Next week I have lots of classes coming through and I have to give those requests priority. I have a conflict next week during our meeting time – I now have a class scheduled that goes until 2:20. Here are a few options: Does it work for people to have the meeting on Monday at 2:30? If not we have a few options – since we are set up in WebEx, I have to open the meeting – I am not absolutely confident that I will remember to do that while teaching a class. If someone else would like to set up a meeting for that time and chair it (I can send the agenda), you could go ahead without me (please make sure you invite Selina who is copied on this email). options: - Someone else set up and chair the meeting for the same time, 1:30 Monday, Feb. 10 - Change the meeting time to Monday, Feb. 10, at 2:30 - Change the meeting time to Friday, Feb. 14, at 1:00 - Sent written feedback to Selina - postpone the discussion until our March 9. 1:00 meeting (not sure if this is too much of a delay for Selina); we have another guest already scheduled for that day but can probably fit two guest in. Selina sent these questions related to her findability project for BCcampus for us to consider ahead of the meeting. From Selina: As discussed, here are the few questions that may come up at the meeting. I suspect we will only have time to address one of them, but they are good to get people thinking about the kind of information we are looking for: 1. What was your last experience adopting (or trying to implement) an Open textbook for you like? * Why did you do it? * Where did you go? * What was difficult or annoying in the process? * What was easier/harder than if you had not bothered to consider an Open textbook? 1. What do you wish you had or what service/tool do you wish existed to make Open textbooks less of a pain for you (or for your colleagues)? 2. We have a few ideas of how to make finding textbooks better based on what librarians, students, instructional designers, and accessibility staff are saying. We would like to try some of these out, but want to get honest feedback from instructors on whether these ideas will truly help. Would you be willing to spend an hour of your time with me providing your insights? Let me know what we should do – I am away on Friday so if you could send your thoughts soon, that would be great! Please send your thought too Selina. Again, my apologies!!!
