Transcript - Create a Vision<\/a><\/p>\n \n Now you may be thinking, \u201cHow do I create an OER vision when I don\u2019t even know what\u2019s possible?\u201d The best approach is to enter into this exercise accepting that visioning is an iterative process \u2014 that your OER vision will evolve \u2014 and that that\u2019s a good thing! Begin with what you do<\/em> know about your learners, your course, your discipline and yourself \u2014 but be open, flexible and responsive throughout the process, as you will find inspiration from many different places (from other people, other resources, your students, etc.) \u2014 and then come back often to review and refine your vision.<\/p>\n\n The following visioning activity will take you through a reflective brainstorming process using prompting questions to help you determine your overall goals for incorporating OER in your course. Work through each step, but don\u2019t hesitate to venture beyond the prompts. Be as creative as you wish!<\/p>\n\n Decide how you would like to document your vision. There are several different approaches \u2014 from using curation tools to the good, old pencil-and-paper approach! Choose the approach that works best for you!<\/p>\n\n Work through the following guiding questions and jot down your answers (using the approach you chose in Step 1). As you answer these questions, you might want to include all components that would be on your wish list and then highlight the areas that you will focus on first. Remember, development can occur in a step-by-step process.<\/span><\/p>\n Please note that the guiding questions in the following accordion menu are the same questions found in this guided template [new tab]<\/a>.<\/p>\n The original version of this chapter contained H5P content. You may want to remove or replace this element.<\/p>\n\n This step is simple \u2014 yet critical! Save your vision somewhere accessible so you can return to it throughout this process. Remember, your OER vision will continually evolve \u2014 and it will be important to be able to easily return to it often.<\/p>\n\n The original version of this chapter contained H5P content. You may want to remove or replace this element.<\/p>\n\n Incorporating open educational resources into your course will be an exciting and empowering adventure. You might be tempted to jump right in to start searching for existing content \u2014 or to begin creating content from scratch. However, pausing that temptation and taking the time to create an OER vision \u2014 to help you determine your overall goals \u2014 will result in a more meaningful, focused and impactful end product. Furthermore, documenting this vision will provide you with a valuable, tangible road map to guide your efforts.<\/p>\n Please watch this one-minute video that explains why it\u2019s important to take the time to create a vision.<\/p>\nExtend Activity:<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

Step 4: Share Your Vision<\/h3>\nIf you are comfortable sharing, please add your vision in whatever format it\u2019s in (a link, a picture, a file, etc.) to the following Padlet. To contribute, simply double click anywhere on the Padlet below or click the plus (+) button in the bottom right corner of the Padlet. Once you have initiated your post, you can also use the colourful icons to upload files, add links, add images, etc. This Padlet will be seen by other open educators who are completing this module. For a more accessible version of this activity, please access the web version of this \"OER Vision Sharing\" Padlet [new tab]<\/a>.\n\nSharing at this stage of the process will allow you to receive feedback from peers and gain inspiration from other visions that you can use to enhance your own! It's also no problem if you choose to keep your vision private if you're not yet ready \u2014 or comfortable \u2014 sharing just yet.\n\nOne more thing! Consider sharing beyond this module \u2014 be that with a colleague, a friend or a family member who can be a sounding board for your ideas!\n
Step 5: Comment on Someone Else\u2019s Vision<\/h3>\nPlease revisit the Padlet above and comment on someone else\u2019s vision. To do this, use the comment feature found below each post in the Padlet to ask a question, comment on something you like, suggest something the author may not have thought of, or to make any other respectful, constructive comment.\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n ","rendered":"
