My OEF Results

Hi everyone,

Here are my results for the OEF survey:

Survey results


I was excited to read over my recommendations, as I'm still very new to this area and am looking for ways to improve and make my practice more open. I've set the following 3 development goals for myself:

  • Next Week: Learn about Open Badges
  • Next Month: Share my ideas and drafts of a course or a class openly on social media (i.e. Twitter or on my blog)
  • Next Year: Make my teaching resources openly available (in a repository and by using CC licenses)- make this a default for my practice going forwards

From completing this survey, I can see that I still have a long way to go, but at least I have a few ideas moving forward and some goals to work towards.

Lydia

What a great plan Lydia - covers all aspects of your practice and "open by default" is a great approach. Will be watching as you share more through social media in the coming months!

Great visual and screen shot Lydia. It's nice to see your growth goals for the next short while. They seem achievable, it would be interesting to hear what if any barriers or challenges emerge for you over that time as well.

Lydia, great specific goals. I particularly like your plan for next year. I, too, am going to give that a try. Have you thought about where you might make them available? What repositories you might use?

Hi Steven,

I'm still thinking about repositories and debating what would be the best fit. Thinking maybe MERLOT? But definitely open to other suggestions, if you have any. :)

I also recently attended a session by another librarian at my institution, where the person reminded us to put our teaching materials, conference presentations, etc. into our own institutional repository (IR). Apparently, we are really good at suggesting the IR to faculty members and students, but aren't great at putting our own stuff in there. I think it's a good place to start- but for many IRs the content isn't always very discoverable by search engines, etc. So, I've made a note to deposit my own work in our IR and also in an OER repository.
