WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:09.300 Morgan Briles: This will be available on our OER research guide as well as our ScholarWorks platform, which is our institutional repository. 2 00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:15.960 Morgan Briles: Okay. So Jonathan, would you like to introduce yourself? 3 00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:26.640 Jonathan Helmke: Hi, my name is Jonathan Helmke. I am the library director at Steen Library here, but also, I'm interested in OER and open educational resources. 4 00:00:27.690 --> 00:00:29.430 Jonathan Helmke: Especially in light of, 5 00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:31.920 Jonathan Helmke: In terms of, 6 00:00:33.150 --> 00:00:43.680 Jonathan Helmke: The bigger picture of, you know, this transformation of our institution. So, so I'm glad everyone is here today to talk about this. So, Morgan continue on. 7 00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:44.970 Morgan Briles: Alright, great. 8 00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:47.700 Morgan Briles: So I have a...oh 9 00:00:50.910 --> 00:01:03.510 Morgan Briles: All right, now we're moving. Okay, so the first question that I want to kind of use to get our conversation started is, what do you think of when you hear the term OER, open educational resources? 10 00:01:03.870 --> 00:01:09.570 Morgan Briles: What comes to mind? anyone is welcome to the answer in the chat or turn their mic on and speak. 11 00:01:16.350 --> 00:01:24.150 Morgan Briles: Kim. Kim said affordable Rachel said free resources. Awesome. Awesome. 12 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:31.800 Morgan Briles: Any you know formats or anything else come to mind? 13 00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:35.550 Let's see. 14 00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:39.270 Morgan Briles: Jon, would you mind monitoring the chat 15 00:01:40.530 --> 00:01:43.710 Morgan Briles: during my segment of the presentation? 16 00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:47.760 Thank you. 17 00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:51.270 Morgan Briles: So free, affordable. 18 00:01:53.010 --> 00:01:54.180 Morgan Briles: What else are folks saying? 19 00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:02.640 Jonathan Helmke: There's some questions about quality. 20 00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:09.090 Jonathan Helmke: Because of the editorial process normal textbooks usually go through. 21 00:02:11.310 --> 00:02:19.350 Morgan Briles: So like the perception that perhaps they're not as reviewed as rigorously as like a textbook, published by MacMillan or Pearson, that kind of thing. 22 00:02:20.490 --> 00:02:21.240 Morgan Briles: Okay. 23 00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:23.550 Morgan Briles: right, right 24 00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:27.240 Morgan Briles: Okay, yeah, that's 25 00:02:28.350 --> 00:02:31.200 Morgan Briles: Something that we'll talk about a little bit is how 26 00:02:32.220 --> 00:02:38.160 Morgan Briles: OER publishers have responded to the perception that, you know, just because something's free means it's not quality. 27 00:02:39.870 --> 00:02:45.420 Morgan Briles: I'm actually going to share this is the definition, according to the Texas government 28 00:02:45.990 --> 00:02:57.990 Morgan Briles: For what an open educational resources is. This is from Texas Senate bill 810 and I believe it's from 2017 or 2019 one of the very recent legislative sessions. 29 00:02:58.710 --> 00:03:15.240 Morgan Briles: And so it says an open educational resource means a teaching, learning or research resource that is in the public domain or has been released under an intellectual property license that permits the free use and repurposing of the resource by any person. 30 00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:30.780 Morgan Briles: The term may include full course curricula, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge. 31 00:03:32.070 --> 00:03:41.580 Morgan Briles: So that's a pretty broad definition and it's a lot broader than what a lot of folks think of when they think of OER. They think very specifically 32 00:03:42.030 --> 00:03:55.170 Morgan Briles: of digital textbooks or textbooks that are available for free online. But part of why we wanted to do these workshops was to kind of expand everyone's idea a bit about what we conceive of as OER 33 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:07.410 Morgan Briles: And how the the platform and format has really evolved a lot over the last, you know, decade, five years or so. So I would say it's not your mom's OER. 34 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:17.760 Morgan Briles: So there are actually a lot of universities and publishers that are specifically dedicated to publishing open educational resources. 35 00:04:19.710 --> 00:04:29.880 Morgan Briles: For example, Rice University has their Openstax publishing unit and that is dedicated solely to publishing open access college textbooks. It goes through a very 36 00:04:31.110 --> 00:04:38.280 Morgan Briles: rigorous peer review process and editorial process like similar to one would like a big publisher. 37 00:04:40.230 --> 00:04:51.630 Morgan Briles: There's all kinds of people publishing modules, lab assignments, videos, courseware, there are online libraries that are dedicated to sharing and curating OER 38 00:04:52.470 --> 00:05:07.320 Morgan Briles: There are software tools and packages for faculty who want to publish their own open educational resources. They are librarians who whose role is to promote and help faculty author OER on their campus. 39 00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:13.140 Morgan Briles: A lot of universities are getting involved too, as I mentioned Rice University out of Houston. 40 00:05:14.190 --> 00:05:34.110 Morgan Briles: SUNY has their SUNY Open Textbook program, and the University of Minnesota has the Open Education Network as well. So those are just some of the few big names that are getting involved in this. This also includes the state of Texas. So something going back to the 41 00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:41.010 Morgan Briles: definition from the Senate bill, part of what came out of that legislative session was the 42 00:05:42.210 --> 00:05:48.300 Morgan Briles: Dedicated OER platform for the state of Texas. So let me actually, I can pull it up. 43 00:05:49.500 --> 00:05:50.610 Morgan Briles: briefly. 44 00:05:52.470 --> 00:05:54.240 Morgan Briles: I'll just pause my share for a second. 45 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:57.660 Morgan Briles: Oh. Okay. 46 00:06:00.180 --> 00:06:06.960 Morgan Briles: Well, I'll show you the portal in a second. But basically it's it's launched on September 1 of this year. 47 00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:23.700 Morgan Briles: And it's part of the state, set it up. It's run by the Higher Educational Coordinating Board here in the state called OERTX repository. A lot of the resources that Jonathan and I are going to show you today actually came from that repository, and it's an easy way to to have 48 00:06:25.650 --> 00:06:31.380 Morgan Briles: Open Educational Resources curated and dedicated to institutions here in Texas. 