 Okay, well welcome everyone. This is Una Daly from CCCOER, of course, and welcome to our first webinar of fall 2019. And I'd like to let you know that this particular webinar is introducing you to some of the things we do here at CCCOER and all of the amazing people who make this possible and starting with my executive counsel. So we're going to use a couple of interactive tools today to illustrate the work that we do and we've got many speakers who are piping in. So the first thing we'd like to ask you to do, if possible, is tell us where you're from. We're going to do an interactive map and there's a bitly here to make it a little bit easier. It's bitly capital W where and then CCCOER all in caps and I'm typing that into the chat window as well so you can click on that and if you'll just put your city and state in there it's completely anonymous but it'll be fun and we will show you a map of where all of you are located a little bit later in the webinar. All righty. Do we go on to the next slide Lisa? All right I want to introduce our not only our moderators for today but also our new co-presidents of CCCOER, the executive counsel and our first co-president here is Lisa Young. She is the faculty director for the Center for Teaching and Learning at Scottsdale Community College. She's also been one of the co-leaders of the Maricopa Community College Millions Project, the OER Millions Project, which I think many of you know and is active in several other OER projects this year as well. Do you want to say hi Lisa? Hi everybody. Okay we'll hear more from Lisa in a moment and then second up is Sue Tashgian who is the coordinator of Instructional Technology and Online Learning at Northern Essex Community College. She's also been co-leader of the Massachusetts Go Open Community College movement which has now become a statewide movement including all higher ed and she's active on a lot of different OER projects. Sue would you like to say hi? Hi everyone. Sorry my webcam is not working so all right. We'll see. Black Fox. Yeah thank you though. Lisa and Sue are going to take us through some some activities in just a moment. So next slide Lisa. All right but behind all of those those two amazing ladies we have a full executive counsel and I'm just gonna very briefly go through we the names and we're gonna let you read these later because we don't want to spend too much time on our executive counsel but we've got Matthew Bloom, Cindy DeMica, Michael Mills, Gene Runyon, Halsey Smith, Nathan Smith and Nikki Thubbs along with our professional development subcommittee, Phillip Anaya, Ted Intara Bumrung and Suzanne Wakeham and on our special projects committee we have Brittany Dudak, Lori Beth Larson and Elaine Farrelly-Plaude. So big team and helping us get all this work done and helping to support you in the OER working. Thank you Lisa. So for those of you this might be your first webinar and it would be kind of interesting if this is your first webinar you might indicate that in the chat window to us. The first webinar with CCC OER we do monthly webinars from August through June focused on OER thought leaders, practitioners, students, all the stakeholders involved in OER at community colleges and four year colleges as well in universities. And I think those of you who have been with us before you should see that this mission has continued for a long time. One thing I would point out is that we're looking at providing more regional and statewide leadership for open education. We're launching some of that this fall. But ultimately this is about helping faculty to find high quality OERs to help their students be successful. We've been doing this for over 10 years and now I just wanted to show you a quick map. This is not this is not the interactive map but this is a map of our members throughout the country and we are in 34 states and we are very excited with all of these amazing members and the projects they're doing. You can look this up on our website. You can go under about on the cccoer.org website and look at members and when you click on our members you can see what their OER projects are. So our new members this summer Chippewa Valley Technical College in Wisconsin, Des Moines Area Community College in Iowa, Pima Community College in Arizona and East Los Angeles College in California. So welcome to our new members who just joined us this summer. All right Lisa I'm going to turn this over to you now. Fantastic. I'm back and glad to have you all here and thank you. I know a number of you have already introduced yourself in the chat window. If you have not please do so. And that way everybody can get to know each other and we really wanted to make this kind of social and fun and interactive and so one of the things we wanted to do was look at where are we? Where are we located and you know who's on this webinar right now? So I'm going to see if technology will work for us and I'm going to do some fancy sharing here now and see what happens. And you should see a map of the United States. Can you? Yes. Yes. Fantastic. So doesn't your phone always ring when you're doing the webinar? So this is where all of you are in the United States. Now we may also have some members from Canada. Our map is reflected in Canada but we just thought this was a great way to see where we're all calling from. So some of you are on lunch and some of you are almost ready to go home and we have people in the middle here and we're able to see where we're all calling from. We definitely need to have some work to do on membership in the middle of the country a bit but we're so happy that all of you are able to join us today. So now I'm going to do the fancy