So We so appreciate these folks and how they help build the community And now I want to turn this over to James glappa gross clag who was going to just talk a little bit about that conference That I mentioned which is the global conference for open ed that happens once a year Yeah, good morning or good afternoon everybody james here Thanks for the opportunity to talk briefly about the open education global Conference again that takes place every year Which is the premier global event for open education by the the global network of the open education consortium our parent organization This year was particularly Rewarding for for many reasons first of all the The conference set attendance records you see on the screen there 386 attendees from 45 countries So that underscores right away not only how large the conference is getting but also the just incredible depth And diversity of viewpoints and and implementations and perspectives on on open education that you can find There were 169 presentations. It was uh an incredibly rich rich array of uh of topics, uh, I spoke about the california community college zero textbook zero textbook cost degree program Along with amanda coolidge and richard's fashion speaking about other z-degree implementations barbara our friend barbara lousky spoke about the canvas shells Built around open stacks Open stacks texts that have been created by the online education initiative here in california Quill and lisa and Preston and una and rajiv Uh formed a great panel about implementing z-degree And large large scale projects sort of the on-the-ground view and our our friends from cuny and soony also had great representation They're talking about their their projects, and I apologize if i'm if i'm missing anyone else There were just a lot of great presentations they're representing the Uh Phenomenal work that's happening in community colleges throughout the united states and canada, so it's it's really gratifying to see the growth in our participation and The awareness Globally of what the community colleges again in the u.s. And in canada are are doing Leading open in many ways also a particular focus of the conference was opening Opening the doors more broadly and really reaching out to open organizations such as achieving the dream creative commons hulet lumen Spark as well as our friends and allies from open science open data Open access publishing. There was a real real effort to Make the Make the connections amongst the different strands of open which if you think about it's kind of silly that there are different strands We're all trying to make education accessible to any everyone everywhere. So It was really gratifying to see that come together The conference next year The location is undecided at this moment. The conference shall be held in the fall next year. So fall 2019 keep your eyes open a Call for proposals is out right now for for hosts. So if your organization would like to Consider hosting Conference you can find information about that on the oe consortium.org website and with that I will kick it back to una. Thank you thank you James for sharing that and um I I asked I there was there's quite a few people online today and of course included and quill and I'm forgetting the other folks. I'm not sure if barbers with us today who were At that conference. So please feel free to share any thoughts you have about that It was wonderful to see all the folks from CUNY and SUNY there We were just swimming in community college people and usually it's a pretty small group that's able to come to that conference And so it was really an amazing experience All right, I'm going to turn it over to quill now and quill I can move the slides for you or um, However, you'd like me to do that Yes, please move the slides and then if you if somebody from the leadership team wouldn't mind Watching chat and interrupting me if there's questions about these slides. That would be great um okay, so First I want to take this slide just to say thank you to everybody who participated in our annual survey this year I think we had more turnout this year than we have at least for the last three years in terms of completing the survey um And one of the things that we really appreciate is that it seems that the survey was taken Kind of at least in all of the locales of all of our members So it's really important that people participate in the survey because It helps us to make decisions about where to go next Um, and it helps us to understand What is important to our members so that we can Um do things that help all of you um, so Let's go to you So we asked you to rank activities based on what was most important to you And this is pretty similar our findings this year We're pretty similar to the last couple of years in that the most valuable things we do as a community Seems to be our email list and webinars, which is really great because we love doing those things But there was value found in our website and guest blogs. Um We are thinking about revamping some of the things that we're doing in our guest blogs And the way that people interact with our website And you will hear more about that later And then um, we were somewhat surprised to hear um, how open education we Kind of ranked low in people's experiences and we don't know if that is because Of when it falls because for some of us it's falling during spring break Um, or if it has something more to do with how cccoer interacts with that. So we're going to explore that this year And get back to you around getting closer to the time of Open education week because very few people ranked it as the most one of the more important things activities from cccoer um So this is kind of in order of ranking um So, you know, if you wouldn't mind going to the next slide for me So we also asked an open-ended question about what lessons you learned this year what things were Important in your learning. It was an open-ended question. So we had 39 results Um, and I kind of broke them down into themes and you can see the major themes that I picked out here And I think it's really interesting that some