49 00:06:32.820 --> 00:06:41.910 Morgan Briles: It also does include an authoring platform called Open Author that you can use to submit resources or contribute your own there. 50 00:06:42.990 --> 00:06:48.840 Morgan Briles: Any questions that have come in so far. 51 00:06:50.790 --> 00:06:55.080 Jonathan Helmke: Yeah, Jennifer Newquist may come in here about there is going to be a 52 00:06:56.730 --> 00:07:01.170 Jonathan Helmke: session that the state is hosting next week on the 28th. 53 00:07:02.370 --> 00:07:03.000 Jonathan Helmke: So, 54 00:07:04.140 --> 00:07:06.180 Jonathan Helmke: Maybe we could put that in the LibGuide Morgan. 55 00:07:07.170 --> 00:07:08.640 Jonathan Helmke: For that for that registration 56 00:07:09.990 --> 00:07:11.940 Morgan Briles: Yes, I'm signed up for that. I'm excited. 57 00:07:11.970 --> 00:07:25.200 Morgan Briles: Sounds good. Yeah, I encourage you all to attend that if you're interested in the specific OER Texas platform. Yeah, and I'll send the link and our follow up email about this. 58 00:07:26.550 --> 00:07:40.530 Morgan Briles: So one thing we're trying to to share is that you don't... There's a lot of stuff that's that's out there and there's a community based around OERs with instructors. librarians, and OER publishers, so you don't actually have to 59 00:07:40.770 --> 00:07:44.940 Morgan Briles: reinvent the wheel ff you want to use OER in your courses. 60 00:07:46.320 --> 00:07:51.450 Morgan Briles: There's a lot of people willing to share and you can make revisions and remix things and 61 00:07:52.740 --> 00:07:59.940 Morgan Briles: So you're not alone. And you don't have to, you know, author your own textbook from scratch. 62 00:08:01.950 --> 00:08:21.300 Morgan Briles: So I'll mention as a bit of an aside, sometimes these terms can get confused a lot: So OER, open access, and no cost resources. So like in the the Texas State definition that I mentioned, something that is OER is licensed specifically to allow for derivative works and for wide 63 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:23.730 Morgan Briles: reproduction. 64 00:08:25.050 --> 00:08:31.680 Morgan Briles: So that makes it very easy for you to remix or make any edits that you would need. And it's also free 65 00:08:33.150 --> 00:08:49.140 Morgan Briles: and can be distributed very easily. Open access publications, they can be read freely, but their distribution could be limited, and usually derivative works might also be limited as well. So like an article on an open access journal 66 00:08:50.370 --> 00:09:01.140 Morgan Briles: That might have a creative commons non derivative license. So you can't remix that but that's still something that's that's free to use for your students and doesn't 67 00:09:02.280 --> 00:09:03.570 Morgan Briles: add any extra cost 68 00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:11.280 Morgan Briles: for their resources there. And then there's also the no cost resources and this is a larger, more broad group. 69 00:09:12.150 --> 00:09:21.810 Morgan Briles: So these are things you can incorporate into your course, but they don't have any additional cost to students. But they generally are going to remain under standard US copyright license. So 70 00:09:23.250 --> 00:09:37.800 Morgan Briles: this would be things in library databases that we subscribe to. So our library pays for these resources, but you can incorporate them into your Brightspace course and have students use them and it doesn't cost them any extra 71 00:09:39.870 --> 00:09:46.830 Morgan Briles: So we have all we have databases, ebooks, reference works, streaming videos, that we encourage you to use 72 00:09:47.520 --> 00:10:03.600 Morgan Briles: in your teaching materials. Generally, the distribution for these would have to be more limited to like a Brightspace course shell and perhaps would be temporary and but if you have any questions about how to use library resources in D2L, 73 00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:11.820 Morgan Briles: You can let us or the Center for Teaching and Learning know and we'd be happy to help you all out. 74 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:18.510 Morgan Briles: And we think that using a combo of all three of these materials can save a lot of students money. 75 00:10:20.850 --> 00:10:24.150 Morgan Briles: So, and we encourage encourage you all to 76 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:36.060 Morgan Briles: So any other questions or comments or questions about that? Or if Jonathan wants to add anything he can as well. 77 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.820 Jonathan Helmke: I think we're good to go. 78 00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:53.040 Morgan Briles: So one more discussion question before we get into the module examples that we have. 79 00:10:58.260 --> 00:11:09.000 Morgan Briles: Okay, so if you have been interested in using OER or other no cost resources, but you haven't been able to what have been your biggest obstacles? 80 00:11:27.750 --> 00:11:28.200 Okay. 81 00:11:31.830 --> 00:11:43.080 Morgan Briles: So I'm seeing in the chat time, concerns about quality, content isn't specific, maybe is too to general or too lower level. 82 00:11:44.190 --> 00:11:47.910 Morgan Briles: Okay, okay. Um, do you know 83 00:11:48.990 --> 00:11:54.630 Morgan Briles: Has, does anyone in here. Are they using any OERs in their, their courses at this time? 84 00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:01.710 Morgan Briles: Or know of any peers who have and it's been successful or 85 00:12:03.090 --> 00:12:05.820 Morgan Briles: anything related to that that they'd want to share? 86 00:12:26.970 --> 00:12:30.720 Morgan Briles: Oh, the American Yawp that open textbook. 87 00:12:32.310 --> 00:12:51.930 Morgan Briles: And Openstax. So there's the OpenStax American History textbook. And then there's [The American Yawp] one too, which I've heard is good as well. Yeah. And so organization could be different than how you teach things. Okay to connect with Merlot. Okay. Okay. Cool. 88 00:12:53.970 --> 00:12:59.910 Morgan Briles: Um, Kelly. Can you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by material to connect with Merlot 89 00:13:09.780 --> 00:13:12.570 Morgan Briles: Typing or speaking is fine, whichever you're more comfortable with. 90 00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:40.980 Morgan Briles: Oh yes, they do. Yeah, Merlot is really big. That's a really big library and old. I think it's from the California State. 91 00:13:42.570 --> 00:13:45.240 Morgan Briles: I think it's where it's initially was set up. 92 00:13:46.020 --> 00:13:59.130 Morgan Briles: But yeah, that's a really big library and they have all kinds of... that's one that has a very diversified body of content so that it has textbooks, but modules, course plans, exams were some, some of the libraries that are online are more 93 00:14:00.090 --> 00:14:04.770 Morgan Briles: Focused on specifically textbooks or specifically videos or something like that. 94 00:14:05.970 --> 00:14:06.270 Morgan Briles: Okay. 95 00:14:07.740 --> 00:14:08.100 Morgan Briles: Great. 