Having great fun talking #OER platforms with Niklas Finkbeiner and CCCOER in this webinar cccoer.org/webinar/june-1…

Appreciating @BCOpenText Allison Coolidge “People need to know why to do open education, but they also need to know how.” Describing toolkits from BC Campus #OpenEd18

Thanks Allison Coolidge for pointing out the importance of making space to say thank you to people who support and engage in our work as a regular part of supporting #OER work @BCOpenText #OpenEd18

Oh JameGG, I’m hanging my head in sorrow and apology to researchers. I’m one of those people who is slow to share data... #OpenEd18

I’m really enjoying Nathan Smith discussion of #OERarecapabilities and I’m kind of obsessed with unintentional “masking agents.” #OpenEd18

What a practical and important point: “the capacity for openness should be built into the design of OER and the institutional practices of #OER.” Nathan Smith #OpenEd18

Things to love about #OpenEd18: random acts of song.

Five years ago we challenged the #OER movement to save students $1 billion by 2018. Today at #OpenEd18 we officially announced... WE DID IT! 🎉🎉🎉 sparcopen.org/news/2018/1-bi…

I’m excited to hear about this report. #OpenEd18

There is a lesson to us that the student pull-quotes in the Achieving the Dream #OERdegree year 2 findings mention better organization of materials to assignments as valuable in their educational experience. #OpenEd18

Hey Stacey, this report may help answer your question about faculty/librarian teams and the investment of time in designing #OER courses. #OpenEd18

One of my favorite moments in this discussion: @BCcampus asks grant applicants to consider how all students- beyond the local institution- can use the proposed #OER. Great way to caretakers the Commons!

Thanks @mctoonish for sharing your OER story! OER is such a personal and group journey- thanks for underlining that so clearly. #CascadiaOpenEd

There is a big difference between available and accessible- let’s start with this awareness as we create open materials for true openness. #CascadiaOpenEd

There is a lesson for #OER advocates in what Dr. Karen Cangialosi says about considering our end goals and welcoming late students to class- remember to give your OER-skeptical colleagues the same courtesy. They might come to the party someday if they don’t feel judged. #CascadiaOpenEd

Big love to the idea of #openped as a tool to invite students to help solve issues that students face. Dr. Karen Cangialosi at #CascadiaOpenEd

I’m trading in my aggressive optimism line for Dr. Karen Cangialosi and her ideas of radical optimism! #CascadiaOpenEd

It’s not ideal, but it is very visually available for faculty in Virginia to find #OER courses, Dr. Preston Davis describes the #OER courses tab in Blackboard. #OEGlobal18

The audience chuckled when she talked about how she massaged an existing grant to support OER work, but Barbara Illowsky hits on a good point that support for open ed work is often supported by savvy administrators. #OEGlobal18

If the information desert is greening, the old adage about leading horses to water, and not making them drink is very applicable in the open ed movement- inspiring learning has to be part of our goal. One of my thoughts while listening to Peter Smith #OEGlobal18