sharing back so let's see how this works. And there we go. So I'm going to drive and introduce my co-president Sue who's going to be sharing an activity with you in Padlet so that you can get a good idea of what we do at CCC OER. So Sue I'm going to do the fancy sharing. One is going to be putting the URL into the chat window and Sue is going to take it away. All right thank you Lisa. So CCC OER offers support to colleges in many ways and we thought this would be a fun way to show the type of support that we offer so we're presenting the topics on a Padlet and Una just typed that into the chat. So Padlet's an application used to create an online bulletin board that you can display information for any topic. They're great to use for teaching, for collaborating, gathering ideas, sharing them. So it's a living breathing web page that anyone can add links to YouTube videos, files and images. So please like Lisa said we wanted to make this interactive so please add your comments, likes, ideas, links and we'll share this out with you all after the after the webinar. You don't need to be logged in to participate and to add a comment, web link, image or video just click on the plus sign at the bottom of the column. So we've split the columns up into different areas and members of our team are going to present the different areas. So I'd like to start off with professional development and Matthew Bloom and Nathan Smith are going to talk about the webinars and the professional development opportunities that we offer. So Nick. All right, yep. Hello everyone. You want to, I can start out Matthew or you want to, no, you can go ahead. All right. So first thing I want to do is if you have the padlet there, there should be a link in one of the comments and I can put that same link in our chat. Basically, this is the web page that provides, that'll provide all of the information about upcoming webinar series. Oh, I see Una put one in there. She beat me to it. So we're just going to run through really quickly kind of the topics that we're going to do this semester, this fall and Matthew, you want to start with yours and then maybe we'll, and I'll do the middle two and then you can finish it off. Yeah, sounds great. So yeah, we're really excited. We have on September 18th, we have a copyright and licensing with OER webinar. Right now, we have a couple of librarians who are committed to it and we also have an expert on Creative Commons licensing from none other than Creative Commons itself. So we're really excited about that. We hope to present it kind of as an interesting engaging discussion about some of the intricacies of copyright and licensing, but we will start out with a very brief overview of how copyright and licensing fit into open resources and then proceed through slightly more complex nuanced discussions related to intellectual property policies and how to remix content and things like that. And the goal is to have it be very much like a discussion or a podcast style discussion to keep it engaging and hopefully not for everybody with what sometimes can be a little bit dry content. So we're looking for cool. And then in October 16th, we'll have a discussion that'll be led by Suzanne talking about equity and diversity and inclusion in OER. This is going to have a kind of faculty focus, a pedagogy focus looking at sort of equitable representation, minority groups, indigenous and culturally responsive teaching, a couple of guests that have been invited to that. So that discussion ought to be really interesting. Then on November 13th, I will be leading a discussion on OER impact research. We've got a couple of different researchers who are going to join me. We'll talk about some of the best studies that are out there. We'll we're also going to talk about like research designs and what data institutions should be collecting right now. How what some lessons learned from collection of data and how partnerships could be developed to explore studies of OER impact. Yeah, and then following up with that on an early December, December 4th, specifically, we are going to have a webinar that features some features a recap of a couple of the major open education conferences that are happening this fall. So a recap and then reflections from some folks who attended. Those two conferences are first of all the open education conference, kind of the North American, you know, open education conference, which happens to be in Arizona right in our backyard here. But there's that conference and then in late November, there's the open education global conference in Milan, Italy. And so we know that not all of our members are able to make it to one or both of those conferences. So it's going to be an opportunity to reach out to some of our community members who were able to and ask them share their reflections or maybe recap some presentations that they were involved in. And one of the things that I'd like to just follow up with is that this webinar series is just one in a series of years that we've been doing this. On the CCCOER website, if you go to the webinar, if you just go to cccoer.org, you can actually search through the archives of all the webinars that we've done. We've got webinars dating back to 2012 in this resource. So I strongly recommend checking it out, because you'll see that there are a lot of different topics that we've covered over the years. Many of them were where I was directly involved, but I'm really happy to see some things in there that just looking at it yesterday, I was like, man, I got to go back to look at the stuff from 2013. So no, it's really exciting. And that's kind of the reason why we do these webinars is to engage