96 00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:14.640 Morgan Briles: Okay, so now what I would like to do 97 00:14:15.930 --> 00:14:23.160 Morgan Briles: is show some examples of course that I've made in Brightspace using no cost resources. 98 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.250 Morgan Briles: So let me just 99 00:14:27.420 --> 00:14:30.480 Morgan Briles: stop screen sharing quickly. 100 00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:46.950 Morgan Briles: Okay. Can everyone see a Brightspace 101 00:14:48.510 --> 00:14:49.020 Morgan Briles: Screen? 102 00:14:53.550 --> 00:14:54.780 Morgan Briles: I think it's sharing. 103 00:14:56.280 --> 00:14:57.210 Jonathan Helmke: Yeah, Morgan. 104 00:14:57.450 --> 00:14:58.110 Morgan Briles: Okay, great. 105 00:14:59.340 --> 00:15:03.060 Morgan Briles: Okay, so what we've done is we've highlighted some examples that 106 00:15:04.260 --> 00:15:17.040 Morgan Briles: you can use to kind of Jonathan dubs these plug and play because you can grab different pieces from the OER resources that are out there, you know, a little a couple open access journal articles, you know, maybe some library 107 00:15:17.850 --> 00:15:30.780 Morgan Briles: resources and pull them into Brightspace and create a custom course text for you that meets your needs. So I made this one for Early American Literature. 108 00:15:32.640 --> 00:15:46.050 Morgan Briles: So I'm using two different sources for the most part one is the American Literature I course from Lumen Learning. So I grabbed this from this is from the OERTX 109 00:15:47.340 --> 00:15:51.240 Morgan Briles: Repository. I'll just go ahead and open this in a new tab quick so we can 110 00:15:52.500 --> 00:16:13.500 Morgan Briles: take what that looks like. So this is the homepage. So it's OERTX.highered.texas.gov. You can search by education levels, so technical, upper, lower, graduate, as well as by subject. this is the OER Commons platform, but it was specifically made 111 00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:23.220 Morgan Briles: for Texas. So it's very tailored to like kind of what our state's goals are regarding OER and higher education. It's expanding a lot 112 00:16:23.970 --> 00:16:32.250 Morgan Briles: It just launched in September, but I've noticed that they've been adding more works as time was going on. And also there's that webinar that they are doing next week. 113 00:16:33.270 --> 00:16:36.990 Morgan Briles: That will talk more in depth about this platform as well. 114 00:16:39.420 --> 00:16:56.190 Morgan Briles: So this is American Literature I. This is a Lumen Learning does a lot of web based content that it's easily can easily download as a PDF is also because it's web based it's more interactive. That's how they they want it to be. 115 00:16:57.750 --> 00:17:11.760 Morgan Briles: And I also took some pieces from this book from the University of North Georgia Press called Becoming America: An Exploration of American Literature from Precolonial to Post revolution. 116 00:17:12.270 --> 00:17:21.450 Morgan Briles: This is a PDF version. I also got this from OERTX. it can, it's print on demand. So student can buy print version for I think $25 117 00:17:23.340 --> 00:17:31.080 Morgan Briles: And it's also a good peer reviewed source for early American literature. So here's how I set things up in this course. 118 00:17:33.120 --> 00:17:37.380 Morgan Briles: So I've pulled in the web page from the Lumen Learning course. 119 00:17:38.490 --> 00:17:46.860 Morgan Briles: about the Second Great Awakening and Transcendentalism, so this matches what you would see on the website. It's got their content 120 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.500 Morgan Briles: here. Some of their 121 00:17:50.970 --> 00:17:56.250 Morgan Briles: pages have videos, or links to audio recordings of 122 00:17:57.420 --> 00:18:02.640 Morgan Briles: the works. So this gives some background about, you know, the religious and social cultural 123 00:18:03.810 --> 00:18:12.990 Morgan Briles: aspects of Transcendentalism, and it also you can link out to the whole book and see the specific licensing and attributions for each section. 124 00:18:17.760 --> 00:18:22.860 Morgan Briles: And it was really easy to do this. It just took a minute to create a new link in Brightspace. 125 00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:36.150 Morgan Briles: The next thing is that I took some segments from library references that we have. So this is from the Encyclopedia of American Literature that the library subscribes to 126 00:18:37.530 --> 00:18:47.790 Morgan Briles: It explains more about the philosophy behind Transcendentalism. I took these photos from the Wikimedia Commons. So these are all in the public domain. Very easy to pull in 127 00:18:49.290 --> 00:19:00.270 Morgan Briles: These bios link out to Encyclopedia of American Literature, which is a library resource to give some background on a three of these authors. 128 00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:16.440 Morgan Briles: And I grabbed some of the readings as well. So these are all from the this Becoming America textbook in the PDF format. 129 00:19:17.520 --> 00:19:31.530 Morgan Briles: The online course format also supports multiple modalities. So we have the PDF version of "Self Reliance", but there's also audio version as well. So, and on so a student who learns better, as more of an auditory learner, 130 00:19:32.730 --> 00:19:36.840 Morgan Briles: could listen to that essay instead of reading the PDF. 131 00:19:39.630 --> 00:19:48.090 Morgan Briles: And so I'll go ahead and I'll open this one for one of my favorites. Margaret Fuller's "The Great Lawsuit" which is a very interesting essay if you've never read it. 132 00:19:49.770 --> 00:19:55.710 Morgan Briles: So I just kind of clipped a piece from that full text PDF and it's got a little bit of a 133 00:19:56.850 --> 00:20:04.680 Morgan Briles: biography about her, you know, it says where the resources came from, man. It's got the full text. 134 00:20:05.820 --> 00:20:07.470 Morgan Briles: And there's also 135 00:20:08.580 --> 00:20:20.130 Morgan Briles: some discussion and reading questions at the bottom, the very end. So you can see this is very, it looks very much like a traditional print textbook, even though this is available online for free. 136 00:20:21.270 --> 00:20:22.740 Morgan Briles: You can reuse or edit 137 00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:27.780 Morgan Briles: both the lumen and this version. 138 00:20:29.550 --> 00:20:35.100 Morgan Briles: of the literature textbook. You can change the questions, you can take the different pieces that you want. And so 139 00:20:36.210 --> 00:20:42.810 Morgan Briles: in essence, I created my own lesson on Transcendentalism taking different free resources. 