 Wait, this is being recorded. Surprise, Spencer. I know I agree. I consented to all of the everything I do. I'm following the conduct code. But I didn't know that, I thought this was like a, you know, informal hangout. And now here we go. Now I got to, I guess you change out of my hoodie. I know. And listen, I feel the same way. I want to kind of spruced up a little bit. Yeah. My God. Well, I mean, we can always. Haley to stop the recording. I think we'll be okay. So welcome, everybody. Welcome to the Thursday. I mean, Wednesday. Gosh, second time, the Wednesday. Like show, we've got one more. We'll do this again on Thursday. So I hope. Thursday, Thursday. We'll see you tomorrow, Thursday. But today it's Wednesday, so we just have to make it through this one. So we have another late breaking news announcement tonight. Yeah, congratulations to Raya and Emma who won our trivia contest. Officially the smartest people at the conference. Congratulations. Amazing. I don't know what your prize is, but congratulations. Yes, organized by Tina and Amelia. Thank you, Tina and Amelia. And Raya won the T-shirt. Nicole says it's a T-shirt. Very good. And Raya won the taco competition. So you're on a roll. On a roll. On fire. OK, let's see. So we will be using Menti tonight. So everyone who wants to participate that way can go to Menti.com and enter the code that's at the top of the screen for some of the fun voting. I do want to go through introductions first. So hi, I'm Emily Reagan. I'm hosting our late show. I'm at Metropolitan State University of Denver and also have served on the Steering Committee for OpenED20. So this is my fun little contribution to the conference. And I have a lovely co-host, Hailey. Yeah, hi, everyone. My name's Hailey Bab. I'm one of the open education coordinators for Spark's open education team. And I've been working on the conference organizing team. I'm based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. So nice to be here with you all tonight. And I have three lovely guests. So first, Bob, would you be willing to introduce yourself? No. Hi, my name is Bob Awkward. Yes, this is just the way it's spelled on the screen is my last name. And no, I'm not. So we'll take care of that. I'm in the love of state and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at the Department of Higher Education and the OER coordinator for our public institutions and on the program committee. And I'm here hanging out with this crew and all of you. Awesome. Thank you, Bob. And then next up is Spencer. Hey, everybody. My name's Spencer. And I'm from the Commonwealth of Colorado. Actually, I don't think we're Commonwealth. Are we? We're only three. There's only three. Oh, that's a trivia question for tomorrow. Raya, no cheating. One, two, three, four. There's four common laws. There's four common laws. Maybe we can determine what those are by the end of the session. I have a similar job to Bob. Actually, one time we were at a conference and Bob and I sat down and we started speaking the same kind of language. And we were like, wait a minute, we kind of got the same job. So I work at the Department of Higher Ed in Colorado. And I'm happy to be here with you all. Thanks for letting me join. Fantastic. And last but not least, we have Jonathan. Hi, I'm the only one who got the sartorial notification. We're supposed to wear a gray shirt and a red scarf. Apparently the morning session was all in uniform. And so this is my attempt. Anyway, I'm Jonathan Portz. I'm in the math department at Colorado State University Pueblos. There's a bunch of Coloradans. I'm, I think, the farthest south in Colorado of this group of people. But, and I'm also the OER coordinator on the state of Colorado State University Pueblos. And I've been on helping in a very minor role. I don't know what the name of the team I was on was program team or something. Anyway, but I've got to do some volunteer work with, got to host a session several times so far. It's been a lot of fun. Yes, you've been very helpful, Jonathan. Yeah, you and Bob both were on the program team. And yeah, that was, I really appreciate it. And you guys have been working as session hosts and doing lots of cool things. OK, so we have some chances for audience participation here. So hopefully you've been able to get into mentee or you can hop on using that code there at the top. So how is your conference experience going? And thank you to Nicole for letting me adapt these fun slides that had been used previously at some of the community meetings that some of you may have attended. Do I need to do something to display? There we go. There we go. Brainful, yes. I know that's right. And we like the corgis. Nass pace, yes. The avalanche is going to catch up with us. And Bob loves that cat right there. Whoa. Now I like Elmo, yeah. That's what I picked. Elmo's world. Oh, man, that's a throwback. Who's that guy that's exploding brain? Is that somebody famous? Isn't that Alan Rickman? I honestly don't know. So anyone