with the community a little bit and try to engage discussions about topics that people find interesting. And so we're always looking for webinar topic suggestions. And so if you ever have any, please feel free to reach directly out to me or reach out to Nathan. I'll go ahead and offer that for you. And then no problem. And we're like really looking forward to future participation. All right. Thank you so much, Nathan and Matthew. We're going to move on to the website. The CCCOER website provides many resources. And I'm going to turn it over to Liz, Elaine and Kelsey, who will talk about the website and the plans for the website for the coming year. Thanks, yeah, I think this is Liz from CCCOER. I think I'm going to be doing mostly talking. I wanted to talk about some of the resources we have. So if you do go to CCCOER, we have a number of tabs at the top. The first one is the Learn tab. And that talks about, you know, why open education and talks about the benefits for students. Yeah, the Learn tab right there. Benefits for students and faculty, open licenses talks about the creative commons licenses. Find OER has a number of repositories. By categories, you can do subject specific repositories, you know, search for textbooks, journals, media, etc. Adopt OER talks about different steps you want to take from reviewing to, you know, making sure you get the materials approved by your college. OER research talks about links to OER research, like the textbook cost impact and quality of OER. And the helpful resources is a number of links curated by our executive counsel about OER, OER researching, planning, adoption, evaluation and advocacy, authoring OER, open pedagogy policy, just all kinds of links. The next tab over is the Plan tab. This has links to help you set goals and design actions to achieve your goals. So, in the articles for planning and an institutional level, ideas for faculty trying to start or grow an OER awareness or adoption at your institution and ideas on how to involve students, and then professional development ideas. The OER degrees tab is up next. There you go. So, OER degrees also called Z degrees or zero textbook cost degrees or Z credits if you're in Canada or the UK. There are pathways to a certificate or degree where all the classes have either use OER or have zero textbook costs for the class. So, we have different articles about talking about large scale projects, talks about achieving the dream. And then there's also degree planning, his tips for planning the degree pathway and resources for planning. Case studies is, features 12 case studies from community colleges across the US. And they talk about how they implemented their pathways, motivation challenges, results and etc. And the last thing I want to talk about in the website in this research is under get involved is the at the bottom there the 2019 open education conferences. This will take you to a spreadsheet and Kelsey Smith who couldn't join us today. But she's on our Executive Council. She maintains a spreadsheet of all of the conferences that are mentioned on our email list and she's keeping updated with the dates location and links. So that's a really good resource that if you are able to attend some conferences. All right, this and Liz, are you going to be talking about the guest blogs or is Nikki? Well, I'll talk about a couple of special blogs we have. Okay. If you do you still have if you still have, well, on that we have student impact stories. There you are. Yeah, if you look on that green box there that links to student impact stories. So CCC or we interviewed students who have been directly impacted by the zero textbook cost degree initiative, which was launched in spring of 2016 in California. So we've got a few we have more more to come soon. Yeah. And then the other other blog I wanted to talk about was if you go back to the main page. Yeah. Yeah, the other one, the equity diversity and inclusion blog series we've currently got nine blog posts with more lined up. The most recent post was Ursula Pi co-belief is here today at Austin Community College talked about taking OER off of campus and how an equity is more than saving money. And she talks about how she spoke at building bridges, community dialogue gathering in Austin, Texas. And we also have one from a librarian at CUNY talking about the adopting we are at the CUNY and how they involved. Make sure to keep an EDI lens on their program. Okay, I think I think Nikki is here to talk about Hi, everyone. Nikki here. So I'll give you an update on what we have via the guest blogs so far this year. We have posted about seven OER summit postings so far in 2019. And that actually doesn't include our Open Education Week roundups that we have in March. And that blog post on its own has about five days worth of OER information for everyone to explore. So really, if you check out the Education Week roundup, usually there's something for everyone on that blog post. And personally, it normally takes me several weeks just to go through everything after Open Ed Week is done and to have time to review everything. We've also had some excellent thought provoking pieces, as well as one that was recently posted around equity and openness earlier this month. And then during the late spring, we had another another post that was really well received, which is the when is open to open piracy and education and rethinking test banks. So this one was a hot conversation on the listserv. If you were on there during during the late spring time frame, I'm sure most of you probably remember that. So this actual blog post was an excellent summary of the thoughts and the opinions that were given from the