140 00:20:44.370 --> 00:20:46.770 Morgan Briles: Both OER and that library piece 141 00:20:47.820 --> 00:20:53.400 Morgan Briles: To make this little module and it didn't take a super long time 142 00:20:56.580 --> 00:21:04.860 Morgan Briles: And also a good thing about building these in Brightspace is that your students are already very familiar with this platform. They don't have to learn anything extra. 143 00:21:05.850 --> 00:21:15.060 Morgan Briles: And you also spend a lot of time doing coursework in Brightspace. So there's, you don't need to learn a new system or new software in order to 144 00:21:16.650 --> 00:21:18.030 Morgan Briles: use OER in your 145 00:21:19.410 --> 00:21:20.160 Morgan Briles: courses. 146 00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:23.190 Morgan Briles: Okay. 147 00:21:24.600 --> 00:21:34.950 Morgan Briles: And I also took an essay question that was from one of these books and added it here for discussion, but you guys all know what discussion threads in Brightspace look like. 148 00:21:35.970 --> 00:21:40.620 Morgan Briles: And that's so you know I didn't have to create a lot of my own 149 00:21:43.560 --> 00:21:46.380 Morgan Briles: content or ancillary materials, things like that. 150 00:21:48.180 --> 00:21:59.550 Morgan Briles: Okay, so that's English. And you have one to show as well, Jonathan right? Any questions about that module or how I found any of these things 151 00:22:01.350 --> 00:22:03.600 Morgan Briles: before we move to the next subject? 152 00:22:22.350 --> 00:22:22.680 Morgan Briles: Okay. 153 00:22:24.150 --> 00:22:27.270 Morgan Briles: Well, I'll hand it over to you, Jonathan. 154 00:22:33.450 --> 00:22:34.050 Morgan Briles: Muted 155 00:22:38.970 --> 00:22:39.780 Morgan Briles: Jonathan you're muted. 156 00:22:44.730 --> 00:22:45.450 Jonathan Helmke: Sorry about that. 157 00:22:46.530 --> 00:23:00.330 Jonathan Helmke: And so basically I was a political science major in college. And so I'm interested in social sciences, especially the psychology, sociology, political science, 158 00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:12.450 Jonathan Helmke: areas. I'm really interested in what's being developed for that now. Additionally, I've noticed that a lot of people have done a lot of OER work in 159 00:23:14.550 --> 00:23:17.730 Jonathan Helmke: In like, for example, government, I noticed 160 00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:29.640 Jonathan Helmke: But other areas are being slowly developed along with psychology, sociology, so I'm going to share my screen here of 161 00:23:30.810 --> 00:23:48.780 Jonathan Helmke: The OER show you, you just see the repository page for Texas now. And so this is the URL that I sent out in the chat from the Texas government that also Morgan showed. One thing I'm going to talk about today is 162 00:23:51.060 --> 00:23:52.230 Jonathan Helmke: in terms of 163 00:23:53.850 --> 00:23:57.480 Jonathan Helmke: the course here and no... 164 00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:00.090 Jonathan Helmke: And so 165 00:24:01.170 --> 00:24:05.520 Jonathan Helmke: what we're gonna do here is I'm going to log back in here real quick. 166 00:24:10.050 --> 00:24:17.340 Jonathan Helmke: So my shell, was I did sociology and I'm going to go into Brightspace here. 167 00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:28.590 Jonathan Helmke: And then I'm going to show here. I did one on the social sciences here and the topic I chose was stratification. 168 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:39.660 Jonathan Helmke: and sociology. And so I'm gonna go to my content here. so I created, was interested in seeing what being developed in terms of 169 00:24:40.800 --> 00:24:53.670 Jonathan Helmke: Stratification that was a topic that I chose. And so what I did is a lot... what's a little different than Morgan's, was that I included from their site 170 00:24:54.120 --> 00:25:07.410 Jonathan Helmke: the PowerPoints that were created by Openstax. And so I've been working with those PowerPoint slides that they've created and they are pretty good. You know, in terms of quality. 171 00:25:08.340 --> 00:25:28.140 Jonathan Helmke: They have been vetted by editorial staff at Openstax. Also, I look at how they're linking the readings to those PowerPoint and also they include the videos in those PowerPoints. So OpenStax has really I think have upped the game, you know, in terms of 172 00:25:29.820 --> 00:25:50.250 Jonathan Helmke: what I call ancillary materials that we traditionally saw McGraw Hill or Cengage or whatever platform traditional publishers have used. And so where I got these from as I did some of the readings like Morgan, but the PowerPoints, I'll show, you one example here is 173 00:25:51.870 --> 00:25:54.270 Jonathan Helmke: I just pluged and play into the 174 00:25:55.590 --> 00:26:12.240 Jonathan Helmke: So it does download the PowerPoint, you know, to my computer and so it's an external resource there. So it was an easy plug and play. Now you can say "Jon where you to get the stuff from?" And so what I did is, I'll go back to here 175 00:26:14.850 --> 00:26:26.700 Jonathan Helmke: The 60 by 30 Texas website here. And so basically I did a search. And that's why I like the Texas one is, I'll go back to the original page here. 176 00:26:27.120 --> 00:26:34.770 Jonathan Helmke: Is that you can search. Then I searched for introduction to sociology, so I was interested in that kind of area. 177 00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:40.680 Jonathan Helmke: And so I kind of knew the name of the textbook I wanted. But if you don't, you could do a keyword search 178 00:26:41.460 --> 00:26:50.460 Jonathan Helmke: Like Morgan was pointing out the education level, that kind of thing you can do. And so I search for that. Then the Introduction to Sociology. 179 00:26:51.000 --> 00:27:02.430 Jonathan Helmke: And I was more interested, I kind of read through these different ones here and about 11 results. I kind of chose the first one. A very interesting one, intro level. 180 00:27:02.970 --> 00:27:13.770 Jonathan Helmke: And most of the time, and they will talk more about this on the 28th, but what they've done is they actually linked to the actual OpenStax site itself. 181 00:27:14.280 --> 00:27:23.550 Jonathan Helmke: So that way, I call the plug and play, where you can then go straight to the Openstax website, it opens up with what we call 182 00:27:24.030 --> 00:27:36.420 Jonathan Helmke: the header here, is from the OER Repository Texas. So here's the top here's kind of the header. So, you know, you're still there on the website, but just opens up in the frame. 183 00:27:37.110 --> 00:27:45.870 Jonathan Helmke: And it opens up in Openstax. Now what's interesting is on Openstax, there is a section called instructor resources. 