Learn to Make Course Maps

• Often textbooks have too much information

• Organized course maps help you to see what is missing

• Define all of the skills students need to complete assignments and achieve outcomes

• Helping to design – bigger chance to be involved

• Make the process explicit to yourself and the faculty member

OE ADVOCACY

Advocacy

• Plan for success

• Develop message

• Identify challenges and opportunities

• Collect allies

The term advocate is a little misleading. Most library advocates are planners, designers, content supporters, champions, project managers, developers, and experts who support open education at multiple levels and in many guises.

Brief Review

If A is all the time and D is never, select the most appropriate description of the last time you had a strategic conversation about how your library messages open education.

A. OE is part of our strategic plan.

B. 3-5 times this year, it’s a developing plan.

C. We really want to, but we’re way too busy for that.

D. I’m on a fact-finding mission.
