.949 A:middle L:90%
captioning. Um, we make all of them from

647
00:39:00.949 --> 00:39:02.920 A:middle L:90%
scripts, so we already have the text. That's

648
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:15.340 A:middle L:90%
really good. You know what? We have done

649
00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:17.909 A:middle L:90%
? The issue That, uh, it's my understanding

650
00:39:17.909 --> 00:39:22.000 A:middle L:90%
we ran into before my time, um was that

651
00:39:22.010 --> 00:39:27.150 A:middle L:90%
some of those repositories were more difficult to access.

652
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:30.650 A:middle L:90%
Then they really wanted, um, or more difficult

653
00:39:30.650 --> 00:39:34.690 A:middle L:90%
to search, um, or to add things to

654
00:39:34.690 --> 00:39:37.880 A:middle L:90%
and have them the, um, kind of as

655
00:39:37.889 --> 00:39:40.780 A:middle L:90%
contained as they can be in the repository that we've

656
00:39:40.780 --> 00:39:45.900 A:middle L:90%
created. Um And I mean, our repository is

657
00:39:45.900 --> 00:39:47.730 A:middle L:90%
built on a mecca. So it's, uh,

658
00:39:47.739 --> 00:39:51.010 A:middle L:90%
kind of The framework is very similar to a lot

659
00:39:51.010 --> 00:39:53.119 A:middle L:90%
of repositories for a lot of other purposes. Um

660
00:39:53.130 --> 00:39:57.710 A:middle L:90%
, not typically learning objects. Um, but to

661
00:39:57.710 --> 00:40:00.389 A:middle L:90%
be able to have a place where we could kind

662
00:40:00.389 --> 00:40:01.869 A:middle L:90%
of create this community and it be kind of an

663
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:06.340 A:middle L:90%
output for the Odyssey Learning project, which is a

664
00:40:06.349 --> 00:40:07.989 A:middle L:90%
bit of a broader idea, is really why we

665
00:40:07.989 --> 00:40:10.579 A:middle L:90%
wanted to have a kind of a forward facing component

666
00:40:10.579 --> 00:40:14.170 A:middle L:90%
of that, uh And that grew out of the

667
00:40:14.179 --> 00:40:17.090 A:middle L:90%
needs assessment that, um, the Learning Services Group

668
00:40:17.090 --> 00:40:20.179 A:middle L:90%
, now the teaching and learning engagement group in the

669
00:40:20.179 --> 00:40:22.380 A:middle L:90%
library performed over the last year and a half.

670
00:40:22.380 --> 00:40:24.750 A:middle L:90%
Two years, Um, where we ran into a

671
00:40:24.750 --> 00:40:30.139 A:middle L:90%
lot of these questions that people either wanted to find

672
00:40:30.150 --> 00:40:31.769 A:middle L:90%
learning objects or wanted to find things like videos.

673
00:40:31.780 --> 00:40:36.369 A:middle L:90%
And we're having trouble. Or they wanted to share

674
00:40:36.369 --> 00:40:38.130 A:middle L:90%
things that they had created, and they didn't know

675
00:40:38.130 --> 00:40:43.409 A:middle L:90%
how or where to do it. There's also somewhat

676
00:40:43.409 --> 00:40:47.789 A:middle L:90%
of a difference between a repository for archival works that

677
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:52.530 A:middle L:90%
cannot be changed, and those that are intended to

678
00:40:52.539 --> 00:40:58.000 A:middle L:90%
be changed as well as maybe, are more interactive

679
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:00.610 A:middle L:90%
than something like a PdF. So we can't upload

680
00:41:00.619 --> 00:41:04.039 A:middle L:90%
, execute herbal files to be tech work. I

681
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:06.019 A:middle L:90%
mean, we could, but you can't use them

682
00:41:06.409 --> 00:41:07.719 A:middle L:90%
. So there are some limitations of some of the

683
00:41:07.730 --> 00:41:12.230 A:middle L:90%
laughter that we haven't know how scale our handle,

684
00:41:12.710 --> 00:41:15.699 A:middle L:90%
execute a bles, or if you can manipulate things

685
00:41:15.699 --> 00:41:19.449 A:middle L:90%
within, use it as a hosting platform. But

686
00:41:19.449 --> 00:41:22.309 A:middle L:90%
there, you know there's some differences there to write

687
00:41:22.309 --> 00:41:27.369 A:middle L:90%
what she's hearing about. Yeah, there, there

688
00:41:27.460 --> 00:41:30.489 A:middle L:90%
, there thing. Uh, the question is,

689
00:41:30.489 --> 00:41:32.809 A:middle L:90%
what's the difference between a learning object and a resource

690
00:41:32.809 --> 00:41:39.030 A:middle L:90%
. Everything a learning object is specifically designed for learning

691
00:41:40.210 --> 00:41:43.960 A:middle L:90%
. Uh, it's designed for classroom use or for

692
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:47.920 A:middle L:90%
teaching and learning. It may have a pedagogical framework

693
00:41:47.929 --> 00:41:52.050 A:middle L:90%
in it. Besides, uh, something that is

694
00:41:52.050 --> 00:41:55.070 A:middle L:90%
a flat file that's meant for reading or for dissemination

695
00:41:55.070 --> 00:42:00.380 A:middle L:90%
of finding a good question, there really isn't a

696
00:42:00.380 --> 00:42:04.380 A:middle L:90%
different. It's in the purposefulness of how something is

697
00:42:04.389 --> 00:42:07.159 A:middle L:90%
built. I would say that is actually a component

698
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:10.260 A:middle L:90%
of my research for my dissertation and its hotly contested

699
00:42:10.269 --> 00:42:14.969 A:middle L:90%
Um, but I see those as kind of a

700
00:42:14.969 --> 00:42:17.070 A:middle L:90%
Venn diagram. Learning objects are things, um,

701
00:42:17.070 --> 00:42:22.420 A:middle L:90%
and they are resources, often particularly open educational resources

702
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:25.190 A:middle L:90%
can be learning objects right and multiple learning objects,

703
00:42:25.190 --> 00:42:28.619 A:middle L:90%
or what you put together to make a learning experience

704
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.230 A:middle L:90%
. So learning experience being a module in a class

705
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:36.179 A:middle L:90%
. So those learning objects, maybe a worksheet and

706
00:42:36.179 --> 00:42:40.019 A:middle L:90%
a discussion board, uh, kind of framework and

707
00:42:40.030 --> 00:42:45.289 A:middle L:90%
video and an interactive module that you made through articulate

708
00:42:45.289 --> 00:42:47.280 A:middle L:90%
storyline or something like that. So those would be

709
00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:52.039 A:middle L:90%
the individual learning objects that you're putting together to create

710
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:54.039 A:middle L:90%
some sort of experience is going to execute your learning

711
00:42:54.039 --> 00:43:01.690 A:middle L:90%
outcomes. Where did you learn the learner is the

712
00:43:01.690 --> 00:43:07.610 A:middle L:90%
one experiencing. A lot of that is, um

713
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:15.340 A:middle L:90%
, doing parts hopefully actively engaging as they read or

714
00:43:15.349 --> 00:43:17.920 A:middle L:90%
watch, Um, but definitely doing in the assessment

715
00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:21.949 A:middle L:90%
portions when you have an interactive quiz or something like

716
00:43:21.949 --> 00:43:23.480 A:middle L:90%
that, or if you have some sort of framework

717
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:27.670 A:middle L:90%
document or worksheet that they're going to be using as

718
00:43:27.670 --> 00:43:30.130 A:middle L:90%
they go through the experience or in response to the

719
00:43:30.130 --> 00:43:37.380 A:middle L:90%
experience you hit on a really good point that learning

720
00:43:37.380 --> 00:43:42.460 A:middle L:90%
is not just a consuming activity of of consuming content

721
00:43:42.469 --> 00:43:46.199 A:middle L:90%
, of processing content that learning can and should involve

722
00:43:46.210 --> 00:43:51.329 A:middle L:90%
creating and building. We will talk a little bit

723
00:43:51.329 --> 00:43:53.260 A:middle L:90%
about how, UM, some of that is happening

724
00:43:53.260 --> 00:43:57.239 A:middle L:90%
and adopt and adapt. And that's really the beauty

725
00:43:57.239 --> 00:44:00.829 A:middle L:90%
of open educational resources and Creative Commons works is that

726
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:06.019 A:middle L:90%
you could actually have. You are students could improve

727
00:44:06.019 --> 00:44:10.849 A:middle L:90%
them, could mix them and and remix them into

728
00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:14.800 A:middle L:90%
new and different things. Things with the different application

729
00:44:14.809 --> 00:44:17.090 A:middle L:90%
. We've seen that with some faculty who are using

730
00:44:17.090 --> 00:44:22.059 A:middle L:90%
one of the the platforms over leaf to have their

731
00:44:22.059 --> 00:44:24.920 A:middle L:90%
students build textbooks built, not textbooks, build books

732
00:44:25.289 --> 00:44:30.269 A:middle L:90%
as part of their assessments. As part of their

733
00:44:30.269 --> 00:44:36.769 A:middle L:90%
learning process, he essentially demonstrate their knowledge of the

734
00:44:36.780 --> 00:44:39.730 A:middle L:90%
subject material. So which platform would you recommend for

735
00:44:39.730 --> 00:44:44.889 A:middle L:90%
the following youth? So adaptive learning is recommended for

736
00:44:44.900 --> 00:44:49.010 A:middle L:90%
us and in mathematics. We currently have resources for

737
00:44:49.010 --> 00:44:52.659 A:middle L:90%
individual courses, so somebody would point to supplementary text

738
00:44:52.670 --> 00:44:57.380 A:middle L:90%
or to a video to support a technique. But

739
00:44:57.389 --> 00:45:00.369 A:middle L:90%
ideally, we want something for the entire department that

740
00:45:00.369 --> 00:45:02.309 A:middle L:90%
we can just point students to a platform and look

741
00:45:02.309 --> 00:45:07.989 A:middle L:90%
for resources. So you're asking about a collection of

742
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:12.010 A:middle L:90%
activities? Probably. There are a few different ways

743
00:45:12.019 --> 00:45:15.619 A:middle L:90%
to approach that question. One is to look at

744
00:45:15.630 --> 00:45:21.369 A:middle L:90%
something like Carnegie Mellon's online Learning Initiative. So the

745
00:45:21.369 --> 00:45:30.030 A:middle L:90%
open Learning Initiative features many different then different topics.

746
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:34.699 A:middle L:90%
One of our speakers this afternoon we'll talk about her

747
00:45:34.699 --> 00:45:37.269 A:middle L:90%
use of this platform. So we do have a

748
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:45.010 A:middle L:90%
faculty member who is using, um, interesting.

749
00:45:45.989 --> 00:45:49.500 A:middle L:90%
I see no very little mass in here. Um

750
00:45:49.510 --> 00:45:52.710 A:middle L:90%
, she's using this type of system, too.

751
00:45:53.190 --> 00:46:00.679 A:middle L:90%
Enable students, um, to get rapid feedback on

752
00:46:00.690 --> 00:46:04.190 A:middle L:90%
the work that they're doing. So I was expecting

753
00:46:04.190 --> 00:46:06.639 A:middle L:90%
that there would be a lot more mathematics in here

754
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:10.289 A:middle L:90%
than there is logic and proof. Perhaps we could

755
00:46:10.300 --> 00:46:15.519 A:middle L:90%
start there, so this may be something that you

756
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:23.679 A:middle L:90%
would want to look into, and apparently there is

757
00:46:23.690 --> 00:46:27.699 A:middle L:90%
a maintenance fee. Um, this is one thing

758
00:46:27.699 --> 00:46:30.860 A:middle L:90%
to to look at to consider. Okay, Is

759
00:46:30.869 --> 00:46:34.010 A:middle L:90%
are their fees for some of the add on kinds

760
00:46:34.010 --> 00:46:43.239 A:middle L:90%
of things. Yeah, there are a few other

761
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:46.610 A:middle L:90%
things you could do if you are interested. And

762
00:46:46.610 --> 00:46:50.039 A:middle L:90%
I know that Kilos is looking into some of this

763
00:46:50.050 --> 00:46:53.940 A:middle L:90%
kind of work. If you're interested in finding content

764
00:46:53.940 --> 00:46:58.860 A:middle L:90%
that you could put into a platform, using openly

765
00:46:58.860 --> 00:47:01.630 A:middle L:90%
licensed content is definitely something you would want to look

766
00:47:01.630 --> 00:47:07.099 A:middle L:90%
at. So I would start with some of the

767
00:47:07.099 --> 00:47:14.679 A:middle L:90%
more well known mathematics books that are definitely licensed with

768
00:47:14.690 --> 00:47:21.650 A:middle L:90%
Creative Commons License open stacks is is one where they

769
00:47:21.650 --> 00:47:27.519 A:middle L:90%
have many mathematics books at different levels. The content

770
00:47:27.530 --> 00:47:31.039 A:middle L:90%
is electronic. It's in many different formats. It

771
00:47:31.050 --> 00:47:37.869 A:middle L:90%
may be there would definitely be some work in populating

772
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:39.230 A:middle L:90%
system with this kind of content. But in terms

773
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:44.730 A:middle L:90%
of writing or getting permission, you can use whatever

774
00:47:44.730 --> 00:47:49.550 A:middle L:90%
stare as long as you attribute, um and then

775
00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:53.090 A:middle L:90%
thirdly, I would check with your professional societies.

776
00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:58.559 A:middle L:90%
Um, I would check with the American Mathematical Association

777
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:01.760 A:middle L:90%
of check with with the other math associations, both

778
00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:06.119 A:middle L:90%
on the community college level and on a research level

779
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:08.699 A:middle L:90%
to see what kinds of other resources are available.

780
00:48:15.070 --> 00:48:21.030 A:middle L:90%
So and we can talk more offline and I'll take

781
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:22.289 A:middle L:90%
take some time to look for you. Also,

782
00:48:23.469 --> 00:48:29.429 A:middle L:90%
As you know, Khan Academy of Resources may be

783
00:48:29.429 --> 00:48:38.789 A:middle L:90%
a third, and if anyone online wants to offer

784
00:48:39.269 --> 00:48:44.489 A:middle L:90%
suggestions, you're welcome to to jump in and offer

785
00:48:44.500 --> 00:48:52.099 A:middle L:90%
suggestions. So we see a lot of expansion both

786
00:48:52.099 --> 00:48:55.130 A:middle L:90%
in the STEM and arts and Humanities field within Khan

787
00:48:55.130 --> 00:49:00.460 A:middle L:90%
Academy. If you are not familiar with Khan Academy

788
00:49:00.869 --> 00:49:05.880 A:middle L:90%
, what you should know is that there are many

789
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:15.000 A:middle L:90%
kinds of videos. Activities that can be assigned to

790
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:19.130 A:middle L:90%
students or students can do on their own are some

791
00:49:19.130 --> 00:49:23.260 A:middle L:90%
are paste. Some are more of a one time

792
00:49:23.260 --> 00:49:30.090 A:middle L:90%
interaction. But because of the license of these materials

793
00:49:30.099 --> 00:49:31.780 A:middle L:90%
, these are really things you could incorporate into your

794
00:49:31.789 --> 00:49:39.420 A:middle L:90%
person. Yeah, um, beyond that, I'm

795
00:49:39.429 --> 00:49:43.559 A:middle L:90%
stumped at the moment. We need to do a

796
00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:46.289 A:middle L:90%
little bit more looking around. Yeah, so I

797
00:49:46.289 --> 00:49:50.250 A:middle L:90%
see it that we we know where the resources is

798
00:49:50.250 --> 00:49:52.320 A:middle L:90%
that we have bettered that we want to make accessible

799
00:49:52.329 --> 00:49:54.599 A:middle L:90%
, right? So But what is the platform that

800
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:57.570 A:middle L:90%
we presented to the student. So if a student

801
00:49:57.570 --> 00:50:01.130 A:middle L:90%
is doing homework and is struggling to have a specific

802
00:50:01.130 --> 00:50:05.389 A:middle L:90%
site where they can go and look that we support

803
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:08.280 A:middle L:90%
the presentation of and identify okay, this is a

804
00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:09.789 A:middle L:90%
good place to look. How do you want?

805
00:50:09.789 --> 00:50:15.679 A:middle L:90%
Make that uniform? I would I would enter into

806
00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:21.369 A:middle L:90%
a conversation about integration of this content into our learning

807
00:50:21.369 --> 00:50:24.019 A:middle L:90%
management system. Or if you have a platform that

808
00:50:24.019 --> 00:50:28.929 A:middle L:90%
your students are otherwise familiar with in which they could

809
00:50:28.940 --> 00:50:31.900 A:middle L:90%
do this kind of work, there's There are two

810
00:50:31.900 --> 00:50:37.449 A:middle L:90%
different minds regarding how transparent a classroom should be.

811
00:50:37.449 --> 00:50:40.130 A:middle L:90%
And if you hear a open content, how you

812
00:50:40.130 --> 00:50:43.940 A:middle L:90%
should share it with the world or if you should

813
00:50:43.940 --> 00:50:46.130 A:middle L:90%
keep it locked in the learning management system, Um

814
00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:51.179 A:middle L:90%
, that's really a That's a departmental and a fact

815
00:50:51.190 --> 00:50:53.280 A:middle L:90%
decision. Um, there is some value in saying

816
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:57.710 A:middle L:90%
, Hey, I curated this wonderful set of course

817
00:50:57.710 --> 00:51:00.650 A:middle L:90%
materials, and I want to share it, even

818
00:51:00.650 --> 00:51:04.969 A:middle L:90%
if there are references to things that everybody can't get

819
00:51:04.969 --> 00:51:06.960 A:middle L:90%
into. You see the example of the M I

820
00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:09.849 A:middle L:90%
T open course where where you do have links to

821
00:51:09.860 --> 00:51:13.780 A:middle L:90%
buy the sun. Amazon links to things that are

822
00:51:13.780 --> 00:51:16.239 A:middle L:90%
not open but someone can get a general sense of

823
00:51:16.250 --> 00:51:20.940 A:middle L:90%
how the overall courses packaged and the types of materials

824
00:51:20.949 --> 00:51:23.960 A:middle L:90%
that are included in it is that the platform M

825
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:29.860 A:middle L:90%
I t uses? Probably not, But being able

826
00:51:29.860 --> 00:51:31.460 A:middle L:90%
to share that with other people so they can see

827
00:51:31.460 --> 00:51:35.070 A:middle L:90%
. Oh, that's how someone else teaches this concept

828
00:51:35.070 --> 00:51:37.309 A:middle L:90%
. Or that's how the Kurds in the structures These

829
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:44.440 A:middle L:90%
are very valuable. Yeah. Any other questions?

