LACOL 2017 Session 5: Group Brainstorm
Presenters/Facilitators: Sean Fox, Brian Alexander
Date & Location: June 15 on the Campus of Vassar College (see program details)
SERC
Open educational resources and shared collections are hot topics; at the same time, these concepts have been with us for years. For LACOL, opportunities to develop shared resources (repositories) are frequently proposed … but how can we develop useful collections while avoiding common pitfalls? In this brainstorming session, Sean Fox, Technical Director of the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) at Carleton College will frame the issues as we invite all workshop participants to brainstorm on the what, the why, and the how of shared collections.
Key questions include:
- What are common faculty strategies for seeking and finding teaching resources?
- Can we foster effective processes to develop useful collections* through LACOL?
*these questions are pressing for the QS and Language Instruction working groups, but other opportunities exist for LACOL. What do YOU think?
