Needs & Interest Assessment done by 12/12
Platform research is ongoing. Meeting to discuss platforms with appropriate tech people needs to have during last on hand days Fall 18. Tentatively scheduled for 12/10
Checklist 3 – the actual writing – will happen over the Spring 19 semester, with multiple workshops in the computer lab. Assuming I can find someone else who wants to do this with me. 🙂 Except informing students about licensing – that needs to happen before Thanksgiving.
CHECKLIST 1: Assess what I already have
| Completed | Task | Timeline | Notes |
| Organize and inventory current OER documents that I have already made | This needs to be done by Dec 12 | ||
| Research the licensing on the OER resources I did not make | This needs to be done by Dec 12 | ||
| Research current OER English comp offerings online | This needs to be done by Dec 12 | Jefferson CC has some good comp. Discuss Lumen with other faculty so we don’t do what they did. |
CHECKLIST 2: Assess interest
| Completed | Task | Details | Notes |
| Contact other ALP instructors who are interested in OER | This needs to be done by Dec 12 | MM, JP, CH | |
| Contact the OER committee for information on platforms in-house | This needs to be done by Dec 12 | K. Blanchett | |
| Consult with K. Blanchett on platforms that are free or that the college will pay for | This needs to be done by Dec 12 | Consider the recent email – can I ask students to work in a platform that is not closed without violating some security rule. Find out who to ask. |
CHECKLIST 3: Writing
| Completed | Task | Details | Notes |
| Writing | Topics for Content:
Rhetorical Triangle Appeals Fallacies One article for essay 1 (this is a teaching essay) Argumentation Topics for Writing The writer’s guide already meets acceptable licensing. |
Topics for Content:
Consider UDL principles here – make sure there are videos, images, and documents that can be read by a screen reader. Topics for Writing Check all links, find updated videos |
|
| Update Handouts | All handouts done in MS word have to be updated so they can read by a screen reader. | I’m not the only one; maybe we could do a college hour workshop in the lab to update documents. And/or trade them! This could be like a Pokemon card swap! | |
| Citations and attributions | Citation:
Citation style Reference list placement Attribution: Attribution statement style Placement |
This could be another workshop. | |
| Find resources (images, multimedia) | We need to gather and organize what we already have.
|
Discuss licensing with certain current students who will allow us to use their work as models. | |
| Add resources | Assigned to: MM & JP
Plan: Schedule |
||
| Ensure all resources are open | Assigned to: all of us
Plan: Schedule |
||
| Fixer | This could happen with proofing | This will be done over summer 19. |
