Improved clarity of open-source educational materials #32

Closed moorepants closed 5 years ago

moorepants commented 5 years ago

I swapped the order of the submission types to 1) match the order of the explanations below and 2) to make the content type more primary.
I replaced "open-source learning modules" with "open-source educational materials" to make the documents consistent and only use one term.
I expanded the definition of "open-source educational materials" with an attempt to be more clear and specific (because I'm still confused what the original wording meant).

@labarba Can you have a look at this change? I may or may not be interpreting the original wording correctly, but hoping to improve clarity.

moorepants commented 5 years ago

@openjournals/jose-editors Would anyone be willing to give some feedback on this?

moorepants commented 5 years ago

Thanks!

These documents should embody both course/lesson content and associated instructor notes.

I'm ambivalent about this language, which may be read as requesting separate instructor notes (even though the verb "embody" can be read to mean the content itself serves both purposes). I think what we do want to stress is that the materials should be reusable for other instructors to readily adopt for their teaching.

I've updated the text based on Lorena's feedback. Ready for review.