of the findings that people had kind of all fit in the same General theme areas because these are the things that were most important. Um I'm one of the so and I ranked them by also kind of how many Fit in with those things. So it seems like a lot of people were concerned about professional development And that related to how to teach faculty how to find things to How to teach about open pedagogy. There were all kinds of questions about this um And then going further down the list, you can see like how do we support our faculty was one of the big questions or Some of the things that made it in there were like we we thought we had enough people for support But we don't so we had to make emergency runs on it. Um, and then in other places Um institutional support was a big finding for people and when I say outside in there, I mean Most of the people who felt that this was a challenge Worked on getting ground up support and top down support for their open education work And then some people even said even though we don't have a movement yet Um, or we don't have an initiative yet. And this is what we think is most important or this is what we're working on Um, and then about the final one there is near and dear to my heart because I spent yesterday working Or we've been gearing up for the webinar of yesterday and understanding what the commons is and how to care Take kind of the commons that is the place where we find our resources and there were a lot of of Not there were probably five different responses here that were related to um Easier access to the commons and better understanding of how to share back with the commons So, um, that's something that now I will try to find answers for all of us from because it's one of my questions as well So, um, this is what this is kind of Dealing with the open-ended question that was there. Um So if we can go on yep um so This the question about open education practices. So we asked what open education practices. Are you planning? um in the upcoming year and we let people pick as many as I think up to Well, we asked people to pick multiple ones um, and I find it really interesting um That you know So it kind of makes sense because everybody's working on earning oer adoptions that 95 of the participants Said that's what we're working on Because you can be working on oer adoptions and on oer degrees at the same time and are because they're you know You need to be oer adoptions to turn oer degrees But you can see our ranking here of how people Um, how many people responded to each thing? So you can see that a lot of our programming and work and open ed at cccoer Is going to focus on that oer adoption level and and raising awareness level because that's where a lot of our members are so You can see how that came out in the survey here and i'm curious if there's any questions. I'm going to stop and pause I haven't been reading the chat while i'm talking. So if there's anything big in the chat window, I'd love to carry it forward Um, there hasn't been anything specific to this. So a few people have shared about open education week and how they've used it at their campus Oh, i'm really really glad to hear people say that see I think sometimes if we poke at things individually we hear how important they actually are So i'm glad um So as I said at the top of this section, we use this survey to help us planning plan for our future um, and think about What cccoer should be doing to further the missions of our members in terms of open education so um If you have if you are just now hearing about the survey and it's surprising to you Please get in touch so that we can um include your thoughts in Our feedback as we make decisions for the upcoming year. Um, and I would like to turn this over to michael see michael Do you have your Do you need to unmute yourself? Let me see. I'll try and unmute you Because you're on the phone. I think you might need to unmute yourself Okay, can you hear me now? We can uh-huh. Okay. All right I was having problems with my computer mic Um, I was just saying good afternoon to everyone or in some cases. Good morning And to follow up on the survey and I think that the partnerships aspect Is a good segue to that because one of the things that we often hear Is how do we get people outside of their own institution to share material share content share ideas? and We're going to focus this year with the the support of paul stacey OEC with focusing on some inter institutional sharing aspect of ccc oer and looking for specific themes or specific subjects that might be of interest to institutions at different Different places around the the country or in some cases may be within the same region so for example, there may be I know we are Course that people are struggling with our subject that people are struggling with so if we can get the group of schools together to tackle that Opportunity it lessens the pain for everyone and then shares the Financial burden if if you will so we're going to be looking into that looking at specific subjects or or themes um And we're going to identify these focuses This focus and then seek funding as opposed to the other way around so we identify a course or subject area That we might be able to get funding then we'll do it that way And so, you know, for example the the regional flavor there may be Something in the mid-atlantic region that schools are struggling with There may be something in texas that schools need particular help with the history of texas History of california and schools can band together in a regional aspect to develop the oer and then share it out Amongst themselves instead of just keeping it within their own institution And i'll be glad to answer any questions that that anyone might have I see someone tina as opposed to cultural anthropology And when quill has seconded that so, you know, certainly that that may be something that that we take a look at um Great. Thank you so much mike. Um, is is there any specific way you'd want people to share those ideas with with you Well, they can certainly email them to me. Um And then I can share them