Thank you so much Cindy!

Will you also address the questions in the Q and A?

Sue - what is the name of the printing service?

Regarding the ability of everyone to become involved with the content development - is that like Wikipedia? If so, how is there control over the accuracy/comprehensiveness of everyone's contributions? I am concerned about this in terms of the integrity of faculty contributions to the OER content. Some of the faculty themselves might have more or less expertise in certain areas...what type of control/regulation might there be in this area...

@Eric - great point - we will discuss the quality of OER later in this presentation and can discuss

Great, thank you!

Erik - Your question should be answered in the next section of the presentation. If not, we will address it directly.

Thanks very much, Bob.

If others have edited your book after they download it, does the book still retain your name on the front cover?

Does anyone know the URL for the site that gives the peer reviews of the textbooks?

OpenStax is peer reviewed. openstax.org

As well as Open Textbook Library

open.umn.edu/opentextbooks

So is Open Textbook Library. You will become part of the peer review as you will hear about later in this presentation.

Thank you!

At NSCC, we tag no cost courses (both free and OER) in addition to low cost (less than $40).

Might some faculty feel stigmatized or otherwise pressured or at a disadvantage if their courses do not have the OER tag? The lack of the tag might well affect which courses run if enrollment declines due to the lack of the tagn( I also posted this in the Q and A but am not sure if we will have time in this session to get back to there...)

I answered Eric's last question in Q&A.

@Susan Fichera - take a look at the Open RN site https://www.nnlm.gov/training/class/open-rn-project-transforming-nursing-education

What is the URL for the Open Pedagogy Textbook?

https://openpedagogy.org/

Thanks!

As these questions are being answered, I hope you notice how important it is for you to go to your librarians and instructional designers who are a very important resource for you at your campus as well as peers who are utilizing these resources.