830
00:51:44.449 --> 00:51:46.150 A:middle L:90%
Uh, and if not, let's take a break

831
00:51:46.150 --> 00:51:50.679 A:middle L:90%
and we'll be back at 11. 2, Um

832
00:51:51.159 --> 00:51:53.199 A:middle L:90%
, catch up with our next set of speakers and

833
00:51:53.210 --> 00:51:57.179 A:middle L:90%
folks in the room. Coffee if they wish.

834
00:51:58.559 --> 00:52:00.260 A:middle L:90%
Okay. Thank you. We'll be back at 11

835
00:52:02.550 --> 00:52:06.460 A:middle L:90%
. We are back. We're still recording. You

836
00:52:06.460 --> 00:52:08.730 A:middle L:90%
can tweet to open education week, Um, talk

837
00:52:08.730 --> 00:52:12.269 A:middle L:90%
in the chat, and, uh, we're just

838
00:52:12.269 --> 00:52:15.500 A:middle L:90%
gonna switch the, um the times for over Leaf

839
00:52:15.510 --> 00:52:21.840 A:middle L:90%
vs. We are comments. So as background,

840
00:52:21.849 --> 00:52:24.019 A:middle L:90%
um, have the chart. Um, I would

841
00:52:24.019 --> 00:52:28.019 A:middle L:90%
love to hear your thoughts on any of them.

842
00:52:28.030 --> 00:52:30.050 A:middle L:90%
Any of this. You're welcome to share this as

843
00:52:30.050 --> 00:52:34.889 A:middle L:90%
well. And, um, we'll hear from Ryan

844
00:52:34.889 --> 00:52:37.679 A:middle L:90%
loony now. So Hi, everybody. Um,

845
00:52:37.690 --> 00:52:38.780 A:middle L:90%
as Anita said, I'm Ryan Lenny and the client

846
00:52:38.780 --> 00:52:43.769 A:middle L:90%
services manager with over leaf and my contact info is

847
00:52:43.769 --> 00:52:45.519 A:middle L:90%
on the bottom of this slide, and I'll show

848
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:47.050 A:middle L:90%
it again in case you need to get in touch

849
00:52:47.050 --> 00:52:49.820 A:middle L:90%
with me. And I'm here to tell you about

850
00:52:49.820 --> 00:52:53.679 A:middle L:90%
how to author and adapt using uber leaf look.

851
00:52:54.349 --> 00:52:57.510 A:middle L:90%
So today I'm going to go over. What over

852
00:52:57.510 --> 00:52:59.480 A:middle L:90%
Leaf is for those of you who may not be

853
00:52:59.489 --> 00:53:04.449 A:middle L:90%
familiar with our products and also over sudden latex basic

854
00:53:04.449 --> 00:53:08.079 A:middle L:90%
, since overly helps you use latex, I'll give

855
00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:12.260 A:middle L:90%
a few stats about over leaf at Virginia Tech,

856
00:53:14.250 --> 00:53:19.369 A:middle L:90%
and then I'll transition into a demo of how to

857
00:53:19.380 --> 00:53:22.559 A:middle L:90%
find an upload content that you want to adapt.

858
00:53:22.570 --> 00:53:25.440 A:middle L:90%
Also, how to offer content from scratch on over

859
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:28.420 A:middle L:90%
leaf. And then hopefully we'll have time for a

860
00:53:28.420 --> 00:53:29.880 A:middle L:90%
little bit of Q and A at the end.

861
00:53:32.250 --> 00:53:36.449 A:middle L:90%
So over leaf deals with late check. And for

862
00:53:36.449 --> 00:53:37.750 A:middle L:90%
those of you who are familiar with Logitech, Logitech

863
00:53:37.750 --> 00:53:42.989 A:middle L:90%
allows you to write your document in plain texts with

864
00:53:42.989 --> 00:53:45.670 A:middle L:90%
tags that describe its structure and meaning. So it's

865
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:51.170 A:middle L:90%
not dissimilar to HTML or XML that uses tagging to

866
00:53:51.170 --> 00:53:53.460 A:middle L:90%
tell a program how to deal with that text that's

867
00:53:53.469 --> 00:53:58.820 A:middle L:90%
been written late check processes that text and those commands

868
00:53:58.820 --> 00:54:00.230 A:middle L:90%
to produce the beautifully formatted document, and you can

869
00:54:00.230 --> 00:54:02.829 A:middle L:90%
see you start out with this code on the left

870
00:54:02.829 --> 00:54:06.380 A:middle L:90%
and you end up with these nice itemized lists or

871
00:54:06.380 --> 00:54:07.679 A:middle L:90%
an image or an equation that's over here on the

872
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:15.099 A:middle L:90%
right. Here are just a few tips and tricks

873
00:54:15.099 --> 00:54:17.079 A:middle L:90%
about latex, but commands start with a backslash,

874
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:20.920 A:middle L:90%
and arguments are in currently braces that tell latex how

875
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:23.630 A:middle L:90%
to make that text to behave. And how does

876
00:54:23.630 --> 00:54:25.659 A:middle L:90%
latex do that? Well, Latex uses a lot

877
00:54:25.659 --> 00:54:29.599 A:middle L:90%
of files that talk to each other. There's a

878
00:54:29.599 --> 00:54:31.329 A:middle L:90%
main file. There's a class file and a style

879
00:54:31.329 --> 00:54:34.260 A:middle L:90%
file. There may be image files. There may

880
00:54:34.260 --> 00:54:37.030 A:middle L:90%
be a bibliography, and there may be all kinds

881
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:40.550 A:middle L:90%
of other files. So if you're collaborating on latex

882
00:54:40.559 --> 00:54:44.239 A:middle L:90%
, typically until very recently, the way you did

883
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:46.500 A:middle L:90%
that was everybody had their own version of latex,

884
00:54:46.500 --> 00:54:50.960 A:middle L:90%
which is open source software on their computer, and

885
00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:52.909 A:middle L:90%
it would be downloaded and live on your hard drive

886
00:54:52.909 --> 00:54:57.230 A:middle L:90%
. And you would download files to your hard drive

887
00:54:57.230 --> 00:55:00.469 A:middle L:90%
and your latex would compile those files and, um

888
00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:05.670 A:middle L:90%
, produce your document for you. And, um

889
00:55:05.670 --> 00:55:07.789 A:middle L:90%
, what over Leaf does is it flips that and

890
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:12.190 A:middle L:90%
it um makes one version of that document in the

891
00:55:12.190 --> 00:55:16.360 A:middle L:90%
cloud accessible to all. So that's overly for relief

892
00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:20.909 A:middle L:90%
, allows you to collaborate and edit only tech documents

893
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:24.469 A:middle L:90%
in the cloud without having to install anything locally.

894
00:55:25.340 --> 00:55:29.050 A:middle L:90%
And, um, over. Leaf also does a

895
00:55:29.050 --> 00:55:31.429 A:middle L:90%
few other nice things other than just compiling latex documents

896
00:55:31.429 --> 00:55:34.619 A:middle L:90%
. It also gives you access control so you can

897
00:55:34.619 --> 00:55:37.619 A:middle L:90%
control who can see and edit your projects. There

898
00:55:37.619 --> 00:55:40.449 A:middle L:90%
are some other services that are integrated in UM,

899
00:55:40.449 --> 00:55:45.019 A:middle L:90%
such as reference manager services, um, things like

900
00:55:45.019 --> 00:55:50.179 A:middle L:90%
plot li as well and then version history tracking so

901
00:55:50.190 --> 00:55:52.659 A:middle L:90%
you can see who made what changes, and you

902
00:55:52.659 --> 00:55:55.349 A:middle L:90%
can revert back to previous versions if you need to

903
00:55:59.340 --> 00:56:00.949 A:middle L:90%
, and I'll shoot out to a demo in a

904
00:56:00.949 --> 00:56:02.679 A:middle L:90%
minute. But this is just the teaser of what

905
00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:06.159 A:middle L:90%
you'll see. There's an editor on the left,

906
00:56:06.170 --> 00:56:09.250 A:middle L:90%
and then your pipe set compiled GDF on the right

907
00:56:12.329 --> 00:56:15.630 A:middle L:90%
. Mhm now at Virginia Tech for the people who

908
00:56:15.630 --> 00:56:17.949 A:middle L:90%
are in the room, there are, as of

909
00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:24.030 A:middle L:90%
uh, Sunday, there are 1116 confirmed users collaborating

910
00:56:24.030 --> 00:56:28.579 A:middle L:90%
on almost 7000 projects, and there's an average of

911
00:56:28.590 --> 00:56:32.710 A:middle L:90%
1.5 collaborators per project and as many as 140 collaborators

912
00:56:32.710 --> 00:56:37.849 A:middle L:90%
per project. So that's a That's a fun statistic

913
00:56:37.849 --> 00:56:40.119 A:middle L:90%
that, uh, maximum number of collaborators to watch

914
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:45.429 A:middle L:90%
that wouldn't go up. And if you are a

915
00:56:45.429 --> 00:56:46.739 A:middle L:90%
member of the Virginia Tech community, you do have

916
00:56:46.739 --> 00:56:51.460 A:middle L:90%
access to a free over leaf pro account, and

917
00:56:51.460 --> 00:56:53.320 A:middle L:90%
you can go to this. You are at the

918
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:57.829 A:middle L:90%
top of the screen over leaf dot com slash au

919
00:56:57.840 --> 00:57:00.750 A:middle L:90%
slash v. Tech and you can claim your free

920
00:57:00.750 --> 00:57:05.760 A:middle L:90%
over leaf Pro account by validating your Virginia Tech email

921
00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:12.090 A:middle L:90%
address. So that's a little bit of background about

922
00:57:12.090 --> 00:57:15.519 A:middle L:90%
what over Leaf does. And I'm gonna go into

923
00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:17.909 A:middle L:90%
a live demo now, and what I'm going to

924
00:57:17.909 --> 00:57:21.840 A:middle L:90%
show you is how to, um, find files

925
00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:24.639 A:middle L:90%
and download them, upload those files over leaf and

926
00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:29.269 A:middle L:90%
modify them, or how to locate a suitable template

927
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:32.199 A:middle L:90%
that's already on over leaf and put your own content

928
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:36.820 A:middle L:90%
into that book templates. And then either method that

929
00:57:36.820 --> 00:57:38.809 A:middle L:90%
you choose how to edit and how to share those

930
00:57:38.820 --> 00:57:43.869 A:middle L:90%
documents. Mhm. Good. So let me go

931
00:57:43.869 --> 00:57:45.590 A:middle L:90%
over to a browser here, so I think I

932
00:57:45.590 --> 00:57:50.469 A:middle L:90%
saw this earlier this morning. You did talk about

933
00:57:50.469 --> 00:57:53.710 A:middle L:90%
the open textbook libraries and um yesterday I went to

934
00:57:53.710 --> 00:57:55.760 A:middle L:90%
the open textbooks library, and I found this open

935
00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:59.510 A:middle L:90%
logic project book. Um, and it turns out

936
00:57:59.510 --> 00:58:01.519 A:middle L:90%
that had been made using latex. There's nothing,

937
00:58:01.530 --> 00:58:07.800 A:middle L:90%
uh, magical on that, um, repository that

938
00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:09.269 A:middle L:90%
tells you whether or not it's made in latex.

939
00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:13.130 A:middle L:90%
But usually something like, if you go into the

940
00:58:13.139 --> 00:58:15.400 A:middle L:90%
publisher, it may stay here somewhere in the description

941
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:16.360 A:middle L:90%
. It may say this was built using late check

942
00:58:16.360 --> 00:58:20.650 A:middle L:90%
, and here are source file. So, um

943
00:58:20.659 --> 00:58:22.570 A:middle L:90%
, you can see this one. Uh, it's

944
00:58:22.570 --> 00:58:23.840 A:middle L:90%
open source. You can download the latex code.

945
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:29.440 A:middle L:90%
Yeah. So I'm going to go and find that

946
00:58:29.449 --> 00:58:35.980 A:middle L:90%
latex coat, and it's a lawyer down here.

947
00:58:35.980 --> 00:58:42.809 A:middle L:90%
It's hosted on Get hub, and this is git

948
00:58:42.809 --> 00:58:45.449 A:middle L:90%
hub. And there's this nice green clone or download

949
00:58:45.460 --> 00:58:47.480 A:middle L:90%
button, and I'm gonna go ahead and just download

950
00:58:47.480 --> 00:58:55.340 A:middle L:90%
a sip of that repository. And so I've got

951
00:58:55.340 --> 00:58:59.300 A:middle L:90%
that downloaded, and now I can go to over

952
00:58:59.300 --> 00:59:00.829 A:middle L:90%
Leaf. So, um, just to give you

953
00:59:00.829 --> 00:59:12.019 A:middle L:90%
a quick overview of over leaf, this is what

954
00:59:12.019 --> 00:59:15.659 A:middle L:90%
our homepage looks like. And you can start just

955
00:59:15.659 --> 00:59:16.559 A:middle L:90%
as easily as click and create a new paper.

956
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:19.099 A:middle L:90%
You don't even need to be signed in to do

957
00:59:19.099 --> 00:59:21.489 A:middle L:90%
that. Although if you do want to, um

958
00:59:21.500 --> 00:59:22.780 A:middle L:90%
, save and share your work, it helps to

959
00:59:22.780 --> 00:59:27.880 A:middle L:90%
create an account. And for what we're going to

960
00:59:27.880 --> 00:59:30.900 A:middle L:90%
do now to just upload some existing files, I'm

961
00:59:30.900 --> 00:59:34.019 A:middle L:90%
going to go to my my projects dashboard, and

962
00:59:34.019 --> 00:59:36.690 A:middle L:90%
that's acceptable up at the top of the screen next

963
00:59:36.699 --> 00:59:40.900 A:middle L:90%
to my name. And this shows me all the

964
00:59:40.900 --> 00:59:44.239 A:middle L:90%
projects that I've been working on, um, which

965
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:45.960 A:middle L:90%
are important to us now. But what is important

966
00:59:45.969 --> 00:59:51.030 A:middle L:90%
is this new project button and primarily this upload button

967
00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:52.630 A:middle L:90%
. So I'm gonna click that, and I'm going

968
00:59:52.630 --> 00:59:55.619 A:middle L:90%
to upload the zip that I just downloaded. And

969
00:59:55.619 --> 00:59:59.340 A:middle L:90%
it's very nicely allows me to just drag and drop

970
00:59:59.349 --> 01:00:08.489 A:middle L:90%
. So I'm going to drop that and it imports

971
01:00:08.489 --> 01:00:13.739 A:middle L:90%
those files and it actually unpacks that zip. And

972
01:00:13.750 --> 01:00:15.269 A:middle L:90%
if those files where they need to go and occasionally

973
01:00:15.269 --> 01:00:19.829 A:middle L:90%
there'll be, um, some files that, um

974
01:00:20.710 --> 01:00:23.980 A:middle L:90%
, don't download correctly. But I think that's of

975
01:00:23.980 --> 01:00:28.269 A:middle L:90%
no consequence, really. In this project, you

976
01:00:28.269 --> 01:00:30.380 A:middle L:90%
may find, depending on your source code, that

977
01:00:30.380 --> 01:00:32.659 A:middle L:90%
you may have to do a little bit of cleanup

978
01:00:32.670 --> 01:00:36.630 A:middle L:90%
work, um, in the source or a lot

979
01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:39.219 A:middle L:90%
of clean up pork. Yeah, and if you're

980
01:00:39.219 --> 01:00:42.659 A:middle L:90%
not familiar with late check. It can look a

981
01:00:42.659 --> 01:00:44.469 A:middle L:90%
little bit daunting, because you do. You see

982
01:00:44.469 --> 01:00:46.969 A:middle L:90%
all these tags in here and all this source code

983
01:00:46.980 --> 01:00:50.349 A:middle L:90%
. Ryan. Sorry. Can you expand the view

984
01:00:50.349 --> 01:00:52.769 A:middle L:90%
a little bit, make your screen a little bit

985
01:00:52.769 --> 01:00:55.940 A:middle L:90%
larger? Sure. I have it at full screen

986
01:00:55.940 --> 01:01:00.480 A:middle L:90%
right now. Uh, do like a plus.

987
01:01:00.489 --> 01:01:09.610 A:middle L:90%
Uh, yeah. Thank you. Yeah. How's

988
01:01:09.610 --> 01:01:23.519 A:middle L:90%
that? Is that better? Okay, so here

989
01:01:23.519 --> 01:01:28.019 A:middle L:90%
we have your daunting looking source code, okay?

990
01:01:28.909 --> 01:01:30.590 A:middle L:90%
And you can actually switch over to a rich text

991
01:01:30.590 --> 01:01:34.360 A:middle L:90%
view. This is great if you lot of latex

992
01:01:34.369 --> 01:01:36.829 A:middle L:90%
before or if you're new to using over Leaf.