with the executive committee Um, if you want to handle it that way we can approach The the partnership focus We can start it that way Okay, that would be great if you want to put your interest in the chat window. That'd be super sure. I will do that Thank you and Mike did you want to take the next slide or would you prefer if I did that one? um No, well I can I can touch on it. I think you know some of these these areas are Maybe areas that we can we can focus on from a partnership standpoint. I think this wish list is probably more for tcc oer in general but You know as we work together from an inter institutional standpoint, there are certainly areas on this list that we can tackle together absolutely and this this um I wasn't able to do as thematic approach as um quilled it and of course we we had 39 responses to the survey About what all of you are hoping to do beyond 2018 19 and it was a very interesting list. Um and I found I couldn't I I was able to kind of half it by um combining things but um, I think there's lots and lots of opportunities to um Collaborate on these and I know in many cases we we do that already um on some of the summits. Um, and um, we often um, you know share across state state boundaries and all that to help out each other. Um Tina has posted in the the chat that map for manufacturing is is something that would be of interest and you know that Comes on the heels of a conversation unna and I had with the bell weather consortium that is looking for possible partners in technical education and developing where we are in the technical education area, which seems to be a need From a number of different vantage points at a number of different schools So that that's something that you know, we'll continue to explore and partnering with them as a possibility Yeah, thank you for sharing that mic. Um Definitely a need and um, you know skills commons, which is kind of which is the repository for the tact grants, which were those technical Curriculum and and so forth that was developed as for the technical assistance trade sorry the trade assistance Grants out of the department of labor Uh, they will also be expanding in the future as well. So there's going to be a lot of opportunities for that So great to hear that other people need that as well and nikki also mentioned that. All right. Um Great i'm going to move this on and i'm actually going to turn this over to nikki stubs to talk about a little bit about our website and Thoughts on the new member toolkit Good afternoon everybody Um, so quickly I want to mention, um, kiri and Shared the new The new resources page Um for us on the listserv, but for those of you who maybe haven't caught it yet Um, this is the link and we want to make sure that you have An opportunity to go and look at that. So briefly Adjusting an overview of what that list consists of Is accessibility oer advocacy? Evaluating your oer authoring and adoption options But there's a ton of resources on here For those of you who may be a little bit new to oer and for those of us who have been around the oer block For quite some time. So it really just depends on What you're looking for and where you are in your initiatives at your colleges As to how you can use those resources So be sure to check those out. We'll put the link in the chat And then the next thing that I want to mention is Our new member toolkit. So What we are trying to determine is how we can better engage with you all Especially new members So when new members join You know, everyone you get a little packet of information from From quill and una and and some basic information, but what we would like to do is try to formulate something That shares a little bit more about ccc oer And the website and how to use it and how to interact with it and how to engage with the community And and how to engage with the listserv Um, I do know that as a fairly new member. I've been here for um A year una. I think ish Little over a year now. Um, it can be intimidating at first when you come on to the the listservs and there's So much happening. Um, but we want to encourage members to participate with us And we especially want our new members who have joined if you have ideas or suggestions That you fail would have been helpful when you joined If you'll let us know because we you know, that's the goal of the toolkit is to kind of help new members get acclimated To the community and the resources And the people who are involved in the community so that you can build relationships amongst everyone so We do want you to let us know If you do have you know a suggestion if you are a member of another community Who has a really great toolkit that you think you know for new members that Helps welcome them. Please please share it with us so that we can glean some ideas from other resources Great. Thank you so much. Nikki. And would you be willing to be the point person on that? Sure, absolutely. Okay. So if you wouldn't mind sharing your email address then that would be in the chat window And I know we have a couple of folks online today who are relatively new members maybe within the last year year and a half So we you know, we really appreciate And actually I think annie you're you may be one of our newest members that's on today annie fox from front range So if there's things that you remember that would have been helpful for you in the beginning We'd really appreciate that All right. I want to turn this over to regina Gong and matthew bloom who are working on professional development slash webinars for us And regina of course has been doing that for um, some somewhat over a year now and matthew has just joined her Okay, well, thank you everyone and thank you una for the introduction. Um, so I'm going to share with you the resource of the survey in terms of webinar topic And um, as you've heard from quill Webinars really are very popular. Um, you know, not only with our membership, but with Others who are not members of cccoer So, um, we thought of presenting it as a side by side Comparison of the 2017 Survey results and this year's um survey results. So, um, for last