Submitted for Final Assignment, Category 1, Option 2

The Option I chose for this first Category of the final assignment in my course is to “annotate the Additional Resources sections with either notes on what sources were most helpful or suggestions for additional sources to add.”  I have created this annotation in a Google Sheet.  In this sheet I am to:

    • Highlight or add at least five resources–one for each unit. Describe how/why they are relevant. Note where in the unit your resources build on ideas presented (citing the unit section number and paragraph).
    • Additionally, suggest at least 3 annotations for new resources to add from non-North American sources.  Describe how/why they are relevant. See grading rubric for annotation requirements.

I chose this option as I think it might be useful to others (and useful to me to easily refer back to as I move forward promoting Open at our institution)!

Note that my Category 2 is a “choose your own adventure”, and will be posted on a separate WordPress site.

So, to give you a quick snapshot, I have chosen to highlight the following Additional Resources to annotate in order of Unit number:

  1. Debunking the Tragedy of the Commons by On the Commons.
  2. The Public Domain Manifesto by Communia.
  3. About the Open Publication License by David Wiley.
  4. User Related Drawbacks of Open Content Licensing by Till Kreutzer (section 5.6) in Open Content Licensing: From Theory to Practice, edited by Lucie Guibault and Christina Angelopoulos.
  5. Module 9: Accessibility by Open Washington: Open Educational Resources Network.

And I have chosen the following three non-North American resources to add to the Additional Resources list for Unit 5:

  1. The Open Scotland website
  2. On Education and Democracy: 25 Lessons from the Teaching Profession
  3. Adoption and Impact of OER in the Global South

To access the full annotations for these resources, go to my Annotation Google Sheet.

Stay tuned for my next post which will link you to my Category 2, Choose your own Adventure Option!