from the community. And it also has some really great suggestions from the community of practice on kind of how to think about those test banks and what to do going forward. And earlier this year, we also had a post on change leadership, as well as bookstore involvement in OER projects. Both of those we can probably all relate to in some way. And I do want to mention that we are interested in having more thought pieces for our blog posting. So if you are interested in participating for an idea for a post, or if you have a boost that you think we should kind of summarize that we should summarize, please let us know via that guest blog form that is in the in the padlet. Or you can just let us know in the padlet. You can just add it as a comment as well. All right. Thank you, Nikki. I'm going to talk about the email listserv. So the email group is I would say one of the most vibrant email listservs that I have ever been involved in. And based on the results of the 2019 member survey, 95% of our members found that the community email to be the most valuable support that CCCOER offers to members. So CCOER provides, this was one of the quotes, an instant community with whom we can ask questions and share ideas. You don't need to be a member of CCCOER to join the listserv. And I always share the link to sign up for the listserv with faculty and staff during our trainings. Lisa, could you click on the community listserv? Yep. All right. So thanks to Dr. Larry Green, a mathematics faculty at Lake Tahoe Community College for creating an index of the shared email group. So the index is organized alphabetically by subject area and it's constantly being updated by Dr. Green. He even provided a video walkthrough to introduce the index and to also explain how it's organized. If you join the email group, I would recommend creating a rule in your inbox. Although now you can select because this is such a high volume email list, you can select your email preference. You can select an abridged email, one summary email of all new activity per day, a digest email where you can get up to 25 messages in a single email. And then all email is sending each message as it arrives. So those new options are great for people who don't want to be constantly getting the, you know, all the emails as they arrive. So if you have any quotes and thoughts about the email list, add them to the pablet. And I know that you'll definitely find this list to be great when you're looking for support on starting a new OER initiative, policy, strategy, any of the current issues that are going on, you'll get current up to date information from, you know, all of the people on the list. All right, let's see. So now I'm going to turn it over to Cindy, who's going to talk about new member services. Hey, everyone. So new member services is a new thing that's going on starting this year. And we want to reach out to our new members to find out how we can better help them. And one of the things that is sent out is a welcome email from Liz on behalf of Una and Sue and Lisa, myself. And one of the things you get is the new members toolkit. And I am going to put a link to that toolkit in the chat. So if you want to take a look at it, if you haven't already, there's a lot of great information on there. And one thing I'm soliciting is going to be feedback on that to find out how we can potentially approve upon it. I think it's great. But I'm also biased, because I've been looking at it. So we want fresh eyes. And we want to know what we could do to make it better for our new members. I'm also going to be reaching out to our new members as well to find out how you want us to help you when you join and what you're looking for when you join. We know that everybody is at different stages in that where we are journey. So I'm looking for that feedback. And I know that they're already talking our new members are talking and having consultations with Una and Sue and Liz. And this is just a little bit more laid back and seeing how things are going and getting to know you and how how we can better help our new members get around the OER community. So those are some of the new member services that we're rolling up this year and hoping to get everybody better connected in the community. So I am going to now turn it over to Lisa and outreach. Thank you. Hello. In terms of outreach, you've seen that we do a lot of virtual outreach, but we also do in-person outreach. And with that, members of CCCOER will often band together and do panel presentations or workshops at a number of the different conferences. We also have meetups at the conference. So the CCCOER community can get together and meet each other. So you'll be seeing something about the OpenEd conference that's going to be where I am in Arizona in October. And we'll work to get our membership together so everyone can meet each other and see all the people that we communicate with and see on the list or on the blog post or what have you. And so we are we are available to do presentations and workshops. Just this year, Una and I did a couple together and I know Sue has has done some and so it's just a great way to be able to help serve the Open Community and help others kind of get moving and get their initiatives going and also to and provide that expertise. And then also when we go to conferences, being able to share about what CCCOER does and this amazing professional learning network that has been established that we all contribute to and have benefited. And so that's what I've got on outreach. All right, thank you. And thank you everyone and if you have any comments, save the link for the padlet and feel free to add them. We'd be we look