years, we actually had the membership Rated that's why you would see there that There's urgently needed and important But for this year, um, we thought of changing that and so we asked you to rank it according to Um, you know, the degree of importance with one being the most important And as you can see there's parallelism. So there's um, you know, number one is still the impact of oer impact on student learning More than the cost savings Is what i'm thinking and then oer degrees also ranked um high among the membership um open pedagogy Universal design and accessibility also ranks high Finding oer because we still have a lot of Members who are new and who have yet to start know we are initiative. So that is important to them as well Sustainability is important, especially for those of us who already have a mature oer Initiative on campus and would want to scale it even further Um open licensing and copyright also, um ranks high um There's one that didn't quite reflect what we have in the 2018. That's why it doesn't have a Something on the other side, um, that is faculty leadership and oer and collaborating with other You with student services and institutional leadership um equity diversity and inclusion Is also very important for um our membership as well as librarians. Yes, librarians and oer You can't have an oer initiative without a librarian. I'm just saying so and then open platform and um When I can you just please advance to the next one Thank you. And um the results from the survey really inform us Um with regards to the programming the webinar programming that we will do for the next academic year so Hopefully the topics that we have offered for the past year speaks to what you wanted us to offer and this is just some of the webinar topics that we have done the past year And then the next one So this is just um arranged by date from uh last year until um Yesterday, which is which was our last um webinar for the academic year And as Una mentioned, we really have a lot of people who register um for this webinar so Yes, so those are the things that we have in terms of Um And for this year, we would like to shape things up a bit. And so Matthew will talk about that Matthew. Yes. Um, so basically the idea here is that we don't want to um, just be kind of We'll kind of pick the topics based on the Survey results and that kind of thing, but we will want to reach out to the community and get some um Some help from everyone, you know in terms of providing some of the actual webinars So if you have some particular experience or some interest related to any of the topics Um, you know any of the survey result topics or anything like that We'd love for you to you know participate in the webinar not just by joining but by um actually presenting So what we've done is we put together this google doc here. It's very simple It's just your name um, you know the topic that you might like to present on If there's anybody at your institution that you'd like to bring on as a special guest or something along those lines It is I think it's just a great opportunity. It's the kind of thing that that we've tried to do not just related to OER but other kinds of professional development things at our colleges americopa is you know Reaching out to faculty and trying to get them all, you know involved in one way or another So this is just I think a good opportunity for us to connect and really Kind of crowdsource here and share some of our experiences So if you're interested feel free to fill out that document and let us know Great. Thank you so much, uh, rejina and matthew and I know they've also got other exciting ideas about How to make our webinars a little more interactive. Um, so stay tuned all right Next up, uh, is liz yada our support specialist is going to share a little uh tech tip with you Okay um Okay, so on our one of the questions that was asked was What additional information would be useful in the ccco er webinar and a few people said Some of the things about finding the oer suggestions on the website or a link to larry greens um compilation of oer's by discipline um, so if I could share my screen I will quickly Absolutely, there you go Okay, can everyone see the website um so Um, here's our website. So to get to that community email page you go to get involved and go click on community email We've got a couple different ways for you to search the oer one of them someone mentioned larry greens resource, so it's it's right here and um, I've already got it open so you can see that larry has um Organized everything by subject so like people were talking about cultural anthropology as an anthropology section um, some people were talking about esl recently um, there's no esl section, but if we click on english you can see composition english 101 fairy tales and Eventually we get to esl also the other way you could do this is because it is one big webpage you could use the search feature of your browser and you know, see I've got esl already in there And it'll find everything for you that way if there's something that's you know that That dr. Green hasn't made a search term for the other way to find resources is you can I'm going back to this community email page. You can search the archives So if you click on that it's going to take you to the google group. It might ask you to sign in You don't actually have to be signed in this is shared publicly so Um, you can search through all the messages people were talking about cultural anthro So just search for that And you can see there's a few a few results. Um, so something to get you started That is it for for me. Hopefully that cleared it up for you And let me just stop sharing Thanks so much So we Also for Dr. Larry The work he does to compile all of that wonderful oer that everyone recommends All right, well, I think it's back to you now Yay, I get to talk about october Um, so as you can see on the screen, um, october 10 through 12th is the Open education conference Um in Niagara Falls, New York. I'm very excited to go see it And to end a meet-up with all of you at the conference So for the past couple