993
01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:40.590 A:middle L:90%
Um, you can, um, go into this

994
01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:45.019 A:middle L:90%
, uh, source code mo or rich text mode

995
01:01:45.019 --> 01:01:49.059 A:middle L:90%
, and you'll still see some, um, stuff

996
01:01:49.059 --> 01:01:52.340 A:middle L:90%
here start to see things that look a little familiar

997
01:01:52.340 --> 01:01:53.269 A:middle L:90%
. Like, here's that title. So it says

998
01:01:53.280 --> 01:01:57.940 A:middle L:90%
the open logic text and all I need to do

999
01:01:57.949 --> 01:02:00.110 A:middle L:90%
um, here is just start typing in that editor

1000
01:02:07.099 --> 01:02:09.199 A:middle L:90%
and you'll see in just a moment that previous going

1001
01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:15.449 A:middle L:90%
to refresh and it should update my title. It

1002
01:02:15.449 --> 01:02:17.809 A:middle L:90%
is always slowest during a live demo. Okay?

1003
01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:28.070 A:middle L:90%
And you can see over here in our files pain

1004
01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:30.360 A:middle L:90%
that these are all these files that I was talking

1005
01:02:30.360 --> 01:02:34.739 A:middle L:90%
about before that latex concatenate and compiles together to turn

1006
01:02:34.739 --> 01:02:43.110 A:middle L:90%
into, um, this nicely typeset documents So refreshing

1007
01:03:02.500 --> 01:03:06.920 A:middle L:90%
. So while that's refreshing, I'm gonna show you

1008
01:03:06.920 --> 01:03:08.409 A:middle L:90%
what you want to do. Um, if you

1009
01:03:08.420 --> 01:03:13.429 A:middle L:90%
want to just create your own text from scratch rather

1010
01:03:13.429 --> 01:03:17.050 A:middle L:90%
than adapting someone else's work. So in over a

1011
01:03:17.050 --> 01:03:21.519 A:middle L:90%
week we have, um, lots of templates that

1012
01:03:21.519 --> 01:03:25.000 A:middle L:90%
are already built in, um, to the system

1013
01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:30.360 A:middle L:90%
, and they're accessible from this template page on over

1014
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:34.039 A:middle L:90%
leaf and have some popular tags here. Just some

1015
01:03:34.039 --> 01:03:37.219 A:middle L:90%
categories. And there's even one, um, you

1016
01:03:37.219 --> 01:03:40.039 A:middle L:90%
can also search on any tag or key where you

1017
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:44.570 A:middle L:90%
wish to search on as well. They'll fight Mexico

1018
01:03:44.570 --> 01:03:46.079 A:middle L:90%
in books you can see right away. There are

1019
01:03:46.079 --> 01:03:49.929 A:middle L:90%
a few books here. There's quite a few,

1020
01:03:49.929 --> 01:03:52.090 A:middle L:90%
actually. And, um, the two I'm going

1021
01:03:52.090 --> 01:03:54.250 A:middle L:90%
to show you is one that's really simple and when

1022
01:03:54.250 --> 01:03:57.750 A:middle L:90%
it's a little more complex. So here's this,

1023
01:03:57.750 --> 01:04:00.309 A:middle L:90%
like hockey pob e book template, and you can

1024
01:04:00.309 --> 01:04:04.409 A:middle L:90%
see the, uh, public license. And there's

1025
01:04:04.409 --> 01:04:08.559 A:middle L:90%
a little, uh, tool tip about our different

1026
01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:14.139 A:middle L:90%
licenses there. And if I want to start writing

1027
01:04:14.139 --> 01:04:19.630 A:middle L:90%
in this, I opened this as a template you

1028
01:04:19.630 --> 01:04:21.989 A:middle L:90%
can see again. Here is that, um,

1029
01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:26.099 A:middle L:90%
editor. And here's our preview. I can slip

1030
01:04:26.099 --> 01:04:28.130 A:middle L:90%
over to the rich tech mode so it looks a

1031
01:04:28.130 --> 01:04:30.750 A:middle L:90%
little less daunting. And you'll notice over here in

1032
01:04:30.750 --> 01:04:32.489 A:middle L:90%
the preview, it might be a little smallest See

1033
01:04:32.489 --> 01:04:34.469 A:middle L:90%
. But after this first paragraph, it goes into

1034
01:04:34.469 --> 01:04:38.010 A:middle L:90%
alarm. Epsom. And that's just pulled in by

1035
01:04:38.010 --> 01:04:40.500 A:middle L:90%
this lip. Some command, so I can get

1036
01:04:40.500 --> 01:04:41.690 A:middle L:90%
rid of that. If I want to where I

1037
01:04:41.690 --> 01:04:43.699 A:middle L:90%
can leave it there, I'll leave it there for

1038
01:04:43.699 --> 01:04:45.940 A:middle L:90%
now. But, um, I will start just

1039
01:04:45.949 --> 01:05:00.300 A:middle L:90%
typing some other texts and we'll see if that preview

1040
01:05:00.300 --> 01:05:01.980 A:middle L:90%
where we're fresh this, then there we go there

1041
01:05:01.980 --> 01:05:05.159 A:middle L:90%
, you can see. Um, there's the test

1042
01:05:05.170 --> 01:05:10.010 A:middle L:90%
text that I just wrote over here in the preview

1043
01:05:11.389 --> 01:05:14.800 A:middle L:90%
. So this is a really simple template that you

1044
01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:19.079 A:middle L:90%
can use, and it really just, um arranges

1045
01:05:19.079 --> 01:05:23.869 A:middle L:90%
it nicely into paragraphs, gives it some basic formatting

1046
01:05:23.880 --> 01:05:28.699 A:middle L:90%
. Um, give that some consistent font and some

1047
01:05:28.699 --> 01:05:31.639 A:middle L:90%
consistent style. For instance, it pulls in the

1048
01:05:31.639 --> 01:05:34.719 A:middle L:90%
page numbers automatically and does a few other things to

1049
01:05:34.849 --> 01:05:39.670 A:middle L:90%
be helpful. Now, if I want to do

1050
01:05:39.670 --> 01:05:44.000 A:middle L:90%
something a little more complex. Let me find my

1051
01:05:44.690 --> 01:05:47.960 A:middle L:90%
uh huh templates. There's also something like the tough

1052
01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:50.250 A:middle L:90%
decide book, and this one is also under a

1053
01:05:50.260 --> 01:05:54.909 A:middle L:90%
Creative Commons license as well. And I can open

1054
01:05:54.909 --> 01:05:58.659 A:middle L:90%
this one as a template, and this one's a

1055
01:05:58.659 --> 01:06:00.699 A:middle L:90%
little more wanting to look at. You'll see there's

1056
01:06:00.699 --> 01:06:03.170 A:middle L:90%
this text in Blue. It's commented out using a

1057
01:06:03.179 --> 01:06:05.559 A:middle L:90%
percent sign so it gives you a little bit of

1058
01:06:05.559 --> 01:06:13.349 A:middle L:90%
explanatory text here. And, um, this is

1059
01:06:13.349 --> 01:06:18.980 A:middle L:90%
our top style book and it pulls in a bunch

1060
01:06:18.980 --> 01:06:24.969 A:middle L:90%
of different commands to give it that, um,

1061
01:06:24.980 --> 01:06:28.530 A:middle L:90%
failure. Tough t Look, if you ever seeing

1062
01:06:28.530 --> 01:06:32.639 A:middle L:90%
his work before for any of his books. And

1063
01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:35.219 A:middle L:90%
again, just like with the other one, I

1064
01:06:35.230 --> 01:06:51.329 A:middle L:90%
can, uh, make modifications to this tax and

1065
01:06:51.329 --> 01:06:55.239 A:middle L:90%
hopefully the preview will refresh and it will show that

1066
01:06:55.239 --> 01:07:00.380 A:middle L:90%
over here, there we go. I like good

1067
01:07:00.380 --> 01:07:03.389 A:middle L:90%
design. So it's, uh, compiled my edit

1068
01:07:03.389 --> 01:07:05.510 A:middle L:90%
, right? And you'll notice I wrote just as

1069
01:07:05.510 --> 01:07:10.800 A:middle L:90%
I write normally and again, it, um it

1070
01:07:10.809 --> 01:07:13.349 A:middle L:90%
applies all the formatting and even that, um,

1071
01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:15.409 A:middle L:90%
full capitalization. Um, without me having to do

1072
01:07:15.409 --> 01:07:19.559 A:middle L:90%
anything, I could conceivably take my same text,

1073
01:07:19.570 --> 01:07:23.489 A:middle L:90%
and I could pull in a different latex package,

1074
01:07:24.179 --> 01:07:26.420 A:middle L:90%
and it would apply different formatting to that, and

1075
01:07:26.420 --> 01:07:31.389 A:middle L:90%
it would make it look completely different. Now I

1076
01:07:31.389 --> 01:07:36.070 A:middle L:90%
want to share my book or my project that I've

1077
01:07:36.070 --> 01:07:39.099 A:middle L:90%
been working on. I have a couple of options

1078
01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:41.840 A:middle L:90%
, so the first one is just this. Pdf

1079
01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:45.579 A:middle L:90%
. If I click the PDF button, it's going

1080
01:07:45.579 --> 01:07:49.719 A:middle L:90%
to create a pdf that downloads, and I can

1081
01:07:49.730 --> 01:07:54.579 A:middle L:90%
open up that. PdF. And there it is

1082
01:07:54.579 --> 01:07:57.719 A:middle L:90%
. It's just a pdf of this stuck, and

1083
01:07:57.719 --> 01:08:04.650 A:middle L:90%
hopefully you can see if I'm scrolling through so I

1084
01:08:04.650 --> 01:08:06.800 A:middle L:90%
can distribute that. Pdf, as I wish,

1085
01:08:06.809 --> 01:08:09.969 A:middle L:90%
if I want to do something else if I want

1086
01:08:09.969 --> 01:08:12.949 A:middle L:90%
to invite collaborators, for instance, or I want

1087
01:08:12.960 --> 01:08:15.429 A:middle L:90%
people to be able to see, um, all

1088
01:08:15.429 --> 01:08:16.789 A:middle L:90%
of these, um, different files that I have

1089
01:08:16.789 --> 01:08:19.689 A:middle L:90%
over here, I can share it in a couple

1090
01:08:19.689 --> 01:08:23.920 A:middle L:90%
of different ways so I can allow people to read

1091
01:08:23.920 --> 01:08:28.869 A:middle L:90%
and edit my work by distributing this. U R

1092
01:08:28.869 --> 01:08:30.880 A:middle L:90%
l Anybody who has this u r. L is

1093
01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:33.390 A:middle L:90%
going to be able to come into this project just

1094
01:08:33.390 --> 01:08:35.590 A:middle L:90%
like I'm in it now and make any edits that

1095
01:08:35.590 --> 01:08:39.979 A:middle L:90%
they wish. We do have versioning and history,

1096
01:08:39.989 --> 01:08:42.899 A:middle L:90%
so you'll be able to see who made which edit

1097
01:08:44.069 --> 01:08:45.899 A:middle L:90%
. But if I don't want them to make any

1098
01:08:45.899 --> 01:08:48.000 A:middle L:90%
edits, I can share this read only link with

1099
01:08:48.010 --> 01:08:51.840 A:middle L:90%
them. So, um, this allows them to

1100
01:08:51.850 --> 01:08:54.689 A:middle L:90%
see the project, and they can see the files

1101
01:08:54.699 --> 01:08:56.789 A:middle L:90%
, but they can't make any changes to it.

1102
01:08:57.869 --> 01:09:00.260 A:middle L:90%
Then the other option I have with the pro account

1103
01:09:00.260 --> 01:09:03.439 A:middle L:90%
is to make this a protected project this way.

1104
01:09:03.449 --> 01:09:05.930 A:middle L:90%
Um, the only way we can get into this

1105
01:09:05.930 --> 01:09:12.539 A:middle L:90%
project is if I invite them and allow them to

1106
01:09:12.539 --> 01:09:15.939 A:middle L:90%
edit it or just to read it. And so

1107
01:09:15.939 --> 01:09:20.560 A:middle L:90%
now that I've invited Shelly to work on this project

1108
01:09:20.569 --> 01:09:23.750 A:middle L:90%
, she can get into this project if she has

1109
01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:27.859 A:middle L:90%
logged into her over leaf account. But nobody else

1110
01:09:27.869 --> 01:09:30.039 A:middle L:90%
can get into this, uh, project so she

1111
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:33.069 A:middle L:90%
can't distribute that you are all without my knowledge and

1112
01:09:33.069 --> 01:09:43.539 A:middle L:90%
move it around. So those are the basics.

1113
01:09:43.550 --> 01:09:48.810 A:middle L:90%
The very basics of, um, adapting and authoring

1114
01:09:48.810 --> 01:09:50.970 A:middle L:90%
with over leaf. And I know we're running,

1115
01:09:50.979 --> 01:09:54.539 A:middle L:90%
um, a little short on time. So,

1116
01:09:54.550 --> 01:09:57.800 A:middle L:90%
um, I have some slides, and I'll send

1117
01:09:57.800 --> 01:10:00.729 A:middle L:90%
these to Anita. Um, or you can contact

1118
01:10:00.729 --> 01:10:02.029 A:middle L:90%
me to get a copy of this presentation and have

1119
01:10:02.039 --> 01:10:06.579 A:middle L:90%
some additional helpful links in it. Um, we

1120
01:10:06.579 --> 01:10:10.390 A:middle L:90%
do have a robust f A Q and help section

1121
01:10:10.390 --> 01:10:12.390 A:middle L:90%
over leaf dot com slash help, and you can

1122
01:10:12.390 --> 01:10:15.399 A:middle L:90%
always contact anybody at overly fat over lean dot com

1123
01:10:15.399 --> 01:10:34.479 A:middle L:90%
slash contact. Does anybody have any questions? No

1124
01:10:34.479 --> 01:10:40.989 A:middle L:90%
questions from the room. All right, well,

1125
01:10:40.989 --> 01:10:43.430 A:middle L:90%
thank you, everyone. Um thanks, Anita,

1126
01:10:43.439 --> 01:10:45.090 A:middle L:90%
for inviting me to participate in this. And again

1127
01:10:45.090 --> 01:10:47.359 A:middle L:90%
, please feel free to, um, get in

1128
01:10:47.359 --> 01:10:50.529 A:middle L:90%
touch if you have any questions about offering with over

1129
01:10:50.529 --> 01:11:01.539 A:middle L:90%
leaf. Thank you, Ryan. Okay, So

1130
01:11:01.550 --> 01:11:09.100 A:middle L:90%
our next presenter mhm presenters are Lisa Petrino's and then

1131
01:11:09.100 --> 01:11:14.680 A:middle L:90%
the Boland of the Institute for Knowledge Management and Education

1132
01:11:14.689 --> 01:11:17.500 A:middle L:90%
. SK Lisa is the founder and CEO of It's

1133
01:11:17.510 --> 01:11:20.850 A:middle L:90%
Me. And Mindy serves as the manager of our

1134
01:11:20.850 --> 01:11:25.109 A:middle L:90%
products and services, and they are going to talk

1135
01:11:25.109 --> 01:11:28.430 A:middle L:90%
with us about your comments. Good morning. This

1136
01:11:28.430 --> 01:11:31.319 A:middle L:90%
is Lisa P treaties and my colleague Windy Bolan's from

1137
01:11:31.569 --> 01:11:33.930 A:middle L:90%
me, and we are Commons. And thank you

1138
01:11:33.930 --> 01:11:36.439 A:middle L:90%
so much, Ryan, for jumping in ahead of

1139
01:11:36.439 --> 01:11:39.949 A:middle L:90%
us as we worked out a few problems on our

1140
01:11:39.960 --> 01:11:43.539 A:middle L:90%
end. Um, we're here this morning to talk

1141
01:11:43.539 --> 01:11:46.489 A:middle L:90%
about, uh oh. Er comments are digital public

1142
01:11:46.489 --> 01:11:53.170 A:middle L:90%
library and collaboration platform. and I wanted to start

1143
01:11:53.170 --> 01:11:55.270 A:middle L:90%
by telling you a little bit about Ask me.

1144
01:11:55.380 --> 01:11:58.449 A:middle L:90%
We are in education, nonprofits if you don't know

1145
01:11:58.449 --> 01:12:01.489 A:middle L:90%
us and our work is really focused on improving the

1146
01:12:01.489 --> 01:12:05.939 A:middle L:90%
practice of continuous learning, collaboration and change in the

1147
01:12:05.939 --> 01:12:10.829 A:middle L:90%
education sector. Open education resources is a big part

1148
01:12:10.829 --> 01:12:13.920 A:middle L:90%
of our work and since 2000 and seven, we

1149
01:12:13.920 --> 01:12:17.659 A:middle L:90%
have developed and been running the Digital Public Library er

1150
01:12:17.659 --> 01:12:24.050 A:middle L:90%
Commons to really support curriculum improvement in both higher ed

1151
01:12:24.060 --> 01:12:29.140 A:middle L:90%
K 12 community colleges and also in informal education.

1152
01:12:29.149 --> 01:12:34.479 A:middle L:90%
Our infrastructure really leverages best practices in library science,

1153
01:12:34.850 --> 01:12:39.039 A:middle L:90%
and we focus a lot on the interoperability around our

1154
01:12:39.039 --> 01:12:43.699 A:middle L:90%
content and our tools and our services. Um,

1155
01:12:43.710 --> 01:12:48.479 A:middle L:90%
we have been curating collections from over 400 content providers

1156
01:12:49.149 --> 01:12:57.640 A:middle L:90%
of and we are integrated with many different local campus

1157
01:12:57.649 --> 01:13:01.649 A:middle L:90%
based or district wide LMS is and we also have

1158
01:13:01.659 --> 01:13:08.390 A:middle L:90%
been mhm, mhm. We have been we host

1159
01:13:08.390 --> 01:13:11.800 A:middle L:90%
content on oh er comments through our authoring tools,

1160
01:13:11.800 --> 01:13:14.180 A:middle L:90%
which you'll see a little bit of today. Um

1161
01:13:14.180 --> 01:13:17.489 A:middle L:90%
, and the platform itself enables you to both create

1162
01:13:17.579 --> 01:13:21.359 A:middle L:90%
collaborate and remix content as well as look at content

1163
01:13:21.359 --> 01:13:25.109 A:middle L:90%
that is hosted, um, and other places that

1164
01:13:25.109 --> 01:13:28.710 A:middle L:90%
we can still align to standards and put in groups

1165
01:13:28.710 --> 01:13:30.550 A:middle L:90%
and collections. And we'll show you a bit of

1166
01:13:30.550 --> 01:13:33.050 A:middle L:90%
that this morning as well. So, Mindy,

1167
01:13:33.060 --> 01:13:35.470 A:middle L:90%
why don't you go ahead and share your screen?