forward to hearing from you. And I'm working on sharing as you can probably see. Let me make sure I'm where I'm supposed to be here. You should still see the padlet. Is that correct? Yes. Okay. Technology challenge, the zoom drop down kept going where I needed to go. All right, everybody, we're gonna play a game. Is everybody ready? Yes. All right. So we're gonna play Kahoot and learn more about why CCCOER does what we do. And so to that end, um, we would like you I'm gonna lower my volume so you don't hear music twice. We are going to ask you to either use the Kahoot app if you have it on your phone, or go to www.kahoot.it which is in the chat window. And when you get to that URL or your Kahoot app, you enter this game pin which is 269-645 and put in the name. You can be your name. It could be someone else's name you choose. Um, but go ahead and go to the app or the website and put in the game pin and we got people coming up which is awesome seeing all these names coming up on our Kahoot. I'm gonna give it one more moment before we move on. We've got a lot of players. Look at this. It's working guys. Yay. Still have people rolling in. Right. Everybody's in. So we are going to get started. We're going to roll in with that game pin 269-645. But we're gonna start. So the first question is how much has the price of college textbooks increased since 1998? And so how much has the price of college textbooks increased since 1998? You have four options. The red triangle box is 212%. The blue diamond box is 123%. The green square box is 317%. And they're showing me the answer. Um, the answer is 183%. So since 1998, price of college textbooks has increased 183%. And now when we look at our leaderboard, Iron Man is for this well done Iron Man. So now we're going to talk to Brittany a little bit about how that relates to what CPC OER does. Brittany, take it away. Hi everyone. My name is Brittany Didek. I am the library coordinator at Colorado Community Colleges online. And so according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report for the CPI index from 2019, over the last 21.5 years, college textbooks have increased 183%. It's also important to mention that tuition has also increased 188%. What I thought what I did think was very interesting was that college textbook expenditures have decreased a marginal amount in the last year, 3.8% to be exact since July 2018. And I have to speculate that that has something to do with open educational resources, perhaps influencing the market a little bit. Important to this conversation is also student debt. According to the Federal Reserve, as of the fourth quarter of 2018, 44.7 million borrowers have over $1.5 trillion in student loan debt. And something that was actually very surprising to me was that 11.4% are either delinquent or defaulting, which is 90 days past due in their student loan debt. So one final thought, if you haven't already, I strongly encourage you to look into Dr. Sarah Goldrick-Rab's work at the Hope Center at Temple University for real college. I've personally found it extremely helpful in working with OER and communicating the why of what we're doing. These numbers seem kind of big and unmanageable and kind of not realistic, to be honest, but the the work that we're all doing in open educational resources has a real effect on students and families and her work there is very helpful in helping to explain why we're doing what we're doing. Brittany, thank you so much for providing the why it's it we all do what we do for different reasons, but you provided such a compelling case for the work we're doing and the hope that we're moving the needle, which is really exciting. Thank you. So back to the game, everybody, what are some ways diversity can be introduced using OER? There are four options. Leverage enabled pedagogy, remix and revise resources, curate resources, or all of the above. You have 10 seconds to provide your answer. Look at those coming in. And you are all correct. Leveraging enabled pedagogy, remixing and revising resources and curating resources are always that diversity can be introduced using OER. And in the lead, Iron Man is still in the lead with Liz trailing just a little bit behind and then Brittany, Nick and MMS. So let's see what Quill has to say. Hi, everybody. Um, so one of the main aims of open education when I started was to help remove barriers to education. And we thought about that as equity. But equity is removing the textbook cost is is kind of an equalizer in terms of everybody getting better access to education. But it doesn't mean that it's equity. Because while you take away the cost for one student, you take them away for all students, which is lovely, but that's equality. So when we talk about equity and OER, we talk about the different ways that we can use open education and open enabled pedagogy and remixing and bringing in student voices to the work to help students find their their own voice in the educational setting and see their culture reflected there and see their values reflected there. And that's all very important in the setup of equity in education. CCC OER has been working on this for the past couple of years. You saw earlier the blog postings that I was going to direct you to where we started to have several thought provoking conversations about how do our how does OER play with this equity conversation? And it is a much bigger conversation than let's remove the cost of textbooks. That's just a beginning place. Removing the cost is the start. But we have to go deeper and further with our resources in order to truly meet the needs of students. of diversity and students who have traditionally been less well