184 00:27:47.070 --> 00:27:56.910 Jonathan Helmke: And this is where I found then the PowerPoint slides. Okay, and that's where incorporated those, but also they have start developing 185 00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:09.030 Jonathan Helmke: test banks, if you want to use text banks. Also, they also are starting develop some other ancillary materials, along with that. 186 00:28:09.930 --> 00:28:19.980 Jonathan Helmke: What's interesting with Openstax too is that they also have these technology partners, I was kind of going through those, and those are extra things students can buy 187 00:28:22.350 --> 00:28:31.770 Jonathan Helmke: them in terms of Lumen, some other things that people are selling. But what was interesting is the PowerPoint slides. So with Openstax, you have to create a login 188 00:28:32.820 --> 00:28:41.790 Jonathan Helmke: with that, but it was pretty easy to set up a login, then I could download then those plug and play PowerPoint slides into then 189 00:28:42.750 --> 00:28:50.640 Jonathan Helmke: the D2L shell. Like Morgan was mentioning, I really consider valuable as the students don't need to learn another interface. 190 00:28:51.420 --> 00:29:05.580 Jonathan Helmke: You can just plug in right in the URL that I got from Openstax. They make it pretty easy to download and upload into D2L, or if you want to link it to their website that's fine too. 191 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:15.330 Jonathan Helmke: So a lot of times I can then go through and each one so that's what I did. Most of the period was going through those readings that they have 192 00:29:16.050 --> 00:29:27.300 Jonathan Helmke: I chose chapter 11 chapter 12 kind of going on, based on what is actually in there in the textbook. And so in the introduction and sociology textbook. 193 00:29:27.840 --> 00:29:35.130 Jonathan Helmke: And then I did the PowerPoint slides for that and then what I did is I kind of created a discussion forum based on 194 00:29:35.970 --> 00:29:50.580 Jonathan Helmke: And so what I like about that is, then I can then use the chapters,specific chapters that I want to use and so that I linked to those. And so along with the PowerPoint slides that I can then 195 00:29:52.080 --> 00:30:00.780 Jonathan Helmke: I can tweak if I need to. If I feel like some of the topics are not according to that. And so basically, then 196 00:30:03.540 --> 00:30:18.000 Jonathan Helmke: Or that too. And so basically then also this actual discussion forum actually these this assignment came from the OER website and actually 197 00:30:26.520 --> 00:30:39.870 Jonathan Helmke: That on the OER textbooks. You can do I want just choose social science, for example, and actually over here under material type 198 00:30:42.330 --> 00:30:50.310 Jonathan Helmke: they do have assessments and that's where I found the assignment actually is on the assessments here. Also you can do 199 00:30:51.780 --> 00:31:02.370 Jonathan Helmke: they had different modules, you can choose for that too. So I had kind of looked through these material types I kind of picked and chose kind of the assignments I found someone developed 200 00:31:03.150 --> 00:31:15.180 Jonathan Helmke: And so then I can tweak that assignment. So it's not just what Morgan was talking about here and turns up just a textbook, but also they have assignments on there that people created and uploaded. 201 00:31:15.660 --> 00:31:26.250 Jonathan Helmke: Also, they have a full course. So sometimes I'll look through the full course modules and and see. It depends on how they code it 202 00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:35.850 Jonathan Helmke: and so I kind of look through those too. A lot of times I'll go through and choose and mix and match, different types of things I found on the OER 203 00:31:36.420 --> 00:31:46.920 Jonathan Helmke: So that's the beauty of some of these OER websites websites that Morgan is going to link to from the, from the course guide, is that you can search for not just the textbooks, but also sample assignments. 204 00:31:48.360 --> 00:31:59.760 Jonathan Helmke: Example syllabi that people put up also people put on, they may put a module that they developed in Brightspace and put it in there or Blackboard. 205 00:32:00.300 --> 00:32:12.330 Jonathan Helmke: And so that's where some of these sites come in as you can plug and play anything along with library websites into then your D2L shell. 206 00:32:15.270 --> 00:32:19.980 Jonathan Helmke: Are there any questions from the group in terms of what kind of I did? 207 00:32:30.030 --> 00:32:32.310 Morgan Briles: I will just add one thing is that 208 00:32:33.660 --> 00:32:42.180 Morgan Briles: So Openstax, like you mentioned, has a lot of those kind of official Openstax created PowerPoints, Assignments, Tests banks. 209 00:32:42.840 --> 00:32:58.650 Morgan Briles: So those on the website. But one thing that's great about the Open Access community is a lot of faculty who adopt open access textbooks. They might remix or make an assignment and then they will share that with others who are using that textbook, so 210 00:33:00.180 --> 00:33:13.560 Morgan Briles: there's like these different hubs on OER Commons of people using the same textbook sharing things that maybe not be, you know, the official Openstax test bank but it's one they've used in their class or their syllabi or. 211 00:33:14.580 --> 00:33:17.070 Morgan Briles: So there's there's lots of 212 00:33:18.360 --> 00:33:23.070 Morgan Briles: There's a big community that's that's very interested in sharing and learning from each other. 213 00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:28.530 Morgan Briles: In addition to just using the resources that come from the publisher. 214 00:33:38.580 --> 00:33:44.580 Jonathan Helmke: Okay so Morgan. If you want to wrap up here and then I can, we can answer specific questions too here 215 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:46.770 Jonathan Helmke: Yes, yes. 216 00:33:56.310 --> 00:33:57.270 Morgan Briles: Let's see. 217 00:34:00.030 --> 00:34:02.370 Morgan Briles: Should be back at my PowerPoint. Can you all see it. 218 00:34:05.310 --> 00:34:05.580 Okay. 219 00:34:09.690 --> 00:34:18.240 Morgan Briles: Okay, so this is kind of our little wrap up slide where we ask, you know, if you're interested in learning more, I would hope so. 220 00:34:19.050 --> 00:34:29.880 Morgan Briles: Um, or if you have any questions for us. So like Jonathan mentioned, there is our LibGuide that I've written that for OER and that has 221 00:34:30.210 --> 00:34:45.060 Morgan Briles: links to.. It has a lot of the kind of the full the five ours framework for OER more elaborated on there as well as a lot of the major online libraries for OER and they're actually a few specific 222 00:34:46.200 --> 00:34:54.600 Morgan Briles: search engines that universities have built that will search multiple of those OER online libraries at the same time, which is pretty cool. 223 00:34:56.160 --> 00:35:12.150 Morgan Briles: So we also want to know how the library can help you, you know, do you want help finding some no cost or OER resources for your class? Like we can certainly help look and and find things that would be appropriate for you. 224 00:35:13.230 --> 00:35:17.400 Morgan Briles: Are you interested in writing or publishing your own OER? Doing our remix? 225 00:35:18.510 --> 00:35:21.840 Morgan Briles: We'd also like to know how we can help make that happen too. 226 00:35:22.860 --> 00:35:27.450 Morgan Briles: Have you already written something and maybe you're interested in sharing it with a wider audience? 