else want to chime in as to who? I'm Googling it. OK, fantastic. Who is it? Google will let us know. OK. Google's on the case. I will report back. Fantastic. OK, well, I'm going to move on. This is kind of a more even distribution, I think, than we've seen. I mean, I haven't asked this exact question before, but we're in a lot of different places is what I'm getting from this. OK, let's see here. OK. Advance our little slide. So now you have a chance to enter a single word, although you can do it multiple times. So if you have multiple words, you just cannot help but share. That's available to you. And we'll see if I need to. There we go. Busy. Yes. Adult switch sketch comedy theories. Uplifting, distracted, welcoming, pondering, like the thoughtful that's misspelled, I think. That's that's me typing. That wasn't literally me, but it could have been me. Fun. Oh, fun is big. I like it. It's big. Multiple people voted for fun. That's awesome. It's holding. This is Kathy. I'm down on one screen, but if someone could type in amazed into them at tea, so that that's at least captured. Thank you. Thank you. I'm someone can do that. There we go. Here. Maze. Oh, now it's now it's. Now we've all done this. Oh, I love it. Fantastic. That's super fun. Yeah. Crowdsourced, I guess. I'm totally amazed. It's beautiful. OK. Well, thank you all. Coffee. Yes, thank you. OK. And then finally, kind of our free response part. So what is the highlight of something? And it can be from today. It can be from earlier in the conference if that's what's really sticking with you in this moment. You know, make this what you want. Honestly, if you saw something amazing that you think other people need to go back and see, everything's being recorded, right? So this is a great chance to, you know, let us know what we need to go back and watch if we missed it. Oh, Discord and the plenary sessions. I know I have really, really been enjoying the plenary sessions every single day. They're awesome in their own way among us. I missed among us. Oh, we need an update from that. Oh, that's great, Nicole. Yeah, my favorite part of the day was Nicole's mom coming to the session. Oh, that was so cute. Yeah, among us is in here multiple times. It's a more interactive stat book. Oh, yeah, the Miha keynote. Absolutely. OK, I missed Nicole's mom coming. What was that? She just came to watch one of her presentations and it was very wholesome. That is so cool. I missed that too. That's fantastic. It was wholesome? It was very nice. Like part of me. The science is not my thing session is amazing, so nice. That's one I want to go catch up with. But did it make you more or less nervous, Nicole, to have your mom come to your session? Why did I mention this? No, it was really nice. And I was just thinking about it. Like my mom has never seen me present before in all of the years and all of the places and all of the conferences. But because this was virtual, it was possible. I was thinking. Yeah, one of the ways. Yeah, like, what is it that my daughter does at these things? That's cool. Yeah, getting connected with people, open pet incubator. The science is not my thing. It's popped up a lot in the Miha keynote. Yes, well, so anyone else? See if there's anything new coming in at the end. And then we're going to we're going to move forward. And the picture I found for today is is open to interpretation. Jonathan's first thought was we hit the wall. But I'm really like these are people that are like kind of curious and listening. And I don't know if I just ran across it. I thought it was a fun photo. So this is supposed to help us generate some discussion. And my my crew is is ready to just kind of free form some conversation here. Oh, man, I want to know what the inspiration is behind behind this art. I like that. We started going down a rabbit hole trying to find out where this sculpture came from. And it wasn't a very deep rabbit hole. We kind of like Jonathan did a fancy image search that we ran into a website that we couldn't understand 404 air. And then we start talking about something else. I think we all have really short attention spans. Well, I know I do. Deep for myself. No, I think you say we found it was in Indonesia. Not sure where yet. But yeah, it seemed to be I did a reverse Google image search and it seems like what the on Google image seemed to come up from some website that I mean, I've seen a lot of Indonesian recently, I had as there was a person who is in the creative I'm a facilitator for the Creative Commons certificate course and there have been lots of people who come to it from other countries and we let them submit lots of things in their own countries in their own native language. And so I've been doing a lot of Google translate of long essays written in Indonesian and then to try to grade them or give feedback. And so I've seen a lot of Indonesian lately. So it looked like this is an Indonesian website. I'm going to quit sharing just because I think this has provoked our