1168
01:13:35.949 --> 01:13:41.630 A:middle L:90%
Sure. Thank you all again for joining us this

1169
01:13:41.630 --> 01:13:44.170 A:middle L:90%
morning. Um, so as you can see here

1170
01:13:44.170 --> 01:13:45.159 A:middle L:90%
, this is only our comments, and you can

1171
01:13:45.170 --> 01:13:48.050 A:middle L:90%
see the web access to and with the other way

1172
01:13:48.050 --> 01:13:51.069 A:middle L:90%
. Either way, um, as Lisa said,

1173
01:13:51.069 --> 01:13:55.840 A:middle L:90%
we consider earlier comments of digital public library of open

1174
01:13:55.840 --> 01:13:59.159 A:middle L:90%
education resources, but we also think about it in

1175
01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:01.949 A:middle L:90%
terms of collaboration and authoring. So I want to

1176
01:14:01.949 --> 01:14:04.539 A:middle L:90%
show a little bit about finding content on o er

1177
01:14:04.539 --> 01:14:08.640 A:middle L:90%
comments and then get into some of the authoring and

1178
01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:12.270 A:middle L:90%
collaboration tools that we offer as features of the site

1179
01:14:13.239 --> 01:14:15.140 A:middle L:90%
. So first, you know, right away when

1180
01:14:15.140 --> 01:14:15.670 A:middle L:90%
you get to o er comments, we like to

1181
01:14:15.670 --> 01:14:17.800 A:middle L:90%
make it easy to get straight to resources. We

1182
01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:21.210 A:middle L:90%
know that that is often the primary reason that people

1183
01:14:21.210 --> 01:14:25.390 A:middle L:90%
come to er Commons. So we put this search

1184
01:14:25.390 --> 01:14:28.210 A:middle L:90%
bar right here in the center. You can see

1185
01:14:28.210 --> 01:14:31.670 A:middle L:90%
how you can also filter right across the front here

1186
01:14:31.680 --> 01:14:44.979 A:middle L:90%
. If you're looking for something specific so, as

1187
01:14:44.979 --> 01:14:47.050 A:middle L:90%
you all are probably aware earlier can be many things

1188
01:14:47.050 --> 01:14:48.399 A:middle L:90%
it could be. Of course, it could be

1189
01:14:48.399 --> 01:14:50.729 A:middle L:90%
a lab. It could be a video, and

1190
01:14:50.739 --> 01:14:54.949 A:middle L:90%
people come looking for different reasons on the left.

1191
01:14:54.949 --> 01:14:56.869 A:middle L:90%
Once you've done a search with a keywords like I

1192
01:14:56.869 --> 01:14:59.439 A:middle L:90%
did, you can filter your search using these different

1193
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:01.319 A:middle L:90%
filters. So, for example, if I came

1194
01:15:01.319 --> 01:15:03.949 A:middle L:90%
here and I was really looking for an interactive to

1195
01:15:03.949 --> 01:15:06.859 A:middle L:90%
use in my course, I could select that filter

1196
01:15:09.939 --> 01:15:12.800 A:middle L:90%
, and it would take me to stimulations and different

1197
01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:16.270 A:middle L:90%
kinds of interactive resources. So let's go into this

1198
01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:19.909 A:middle L:90%
foot simulation, and I'll show you what it looks

1199
01:15:19.909 --> 01:15:23.470 A:middle L:90%
like when you get to a resource page. Um

1200
01:15:23.479 --> 01:15:25.140 A:middle L:90%
, all of the resources on O. R.

1201
01:15:25.140 --> 01:15:28.170 A:middle L:90%
Comments have landing pages like this one. There's a

1202
01:15:28.170 --> 01:15:30.420 A:middle L:90%
few different things you can do here. There's a

1203
01:15:30.420 --> 01:15:33.130 A:middle L:90%
lot of descriptive information about the resource. There are

1204
01:15:33.130 --> 01:15:39.319 A:middle L:90%
tags the user generated, and internally generated users can

1205
01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:41.670 A:middle L:90%
add more. You can see right away the conditions

1206
01:15:41.670 --> 01:15:45.130 A:middle L:90%
of use. You can comment, share your experience

1207
01:15:45.130 --> 01:15:48.550 A:middle L:90%
of the resource. You can also provide a star

1208
01:15:48.550 --> 01:15:53.300 A:middle L:90%
rating here, particularly sources aligned to a few different

1209
01:15:53.300 --> 01:15:57.130 A:middle L:90%
common core standards. But you can also evaluate it

1210
01:15:57.140 --> 01:16:00.529 A:middle L:90%
using an invite the achieved rubric, which is right

1211
01:16:00.529 --> 01:16:03.779 A:middle L:90%
here. And if you're not interested in the standards

1212
01:16:03.779 --> 01:16:05.369 A:middle L:90%
, you can get in and still talk about the

1213
01:16:05.369 --> 01:16:08.760 A:middle L:90%
quality of the subject matter, the utility of the

1214
01:16:08.760 --> 01:16:12.170 A:middle L:90%
materials and all of that and every bit of user

1215
01:16:12.170 --> 01:16:15.229 A:middle L:90%
generated resource. Um, feedback like that evaluation star

1216
01:16:15.229 --> 01:16:18.539 A:middle L:90%
ratings comments really adds to the value of what you

1217
01:16:18.539 --> 01:16:21.670 A:middle L:90%
find out. We are Commons. This is a

1218
01:16:21.670 --> 01:16:26.739 A:middle L:90%
resource that is hosted externally, and that means that

1219
01:16:27.329 --> 01:16:29.380 A:middle L:90%
we don't own it. We just indexed it.

1220
01:16:29.380 --> 01:16:30.380 A:middle L:90%
We have described it. We've made it easy for

1221
01:16:30.380 --> 01:16:32.210 A:middle L:90%
you to find, and then we will take you

1222
01:16:32.210 --> 01:16:33.979 A:middle L:90%
out to it. But when you get links to

1223
01:16:33.979 --> 01:16:35.850 A:middle L:90%
it from earlier comments, you will get this I

1224
01:16:35.850 --> 01:16:40.359 A:middle L:90%
frame at the top of the screen, which allows

1225
01:16:40.359 --> 01:16:42.100 A:middle L:90%
you to still do those same things that you were

1226
01:16:42.100 --> 01:16:44.119 A:middle L:90%
doing could do before you can rate it. You

1227
01:16:44.119 --> 01:16:45.250 A:middle L:90%
can evaluate it. You can comment on it.

1228
01:16:45.829 --> 01:16:48.550 A:middle L:90%
Um, you can also share it on social media

1229
01:16:48.560 --> 01:16:51.869 A:middle L:90%
or again, add tags. You can save it

1230
01:16:51.869 --> 01:16:55.600 A:middle L:90%
to my items or groups. And then, um

1231
01:16:55.600 --> 01:16:57.979 A:middle L:90%
, this icon here is if you're using Google Apps

1232
01:16:57.979 --> 01:17:00.960 A:middle L:90%
for education. You can save this to my classroom

1233
01:17:00.430 --> 01:17:03.199 A:middle L:90%
. And that way you can create assignments for your

1234
01:17:03.199 --> 01:17:10.750 A:middle L:90%
students. Yeah, Since we don't have a lot

1235
01:17:10.750 --> 01:17:12.529 A:middle L:90%
of time, I'm going to jump over now to

1236
01:17:12.529 --> 01:17:15.250 A:middle L:90%
the authoring tools. Um, we offer three different

1237
01:17:15.250 --> 01:17:17.409 A:middle L:90%
cropping platforms on O er comment. I'm going to

1238
01:17:17.409 --> 01:17:21.390 A:middle L:90%
show you two of those today. Um, open

1239
01:17:21.390 --> 01:17:26.939 A:middle L:90%
author is are more mature platform. Essentially, you've

1240
01:17:26.939 --> 01:17:30.159 A:middle L:90%
got a single page and a WYSIWYG editor across the

1241
01:17:30.159 --> 01:17:36.829 A:middle L:90%
top. You need to get the title and on

1242
01:17:36.829 --> 01:17:40.210 A:middle L:90%
the left here, you can create some structure and

1243
01:17:40.220 --> 01:17:43.840 A:middle L:90%
outline to your resource with the units and headings and

1244
01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:45.760 A:middle L:90%
subheadings. So there's really just headers that will create

1245
01:17:45.760 --> 01:18:00.810 A:middle L:90%
a table of contents. I could format this with

1246
01:18:00.819 --> 01:18:02.079 A:middle L:90%
all these nice formatting tools across the top. I

1247
01:18:02.079 --> 01:18:04.640 A:middle L:90%
can also insert media. So maybe I have a

1248
01:18:04.640 --> 01:18:10.409 A:middle L:90%
picture that I want to include in my In my

1249
01:18:10.409 --> 01:18:14.090 A:middle L:90%
resource, this is going to not be very smooth

1250
01:18:14.100 --> 01:18:17.380 A:middle L:90%
. Here we go. And one thing that,

1251
01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:20.529 A:middle L:90%
you know, er comments is accessibility. So resources

1252
01:18:20.529 --> 01:18:23.819 A:middle L:90%
that are added or images that are added to open

1253
01:18:23.819 --> 01:18:26.859 A:middle L:90%
author or the module builder you do have to provide

1254
01:18:26.859 --> 01:18:29.920 A:middle L:90%
an aria description included in addition to a short one

1255
01:18:29.930 --> 01:18:36.039 A:middle L:90%
. So Okay, so you would do that there

1256
01:18:39.319 --> 01:18:44.560 A:middle L:90%
and then you've embedded the picture across the bottom.

1257
01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:45.060 A:middle L:90%
Here, you can see some other features of older

1258
01:18:45.060 --> 01:18:47.739 A:middle L:90%
comments. You can associate your resource with other earlier

1259
01:18:47.739 --> 01:18:51.909 A:middle L:90%
that you've saved. So perhaps my resource about my

1260
01:18:51.909 --> 01:18:55.779 A:middle L:90%
dog is really related to geometry in three D,

1261
01:18:55.779 --> 01:18:57.619 A:middle L:90%
and I could add that there and those will be

1262
01:18:57.619 --> 01:18:59.659 A:middle L:90%
a link there. So when users come to this

1263
01:18:59.659 --> 01:19:02.069 A:middle L:90%
resource, they will also have reference to this resource

1264
01:19:02.069 --> 01:19:04.920 A:middle L:90%
here. I could add co authors. If I'm

1265
01:19:04.920 --> 01:19:08.899 A:middle L:90%
working with a colleague, I could add them to

1266
01:19:08.899 --> 01:19:11.550 A:middle L:90%
my resource, and we can work together on it

1267
01:19:11.550 --> 01:19:17.710 A:middle L:90%
in draft form and collaborate. Um, the last

1268
01:19:17.720 --> 01:19:19.659 A:middle L:90%
piece here is import from Google docs, which I

1269
01:19:19.659 --> 01:19:23.750 A:middle L:90%
know is important to educators because so many people do

1270
01:19:23.750 --> 01:19:27.149 A:middle L:90%
work in Google docs here. If I click import

1271
01:19:27.149 --> 01:19:29.819 A:middle L:90%
from Google docs, it will link into my my

1272
01:19:29.819 --> 01:19:32.420 A:middle L:90%
Gmail account, and that is where I would be

1273
01:19:32.420 --> 01:19:36.430 A:middle L:90%
able to create a new resource. It would also

1274
01:19:36.430 --> 01:19:41.239 A:middle L:90%
carry that formatting over. Now I'm going to go

1275
01:19:41.239 --> 01:19:47.859 A:middle L:90%
back and show you a published open up a resource

1276
01:20:00.710 --> 01:20:01.659 A:middle L:90%
so This is what a resource looks like when you've

1277
01:20:01.659 --> 01:20:03.930 A:middle L:90%
already When you published it on Oh, er comments

1278
01:20:03.939 --> 01:20:06.340 A:middle L:90%
, um, you can see here on the left

1279
01:20:06.340 --> 01:20:09.470 A:middle L:90%
we've got the summary and the learning goals. Those

1280
01:20:09.470 --> 01:20:11.619 A:middle L:90%
are parts of the described screen that will show you

1281
01:20:11.619 --> 01:20:13.739 A:middle L:90%
in a minute. So everything that you author on

1282
01:20:13.800 --> 01:20:15.779 A:middle L:90%
, er comments you have to describe it with some

1283
01:20:15.779 --> 01:20:17.710 A:middle L:90%
metadata, which is what makes it findable for other

1284
01:20:17.710 --> 01:20:20.399 A:middle L:90%
users. Um, also on the left. Here

1285
01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:23.829 A:middle L:90%
, you can see some more information about the resource

1286
01:20:23.829 --> 01:20:26.050 A:middle L:90%
, including the version history, which is a nice

1287
01:20:26.050 --> 01:20:29.420 A:middle L:90%
feature to show you how a resource has been remixed

1288
01:20:29.430 --> 01:20:32.140 A:middle L:90%
. How many times whether it's been translated, um

1289
01:20:32.149 --> 01:20:33.819 A:middle L:90%
, something that you don't get when you're making a

1290
01:20:33.819 --> 01:20:39.829 A:middle L:90%
copy in Google Dogs. One of the nice things

1291
01:20:39.840 --> 01:20:42.729 A:middle L:90%
about using, open and author is that it's really

1292
01:20:42.729 --> 01:20:44.890 A:middle L:90%
easy to remix. All you should do is like

1293
01:20:44.899 --> 01:20:47.369 A:middle L:90%
remix this resource, Um and you'll have you'll be

1294
01:20:47.369 --> 01:20:49.489 A:middle L:90%
back in that editing mode that we saw a moment

1295
01:20:49.489 --> 01:20:53.850 A:middle L:90%
ago. So this is inevitable version of the same

1296
01:20:53.850 --> 01:20:56.390 A:middle L:90%
resource. So now I could make this more applicable

1297
01:20:56.390 --> 01:20:58.750 A:middle L:90%
to my students. I could change some examples,

1298
01:20:58.750 --> 01:21:00.949 A:middle L:90%
change the text, whatever you wanted to do to

1299
01:21:00.960 --> 01:21:02.789 A:middle L:90%
update it to make it. I work for your

1300
01:21:02.789 --> 01:21:08.449 A:middle L:90%
students. Now this is the describes cream that you

1301
01:21:08.449 --> 01:21:11.590 A:middle L:90%
would do for any open author resources where you add

1302
01:21:11.590 --> 01:21:14.750 A:middle L:90%
your descriptive information, your abstract, the subjects,

1303
01:21:14.760 --> 01:21:16.260 A:middle L:90%
all of those bits of information that make it findable

1304
01:21:16.260 --> 01:21:19.909 A:middle L:90%
for others. And the last step would be the

1305
01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:23.010 A:middle L:90%
submit button here, and that is where you'll be

1306
01:21:23.010 --> 01:21:25.770 A:middle L:90%
adding your Creative Commons license. We'd like to keep

1307
01:21:25.770 --> 01:21:29.050 A:middle L:90%
it simple with just a couple of questions and and

1308
01:21:29.050 --> 01:21:31.140 A:middle L:90%
then you're on your way. So that is open

1309
01:21:31.140 --> 01:21:38.930 A:middle L:90%
author. We're going to also show you quickly the

1310
01:21:38.930 --> 01:21:44.399 A:middle L:90%
module builder the module builder is again. It's another

1311
01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:46.430 A:middle L:90%
authoring tool, and the difference, really is that

1312
01:21:46.810 --> 01:21:50.130 A:middle L:90%
with this tool, you can create both student and

1313
01:21:50.130 --> 01:21:55.130 A:middle L:90%
instructor facing views so you can make a task,

1314
01:21:55.130 --> 01:21:57.550 A:middle L:90%
for example, for a student, but still communicate

1315
01:21:57.550 --> 01:22:00.430 A:middle L:90%
to other people using the resource like your intentions or

1316
01:22:00.430 --> 01:22:01.720 A:middle L:90%
the learning objectives it was meant to solve. For

1317
01:22:01.720 --> 01:22:08.229 A:middle L:90%
example, again, you can have an opening image

1318
01:22:08.800 --> 01:22:11.250 A:middle L:90%
. This overview is just to describe what the module

1319
01:22:11.250 --> 01:22:14.170 A:middle L:90%
is about. It does more instructor facing than student

1320
01:22:14.170 --> 01:22:18.390 A:middle L:90%
facing, and this slightly different with your weight editor

1321
01:22:18.390 --> 01:22:20.470 A:middle L:90%
, but similar. Um, you can again embed

1322
01:22:20.470 --> 01:22:24.640 A:middle L:90%
images and videos and math and tables all of the

1323
01:22:24.649 --> 01:22:28.449 A:middle L:90%
formatting that you can see here. You can also

1324
01:22:28.460 --> 01:22:31.069 A:middle L:90%
attach resources to your module. So if you have

1325
01:22:31.079 --> 01:22:34.350 A:middle L:90%
, for example, an anchor text or some sort

1326
01:22:34.350 --> 01:22:38.130 A:middle L:90%
of solutions or, you know, rubrics, whatever

1327
01:22:38.130 --> 01:22:41.310 A:middle L:90%
you can associate those at the both the module level