227 00:35:28.860 --> 00:35:42.240 Morgan Briles: Let's talk about it and talk about what how how comfortable you feel sharing maybe work you made for your class in our repository or in one of these libraries. So you're welcome to contact myself 228 00:35:43.380 --> 00:35:53.580 Morgan Briles: or Jonathan with any questions, concerns, and even if they're very specific to your class, 'I need help finding this resource' or 'I need. I want something that talks specifically like this.' 229 00:35:55.680 --> 00:35:59.820 Morgan Briles: We want to help. So this is as much 230 00:36:01.980 --> 00:36:10.320 Morgan Briles: This is a we want to get some we want to share some information about this with you, but we also want to get more information about how we can help and what your needs are 231 00:36:11.490 --> 00:36:14.610 Morgan Briles: So we can meet your open education resource goals. 232 00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:16.410 Morgan Briles: So, 233 00:36:17.610 --> 00:36:19.680 Morgan Briles: Any questions, comments 234 00:36:22.950 --> 00:36:28.170 Morgan Briles: from the audience,anything else that Jonathan or someone else would like to add? 235 00:36:29.040 --> 00:36:32.910 Jonathan Helmke: Just one quick thing Morgan can click on the LibGuide this real quick? 236 00:36:33.030 --> 00:36:37.920 Jonathan Helmke: Yes, so we'll be sending this link out an email here. 237 00:36:39.270 --> 00:36:54.630 Jonathan Helmke: And so I just want to kind of second Morgan here in terms of the link in the LibGuide is that I've used that this past week with helping Jason 238 00:36:55.200 --> 00:37:05.700 Jonathan Helmke: Reese over the College of Business. He's doing a professional selling course. And so one of the things that I encourage you here now Morgan Actually, can you 239 00:37:06.060 --> 00:37:06.960 Jonathan Helmke: Do you need me to share? 240 00:37:07.410 --> 00:37:08.100 Morgan Briles: I got it. It just took me a second. 241 00:37:08.640 --> 00:37:21.030 Jonathan Helmke: Click on the tab OER resources and one things that I was using today for Jason's looking for resources for this particular session plus with Jason 242 00:37:21.510 --> 00:37:32.850 Jonathan Helmke: is I encourage people to use on the left hand side there. There was a link to OASIS And so that is a really I was using today and I was using it some other times. 243 00:37:33.390 --> 00:37:42.840 Jonathan Helmke: If you're looking for specific things they are pretty good about searching cross platforms. You notice they have audio books, modules, open access books. 244 00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:52.800 Jonathan Helmke: So I'd consider that one. I just used it today and I found what needed for this professional selling class that we're looking for specifically. 245 00:37:53.700 --> 00:38:10.920 Jonathan Helmke: So I noticed. Like some people mentioned the California MERLOT system was listed there to OASIS does search MERLOT I've noticed and so they'll pick up things too. So I encourage people to use this guide and to use like OASIS 246 00:38:12.540 --> 00:38:23.040 Jonathan Helmke: because they'll pick up things that Google sometimes won't pick up because the way the crawlers work and how Google searches things versus what OASIS does 247 00:38:24.180 --> 00:38:35.250 Jonathan Helmke: it searches little differently. So you'll pick up things that you normally won't see in a Google search. And so I would really strongly suggest using OASIS or those things. 248 00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:39.180 Jonathan Helmke: For that, too. 249 00:38:43.290 --> 00:38:54.630 Morgan Briles: Yeah SUNY Geneseo is very on their OER game. So they made Oasis and they started the SUNY Open Textbook Program. So they're great. Yeah. 250 00:38:54.930 --> 00:38:59.940 Jonathan Helmke: And Sue mentioned about open access film yeah is the hardest part. 251 00:39:01.980 --> 00:39:10.470 Jonathan Helmke: That is because of Disney and copyright. That's the one thing I've noticed a lot of people shy away from is film. 252 00:39:11.340 --> 00:39:16.830 Jonathan Helmke: Because they don't want to get caught in the copyright game with Disney. We call it the Disney copyright, you know, 253 00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:28.950 Jonathan Helmke: That's one of the major hurdles that a lot of people are trying to, but what we can do is that we can still do a low cost or no cost. 254 00:39:29.580 --> 00:39:37.590 Jonathan Helmke: We have three vendors. We work with where they don't have to subscribe to Netflix or Disney+ or whatever service 255 00:39:38.040 --> 00:39:45.840 Jonathan Helmke: Is that we can get the film. So there's a feature film you want to use or some other film that's copyrighted, just let us know. 256 00:39:46.260 --> 00:39:56.910 Jonathan Helmke: And we have our vendors that can provide access. Usually we pay for a semester or two semesters. A lot of times they'll pay for a whole year. 257 00:39:57.510 --> 00:40:08.280 Jonathan Helmke: And that's okay. We're used to different modules and ways of paying for things that aren't traditionally you know way we've been paying for library resources for many, many years. 258 00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:18.360 Jonathan Helmke: And so yeah, if you have a film or any kind of audio visual type needs us let us know and we can still provide free access to the students. 259 00:40:18.780 --> 00:40:37.560 Jonathan Helmke: And that might not be open, but it may be free access to you and your students then. So I wouldn't discourage you to to opt out films. If there's a film you really want use in class, feel free to reach out to the CTL or the library folks and we can help you out. 260 00:40:38.460 --> 00:40:42.690 Morgan Briles: There's also a streaming video LibGuide that I made to that talks 261 00:40:43.830 --> 00:40:47.160 Morgan Briles: about this me see if I can find it. 262 00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:56.700 Morgan Briles: Yep streaming video and music. So there's some stuff that we do have, but it talks more about options for finding 263 00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:06.330 Morgan Briles: content as well. So like these are some vendors and then these have a lot of stuff that you can use, at least within your 264 00:41:08.130 --> 00:41:08.850 Morgan Briles: Your, your D2L 265 00:41:09.870 --> 00:41:15.570 Morgan Briles: module. Whilel you know you probably can't post them for everyone. Um, but yeah. So this is 266 00:41:17.550 --> 00:41:18.600 Morgan Briles: another resource 267 00:41:19.980 --> 00:41:21.330 Morgan Briles: that you can use. 268 00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:36.330 Sue Whatley: Thank you. I just wanted to say I've spent quite a bit of time trying to find films and ended up resorting to films that universities have made of productions. 