of years, we've been doing an open ed meet-up and the idea behind the meet-up is that we all get together Um, or people who are attending the conference can get together Usually we try for either after sessions in an afternoon or last year We did that first thing in the morning one morning Um, and it's an opportunity for us all to get together and say hi and talk to each other Um, and just build more community We are hoping that someone would like to volunteer to help us plan this meet-up Um last year, I believe Lisa and Liz and I carried all of the weight on planning our meet-up So, uh, we would love to hear from people, especially people who are local in New York to help us Plan this year's meet-up. So if you're at all interested, please get in touch. I'm going to put my Um gmail Address in the chat window and you can contact me through gmail Okay, I'm gonna And then of course we have many opportunities for you to continue to get involved One of the things that was pretty clear in the survey is that people wanted to volunteer And help but you a lot of people weren't sure what to do. So here are some things we would love to have you help us with Um, of course, we're still collecting case studies from institutions on your experiences But though we are there is a template for that you can see that there's a bit.ly URL there um If you would like to write a blog post for our ccc we are a blog and or suggest a topic you can also do that Um, as you know, we talked to I just talked about a conference meet-up at open ed But if you're going to a conference where you think other open education people might be there Let us know and we'll see if we can help you put together a meet-up at bat at least an opportunity to get together and have drinks after sessions one day or You know coffee if that's what you're into And then um, if you you just saw actually and there's a chat link in the chat window for Suggesting webinar speakers are volunteering to be a webinar speaker yourself Uh, this community works because it is a community and people volunteer their time um And expertise to the rest of the community. It's part of maintaining the commons. So we invite you to be a part of that We would love to have your participation. You don't have to be Do it a hundred percent of the time but anything you can give would really help us to grow our community Okay, um, and then this last one is my our opportunity to hear from you and what's going on in your world Um, it looks like we came out with just nine minutes We are almost exactly on time. I'm proud of us So if there's anything you'd like to bring up for the good of the order, please raise your questions and suggestions You're welcome to use your mics or the chat window. We are watching This is una, um, and what people are thinking about. Um, I don't want to hog the mic, but um, I did mention in the chat that, um Both naked smith and matthew bloom just shared a write-up with us in the last month or two about their oar adoption case studies. Um and um kind of the The journey they've taken and of course matthew had a five-year journey to talk about Nathan had about a two-year journey to talk about. Um so I don't know if either Matthew or Nathan would like to talk briefly about that or someone who's struggling with something out there And would like to ask the community for some help with something Well, I mean, if you want, I guess I can very briefly summarize the uh, the the The journey as you say that we went through with maricopa millions Great. Um, so yeah, just I'm just to keep it short. Obviously it's it's written up there so you can see the details But um, as you said, it's a five-year journey And and I think that was the reason why we waited so long to do the case studies because it really, um, kind of came to, uh um Really a moment of evolution this year, you know, it was it was originally not a permanent initiative that we had We had a set amount of funding It was going to be a five-year initiative to try to encourage faculty to adopt OER across our 10 colleges and um, so there was Basically what what we did and I wasn't even part of it at the beginning. I was doing my own thing But it was Lisa young who has been mentioned a couple times here was one of the original folks involved in it and they they had a committee set up, um at the district level our District is like I said composed of 10 colleges And so we tried to get people from all the different colleges involved in this kind of committee that was Developing a plan to do some grant funding to try to get faculty involved in creating their own OER or remixing and adopting And one of the biggest things I think when it comes to Not just our ability to gauge the amount of You know like savings that we were providing for our students But also just to get the word out to the students and to faculty about open resources was that we were able to Get a search filter embedded into our Find a class so when students went to go actually search for their classes They could just click on more options and then down there that there was a low cost no cost Filter and so then it would only show the courses where faculty were using OER or other low cost materials or or no cost materials so so the kind of combination of the grant funding to get faculty to adopt and and adapt their materials and That combination with the actual student awareness events that we held Turned out to be pretty effective in the end and we estimate that we saved Our students across the district about 11 and a half million dollars over those five years So we're pretty happy about that and now we're transitioning into a We now basically have transitioned the the initiative into an actual ongoing part of our academic affairs At the district level so it's no longer just a temporary thing The the initial five-year thing is over and now they've created a full-time faculty assignment And so it will be an ongoing assignment and I happen to be the first one to to do it So i'm excited about that, but it's now been institutionalized in a good way Great. Thank you for sharing that and Matthew because