got the wheels turning and now we can just kind of chat with each other. So like Jonathan, what what do you tell people about the Creative Commons class? Like if people are like, should I take it? Should I not? What is it? Do you have an elevator pitch or something for it? Good. And now I'm going to follow on to him, too. You know, I it's funny, I just got into a little bit of trouble on Twitter because a mathematician I know posted a link to a book. He said it's a great free book on a very complicated mathematical thing. And I looked and I followed the link and it was a it looked like one of those PDFs that someone scanned an entire book and just posted on the net. It had a copyright statement on the second page that said copyright some name 1977. And I said, I replied, I couldn't believe that this man had just posted something which is quite illegal to do, you know, making a public trend, you know, publicly distributing a copy of copyrighted material is really not kosher. And so I tweeted back to him, I actually know this guy and I said, what do you what do you mean by free? And I was hoping he would say, oh, it's actually been released with a Creative Commons license more recently. And so he never replied by which I take it that he hadn't thought about this and was embarrassed to have posted a link to an illegal copy. So I feel like the Creative Commons courses is to me it's it's like, if you were a doctor, you'd learn something about medical malpractice law. You know, I'm an academic, everything I do is writing and reading and my students write and we need to know about these rules for, you know, what is what we're allowed to share and the rules, unfortunately, are pretty restrictive. And just in the Bayer copyright law and but there's this nice hack that comes from around 2000 of Creative Commons licenses. And so I feel like it's a tool that makes us twist intellectual property law to be more in use more useful to the academics, the educational worlds and many other worlds too. But I know academia better than others. And so I think it's a great thing to do. My wife sort of yelled at me, she said, you're assuming everyone knows all this Creative Commons stuff and you should have just kept your mouth shut and I'll let this guy post this illegal copy of that book. And anyway, I think it's a great course. And the other great thing about the Creative Commons world is it's a little bit like the open-aid community. It's it's a very collaborative, supportive group. People can share insights and communications. I think someone some there've been some great presentations in open-ed about diversity of viewpoints makes it richer, makes us better understanding each other, understanding our students and see solutions that someone else has dreamt up in Indonesia to the problem of getting through a brick wall or, you know, and I think it so the Creative Commons is also very global community just like the open education community. It's nice to meet these people and I now have friends I regularly correspond with on seven, no six confidence that I've met through the Creative Commons world. So that's not an elevator pitch, but unless we're going up a long distance. And then Bob, you wanted to chime in. Well, only because the yucca and all of this and I just saw another connection point here on the screen is that I just took this course with Jonathan this summer and so did Sarah. You know, I wonder why your name is so familiar. When I saw you at the Plenary Recession on Monday, he's like, that's why. So I am going to make the elevator pitch or make the pitch for the program. It is excellent, is excellent. You know, I, one of my folks here in Massachusetts does presentations and he usually does the part of the presentation on the on the legal piece, etc. And I've always was impressed with like, how does he know this stuff? And then I took the Creative Commons course and now I know how he know that stuff. If you want to know that stuff, you need to take that course because you really get exposed to the, you know, the whole, you know, get to go behind the scenes and understand the underpinnings that supports all of this work that we do. So, but let me caution you, it is a lot of work. I'm not going to say it's not. It is a lot of work. And I think Sarah, we're Sarah and she just moved. She agreed. It's good because that's why you learn, but it is a lot of work. But when you get to the end of the line, it's like, wow, wow, this is all the stuff I never knew. But you need to know this if you're in this space. Let's see the link to the Creative Commons stuff or the link to the, there we go. Okay, so how many people here have taken the Creative Commons course? I'm actually taking it right now. Are you? Yeah. So I haven't completed it, but I'm, I have a question. I'm sorry, I'm late to this. I don't know how to do it because I don't know anybody to sponsor or vouch for me to even to do that part. And I said, I don't know anybody. I try to look for anybody. How do I go