- What’s your goal concerning OER this semester? This year? In the next couple of years?
- What changes do you hope OER brings to your classroom or your students?
Note: as soon as you introduce specific online sources for content, like OpenStax or the OER Course Development set, your audience will want to start playing around with them, and sustaining a discussion will be much more difficult.
Save the reveal of electronic resources until you’re ready for the transition from discussion to individual, hands-on work.