institutionalizing the adoption of OER and open educational practices is is a really wonderful outcome And something I think everyone is strike everyone on this list is striving for I don't know if anyone else wants to share I know I We heard from Kate Hess who's out there at Kirkland Community College in Iowa and she said that they're checking in with Their faculty they did a survey this spring to see how they can adapt Their OER program to be more I guess faculty friendly. Do you want to chat about that Kate? I know we all hit some bumps in the road and maybe you have some insights you could share Hi there. Can you hear me? Yeah, we can uh, yeah, um I don't know. I feel like uh, I just kind of Take the process kind of a year at a time, you know um Just kind of see what works just keep asking faculty You know, what do they need help with what you know, what kind of support do they need from the college? um and I guess What I've been hearing is that um, uh, faculty who have Been trying to adopt or you know reviewing resources They more seem at least here they seem to be Kind of going away from the idea of um You know putting it together piecemeal With combining a lot of different sources and really want just a cup one or two um You know maybe back to the kind of open textbook model where they can You know just grab Uh, you know chapters from a couple different titles and they're kind of ready to go Without a lot of adaptation needed um, that seems to be kind of what the You know the issue of the time needed To to review materials what that's turned into here But yeah the interest In actually adopting a number of faculty adopting has gone up a lot just over the past year Um, and they do appreciate, you know supportive library of librarians um helping them locate resources and evaluate resources And I have questions on you know copyright and fair use and creative commons licensing um Our bookstore has gotten uh Has been getting requests to create course packs again, which they hadn't been doing for a while and Or you know not is not very much um So yeah, it's been it's been active, but I don't uh quite know how to characterize it I will seems all over the place Well, great. I'm glad to hear about that growth. Um, Kate is one of our longest members So it's it's it's fun to hear um Yeah, but it's fun to hear that there's progress and yeah, yeah And and tapping into what your faculty are interested in now Yeah, yeah And let's see I would anyone else like to share out there Grab the mic before I pick on somebody I think we have room for we have time for at least one more because we did start just a couple minutes late So I hope you don't mind if we run over just a minute or two um And anyone on this is Nathan from Houston Community College if you can hear. Yeah. Hi, Nathan. Sure Hello. Yes, go ahead. We can hear you. Yeah Actually, Nathan, I'm not able to hear you right now. Um, You kind of you came in and you went out. Maybe maybe there's something wrong with my computer I don't think we can hear him on us. Oh, okay. Thanks. LaBaron. It's not just me. Okay, right Sorry about that. Well, Nathan while we're waiting on you. Um, well LaBaron, how would you like to share something? LaBaron is uh, the dean For academic affairs specialties at the california community college. Would you like to share anything? Sure, I can I can give a little update on the Um, the new cyber security collaborative that we've been working on. I think I shared a little bit one time when we talked about it and the ZTC but We have four colleges That have agreed to collaborate with each other We took the one of the tag class you mentioned that earlier And um, and you talk about how things come together at the open ed conference After listening to jerry hamley talk about the skills common and the cyber security program That was there. We connected with him got access to that curriculum And then invited colleges to Come and talk to us about then in a Collaborative or consortium to offer that curriculum So we started out with 12 colleges and and four have agreed to participate We then looked at the curriculum with our subject matter experts And this was developed five years ago the cyber security curriculum was And you imagine the cyber security five years is a lifetime. So We had the subject matter experts The deputy navigators to take a look at this Um, and they have since updated this curriculum And we consolidated the curriculum from 13 courses down to eight courses and in the process now of Of working with the four colleges to offer this in a 35 week sequence of eight courses and short term courses that will produce graduates to set for Certifications in cyber security. So they'll be going through as a cohort And we'll be starting up instruction in spring of 2019 That's a quick three minute a thing and as we Get more meat on the bones with this would be more than happy to come back and share Greater detail, but it not only Combines OER with zero textbook cost degrees but it Demonstrates how colleges can collaborate with each other And offer different parts of the program With students getting that certificate at the end And so it'll be as I said a full ZTC and We'll be Very excited to to see how this all works out. We're looking at starting with a cohort of about 40 students All right. Well, thank you so much for sharing that labyrinth. Um, we'll we'll look forward to hearing more as that evolves Yesterday, we had somebody who shared that They were starting a programming group So in general computer programming through rebus So it's there's going to be some really wonderful open textbooks for the computer science cyber security area Which has been there's been a need for this. So I'm really excited about that. Um Nathan had did you did you end up getting back your microphone? Well, I'm afraid you might have to read Nathan's case study for now We'll try and get that resolved in the future. Sorry about that Well, we are just about at the at the 60 minute time frame Um, we if anyone else would like to share we have one more minute Um, otherwise, we really appreciate you coming.