269 00:41:37.500 --> 00:41:38.040 Sue Whatley: And 270 00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:46.560 Sue Whatley: While they're, they're really good in terms of sticking to the text. They are terrible, in terms of the acting 271 00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:54.810 Sue Whatley: and props. So anyway, this is nice to know that we have some services that can do that. Thank you. 272 00:41:55.080 --> 00:42:00.630 Jonathan Helmke: Yeah, and so I would encourage you to reach out for licensing options, you know. 273 00:42:01.560 --> 00:42:09.810 Jonathan Helmke: The vendors, Now, especially with people going online this semester and next year a lot of universities that there, and also with the 274 00:42:10.710 --> 00:42:22.950 Jonathan Helmke: pandemic and economic situation a lot universities are in, I noticed the prices are dropping yeah for these vendors. It used to be very prohibitive, they would charge you know $3,000 275 00:42:24.270 --> 00:42:34.860 Jonathan Helmke: for a film, you know, showing, basically. But I noticed they quite dropped in last year because of the whole movie theater issue. 276 00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:41.670 Jonathan Helmke: You know they're looking for income. And so they're willing to share with the academic community. 277 00:42:42.090 --> 00:42:50.700 Jonathan Helmke: And so the prices are dropping. So I see lots of times those feature films that were really prohibitive. They're really dropping because they're looking for any kind of revenue stream. 278 00:42:51.090 --> 00:42:56.550 Jonathan Helmke: And so right now they're looking in. So I see them competing against Netflix and some of the other sites now. 279 00:42:58.140 --> 00:43:02.190 Jonathan Helmke: So yeah, reach out to us and we can you know help negotiate 280 00:43:03.900 --> 00:43:09.510 Jonathan Helmke: access to those films or different things, You know that you need. Good question. 281 00:43:14.790 --> 00:43:20.040 Morgan Briles: Yeah, and to answer Kim's question, the ones that I've linked here on the LibGuide 282 00:43:20.850 --> 00:43:33.900 Morgan Briles: Or other libraries that I recommend. I think these are if you have something very specific, You want to search for, I think, going through oasis. If you're looking for, like, if you know you need a specific aspect of marketing or whatever. 283 00:43:34.830 --> 00:43:37.740 Morgan Briles: But if you just want to more browse and see what's out there. 284 00:43:38.820 --> 00:44:01.290 Morgan Briles: These are these are good starting points to kind of browse and see what's there. What kind of material, things like that. Um, and a lot of them are based out of university is like a OEN is based from University of Minnesota, Openstax is from Rice Open SUNY is from SUNY, LibreTexts is UC Davis. 285 00:44:03.210 --> 00:44:20.130 Morgan Briles: Teaching Commons, That's from the, the, bepress Digital Commons platform. So there are a lot of universities starting to work in this space and university publishers as well. And they have very similar editorial requirements that they would for their 286 00:44:21.750 --> 00:44:37.620 Morgan Briles: For the things that they would publish in in print for pay. So I hope that makes folks feel a bit more comfortable about the quality of what's out there, knowing that there are a lot of prestigious universities getting involved in this space. 287 00:44:39.060 --> 00:44:43.170 Jonathan Helmke: Yeah, so I want a second Megan...I mean Morgan here. Sorry. Megan Weatherly. 288 00:44:44.850 --> 00:44:45.780 Morgan Briles: There is a Morgan and a Megan on the call. 289 00:44:48.240 --> 00:44:50.160 Jonathan Helmke: Anyway, a lot of times 290 00:44:51.300 --> 00:44:51.870 Jonathan Helmke: That 291 00:44:53.190 --> 00:44:53.880 Jonathan Helmke: a lot of these 292 00:44:54.870 --> 00:45:02.370 Jonathan Helmke: Universities because of the prestiege. They want to keep the quality there. And so that's why a lot of times they are 293 00:45:04.110 --> 00:45:12.900 Jonathan Helmke: They are investing money into these systems. And so I and they're adding staff to do the quality control. So it's not just some 294 00:45:13.410 --> 00:45:23.130 Jonathan Helmke: You know, poor worker student, you know, student worker that's just accepting everything they do. They have editorial staff now. A lot of them are hiring designers 295 00:45:23.970 --> 00:45:33.000 Jonathan Helmke: To do, you know ,web design or instructional design like what CTL does with the course shells so a lot of times they'll hire 296 00:45:33.540 --> 00:45:44.970 Jonathan Helmke: People that have actually worked for possibly like Cengage and some of those other traditional publishers. They wanna work for in university and that. And a lot of times it's the mission that's driving them. 297 00:45:46.230 --> 00:45:52.350 Jonathan Helmke: For that, too. So I encourage people to use these resources because that's the quality 298 00:45:53.550 --> 00:46:07.890 Jonathan Helmke: Issue that a lot of people talk about in and this is more and more prevalent now and more pronounced than beforehand. You're right before there were some people who were sketchy. Were kind of sketchy. But now it's become of a 299 00:46:08.670 --> 00:46:23.220 Jonathan Helmke: Coming from these universities and publishers now that are adding that value. I call it extra value to that. And so that's where I think it gets really helpful for that too. 300 00:46:28.380 --> 00:46:30.270 Morgan Briles: I think Jennifer has a question for you. 301 00:46:31.170 --> 00:46:38.370 Jennifer Newquist: I have a question for oyu Jonathan, I was going to ask it. But since we seem to be using the chat predominantly I thought I asked in the chat before I asked. 302 00:46:40.830 --> 00:46:58.590 Jennifer Newquist: I don't think things have changed much probably in the past couple years, but I wanted to double check with you. I know that some people I've been trying to use more often. And I know even in some of the classes that we've been that we've been teaching in our program. 303 00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:20.730 Jennifer Newquist: The library has eresources and I know we're kind of at the whim of the database, whether that will be offered digitally or not, is that changing at all, where some of the texts that are eBooks for us in our library and those databases are remaining kind of constant. So, 304 00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:36.780 Jennifer Newquist: you know, if the next semester we have to, you know, can we, I don't know what I'm asking because I when I was talking before to other people. They said, well, as long as it's in the database or in that repository. It's fine, but then 305 00:47:38.100 --> 00:47:45.030 Jennifer Newquist: I know I was told that the repository changes. What kind of books, they might keep based on need and other things. 306 00:47:47.250 --> 00:47:54.390 Jonathan Helmke: Yeah, and so I would say two things. The article databases, 307 00:47:56.850 --> 00:48:09.060 Jonathan Helmke: like Academic Search Premier, Jstor, some of those article databases are they sign licenses with those publishers to be more 308 00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:22.770 Jonathan Helmke: On the last couple years they've changed those licenses with those publishers to be forever basically. Okay I guess they want and you're right that concern was done by the library too was saying we've those last shifting 309 00:48:24.180 --> 00:48:25.230 Jonathan Helmke: The last couple years. 