1328
01:22:41.310 --> 01:22:44.810 A:middle L:90%
and at the task level. Um so these are

1329
01:22:44.810 --> 01:22:45.489 A:middle L:90%
the tasks, and this is where you would see

1330
01:22:45.489 --> 01:22:50.750 A:middle L:90%
both the instructor and the student facing content. So

1331
01:22:50.750 --> 01:22:53.300 A:middle L:90%
again, this is where I could talk about the

1332
01:22:53.300 --> 01:23:03.380 A:middle L:90%
learning objectives boy. And this is where I would

1333
01:23:03.380 --> 01:23:06.600 A:middle L:90%
create the student facing content. So, um,

1334
01:23:06.600 --> 01:23:10.420 A:middle L:90%
what's nice here is you can have some activities for

1335
01:23:10.420 --> 01:23:12.739 A:middle L:90%
a student to do and say you're using an anchor

1336
01:23:12.739 --> 01:23:14.930 A:middle L:90%
tax. You can attach that here by adding a

1337
01:23:14.930 --> 01:23:17.649 A:middle L:90%
resource. Um, similarly, you go through a

1338
01:23:17.649 --> 01:23:20.960 A:middle L:90%
described screen and you can have co authors. I'm

1339
01:23:20.970 --> 01:23:24.100 A:middle L:90%
going to show you one that's published, I think

1340
01:23:24.100 --> 01:23:27.619 A:middle L:90%
is a nice example of using this module builder tool

1341
01:23:28.100 --> 01:23:30.729 A:middle L:90%
. This was done by somebody at University of Washington

1342
01:23:30.500 --> 01:23:32.770 A:middle L:90%
, and you can see she's created this this nice

1343
01:23:32.779 --> 01:23:36.829 A:middle L:90%
module overview. She's linked out to some other resources

1344
01:23:38.399 --> 01:23:40.439 A:middle L:90%
as an introduction. And then really, what they

1345
01:23:40.439 --> 01:23:43.369 A:middle L:90%
did was use slides as the main, the main

1346
01:23:43.369 --> 01:23:47.600 A:middle L:90%
path students to view. And I'm going to use

1347
01:23:47.600 --> 01:23:51.109 A:middle L:90%
this to show you also here on the right you

1348
01:23:51.109 --> 01:23:54.300 A:middle L:90%
have. This is what we call the student view

1349
01:23:54.310 --> 01:23:57.970 A:middle L:90%
. And that is where you would see the content

1350
01:23:57.970 --> 01:24:00.550 A:middle L:90%
that was specifically meant for the students. So each

1351
01:24:00.550 --> 01:24:03.640 A:middle L:90%
of those tasks that are created is a student as

1352
01:24:03.640 --> 01:24:08.310 A:middle L:90%
part of this student view. And this was what

1353
01:24:08.310 --> 01:24:11.529 A:middle L:90%
you would get if you were accessing this module using

1354
01:24:11.529 --> 01:24:15.039 A:middle L:90%
the lti consumer, for example. Go back over

1355
01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:18.020 A:middle L:90%
here and you can see again just remixed button,

1356
01:24:21.989 --> 01:24:28.439 A:middle L:90%
which lets me just change it up. So each

1357
01:24:28.439 --> 01:24:30.510 A:middle L:90%
of these would be editable. And if I was

1358
01:24:30.520 --> 01:24:33.529 A:middle L:90%
to edit this and publish it, the original author

1359
01:24:33.529 --> 01:24:38.430 A:middle L:90%
would be notified that I did that just to show

1360
01:24:38.430 --> 01:24:40.609 A:middle L:90%
you the described screen for the module builder. You

1361
01:24:40.609 --> 01:24:42.810 A:middle L:90%
can see it here. It's very similar to open

1362
01:24:42.810 --> 01:24:45.670 A:middle L:90%
author. You put the education levels and subjects the

1363
01:24:45.670 --> 01:24:49.649 A:middle L:90%
licensing, all of that. Okay, now I'm

1364
01:24:49.649 --> 01:24:54.460 A:middle L:90%
going to back it up a moment before I move

1365
01:24:54.460 --> 01:25:00.340 A:middle L:90%
off of bothering. Does anyone have any questions you're

1366
01:25:00.340 --> 01:25:02.920 A:middle L:90%
all forced to meet anyway, aren't you? Um

1367
01:25:02.930 --> 01:25:05.090 A:middle L:90%
, Okay, so now I want to show you

1368
01:25:05.100 --> 01:25:09.939 A:middle L:90%
group, um, groups is a feature of all

1369
01:25:09.939 --> 01:25:12.159 A:middle L:90%
E. R comments. That's really meant for communities

1370
01:25:12.159 --> 01:25:17.199 A:middle L:90%
of practice to facilitate communication. Um, collaborative sharing

1371
01:25:17.199 --> 01:25:20.600 A:middle L:90%
curation. Um, just really to create a way

1372
01:25:20.600 --> 01:25:24.619 A:middle L:90%
for folks to work together. Um, I added

1373
01:25:24.619 --> 01:25:28.079 A:middle L:90%
myself to be to Anita's Virginia er project to use

1374
01:25:28.079 --> 01:25:30.789 A:middle L:90%
that as our example today. Sorry, Anita,

1375
01:25:30.789 --> 01:25:31.409 A:middle L:90%
I'll get out of your group when I'm done.

1376
01:25:31.789 --> 01:25:33.970 A:middle L:90%
Um, but you can see here. We've got

1377
01:25:33.970 --> 01:25:36.550 A:middle L:90%
this nice description. You can see the members and

1378
01:25:36.550 --> 01:25:42.850 A:middle L:90%
resources. They've done some soldering here on the left

1379
01:25:42.850 --> 01:25:45.310 A:middle L:90%
. And this is a nice way to, um

1380
01:25:45.789 --> 01:25:47.310 A:middle L:90%
, create your own taxonomy about how you want to

1381
01:25:47.310 --> 01:25:51.140 A:middle L:90%
organize your resources. Um, there's also a discussion

1382
01:25:51.140 --> 01:25:56.090 A:middle L:90%
board. And this If I was to start a

1383
01:25:56.090 --> 01:25:57.579 A:middle L:90%
discussion, I could do that here. I would

1384
01:25:57.579 --> 01:26:00.210 A:middle L:90%
be notified about responsive new threads. Um, you

1385
01:26:00.210 --> 01:26:03.680 A:middle L:90%
can also pin resources or discussions to the top of

1386
01:26:03.680 --> 01:26:06.020 A:middle L:90%
the list. So if you have, for example

1387
01:26:06.020 --> 01:26:10.520 A:middle L:90%
, guidelines for your group or a welcome for your

1388
01:26:10.520 --> 01:26:12.470 A:middle L:90%
discussion board, you can pin this to the top

1389
01:26:12.470 --> 01:26:15.350 A:middle L:90%
so that users would see those first, um,

1390
01:26:15.350 --> 01:26:18.149 A:middle L:90%
groups are available to anyone on o er comment as

1391
01:26:18.149 --> 01:26:21.720 A:middle L:90%
long as you're a registered user. And so there

1392
01:26:21.720 --> 01:26:27.229 A:middle L:90%
a nice way to get started using only our Lastly

1393
01:26:27.229 --> 01:26:28.989 A:middle L:90%
, I'm going to go to hugs, which is

1394
01:26:28.989 --> 01:26:31.649 A:middle L:90%
a service that provides, um, we have a

1395
01:26:31.649 --> 01:26:34.979 A:middle L:90%
number of different kinds of network hubs. They can

1396
01:26:34.979 --> 01:26:38.659 A:middle L:90%
be at a state level, a district level.

1397
01:26:38.670 --> 01:26:41.890 A:middle L:90%
Um, we've worked with some consortium to we've worked

1398
01:26:41.890 --> 01:26:44.960 A:middle L:90%
with NGOs. Um, we've also partnered with other

1399
01:26:44.960 --> 01:26:47.850 A:middle L:90%
organizations. Um, also, sometimes it creates our

1400
01:26:47.850 --> 01:26:50.460 A:middle L:90%
own hubs when we notice a particular interest from our

1401
01:26:50.460 --> 01:26:54.239 A:middle L:90%
users. So, um, the first one I'm

1402
01:26:54.239 --> 01:26:56.000 A:middle L:90%
going to show you is the open fact tub,

1403
01:26:56.010 --> 01:26:59.460 A:middle L:90%
because I think this is a wonderful example of how

1404
01:26:59.460 --> 01:27:01.489 A:middle L:90%
we have partnered with another. We are content provider

1405
01:27:02.680 --> 01:27:04.449 A:middle L:90%
, um, open stacks books, and I'm sure

1406
01:27:04.449 --> 01:27:08.739 A:middle L:90%
you guys are aware are openly licensed college textbooks.

1407
01:27:08.750 --> 01:27:11.050 A:middle L:90%
And, um, they found that people who were

1408
01:27:11.050 --> 01:27:13.399 A:middle L:90%
using their books really, you know, they wanted

1409
01:27:13.409 --> 01:27:15.770 A:middle L:90%
they were creating ancillary is to support the books,

1410
01:27:15.770 --> 01:27:18.109 A:middle L:90%
whether that was power points or study guides, etcetera

1411
01:27:18.119 --> 01:27:20.390 A:middle L:90%
. And they wanted to share back to the community

1412
01:27:20.399 --> 01:27:24.279 A:middle L:90%
. So it was kind of like open practice in

1413
01:27:24.279 --> 01:27:27.819 A:middle L:90%
action and open sex insiders who work with that.

1414
01:27:27.819 --> 01:27:29.890 A:middle L:90%
We are common to create a hub so that they

1415
01:27:29.890 --> 01:27:31.060 A:middle L:90%
would have a place for the community of users to

1416
01:27:31.060 --> 01:27:35.170 A:middle L:90%
start sharing their content back. So what they've done

1417
01:27:35.180 --> 01:27:38.619 A:middle L:90%
is they have some nice guidelines here at the top

1418
01:27:38.630 --> 01:27:40.300 A:middle L:90%
, and then they have a working group for each

1419
01:27:40.300 --> 01:27:44.479 A:middle L:90%
of their books. And people who use these books

1420
01:27:44.479 --> 01:27:46.210 A:middle L:90%
can join the group and they can start contributing.

1421
01:27:47.279 --> 01:27:49.479 A:middle L:90%
So what they've done, they've pinned this resource at

1422
01:27:49.479 --> 01:27:51.520 A:middle L:90%
the top. How to use the open sex community

1423
01:27:51.520 --> 01:27:55.409 A:middle L:90%
hub and then down here, they have resources that

1424
01:27:55.409 --> 01:28:00.000 A:middle L:90%
have been submitted by their users. Mm hmm.

1425
01:28:00.369 --> 01:28:02.789 A:middle L:90%
I should also note that when you're a member of

1426
01:28:02.789 --> 01:28:04.720 A:middle L:90%
a group, it's easy to add to the group

1427
01:28:04.720 --> 01:28:08.029 A:middle L:90%
. There was a contribute to this group brought down

1428
01:28:08.029 --> 01:28:11.000 A:middle L:90%
right here, and you can submit a U R

1429
01:28:11.000 --> 01:28:13.319 A:middle L:90%
l. Or you can submit an author resource and

1430
01:28:13.319 --> 01:28:15.579 A:middle L:90%
it will be added directly to the group. I'm

1431
01:28:15.579 --> 01:28:20.869 A:middle L:90%
going to go back to the hub. Let me

1432
01:28:20.869 --> 01:28:30.689 A:middle L:90%
find you another Clinton should give you, um I

1433
01:28:30.689 --> 01:28:32.810 A:middle L:90%
One of one of my favorite hubs to show is

1434
01:28:32.810 --> 01:28:38.369 A:middle L:90%
the Michigan Colleges online, Michigan. They have an

1435
01:28:38.380 --> 01:28:42.029 A:middle L:90%
association of 28 community colleges and they are doing and

1436
01:28:42.039 --> 01:28:44.909 A:middle L:90%
we are initiative. And so they have developed this

1437
01:28:44.920 --> 01:28:45.979 A:middle L:90%
hub for that work. And, um, I

1438
01:28:45.979 --> 01:28:48.060 A:middle L:90%
like the way they did it. It's very straightforward

1439
01:28:48.060 --> 01:28:50.390 A:middle L:90%
. They have there descriptive. You know, this

1440
01:28:50.390 --> 01:28:53.979 A:middle L:90%
is what this hub is about. And then they've

1441
01:28:53.979 --> 01:28:57.770 A:middle L:90%
created curated collections around each of the primary discipline topics

1442
01:28:57.770 --> 01:29:00.659 A:middle L:90%
that their colleges and you can see right away.

1443
01:29:00.659 --> 01:29:01.869 A:middle L:90%
These are not huge collections. And I think that

1444
01:29:01.869 --> 01:29:04.390 A:middle L:90%
is an important thing to note because really, what

1445
01:29:04.390 --> 01:29:10.789 A:middle L:90%
this shows is that there really emphasizing resources that they

1446
01:29:10.789 --> 01:29:13.060 A:middle L:90%
have vetted and that they wanted they want to share

1447
01:29:13.060 --> 01:29:15.529 A:middle L:90%
with their with their community. So people from Michigan

1448
01:29:15.529 --> 01:29:18.000 A:middle L:90%
colleges or really other colleges could come here and note

1449
01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:20.539 A:middle L:90%
that these resources have been validated their high value,

1450
01:29:20.539 --> 01:29:24.140 A:middle L:90%
and they've been chosen to be a part of this

1451
01:29:24.140 --> 01:29:29.579 A:middle L:90%
hub. What they did here below is they use

1452
01:29:29.579 --> 01:29:31.039 A:middle L:90%
the same group, the er Commons groups, and

1453
01:29:31.039 --> 01:29:33.890 A:middle L:90%
they created one for each of their colleges. Um

1454
01:29:33.899 --> 01:29:36.100 A:middle L:90%
, in in planning this hub, we work closely

1455
01:29:36.100 --> 01:29:41.770 A:middle L:90%
with the librarians at these different colleges, and I

1456
01:29:41.770 --> 01:29:44.609 A:middle L:90%
believe what they do is they're they're adding resources.

1457
01:29:44.619 --> 01:29:47.319 A:middle L:90%
The members of the groups are adding resources. And

1458
01:29:47.329 --> 01:29:49.550 A:middle L:90%
then when they have been fully vetted, they get

1459
01:29:49.560 --> 01:29:53.739 A:middle L:90%
added to the collections. So this is a nice

1460
01:29:53.739 --> 01:29:57.829 A:middle L:90%
way to do that sort of community curation process using

1461
01:29:57.829 --> 01:30:00.850 A:middle L:90%
the groups. And again, they've done the same

1462
01:30:00.850 --> 01:30:08.529 A:middle L:90%
kind of folder in here on the Left. Another

1463
01:30:08.529 --> 01:30:10.640 A:middle L:90%
thing that happens when you get a hub. If

1464
01:30:10.640 --> 01:30:13.590 A:middle L:90%
you are the person who is the administrator of the

1465
01:30:13.590 --> 01:30:15.010 A:middle L:90%
Hub, you have this hub settings link in the

1466
01:30:15.010 --> 01:30:19.350 A:middle L:90%
top right corner, and this allows you to sort

1467
01:30:19.350 --> 01:30:21.819 A:middle L:90%
of control the look and feel of your hub.

1468
01:30:21.819 --> 01:30:24.819 A:middle L:90%
And what is this late there? So I could

1469
01:30:24.819 --> 01:30:27.289 A:middle L:90%
change the title. I can change the description,

1470
01:30:27.760 --> 01:30:30.180 A:middle L:90%
the logo, the cover image. All of this

1471
01:30:30.189 --> 01:30:32.880 A:middle L:90%
is available to the administrator for managing the site.

1472
01:30:33.260 --> 01:30:35.229 A:middle L:90%
Yeah, on the left. Also, they have

1473
01:30:35.229 --> 01:30:39.770 A:middle L:90%
control of their membership so they could make other members

1474
01:30:39.779 --> 01:30:43.470 A:middle L:90%
into administrators. They could add. People remove people

1475
01:30:44.859 --> 01:30:46.289 A:middle L:90%
same for groups they can add. Groups remove groups

1476
01:30:46.289 --> 01:30:49.840 A:middle L:90%
, change the order in which they are displayed collections

1477
01:30:49.840 --> 01:30:55.859 A:middle L:90%
as well, and here with announcements, they can

1478
01:30:55.859 --> 01:30:59.090 A:middle L:90%
push out announcement to all of the members of their

1479
01:30:59.090 --> 01:31:01.149 A:middle L:90%
hub whether they do that only as an announcement that's

1480
01:31:01.149 --> 01:31:03.949 A:middle L:90%
displayed on the page or via email. That is

1481
01:31:03.949 --> 01:31:06.460 A:middle L:90%
the choice, Um, for each announcement, they

1482
01:31:06.460 --> 01:31:10.500 A:middle L:90%
can make that choice. And lastly, what they

1483
01:31:10.500 --> 01:31:13.050 A:middle L:90%
get here are activity reports, which is a nice

1484
01:31:13.050 --> 01:31:17.869 A:middle L:90%
way to measure engagement with their hub activity. Reports

1485
01:31:17.869 --> 01:31:21.729 A:middle L:90%
can be viewed by users by standard alignment, or

1486
01:31:21.729 --> 01:31:28.729 A:middle L:90%
you can filter by groups by user type, and

1487
01:31:28.729 --> 01:31:30.029 A:middle L:90%
you can see how how it's being used. So

1488
01:31:30.029 --> 01:31:33.550 A:middle L:90%
they've got 385 shared resources. 111 saved. You

1489
01:31:33.550 --> 01:31:35.390 A:middle L:90%
can see that all across the top. And then

1490
01:31:35.390 --> 01:31:40.510 A:middle L:90%
there's also some graphical views, and you can see

1491
01:31:40.510 --> 01:31:43.500 A:middle L:90%
them all here, too. And you can export

1492
01:31:43.500 --> 01:31:45.489 A:middle L:90%
those out in CSP if you want it to.