represented in our completion numbers at our colleges. So join us at CCC OER for those conversations both in our listserv in the webinar that's coming up and in our conference presentations. Thank you, Quill. And it's interesting in our first year of the Maricopa Millions project, we had an opportunity to do focus groups with students. And one of the things that struck me the most was a comment from a student who said the textbook was made for me. And that's really what it's what it's about when we're talking about equity. And so thank you, Quill. We are moving on to the next phase of the game. What are some things that can be a result of OER? Enrollment in a greater number of credits, innovation and customization of engaging learner materials, increased student success for all of the above. Alrighty. All of the above that is correct on those that are all things that can be a result of OER. Clearly, I am not a professional quiz maker. And in the lead, Iron Man stays strong. And we still have MMS and Liz in the lead there in first, second and third place. And then Nathan and Arbex have moved on to the top five. So let's talk to Suzanne a little bit here. Suzanne, can you tell us a little bit more about the why? Absolutely. So yeah, improving student success is actually part of the CCC OER mission. So this ties in pretty directly. And I think a lot of times when we talk about OER, the cost factor is a big part of it. But there's so much more to it. And there's been some really great research done about how using OER improved student success. Quill mentioned quite a few really good factors about equity and helping students really see themselves in the content. And so the enrollment success are really integral to getting students through their educational experience and on onward to bigger things in their lives. And the third one they're customizing, I think is a really interesting one because we tend to not talk about it that often is how can we as professionals take these resources and make them our own, make them the students resources, which, as you mentioned, was exactly what students want to see, they want to see themselves in the educational experience. And so CCC OER gives us a nice platform to talk about those things and share ideas. Excellent. Thank you, Suzanne. And I think that's what really my favorite. There's so many parts of CCC OER that I just love being a part of. But the sharing of ideas and having these discussions, I think are key and that we're able to do them, not only in person, but also virtually and through our webinars through our listserv through our blogs. It's really something that you don't see a lot of other places and we have a really great community to help us all grow. We're back in the game, everybody. True or false, Creative Commons is a leader in ensuring resources are licensed to be shared. And Creative Commons is a leader in ensuring resources are licensed to be shared. And so now, here we go, Ironman is still in the lead. You are quick with your answers and they are correct. MMS has come in second, Liz Yada has come in third, Rbeck's fourth, and Sarah H. Fiff. That's the end of the quiz, but it's not the end of learning more about CCC OER, because James is going to tell us a little bit of the why of leadership. Hey, everybody, James Glopper Girls Clawing College of the Canyons. Great to be here. Thanks, Lisa and Super, putting this together is a lot of fun. I'm going to really riff off of the Creative Commons question. When we talk about leadership, Creative Commons, of course, is the leader in providing the legal framework for us, the structure for us. And that is so essential. But still, we have to do the frontline work and everybody in CCC OER really is doing that frontline work and that's being a leader. If we think about doing the daily work of advocacy, encouraging faculty, searching repository for his faculty, applying for grants, delivering workshops to one or two people, or nobody shows up for your workshop. You know, that's the work that we're doing on a daily basis, I think, or we aspire to do that work on a daily basis. And we're looking for people to give us ideas about how to do that and share slides and share resources and share tips about how to get more than zero people to come to our workshops. The CCC OER community is the place where you can find all of those people and all of those resources and get great examples of how you can implement those things down your own campus or in your community in your region or state. And one of the things that I love about CCC OER is that everyone can be a leader. CCC OER is welcoming to faculty, to administrators, to staff, to community members, people from higher education, people from foundations, people from higher education, commissions and so on. So you can be a leader from any point in the organization and any type of organization. And you can jump in at any time and the community is incredibly welcoming. I can think of, gosh, a lot of people on the webinar today. I'm looking at Amanda and Suzanne and Jennifer from California, who, you know, three or four years ago, really, we're not involved in OER. And now they've gotten involved in CCC OER and OER generally. And they're seen as leaders at their institutions and leaders across the state and probably beyond the state. So, you know, the community of like-minded heroes that CCC OER introduces you to is invaluable, priceless. And I just want to say also that all of the opportunities that our colleagues have identified earlier in the webinar are opportunities for you to identify yourself publicly in your leadership role, whether it's writing a blog post, hosting a webinar, participating