past that? So that's for joining the global Commons or what is that called? Right. Help us out with that. Yeah, it's called the global network. And you need to have two people who are in the network to vouch for you. But yeah, I usually just sort of vouch for anybody who asked me, but they yelled at me for doing that. So I guess you should find something to actually know. I looked through all of them and I, there wasn't anybody, I mean, that's kind of sad that I couldn't find anyone that has gone through that. And this is my exploration to, I think, for OER. And I'm really excited about this process. And I saw about the Creative Commons certificate. It's $500, but I think it's really worth it. And I saw that it might be a scholarship with it. And I said, oh, OK, well, they give, they wrote in that there is a part of it where if you were a Creative Commons global network, then they'll give more of a... Oh, is it necessary to be in the network to get one of the scholarships? Yes. Well, not, they'll give more of a shot for those who are in it. And so that led me to the network. And then I was like, there's nobody in the network. I know. Are you located in the US? In San Antonio, Texas, San Antonio College. And we're just exploring OER like that. Yeah. A lot of the country chapters of the Creative Commons will sponsor some of the people in their country chapter. But I think the US country chapter is a little bit non-existent because... I'm going to do this kind of... Yeah. Yeah. The emoji of... Someone pointed out in the chat that being the Creative Commons, all the materials for the course are publicly released with a CC by license. So if you wanted to self-educate, you can go through those materials and you don't get with this sort of official certificate at the end of that process, but you could get all the knowledge yourself by going through it. You know, another thing you could try is there's a slack. There's a big slack. And it has a lot of different groups that are interested in different things. So if you go get involved and maybe meet a couple of people who are interested in those same topics that you're interested in, then you might be able to work it that way. And it's open for anyone to join that slack for Creative Commons Global. I hate to interrupt, folks. We only have about two minutes left. I know that went by so fast. I lost track of the time as well. But I want to make sure that we touch on some of the highlights that we have for the next day before we go so everybody all has the same information. So up next, we've got a couple of things coming up both tomorrow and Friday. On Thursday, we have a fantastic plenary session planned. So that's going to be applications of open education and social justice inclusion and anti-racism. So be sure to attend that from 4 to 4.25 Eastern. Should be, yeah, Nicole says, seriously, go to this. I'm really, really excited. It looks like it's going to be fantastic. Perfect. And then as usual, we have a few more sort of like asynchronous talks and content available. If you're still needing more tonight and you want a little bit more to go through, there's too many on there for you to be able to watch every single one. I mean, unless you're really committed, good for you. But of the ones that you do watch, be sure to vote for your top three favorites. We have a little feature to be able to do that under the 2020 tab on our website. And the link to do that is right below here too. And then I think we have a couple more, just like just for fun sessions coming up tomorrow. So we have the V Connecting going on at tea time from 1.30 to 1.55. This is all in Eastern time, as well as yoga again tomorrow. So if you missed it the first time, there was a lot of hype. Definitely try to come tomorrow. Is that it or? Oh, yeah. Oh, oh my gosh. How could I forget? And Kara OER V. So that's going to be tomorrow at 7.30 Eastern. And that is going to be the must attend event of the conference. So definitely encourage you all to come join us and have some fun. Yeah, that's going to be right after our last late show. And we're going to be doing wine tasting with Nicole Allen and Daniel Williamson tomorrow. And so that's going to be awesome. So you can come, bring your own wine, we'll do wine tasting, and then you can go do your Kara OER Oki. Does Sarah have her hand up? I'm thinking some people's hands are still up from when I asked about the creative moments. But yeah, this is like our last moment together. But come back tomorrow for the early show with Amy Tan. And I know they're having a lot of fun with that. Amy, you saw how Jonathan and I matched. Do you say that? Or did you take off your scarf, Jonathan? I'm just saying, there were four of us and we were all wearing red. You all look very nice. Very nice. Well, thank you all for joining us. I hope you had another fun and full day at the conference. Like you can see tomorrow's going to be another fantastic day. And we look forward to seeing you all then. Thanks, Emily.