1493
01:31:45.500 --> 01:31:47.470 A:middle L:90%
So a nice way If you are trying to measure

1494
01:31:47.470 --> 01:31:51.359 A:middle L:90%
the engagement with your hub or you want to report

1495
01:31:51.359 --> 01:31:54.880 A:middle L:90%
up to someone else in your in your administration,

1496
01:31:54.890 --> 01:32:00.079 A:middle L:90%
you can do that here, too. Okay,

1497
01:32:01.149 --> 01:32:03.520 A:middle L:90%
that was kind of a whirlwind Lisa. Did I

1498
01:32:03.529 --> 01:32:06.430 A:middle L:90%
forget anything? So I think that was great in

1499
01:32:06.430 --> 01:32:09.500 A:middle L:90%
the time that we have, and I believe that

1500
01:32:09.510 --> 01:32:12.239 A:middle L:90%
you can't ask questions directly here, but you could

1501
01:32:12.239 --> 01:32:14.500 A:middle L:90%
send them into the chat screen. If you'd like

1502
01:32:14.500 --> 01:32:15.439 A:middle L:90%
to ask anything, okay? It doesn't. It

1503
01:32:15.439 --> 01:32:18.260 A:middle L:90%
doesn't appear that there's anything feel free to contact us

1504
01:32:18.449 --> 01:32:21.069 A:middle L:90%
. I'm simply Lisa at isc me dot org and

1505
01:32:21.149 --> 01:32:26.609 A:middle L:90%
India's suspending, and it's dot org. And,

1506
01:32:26.619 --> 01:32:28.779 A:middle L:90%
Anita, thank you very much for your delighted to

1507
01:32:28.789 --> 01:32:30.079 A:middle L:90%
be able to present here this morning with you.

1508
01:32:30.750 --> 01:32:47.670 A:middle L:90%
Yes, Thank you. Hello. This is Hugh

1509
01:32:48.250 --> 01:32:53.840 A:middle L:90%
. Okay, so I'm going to talk about two

1510
01:32:53.840 --> 01:32:59.270 A:middle L:90%
platforms, um, that are related. Um,

1511
01:32:59.279 --> 01:33:02.170 A:middle L:90%
one is the Revis community and the others press books

1512
01:33:02.649 --> 01:33:05.109 A:middle L:90%
. Um, I think I'm gonna start with the

1513
01:33:05.109 --> 01:33:09.649 A:middle L:90%
Revis community. Um, to explain what that is

1514
01:33:09.649 --> 01:33:12.140 A:middle L:90%
and press books is a tool that we're using within

1515
01:33:12.140 --> 01:33:14.390 A:middle L:90%
the religious community, so I can talk a bit

1516
01:33:14.390 --> 01:33:19.289 A:middle L:90%
about that. Um, So the idea behind Revis

1517
01:33:19.300 --> 01:33:23.170 A:middle L:90%
community is that there are a lot of open textbook

1518
01:33:23.170 --> 01:33:27.970 A:middle L:90%
projects happening. Um, generally relatively small projects.

1519
01:33:27.979 --> 01:33:31.140 A:middle L:90%
Um, you know, one book, two books

1520
01:33:31.149 --> 01:33:35.270 A:middle L:90%
, five books creating open textbooks at various campuses around

1521
01:33:35.649 --> 01:33:38.739 A:middle L:90%
, um, well, around the world. Really

1522
01:33:38.750 --> 01:33:42.739 A:middle L:90%
? And the idea behind Revis, um, is

1523
01:33:42.750 --> 01:33:45.260 A:middle L:90%
threefold. Um, first of all to try to

1524
01:33:45.260 --> 01:33:49.090 A:middle L:90%
make a standard, um, community driven process that

1525
01:33:49.090 --> 01:33:55.260 A:middle L:90%
makes sense for creating open textbooks. Um, so

1526
01:33:55.270 --> 01:33:58.600 A:middle L:90%
a lot of times, what's happening is a Usually

1527
01:33:58.600 --> 01:34:00.989 A:middle L:90%
it's a librarian. It gets tasked at a campus

1528
01:34:01.000 --> 01:34:03.779 A:middle L:90%
with running there. But we are a program which

1529
01:34:03.779 --> 01:34:09.449 A:middle L:90%
involves getting adoptions but also helping support creation. And

1530
01:34:09.449 --> 01:34:12.319 A:middle L:90%
that means generally they're having on the creation side to

1531
01:34:12.319 --> 01:34:15.920 A:middle L:90%
sort of invent, um, out of usually thin

1532
01:34:15.920 --> 01:34:18.460 A:middle L:90%
air publishing process for getting up in textbooks out into

1533
01:34:18.460 --> 01:34:20.670 A:middle L:90%
the world. Um, and so the idea was

1534
01:34:20.680 --> 01:34:25.579 A:middle L:90%
Revis is to partner with existing institutions. Um,

1535
01:34:25.590 --> 01:34:28.439 A:middle L:90%
like, uh, someone like Anita, um,

1536
01:34:28.449 --> 01:34:31.340 A:middle L:90%
or any library or any faculty who is creating an

1537
01:34:31.340 --> 01:34:34.250 A:middle L:90%
open textbook, Um, And to help develop a

1538
01:34:34.250 --> 01:34:39.159 A:middle L:90%
process around that, um, eventually to make it

1539
01:34:39.159 --> 01:34:41.810 A:middle L:90%
very clear what the process ought to be, um

1540
01:34:41.810 --> 01:34:45.260 A:middle L:90%
, and build tools to help manage that process.

1541
01:34:45.260 --> 01:34:47.000 A:middle L:90%
So again that it's clear, for instance, that

1542
01:34:47.010 --> 01:34:48.890 A:middle L:90%
at a certain phase you might need to do proof

1543
01:34:48.890 --> 01:34:53.289 A:middle L:90%
reading. Um, you might need to get pure

1544
01:34:53.289 --> 01:34:55.680 A:middle L:90%
review done, etcetera. So build in a set

1545
01:34:55.680 --> 01:35:00.260 A:middle L:90%
of tools to support a workflow for creating open textbooks

1546
01:35:00.640 --> 01:35:02.989 A:middle L:90%
. Um, and finally, all of everything,

1547
01:35:02.989 --> 01:35:05.359 A:middle L:90%
we're doing it. Revis is undergirded by the notion

1548
01:35:05.359 --> 01:35:11.539 A:middle L:90%
that we really need to foster collaboration across different institutions

1549
01:35:11.539 --> 01:35:15.369 A:middle L:90%
to make open textbook creation scalable. So, you

1550
01:35:15.369 --> 01:35:18.569 A:middle L:90%
know, we have, uh, open tax that

1551
01:35:18.579 --> 01:35:21.869 A:middle L:90%
is probably the most famous of the open textbook projects

1552
01:35:23.140 --> 01:35:25.340 A:middle L:90%
. Um, they have a very, uh,

1553
01:35:25.350 --> 01:35:28.189 A:middle L:90%
wonderful program, but it's a very traditional publishing models

1554
01:35:28.189 --> 01:35:30.899 A:middle L:90%
, so the cost is high. Um, and

1555
01:35:30.909 --> 01:35:34.159 A:middle L:90%
and it's it's not really an open publishing process in

1556
01:35:34.159 --> 01:35:38.579 A:middle L:90%
any sense. Um, it's, uh, they've

1557
01:35:38.579 --> 01:35:41.949 A:middle L:90%
approached. It really is a traditional publishing workflow publishing

1558
01:35:41.949 --> 01:35:45.119 A:middle L:90%
process. And at the end of the process,

1559
01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:47.310 A:middle L:90%
you've got open content, which is great, but

1560
01:35:47.319 --> 01:35:49.430 A:middle L:90%
in terms of scalability, the cost is high.

1561
01:35:49.430 --> 01:35:53.840 A:middle L:90%
There in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce

1562
01:35:53.850 --> 01:35:55.760 A:middle L:90%
their textbooks, or at least some of the big

1563
01:35:55.760 --> 01:35:58.819 A:middle L:90%
ones, um, and finding ways to support more

1564
01:35:58.819 --> 01:36:01.460 A:middle L:90%
grassroots open textbook creation is what we're trying to do

1565
01:36:01.460 --> 01:36:04.229 A:middle L:90%
here. So the idea is to develop a process

1566
01:36:04.239 --> 01:36:08.880 A:middle L:90%
around, um, creating open textbooks that is,

1567
01:36:08.890 --> 01:36:12.760 A:middle L:90%
uh, developed with input from the community. Um

1568
01:36:12.770 --> 01:36:15.890 A:middle L:90%
, developed tools and developed, uh, undergrad all

1569
01:36:15.890 --> 01:36:18.739 A:middle L:90%
of that with the idea of collaboration. Um,

1570
01:36:18.750 --> 01:36:24.029 A:middle L:90%
so Revis community at the moment is essentially a discussion

1571
01:36:24.029 --> 01:36:27.199 A:middle L:90%
forum, but we're using it to manage specific projects

1572
01:36:27.199 --> 01:36:30.039 A:middle L:90%
so you can find us here in the U.

1573
01:36:30.039 --> 01:36:32.960 A:middle L:90%
R L is forum dot reviews community. Um,

1574
01:36:34.130 --> 01:36:36.119 A:middle L:90%
and here is, for instance, a list of

1575
01:36:36.159 --> 01:36:39.859 A:middle L:90%
users who signed up and said Hello. So here's

1576
01:36:39.859 --> 01:36:43.550 A:middle L:90%
Julie Ward from University of Oklahoma has got a Spanish

1577
01:36:43.550 --> 01:36:46.109 A:middle L:90%
book. We have David Squires from Washington State.

1578
01:36:46.119 --> 01:36:48.939 A:middle L:90%
There's cereal overland or etcetera. So these are people

1579
01:36:48.939 --> 01:36:53.829 A:middle L:90%
who joined on board and have expressed interest in either

1580
01:36:53.840 --> 01:36:57.659 A:middle L:90%
starting projects or helping out on the projects. Um

1581
01:36:57.659 --> 01:36:59.319 A:middle L:90%
, and again, the idea is that if someone

1582
01:36:59.319 --> 01:37:00.560 A:middle L:90%
at University of Oklahoma is working on a special language

1583
01:37:00.560 --> 01:37:03.409 A:middle L:90%
book, there may well be someone at University of

1584
01:37:03.420 --> 01:37:08.569 A:middle L:90%
, uh, Humboldt State University that would be interested

1585
01:37:08.569 --> 01:37:11.689 A:middle L:90%
in contributing to that. Um, and this is

1586
01:37:11.689 --> 01:37:15.050 A:middle L:90%
really driven by the notion of the open source approach

1587
01:37:15.050 --> 01:37:17.550 A:middle L:90%
to things that, rather than having one person or

1588
01:37:17.550 --> 01:37:19.909 A:middle L:90%
one institution, takes, you know, the whole

1589
01:37:19.909 --> 01:37:21.600 A:middle L:90%
raft of what needs to be done to create an

1590
01:37:21.600 --> 01:37:25.180 A:middle L:90%
open textbook, that we can find ways to break

1591
01:37:25.180 --> 01:37:27.500 A:middle L:90%
up the work, um, and distribute that work

1592
01:37:27.500 --> 01:37:30.640 A:middle L:90%
across a broad swath of people. So we really

1593
01:37:30.640 --> 01:37:34.689 A:middle L:90%
see ourselves as as helping develop the infrastructure. But

1594
01:37:34.699 --> 01:37:38.920 A:middle L:90%
always with this notion that collaboration is the most important

1595
01:37:38.920 --> 01:37:41.079 A:middle L:90%
piece. If we want to get this to work

1596
01:37:41.079 --> 01:37:45.109 A:middle L:90%
at scale. Um, part of what we're doing

1597
01:37:45.109 --> 01:37:47.409 A:middle L:90%
is just helping as we're talking into various people.

1598
01:37:47.420 --> 01:37:50.640 A:middle L:90%
Uh, we're working on open textbook programs, figuring

1599
01:37:50.640 --> 01:37:54.670 A:middle L:90%
out issues that need to be resolved that aren't specific

1600
01:37:54.670 --> 01:37:58.869 A:middle L:90%
to a particular project but are generally important overall.

1601
01:37:58.869 --> 01:38:01.310 A:middle L:90%
So here's a threat where we're working on developing an

1602
01:38:01.310 --> 01:38:06.020 A:middle L:90%
approach community driven approach to accessibility and open textbooks.

1603
01:38:06.020 --> 01:38:10.539 A:middle L:90%
And that means figuring out how we build accessibility into

1604
01:38:10.539 --> 01:38:12.949 A:middle L:90%
the whole offering process from the beginning, rather than

1605
01:38:12.949 --> 01:38:15.430 A:middle L:90%
having it be sort of a gate that you have

1606
01:38:15.430 --> 01:38:17.520 A:middle L:90%
to pass at the end and may require remediation.

1607
01:38:17.529 --> 01:38:19.689 A:middle L:90%
Another issue that's come up is M. O.

1608
01:38:19.689 --> 01:38:23.260 A:middle L:90%
U S and contracts for faculty making. Oh,

1609
01:38:23.260 --> 01:38:26.720 A:middle L:90%
we are. So we're working to develop a set

1610
01:38:26.720 --> 01:38:29.600 A:middle L:90%
of templates around that so that people can take a

1611
01:38:29.600 --> 01:38:32.630 A:middle L:90%
draft template and adapted to their needs. Various other

1612
01:38:32.630 --> 01:38:35.359 A:middle L:90%
issues. Another big one that we're trying to figure

1613
01:38:35.359 --> 01:38:38.970 A:middle L:90%
out is pure review. So how can we build

1614
01:38:38.970 --> 01:38:42.350 A:middle L:90%
your review into the publishing process and just make that

1615
01:38:42.359 --> 01:38:46.500 A:middle L:90%
a formalized piece of the process itself? Very important

1616
01:38:46.500 --> 01:38:49.619 A:middle L:90%
. Everything we're doing thing we try to really work

1617
01:38:49.630 --> 01:38:54.970 A:middle L:90%
as a um a note for collaboration, but working

1618
01:38:54.970 --> 01:38:58.289 A:middle L:90%
with everyone we can work with. So that includes

1619
01:38:58.300 --> 01:39:01.220 A:middle L:90%
other organizations, like the open textbook network, Um

1620
01:39:01.229 --> 01:39:04.949 A:middle L:90%
, other publishers, like open stacks and certainly all

1621
01:39:04.949 --> 01:39:09.800 A:middle L:90%
sorts of libraries. And, um, uh,

1622
01:39:09.810 --> 01:39:14.439 A:middle L:90%
libraries and universities and colleges around the world. Um

1623
01:39:15.420 --> 01:39:16.449 A:middle L:90%
, yeah. So here's just a threat of of

1624
01:39:16.449 --> 01:39:20.439 A:middle L:90%
how we plan to address, uh, the accessibility

1625
01:39:20.439 --> 01:39:24.069 A:middle L:90%
question. Um, and we have a group of

1626
01:39:24.079 --> 01:39:26.600 A:middle L:90%
people, people who are posting and discussing this,

1627
01:39:26.600 --> 01:39:29.909 A:middle L:90%
and then we might break out into other conversations elsewhere

1628
01:39:29.909 --> 01:39:30.000 A:middle L:90%
. And in this case, what we're doing is

1629
01:39:30.000 --> 01:39:33.350 A:middle L:90%
we're taking a, uh, representative open textbook,

1630
01:39:33.350 --> 01:39:35.560 A:middle L:90%
and we're just going to review it. Um,

1631
01:39:35.569 --> 01:39:39.979 A:middle L:90%
So I think about five different experts and accessibility are

1632
01:39:39.979 --> 01:39:45.140 A:middle L:90%
gonna review that open textbook and help develop just at

1633
01:39:45.140 --> 01:39:46.800 A:middle L:90%
least that we have a shared language about approaches to

1634
01:39:46.800 --> 01:39:49.609 A:middle L:90%
this and figure out how we can implement, um

1635
01:39:49.619 --> 01:39:54.600 A:middle L:90%
, systems upstream to help support accessibility. Um,

1636
01:39:54.609 --> 01:39:58.609 A:middle L:90%
that's the discussion peer review, which I think is

1637
01:39:58.609 --> 01:40:00.659 A:middle L:90%
a really critical part of open textbooks. So again

1638
01:40:00.659 --> 01:40:03.729 A:middle L:90%
, we want to identify these sort of public.

1639
01:40:04.510 --> 01:40:06.680 A:middle L:90%
What's your type? Problems within the process of making

1640
01:40:06.680 --> 01:40:11.149 A:middle L:90%
a technical files find ways to solve them that makes

1641
01:40:11.159 --> 01:40:14.869 A:middle L:90%
makes sense. Um, global distributed, collaborative,

1642
01:40:14.880 --> 01:40:17.659 A:middle L:90%
collaborative kind of way. Um, this year is

1643
01:40:17.659 --> 01:40:21.720 A:middle L:90%
a list of our active, open textbook projects that

1644
01:40:21.720 --> 01:40:26.039 A:middle L:90%
we're working on. Um, so we've limited ourselves

1645
01:40:26.039 --> 01:40:29.039 A:middle L:90%
. We're starting with 12 projects. Uh, and

1646
01:40:29.039 --> 01:40:32.470 A:middle L:90%
we doing that something focus on these projects and work

1647
01:40:32.479 --> 01:40:35.409 A:middle L:90%
on generally, we're working on a specific issue within

1648
01:40:35.420 --> 01:40:39.520 A:middle L:90%
each project. Um, you can see the list

1649
01:40:39.520 --> 01:40:41.869 A:middle L:90%
of projects here were working on were working on the

1650
01:40:41.869 --> 01:40:45.520 A:middle L:90%
open anthology of early future planning and implementing a digital

1651
01:40:45.520 --> 01:40:50.609 A:middle L:90%
community. And these projects Good Washington. Um,

1652
01:40:50.619 --> 01:40:54.760 A:middle L:90%
literature, review of education, nursing graduate students with

1653
01:40:54.760 --> 01:41:00.329 A:middle L:90%
Washington state. Um, i'll do some work with

1654
01:41:01.210 --> 01:41:08.500 A:middle L:90%
, uh uh, yeah, mhm and existing.