in a webinar, contributing to the listserv. Those are great ways to get noticed if that's what you're interested in. But I think generally, most people here are interested in doing the work rolling up their sleeves and going to that workshop with maybe one person. And the final thing I'll say about leadership that I hope we're all thinking about is how to encourage the next generation of leaders. We have to get our students involved, whether they're graduate students or undergraduate students, we have to get our students involved as interns, as advocates, as workers, as users and creators of OER in their own right. And those are people who are going to come up through the system thinking that OER is the default. And that's the real opportunity we have to exercise leadership that is making ourselves invisible and taking taking this away from being a movement and being something new and just making it the default. So back to you, Lisa. James, thank you so much. And I think you really did a great job of touching on the leadership that CCC OER provides, but also the leaders in OER that CCC OER helps grow, including myself and so many others that I've seen, the scaffolding, the support, the resources, tools, and all of you who contribute. And whenever there is a question that you all we all chime in and provide our knowledge and having that cumulative knowledge really helps us when we're new to this to be able to lead at our institutions. And I think that is one of the most special things is that CCC OER really helps to grow the OER leaders in the community colleges because of all of our members. And it's pretty cool. So thank you for playing the game. I'm going to switch us back to PowerPoint. And I'm going to turn it over. Thank you, Lisa. Can you hear me? Yes. Okay. I think everyone said it all. But what one piece I want to make a little bit of an emphasis about is that CCC OER is part of the open ed consortium, which is a global network of open educators around the world and with members in over 40 countries. CCC OER is a big part of the OEC actually at about 30% of the members. But there's opportunities for you to hear about what's happening around the world in open education and where when possible to attend the annual conference for open education global, which is it's somewhat like the open ed conference, which happens in the United States and sometimes in Canada. But it attracts people from many countries. And so you'll see a much wider set of presentations and and have an opportunity for conversations with people from all over the world. This year, it's in Italy in November, the end of November. Last year, it was in the Netherlands. The year before it was in South Africa. And so it's it rotates based on the OEC members who bid to have it at their institution. So we're very excited to have it in Milan, Italy this this November at the Polytechnic Polytechnic University there. So I think that's all I will say, please do read these membership benefits. These are on our website as well. And there's our our web address, if you would like to look into becoming a member. And we'd be very happy to have you. I guess these are my slides too. So, you know, once again, there's various opportunities for getting involved. If you go to our website, cccoar.org, that's where the community email is that's where membership is that's where those conferences are that Kelsey Smith maintains for us. So a list of conferences this fall coming up in the spring along with the due dates for submissions. So it's really a helpful one stop shopping for open ed conferences or conferences that have a big focus on open ed. And we talked about the guest blog posts, Nikki and Liz both mentioned those. So we'd love to have you contribute as well. And I think we went over this earlier today. And so you can just see we hope that you'll join us in September to for that discussion on copyright and licensing with OER. Back to you, Lisa and Sue. Well, thank you, everybody. We'd love to answer some questions. So if you have any questions, please put them in the chat window and we can address them. Yes, thank you, everyone. That was fun. Thank you for interacting with us. Yes. Thanks for letting us try something new. One thing that I wanted to share was I was reading through some of the quotes on the survey, the member survey, and I liked this one. So the people within the CCC OER feel like your own team. It's where you can share your failures and successes around OER and know that someone is always going to be chairing you on at the finish line. And that's really how I feel about my involvement with CCC OER. And I echo that. I don't see any other questions coming in on the chat. Sue, are you able to see that? So Michelle asked, where is the leadership for OER at the K through 12 level? And sorry, who asked that, Sue? Michelle Smith. Michelle, you know, thank you, Michelle, for that question. We we're starting to work on issues around dual enrollment. So high school dual enrollment, we know that that is a huge priority for both colleges and high schools. And OEC is looking at also opening up its membership through to K through 12. So I'd love to talk with you about that offline. It's something that's in process, and we realize the need for this. This is not something that's limited to higher ed. So thank you for asking that. I think Thank you, everyone for attending. Thanks for playing and participating in our first webinar of the 2019 school year. And I want to say thanks to Lisa and Sue, who organized this and made it so interactive and fun to play. So thanks, everyone. And hope to see you again soon. Have a great start to the semester. Bye bye. Bye.