310 00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:26.880 Jonathan Helmke: Now, 311 00:48:28.050 --> 00:48:40.800 Jonathan Helmke: Now the ebook packages that we get through our vendors, for example, there's one from Proquest. There's a couple that you're right, they do change because the publisher may pull some of those titles out 312 00:48:42.450 --> 00:48:48.900 Jonathan Helmke: For that, too. But I've noticed than last year or so the eBooks have gotten more constant 313 00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:51.360 Jonathan Helmke: Okay and so 314 00:48:52.650 --> 00:49:02.940 Jonathan Helmke: Now, you're right. Anytime the publisher can pull those things from these aggregators I call them, you know, like EBSCO and Proquest and 315 00:49:02.940 --> 00:49:19.440 Jonathan Helmke: Jstor, but we are actually talking to our vendors, more and more and saying, This has to. And so they wasn't to our complaints about this too, and they come back to publishers and sign more licenses that were more lengthy 316 00:49:20.910 --> 00:49:34.590 Jonathan Helmke: And so let's say 10 years. Okay. And so I encourage you to go back and if there's something that needs to be more constant, let us know. Because we can go back to the publisher and negotiate that. 317 00:49:35.580 --> 00:49:41.760 Jennifer Newquist: It's not like anything really has disappeared. But I know, for example, we're using a book for a course. 318 00:49:42.540 --> 00:49:49.170 Jennifer Newquist: And there's another book. Maybe we could be using but we're choosing to use the book that we're using, because it is available 319 00:49:50.070 --> 00:50:02.160 Jennifer Newquist: from the library and that's so it's, an OER I mean it's it's by being a student at the University having access to the library, they have access to that text at no cost to them. 320 00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:12.810 Jennifer Newquist: But our concern was I know in the past. There's been the possibility so Nothing's gotten pulled, but I was just wondering if they were a little more steady because that's 321 00:50:12.990 --> 00:50:17.340 Jennifer Newquist: a chalenge sometimes with using OERs, especially if you're using, like, 322 00:50:17.820 --> 00:50:22.230 Jennifer Newquist: A eBook that is available through like the University Library 323 00:50:23.310 --> 00:50:30.510 Jennifer Newquist: You could use it one semester, And then, think you were going to use it the next semester and find out that it's no longer an Ebook available through the library. 324 00:50:31.380 --> 00:50:39.810 Jonathan Helmke: I would say also the pandemic has really pushed the publishers to keep things in the aggregators and so 325 00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:53.400 Jonathan Helmke: I know that our EBSCO representative told me that they are signing more licenses that are more lengthy. A lot of times it's a year by year license, but now they've gone to, like, five or 10 year 326 00:50:54.810 --> 00:51:00.210 Jonathan Helmke: licenses and so I would say in general um Jennifer that 327 00:51:01.320 --> 00:51:01.800 Jonathan Helmke: That 328 00:51:02.910 --> 00:51:06.000 Jonathan Helmke: I would say you can expect more things to be more constant 329 00:51:06.180 --> 00:51:12.750 Jonathan Helmke: because of the pandemic. I think in the publishers realize that they can get revenue stream from us. 330 00:51:13.830 --> 00:51:17.220 Jonathan Helmke: So they're willing to do what they need to do to keep us as a customer. 331 00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:30.630 Jonathan Helmke: And so they're also too they have now open up to more unlimited licenses and also more downloading of the eBooks versus in the past. So they can open up 332 00:51:31.620 --> 00:51:40.320 Jonathan Helmke: To more where that you can download it now. We're used to be. You can only download so many pages or download only so many chapters from a book. 333 00:51:40.950 --> 00:51:53.010 Jonathan Helmke: But more publishers now are opening up to unlimited licenses that also includes downloading. Where in the past, we only bought like one user at a time. 334 00:51:53.940 --> 00:52:02.790 Jonathan Helmke: So I encourage you to reach out to us if you have questions about licensing because we can renegotiate with the publishers. If we need to open up more 335 00:52:04.650 --> 00:52:06.600 Jonathan Helmke: to more people, for example. 336 00:52:08.130 --> 00:52:19.560 Jonathan Helmke: Some licenses,depends of the publisher, Some are like three users at a time, one user time. But more and more now because of the pandemic now are doing more unlimited licenses. 337 00:52:20.910 --> 00:52:27.660 Jonathan Helmke: And so, and also the downloading part you can download it without having to do a lot of crazy stuff to do to get there. 338 00:52:28.260 --> 00:52:28.890 Jennifer Newquist: That's good. 339 00:52:31.020 --> 00:52:34.020 Jonathan Helmke: Yeah, so keep reaching out to us and along with the film we 340 00:52:34.020 --> 00:52:40.320 Jonathan Helmke: can still do the traditional ebook and ejournal articles, if there's questions about licensing. 341 00:52:41.040 --> 00:52:58.140 Jonathan Helmke: And we can the these publishers and aggregators are interested in more conversations with us, you know now because of the revenue stream that they need to get. And so they're more open now versus other periods of time. So that's a good question. 342 00:53:02.460 --> 00:53:05.940 Morgan Briles: Um, any other questions or comments? 343 00:53:14.190 --> 00:53:14.970 Morgan Briles: Thank you. 344 00:53:16.830 --> 00:53:27.120 Morgan Briles: Great. And well we are at about four. So I guess we can go ahead and wrap up. I'll be sending an email with 345 00:53:28.140 --> 00:53:49.050 Morgan Briles: This the link to this resource as well as a survey shortly after this session. We also do plan to have the recordings in this tab here. I'm still transcribing and making sure all the captioning is accessible but those should be up probably within a few days. 346 00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:53.040 Morgan Briles: But yeah, thanks you guys so much for joining us and 347 00:53:54.720 --> 00:53:57.630 Morgan Briles: Feel free to reach out to Jonathan, or if you have any questions. 348 00:53:58.950 --> 00:54:00.150 Jonathan Helmke: Thank you very much, everyone. 349 00:54:00.180 --> 00:54:01.230 Morgan Briles: For taking to 350 00:54:01.590 --> 00:54:01.890 Jonathan Helmke: Thank you. 351 00:54:09.180 --> 00:54:09.990 Jonathan Helmke: Thank you. Morgan. 352 00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:11.970 Morgan Briles: Yes, I thought that was good. 353 00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:14.640 Jonathan Helmke: Yes, I think I'll get questions so 354 00:54:14.970 --> 00:54:15.540 Morgan Briles: Good question. 355 00:54:15.600 --> 00:54:21.510 Jonathan Helmke: Yeah, Jennifer is a big user of the library. She's always been not a problem education so 356 00:54:21.600 --> 00:54:31.770 Jonathan Helmke: Okay, and so I know with her. Yeah, she has used liar turtles, you know, try to use them. And so a lot of times, so have questions. Yeah. 357 00:54:33.780 --> 00:54:35.220 Jonathan Helmke: But well, good.