1655
01:41:08.500 --> 01:41:12.590 A:middle L:90%
So developing some silly materials and help from the idea

1656
01:41:12.590 --> 01:41:17.960 A:middle L:90%
. Really? For us is organizing mhm and hope

1657
01:41:17.960 --> 01:41:20.720 A:middle L:90%
Is that this stuff? Whatever happens here, it

1658
01:41:20.720 --> 01:41:26.159 A:middle L:90%
goes out to the youth. Yeah, of course

1659
01:41:26.170 --> 01:41:31.350 A:middle L:90%
. Um, into all sorts of platforms. And

1660
01:41:31.359 --> 01:41:41.369 A:middle L:90%
if in some cases, were working for from the

1661
01:41:41.369 --> 01:41:45.529 A:middle L:90%
side of the project, So, for instance,

1662
01:41:45.529 --> 01:41:53.619 A:middle L:90%
we have our uh huh, most, um,

1663
01:41:54.609 --> 01:41:58.159 A:middle L:90%
complex projects. Interesting to help. People can do

1664
01:41:58.159 --> 01:42:00.239 A:middle L:90%
it. Uh, we've been able to sense in

1665
01:42:00.239 --> 01:42:03.250 A:middle L:90%
talking. Yeah, I see. There's some notes

1666
01:42:03.250 --> 01:42:05.729 A:middle L:90%
here saying that people are having trouble hearing me.

1667
01:42:09.399 --> 01:42:12.720 A:middle L:90%
And I was like, Okay, now, Okay

1668
01:42:13.899 --> 01:42:20.430 A:middle L:90%
, a few minutes. Okay. Um, okay

1669
01:42:20.430 --> 01:42:23.010 A:middle L:90%
. So I'll continue on. Just keep an eye

1670
01:42:23.010 --> 01:42:26.319 A:middle L:90%
on the chat here if things go wrong with the

1671
01:42:27.000 --> 01:42:29.329 A:middle L:90%
with the audio just to let me know again.

1672
01:42:29.800 --> 01:42:32.050 A:middle L:90%
Um So, as I was saying with the intro

1673
01:42:32.050 --> 01:42:35.250 A:middle L:90%
to philosophy project, which is led by Christina Hendricks

1674
01:42:35.250 --> 01:42:38.750 A:middle L:90%
, sort of University of British Columbia, we really

1675
01:42:38.760 --> 01:42:41.350 A:middle L:90%
were working from the very beginning of the project to

1676
01:42:41.350 --> 01:42:45.319 A:middle L:90%
do everything from helping to develop the table of contents

1677
01:42:45.329 --> 01:42:47.359 A:middle L:90%
, helping to get collaborators on board. Um,

1678
01:42:47.359 --> 01:42:48.970 A:middle L:90%
and we'll just be working all the way through the

1679
01:42:48.970 --> 01:42:54.460 A:middle L:90%
project to help with that, Um, with the

1680
01:42:54.470 --> 01:42:58.359 A:middle L:90%
, uh, history of science and Technology project here

1681
01:42:58.359 --> 01:43:01.380 A:middle L:90%
with, um out of the University of Maryland.

1682
01:43:01.390 --> 01:43:04.489 A:middle L:90%
In that case, there was a very robust,

1683
01:43:04.500 --> 01:43:10.300 A:middle L:90%
um uh, project plan tabled contents. Very clear

1684
01:43:10.300 --> 01:43:12.680 A:middle L:90%
definition of what was going to be in the project

1685
01:43:12.680 --> 01:43:15.090 A:middle L:90%
. There were already 15 collaborators, but there was

1686
01:43:15.090 --> 01:43:16.250 A:middle L:90%
a real need to get more collaborators on board.

1687
01:43:16.250 --> 01:43:19.369 A:middle L:90%
So that's what we've focused on is helping get more

1688
01:43:19.369 --> 01:43:23.590 A:middle L:90%
people on board to help out with that project creating

1689
01:43:23.600 --> 01:43:27.340 A:middle L:90%
sections of that project. Each one is a 1000

1690
01:43:27.340 --> 01:43:30.289 A:middle L:90%
words section, Um, and it's It's really a

1691
01:43:30.289 --> 01:43:32.329 A:middle L:90%
full history of science and technology from, um,

1692
01:43:32.340 --> 01:43:38.119 A:middle L:90%
earliest civilization to today. Um, in another case

1693
01:43:38.130 --> 01:43:41.779 A:middle L:90%
, the Global Regions Project, um, world regional

1694
01:43:41.789 --> 01:43:45.319 A:middle L:90%
geography for globalizing world. Uh, this is a

1695
01:43:45.319 --> 01:43:45.800 A:middle L:90%
project that was originally out of U. C.

1696
01:43:45.800 --> 01:43:49.729 A:middle L:90%
L. A. Um the book had been accepted

1697
01:43:49.729 --> 01:43:54.250 A:middle L:90%
by Oxford University Press, Um, but then got

1698
01:43:54.260 --> 01:43:57.130 A:middle L:90%
the project got canceled. For whatever reason, the

1699
01:43:57.130 --> 01:44:00.739 A:middle L:90%
manuscript is complete. Um, so it's really a

1700
01:44:00.739 --> 01:44:03.029 A:middle L:90%
matter of doing some of the additional sort of latter

1701
01:44:03.029 --> 01:44:08.170 A:middle L:90%
in parts of of the publishing process. So in

1702
01:44:08.170 --> 01:44:10.619 A:middle L:90%
that case, we're working on helping to source,

1703
01:44:10.989 --> 01:44:14.170 A:middle L:90%
um images. Uh, and then we'll be helping

1704
01:44:14.170 --> 01:44:16.050 A:middle L:90%
with peer review and proof reading and formatting. But

1705
01:44:16.050 --> 01:44:18.310 A:middle L:90%
it's it's really the content is already there. It's

1706
01:44:18.310 --> 01:44:20.510 A:middle L:90%
a matter of just adding on to, so we

1707
01:44:20.510 --> 01:44:23.970 A:middle L:90%
have a very kind of open approach to how we

1708
01:44:23.970 --> 01:44:25.689 A:middle L:90%
can help. But the idea is that we should

1709
01:44:25.689 --> 01:44:28.359 A:middle L:90%
be a place, a resource that anyone starting an

1710
01:44:28.359 --> 01:44:30.390 A:middle L:90%
open textbook project can come to the help build out

1711
01:44:30.390 --> 01:44:38.159 A:middle L:90%
the collaboration around that project. Um, I'll show

1712
01:44:38.159 --> 01:44:41.149 A:middle L:90%
you just an example. Right now, we have

1713
01:44:41.149 --> 01:44:45.470 A:middle L:90%
a very basic technology infrastructure here. Our interest is

1714
01:44:45.479 --> 01:44:48.680 A:middle L:90%
figuring out what this ought to look like. And

1715
01:44:48.680 --> 01:44:51.640 A:middle L:90%
we started by just working with projects. And as

1716
01:44:51.640 --> 01:44:56.720 A:middle L:90%
we work along, we're building out more fancy software

1717
01:44:56.720 --> 01:44:59.289 A:middle L:90%
to support this. But this is what we're starting

1718
01:44:59.289 --> 01:45:00.729 A:middle L:90%
with, um, and so the idea here is

1719
01:45:00.729 --> 01:45:04.149 A:middle L:90%
you have some basic project information. Uh, but

1720
01:45:04.149 --> 01:45:08.250 A:middle L:90%
the title who the lead author is, um,

1721
01:45:08.260 --> 01:45:10.630 A:middle L:90%
subjects, etcetera. A little bit of a description

1722
01:45:10.630 --> 01:45:12.899 A:middle L:90%
of what the project is for. And then here

1723
01:45:12.899 --> 01:45:14.609 A:middle L:90%
, this is a key part is help needed.

1724
01:45:14.609 --> 01:45:17.670 A:middle L:90%
So we need authors to to write short introductions to

1725
01:45:17.670 --> 01:45:20.350 A:middle L:90%
eat section. So this is an anthology of public

1726
01:45:20.350 --> 01:45:23.920 A:middle L:90%
domain text. Basically, um, we need copy

1727
01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:27.300 A:middle L:90%
editors and proofreaders and help with formatting, um,

1728
01:45:27.300 --> 01:45:29.920 A:middle L:90%
and then figure out how to get into classrooms.

1729
01:45:30.289 --> 01:45:32.520 A:middle L:90%
Um, and how we're working right now is,

1730
01:45:32.520 --> 01:45:34.500 A:middle L:90%
if you're interested in participating in a project, you

1731
01:45:34.500 --> 01:45:38.579 A:middle L:90%
just post and say, you know, here's that

1732
01:45:38.579 --> 01:45:41.770 A:middle L:90%
love is probably So, um, here's my name

1733
01:45:41.770 --> 01:45:44.750 A:middle L:90%
is Angela Wheeler. I'm a professor, etcetera.

1734
01:45:44.750 --> 01:45:46.550 A:middle L:90%
I'm happy to help out with copy editing, proofreading

1735
01:45:46.550 --> 01:45:48.520 A:middle L:90%
, etcetera. So we just collect a group of

1736
01:45:48.529 --> 01:45:50.539 A:middle L:90%
people who spend a fair bit of time spreading the

1737
01:45:50.539 --> 01:45:54.210 A:middle L:90%
word about these projects to get people engaged. And

1738
01:45:54.210 --> 01:45:57.680 A:middle L:90%
the idea is that rather than producing these books,

1739
01:45:57.680 --> 01:46:00.310 A:middle L:90%
sort of in your own silo working quietly in your

1740
01:46:00.680 --> 01:46:03.840 A:middle L:90%
, um at your desk that open textbooks are gonna

1741
01:46:03.850 --> 01:46:06.170 A:middle L:90%
be a lot more powerful if we can build communities

1742
01:46:06.170 --> 01:46:09.279 A:middle L:90%
around them as they are being produced, rather than

1743
01:46:09.279 --> 01:46:11.199 A:middle L:90%
trying to figure out what happens to them afterwards.

1744
01:46:11.199 --> 01:46:14.680 A:middle L:90%
And so if we have 30 people from 20 different

1745
01:46:14.689 --> 01:46:17.149 A:middle L:90%
institutions who are helping produce a book, the theory

1746
01:46:17.149 --> 01:46:19.449 A:middle L:90%
is that those people are gonna be advocates for that

1747
01:46:19.449 --> 01:46:24.750 A:middle L:90%
book once it gets completed. Um, here's another

1748
01:46:24.750 --> 01:46:29.539 A:middle L:90%
project financial strategy for public Management out of University of

1749
01:46:29.539 --> 01:46:31.539 A:middle L:90%
Washington. In this case, our real focus is

1750
01:46:31.550 --> 01:46:34.720 A:middle L:90%
on peer review. So we're working with Jeff,

1751
01:46:34.720 --> 01:46:39.250 A:middle L:90%
and we are here to develop an approach to peer

1752
01:46:39.250 --> 01:46:41.850 A:middle L:90%
review. And each time we figure out or think

1753
01:46:41.850 --> 01:46:45.800 A:middle L:90%
, we figure out one of these core parts of

1754
01:46:45.880 --> 01:46:47.600 A:middle L:90%
the publishing process that gets built into how we're going

1755
01:46:47.600 --> 01:46:51.590 A:middle L:90%
to be, um, sort of a planning projects

1756
01:46:51.590 --> 01:46:54.920 A:middle L:90%
in the future, And the idea is that eventually

1757
01:46:54.920 --> 01:46:57.899 A:middle L:90%
this becomes an open platform, right Now we've got

1758
01:46:57.909 --> 01:47:00.050 A:middle L:90%
a selected number of projects that we're working on,

1759
01:47:00.050 --> 01:47:03.550 A:middle L:90%
but the idea is that eventually wants the, um

1760
01:47:03.560 --> 01:47:06.579 A:middle L:90%
once we have a clear idea of best practices here

1761
01:47:06.579 --> 01:47:09.649 A:middle L:90%
, we can make this an open platform. So

1762
01:47:09.649 --> 01:47:11.510 A:middle L:90%
anyone can post a project and say, I'd like

1763
01:47:11.510 --> 01:47:13.409 A:middle L:90%
help with this set of things. And the hope

1764
01:47:13.409 --> 01:47:15.710 A:middle L:90%
is that we'll have a wider community of people who

1765
01:47:15.710 --> 01:47:17.220 A:middle L:90%
will already be engaged with us who be interested in

1766
01:47:17.220 --> 01:47:19.100 A:middle L:90%
helping out. For instance, I have an interest

1767
01:47:19.100 --> 01:47:21.810 A:middle L:90%
in biology and open education. So I'd be happy

1768
01:47:21.810 --> 01:47:24.560 A:middle L:90%
to copy, edit if there is such a project

1769
01:47:24.560 --> 01:47:30.000 A:middle L:90%
that comes along mhm. Um Right. Okay,

1770
01:47:30.010 --> 01:47:33.060 A:middle L:90%
so that's Revis. Um, I might take a

1771
01:47:33.060 --> 01:47:36.960 A:middle L:90%
pause right now just to see if anyone has questions

1772
01:47:36.960 --> 01:47:40.880 A:middle L:90%
. I think that has to be done on the

1773
01:47:40.890 --> 01:47:44.039 A:middle L:90%
in the chat here. I'll be moving next to

1774
01:47:44.039 --> 01:47:46.210 A:middle L:90%
talk about press books, which is the tool um

1775
01:47:46.380 --> 01:47:51.180 A:middle L:90%
, that we're using in Ribas to produce the textbooks

1776
01:47:51.180 --> 01:47:54.579 A:middle L:90%
are coming out of this project. So I'm just

1777
01:47:54.579 --> 01:47:56.119 A:middle L:90%
gonna take a quick pause. If anyone has any

1778
01:47:56.119 --> 01:47:59.800 A:middle L:90%
questions, fire away on on the chat. Um

1779
01:47:59.800 --> 01:48:00.659 A:middle L:90%
, and I think I needed I don't know if

1780
01:48:00.659 --> 01:48:04.380 A:middle L:90%
you or someone can confirm I have another 15 or

1781
01:48:04.380 --> 01:48:11.369 A:middle L:90%
20 minutes. Is that right? And if all

1782
01:48:11.369 --> 01:48:13.600 A:middle L:90%
is silent that I may just continue on. Hi

1783
01:48:13.600 --> 01:48:14.920 A:middle L:90%
, Anita. I can see you. Look at

1784
01:48:14.920 --> 01:48:20.489 A:middle L:90%
that. Yeah. Um, okay, maybe I

1785
01:48:20.489 --> 01:48:24.649 A:middle L:90%
don't see any any questions here, so I will

1786
01:48:24.649 --> 01:48:28.939 A:middle L:90%
just jump into press books now. Um, so

1787
01:48:28.939 --> 01:48:31.649 A:middle L:90%
press books, uh, press books is an open

1788
01:48:31.649 --> 01:48:39.279 A:middle L:90%
source book production platform. It's built on top of

1789
01:48:40.069 --> 01:48:45.100 A:middle L:90%
WordPress. So we've taken WordPress and built it out

1790
01:48:45.109 --> 01:48:49.590 A:middle L:90%
as a book production platform. The, um,

1791
01:48:49.970 --> 01:48:55.109 A:middle L:90%
idea is to make a simple way to get nicely

1792
01:48:55.109 --> 01:49:00.229 A:middle L:90%
formatted professional looking PS for print or digital distribution.

1793
01:49:00.239 --> 01:49:04.140 A:middle L:90%
E pubs, um, and Moby for kindle.

1794
01:49:04.149 --> 01:49:08.829 A:middle L:90%
Uh, and all of them all books have by

1795
01:49:08.829 --> 01:49:12.510 A:middle L:90%
default a Web version which can can be or cannot

1796
01:49:12.510 --> 01:49:14.789 A:middle L:90%
be public based on whether you want them to be

1797
01:49:14.800 --> 01:49:16.779 A:middle L:90%
. So again, press books is open Source.

1798
01:49:16.789 --> 01:49:23.100 A:middle L:90%
Um, uh, which I think in The context

1799
01:49:23.100 --> 01:49:26.590 A:middle L:90%
of open textbooks is very important because we can start

1800
01:49:26.590 --> 01:49:30.279 A:middle L:90%
to think about building layers on top of to,

1801
01:49:30.279 --> 01:49:33.420 A:middle L:90%
like, press books based on books that are there

1802
01:49:33.420 --> 01:49:36.149 A:middle L:90%
. So, um, press books is used by

1803
01:49:36.159 --> 01:49:40.680 A:middle L:90%
a number of open textbook projects uh, B C

1804
01:49:40.680 --> 01:49:45.300 A:middle L:90%
campus uses it, uh, learning open. So

1805
01:49:45.300 --> 01:49:48.960 A:middle L:90%
many open Oregon. Um, you can either host

1806
01:49:48.960 --> 01:49:54.319 A:middle L:90%
it yourself or press books can host it for you

1807
01:49:54.329 --> 01:49:58.630 A:middle L:90%
. So we work. So and just for clarity's

1808
01:49:58.640 --> 01:50:01.199 A:middle L:90%
sake, I am the executive director of the grievous

1809
01:50:01.199 --> 01:50:04.840 A:middle L:90%
community, which is a, uh, non profit

1810
01:50:04.850 --> 01:50:08.960 A:middle L:90%
. I am also the and the CEO, founder

1811
01:50:08.960 --> 01:50:11.670 A:middle L:90%
of press books, which is a a very small

1812
01:50:11.670 --> 01:50:15.590 A:middle L:90%
but is technically a commercial software company. Um,

1813
01:50:15.600 --> 01:50:18.970 A:middle L:90%
and so we host and manage systems. For instance

1814
01:50:18.970 --> 01:50:23.270 A:middle L:90%
, the University of Michigan libraries, uh, open

1815
01:50:23.270 --> 01:50:27.470 A:middle L:90%
Oregon State Open, Oregon, Um, a number

1816
01:50:27.470 --> 01:50:31.939 A:middle L:90%
of other institutions as well. Um, so the

1817
01:50:31.939 --> 01:50:34.460 A:middle L:90%
objective behind press books is to make Oh, and

1818
01:50:34.460 --> 01:50:39.079 A:middle L:90%
I'm sorry. And the religious community has, uh

1819
01:50:39.760 --> 01:50:43.149 A:middle L:90%
, press books instance as well that allows people who

1820
01:50:43.149 --> 01:50:45.939 A:middle L:90%
are producing both time, uh, within the readers

1821
01:50:45.939 --> 01:50:48.869 A:middle L:90%
community to access and produce books on press books.

1822
01:50:49.760 --> 01:50:54.819 A:middle L:90%
Um, so this is what a book looks like

1823
01:50:54.829 --> 01:50:58.119 A:middle L:90%
inside press books again, it's built on WordPress.

1824
01:50:58.119 --> 01:51:00.369 A:middle L:90%
So it means that the interface is very familiar if

1825
01:51:00.369 --> 01:51:03.579 A:middle L:90%
you've lived inside of WordPress or work inside of WordPress

1826
01:51:03.590 --> 01:51:06.939 A:middle L:90%
, but it's focused on book production. Um,

1827
01:51:06.939 --> 01:51:10.489 A:middle L:90%
so here, this is Justin Marlowe's book at a

1828
01:51:10.500 --> 01:51:15.529 A:middle L:90%
university Washington Times Financial strategy for public managers. Um

1829
01:51:15.539 --> 01:51:16.760 A:middle L:90%
, that's sort of dashboard. We have a book

1830
01:51:16.760 --> 01:51:23.550 A:middle L:90%
information page which has standard metadata. Um, we're

1831
01:51:23.550 --> 01:51:27.420 A:middle L:90%
going to be extending this metadata module soon to have

1832
01:51:27.420 --> 01:51:31.689 A:middle L:90%
some more robust information. But here it is,

1833
01:51:32.159 --> 01:51:39.890 A:middle L:90%
Um, and this is the, um, the

1834
01:51:39.890 --> 01:51:42.109 A:middle L:90%
book itself. So this is kind of where you

1835
01:51:42.119 --> 01:51:45.050 A:middle L:90%
can manipulate the book. And for instance, you

1836
01:51:45.050 --> 01:51:47.170 A:middle L:90%
can edit a chapter here. Um, and I

1837
01:51:47.170 --> 01:51:48.979 A:middle L:90%
could put in some text, which I won't do

1838
01:51:48.979 --> 01:51:51.329 A:middle L:90%
because this is a live book that belongs to someone

1839
01:51:51.329 --> 01:51:57.060 A:middle L:90%
else. Um, but it's a basic the standard

1840
01:51:57.060 --> 01:52:00.310 A:middle L:90%
WordPress, um, set up, um, so

1841
01:52:00.310 --> 01:52:02.500 A:middle L:90%
it's relatively familiar. We've extended it, for instance

1842
01:52:02.510 --> 01:52:09.229 A:middle L:90%
, with takeaways learning objectives, specific text boxes and

1843
01:52:09.239 --> 01:52:14.170 A:middle L:90%
continue to extend things who support more robust, um

1844
01:52:14.949 --> 01:52:18.979 A:middle L:90%
, open textbook needs. Um, like all wordpress

1845
01:52:18.989 --> 01:52:21.600 A:middle L:90%
, uh, things with WordPress universe we support,

1846
01:52:21.600 --> 01:52:25.970 A:middle L:90%
of course, images and embedded videos, et cetera

1847
01:52:26.850 --> 01:52:30.140 A:middle L:90%
. Um, the exciting thing from my perspective about

1848
01:52:30.149 --> 01:52:34.359 A:middle L:90%
press books or about open textbooks is the fact that

1849
01:52:34.359 --> 01:52:40.649 A:middle L:90%
while there are export versions and we'll show you the

1850
01:52:40.649 --> 01:52:43.760 A:middle L:90%
exports in a second, there's also a fully native

1851
01:52:43.760 --> 01:52:46.890 A:middle L:90%
Web version of every book. And this allows some

1852
01:52:46.890 --> 01:52:50.279 A:middle L:90%
really exciting things in particular. We've been working with

1853
01:52:50.289 --> 01:52:56.420 A:middle L:90%
hypothesis, Um, and here we have a book

1854
01:52:56.430 --> 01:53:00.710 A:middle L:90%
developed by Robin Derosa. Um, and I think

1855
01:53:00.710 --> 01:53:02.500 A:middle L:90%
this is still a private book. I'm not sure

1856
01:53:02.500 --> 01:53:04.989 A:middle L:90%
, but in any case, you can see here

1857
01:53:05.000 --> 01:53:11.159 A:middle L:90%
a set of annotations made by her class as they

1858
01:53:11.159 --> 01:53:12.930 A:middle L:90%
are developing this book. So, Robin, I

1859
01:53:12.930 --> 01:53:14.729 A:middle L:90%
don't know if you're familiar with Robin Rosa. She

1860
01:53:14.729 --> 01:53:17.319 A:middle L:90%
wants that, um, University of New Hampshire or

1861
01:53:17.319 --> 01:53:19.789 A:middle L:90%
Plymouth State. Not quite sure the exact name,

1862
01:53:19.789 --> 01:53:23.699 A:middle L:90%
but University of New Hampshire, Plymouth, Um,

1863
01:53:23.699 --> 01:53:29.100 A:middle L:90%
and she's developed a really exciting practice around open textbook

1864
01:53:29.100 --> 01:53:31.689 A:middle L:90%
creation. So her students actually create these resources,

1865
01:53:31.689 --> 01:53:34.140 A:middle L:90%
and then they work with them and do things like

1866
01:53:34.140 --> 01:53:36.739 A:middle L:90%
annotations. And so, to me, the Web

1867
01:53:36.750 --> 01:53:40.869 A:middle L:90%
web iness of open textbooks is is probably the most

1868
01:53:40.869 --> 01:53:45.670 A:middle L:90%
exciting part of the whole universe. Um, and

1869
01:53:46.250 --> 01:53:48.270 A:middle L:90%
here I can you guys see this? This is

1870
01:53:48.279 --> 01:53:50.779 A:middle L:90%
a financial strategy for public managers. Is that visible

1871
01:53:50.779 --> 01:53:58.529 A:middle L:90%
to everyone? And can anyone here? Yes.

1872
01:53:58.539 --> 01:54:00.800 A:middle L:90%
Okay, so this is, uh, an example

1873
01:54:00.800 --> 01:54:03.489 A:middle L:90%
of the pdf output, Um, which I'm gonna

1874
01:54:03.489 --> 01:54:05.770 A:middle L:90%
work with Justin to make a little bit nicer,

1875
01:54:05.770 --> 01:54:10.060 A:middle L:90%
but it's a standard nice, clean looking PDF output

1876
01:54:10.060 --> 01:54:13.170 A:middle L:90%
that be ready for print. More digital distribution,

1877
01:54:13.170 --> 01:54:15.340 A:middle L:90%
as you like. Um, And the point is

1878
01:54:15.340 --> 01:54:17.909 A:middle L:90%
that building in the web to start means that we

1879
01:54:17.909 --> 01:54:20.380 A:middle L:90%
can get out into all these other formats easily.

1880
01:54:20.380 --> 01:54:23.529 A:middle L:90%
Which is it's not the case. If you're building

1881
01:54:23.529 --> 01:54:26.670 A:middle L:90%
from bird, it's very hard to get into different

1882
01:54:26.670 --> 01:54:30.310 A:middle L:90%
formats. Um, and, you know, pdf

1883
01:54:30.310 --> 01:54:31.439 A:middle L:90%
rinse your starting with P f for in design,

1884
01:54:31.439 --> 01:54:35.869 A:middle L:90%
etcetera. Um, so professional, clean looking output

1885
01:54:36.340 --> 01:54:42.140 A:middle L:90%
. Um, here is one. Um am I

1886
01:54:42.140 --> 01:54:44.960 A:middle L:90%
sharing the whole desktop? If I show you guys

1887
01:54:45.939 --> 01:54:50.689 A:middle L:90%
, please, can you see this? So,

1888
01:54:50.689 --> 01:54:54.460 A:middle L:90%
I got, uh, I should have a pdf

1889
01:54:54.460 --> 01:54:56.449 A:middle L:90%
preview or open. Is that visible to anyone?

1890
01:54:57.539 --> 01:55:00.020 A:middle L:90%
Yes. Okay. Um, so this shows this

1891
01:55:00.020 --> 01:55:01.970 A:middle L:90%
is a There's actually a custom template. Pdf,

1892
01:55:01.979 --> 01:55:06.260 A:middle L:90%
uh, for the Cato Institute, actually. Um

1893
01:55:06.270 --> 01:55:10.260 A:middle L:90%
, so again, the original sort of concept behind

1894
01:55:10.260 --> 01:55:14.890 A:middle L:90%
press books was to make sure we could produce clean

1895
01:55:14.890 --> 01:55:18.060 A:middle L:90%
looking, professional looking. Pdf outputs for, uh

1896
01:55:18.640 --> 01:55:26.670 A:middle L:90%
, for print on demand. Um, and mhm

1897
01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:30.739 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah, associative. Um, but this kind

1898
01:55:30.739 --> 01:55:33.930 A:middle L:90%
of web print a pub is really the place where

1899
01:55:33.930 --> 01:55:36.640 A:middle L:90%
we are excited. Is that the fact that these

1900
01:55:36.640 --> 01:55:40.619 A:middle L:90%
things can live simply aimlessly in all those kinds of

1901
01:55:40.619 --> 01:55:43.229 A:middle L:90%
outputs. Uh, there's some work we do with

1902
01:55:43.239 --> 01:55:45.569 A:middle L:90%
tough school of medicine. So they have their whole

1903
01:55:45.579 --> 01:55:48.180 A:middle L:90%
set of Silla by which tend to be 250 to

1904
01:55:48.180 --> 01:55:51.699 A:middle L:90%
300 page books, essentially textbooks. But their sell

1905
01:55:51.699 --> 01:55:56.430 A:middle L:90%
by, um And so this is a more sort

1906
01:55:56.430 --> 01:55:59.340 A:middle L:90%
of textbook you looking output. But it's nice and

1907
01:55:59.340 --> 01:56:00.909 A:middle L:90%
clean, and and they went from having all of

1908
01:56:00.909 --> 01:56:04.399 A:middle L:90%
this content in word files, um, which was

1909
01:56:04.409 --> 01:56:09.220 A:middle L:90%
kind of chaotic to update and look all that great

1910
01:56:09.229 --> 01:56:11.810 A:middle L:90%
to having a standardized look and feel for all their

1911
01:56:11.810 --> 01:56:13.970 A:middle L:90%
outputs across all there. I think they have 50

1912
01:56:13.970 --> 01:56:16.770 A:middle L:90%
or 60 different versions of the syllabi. Um,

1913
01:56:16.779 --> 01:56:18.460 A:middle L:90%
but the nice thing is that you then have to

1914
01:56:18.460 --> 01:56:21.750 A:middle L:90%
know what based system that can be updated easily by

1915
01:56:21.760 --> 01:56:27.560 A:middle L:90%
anyway. Um, and I think that's that's more

1916
01:56:27.560 --> 01:56:30.000 A:middle L:90%
or less the run of press books. Um,

1917
01:56:30.010 --> 01:56:32.659 A:middle L:90%
I'll be happy to take questions if there are any

1918
01:56:32.670 --> 01:56:35.710 A:middle L:90%
about either. What we're doing Revis around sort of

1919
01:56:35.710 --> 01:56:41.220 A:middle L:90%
building communities of collaboration for creating this stuff or press

1920
01:56:41.220 --> 01:56:43.720 A:middle L:90%
books, which is, uh, a piece of

1921
01:56:43.720 --> 01:56:45.750 A:middle L:90%
that creation part, um, which is a tool

1922
01:56:46.130 --> 01:56:53.090 A:middle L:90%
it can produce books for you. Um, yes

1923
01:56:53.100 --> 01:56:55.460 A:middle L:90%
. There you go. So open to questions.

1924
01:56:55.470 --> 01:56:59.579 A:middle L:90%
Um, if anyone has any good. Thank you

1925
01:56:59.590 --> 01:57:00.109 A:middle L:90%
you very much. I don't know if you can

1926
01:57:00.109 --> 01:57:01.569 A:middle L:90%
hear me. Can you hear me? Can?

1927
01:57:01.569 --> 01:57:05.029 A:middle L:90%
Yes. Good. Okay. I apologize for the

1928
01:57:05.029 --> 01:57:08.289 A:middle L:90%
lack of introduction. The people in the room got

1929
01:57:08.289 --> 01:57:11.770 A:middle L:90%
one, but you just know when online heard it

1930
01:57:11.779 --> 01:57:15.340 A:middle L:90%
. Okay. Are there questions either from folks in

1931
01:57:15.340 --> 01:57:19.010 A:middle L:90%
the room or folks online? You can add them

1932
01:57:19.010 --> 01:57:28.449 A:middle L:90%
to the chat, please. And thanks. I

1933
01:57:28.449 --> 01:57:30.130 A:middle L:90%
hear this is Robert. Uh, I like the

1934
01:57:30.130 --> 01:57:32.659 A:middle L:90%
looks of press books quite a bit. Have any

1935
01:57:32.659 --> 01:57:36.710 A:middle L:90%
, uh, late check compatibility? Um, that's

1936
01:57:36.710 --> 01:57:39.630 A:middle L:90%
a little bit of a thorn in our side,

1937
01:57:39.640 --> 01:57:43.810 A:middle L:90%
so, yes, but not amazing. Um,

1938
01:57:43.819 --> 01:57:46.409 A:middle L:90%
it's kind of a key area of development that we

1939
01:57:46.420 --> 01:57:50.930 A:middle L:90%
are looking at. So currently we support, um

1940
01:57:50.939 --> 01:57:55.720 A:middle L:90%
, late check, uh, in a fairly lightweight

1941
01:57:55.720 --> 01:57:58.819 A:middle L:90%
, but you can write latex equations within the press

1942
01:57:58.819 --> 01:58:00.239 A:middle L:90%
book system. Let me see if I can just

1943
01:58:00.250 --> 01:58:01.770 A:middle L:90%
demo that for you. I won't do it in

1944
01:58:01.770 --> 01:58:08.739 A:middle L:90%
this book. Testable carriage Hope cat. Um,

1945
01:58:11.020 --> 01:58:16.130 A:middle L:90%
so if I'm not mistaken, I do something like

1946
01:58:16.140 --> 01:58:25.890 A:middle L:90%
, um, equals and see squared. So something

1947
01:58:25.890 --> 01:58:28.960 A:middle L:90%
like this. So it's It's not a full compatibility

1948
01:58:28.960 --> 01:58:34.020 A:middle L:90%
of a whole ATEC output, but, um,

1949
01:58:34.079 --> 01:58:38.859 A:middle L:90%
work. Yeah, so there you see if you

1950
01:58:38.859 --> 01:58:40.220 A:middle L:90%
can see on the screen there. But there's been

1951
01:58:40.220 --> 01:58:42.789 A:middle L:90%
a a late check conversion of that. So So

1952
01:58:42.789 --> 01:58:45.890 A:middle L:90%
we, um, it's kind of an area where

1953
01:58:45.899 --> 01:58:48.869 A:middle L:90%
it's clearly critical as we moved from on the press

1954
01:58:48.869 --> 01:58:53.340 A:middle L:90%
book side, you know, supporting primarily, um

1955
01:58:53.340 --> 01:58:58.149 A:middle L:90%
, self published authors and more scholarly monographs on the

1956
01:58:58.149 --> 01:59:00.770 A:middle L:90%
humanity humanity side. As we're moving more and open

1957
01:59:00.770 --> 01:59:02.930 A:middle L:90%
textbook, it's becoming a critical piece that we know

1958
01:59:02.930 --> 01:59:04.899 A:middle L:90%
we need to support better. So work is being

1959
01:59:04.899 --> 01:59:09.779 A:middle L:90%
done to address that. But currently, the answer

1960
01:59:09.779 --> 01:59:12.699 A:middle L:90%
is, we sort of supported, but not with

1961
01:59:12.699 --> 01:59:15.859 A:middle L:90%
a lot of, uh, not with a lot

1962
01:59:15.859 --> 01:59:17.180 A:middle L:90%
of, uh let's see anything that makes me very

1963
01:59:17.180 --> 01:59:20.500 A:middle L:90%
happy at the moment. Mhm. All right.

1964
01:59:20.510 --> 01:59:31.319 A:middle L:90%
Thanks a lot. Other questions. Mhm and okay

1965
01:59:31.329 --> 01:59:33.050 A:middle L:90%
. Uh, well, thank you very, very

1966
01:59:33.050 --> 01:59:36.239 A:middle L:90%
much. Um, all of you for sticking around

1967
01:59:36.250 --> 01:59:40.489 A:middle L:90%
. Thank you to you for your time and for

1968
01:59:40.489 --> 01:59:43.819 A:middle L:90%
showing us what press books can do. And about

1969
01:59:43.819 --> 01:59:47.250 A:middle L:90%
the religious community and the support available there. So

1970
01:59:47.260 --> 01:59:48.739 A:middle L:90%
we are all done
