Description

[//]: # "======================= Insert a paragraph providing more context for your project or challenge focuses on. For project leads, this is a good place to give some broader context about your project—beyond the scope of the do-a-thon. If you're posting a challenge, this is a good chance to say how the problem arise or why it feels relevant to you. ============================" This project is intended to bring collaborators together to create a new infographic that presents the intersections of various Open movements and applies them to the daily lives of college students. The project supports the "connecting with other open movements" and "empowering the next generation" priorities discussed in Cape Town Open Education Declaration +10: http://www.capetowndeclaration.org/cpt10/

This resource is inspired by the Association of Research Libraries’ “Fair Use in a Day in the Life of a College Student” infographic: http://www.arl.org/focus-areas/copyright-ip/fair-use/3831-fair-use-in-a-day-in-the-life-of-a-college-student-infographic

The resulting resource will be shared with a CC-BY license, and the participation of all contributors will be acknowledged.

What are we working on during the do-a-thon? What kinds of support do we need?

[//]: # "======================= For those leading projects, please give some more information about what type of support you are specifically looking to get done during the do-a-thon day. Note: Challenge leads will not need to fill out this section and can remove it. ============================"

Michelle Reed, the project lead, is attending remotely and will join the Do-a-Thon online between 13:00 and 17:00 (6 a.m. – 10 a.m. CST).

The primary goal for do-a-thon day is to identify collaborators. Beyond that, we will brainstorm the intersections of various Open movements, discuss the impact of Open on students (undergraduates in particular), write copy, begin the layout and design process, and discuss OER distribution options.

Work on the project will continue after the do-a-thon with an expected completion date of February 16, 2018 (if not sooner). Do-a-thon participants may elect to limit their participation to the hours of the do-a-thon, though continued participation on the project is encouraged. Remote participation is also encouraged, and contributors are welcome to join at any time.

How can others contribute?

[//]: # "======================= Please say what the best way to contribute to the project or challenge is, sometimes that will just be 'lets discuss here' or 'Ive started a Google doc'. If you are a challenge lead, give some context on what design thinking tools you will be using, and how other folks can update their ideas onto the thread. If you are a project lead, and you already have clear ways people can contribute it might be worth linking to them here. Language: If your project is regionally based in a non-English-speaking region, clarify here what language you and contributors will primarily be communicating in. If you're leading a project or challenge participating remotely: Use this space to let people know that this is a remote project and that you are not 'in the room' in Berlin. Let other participants know what the best way to get in touch with you, where the work will happen, and where any updates or outputs will go. If you are at the in-person meeting in Berlin: Be as inclusive as possible to those outside the room. Use this space to give clear instructions to those participating in the do-a-thon remotely on how they can keep up to date and contribute. ============================"

This is a remote project. We'll begin the discussion here following the 13:00 do-a-thon update for in-person participants. As a group, we will determine if there is a need to move the conversation outside the GitHub space. I will also post updates on Twitter at https://twitter.com/LibrariansReed using the hash tag #openinthelife

Email will not be used during the do-a-thon, though it may be the primary means of communication in the long term.

[//]: # "======================= You're ready to post!!! After posting your issue, the real work begins. Next, you might want to: Tweet a link to this issue with #opencon so others can join in Make another issue to involve people in your work - remember to use your metadata Come back from time to time and update the community on your project. You'll get an email update whenever someone interacts with your issue. ============================"

This post is part of the OpenCon 2017 Do-A-Thon. Not sure what's going on? Head here.

Hello OpenCon, and thanks for your interest in contributing to this project. We'll begin brainstorming by responding to a series of questions, which I will post here and on Twitter. To start, let's reflect on our own experiences. Which of the Open movements (Open Access, Open Data, Open Education, Open Science, Open Source, other...) does your work connect most fully to?

michellereed commented 6 years ago

Q2: What inspired you to begin working in Open? Where were you in your education/career?

michellereed commented 6 years ago

Q3: What values do you consider to be foundational for the Open movement you identified in question 1 (that which most embodies your work)? Why are these values important for the community?

michellereed commented 6 years ago

Q4: Which of these values are shared with other Open movements? What else do you have in common?

michellereed commented 6 years ago

Q5: In what ways are you impacted by Open in your day-to-day activities? What open tools do you use? Where do you share your work? How do you discover/consume/engage with the work of others? What are some of the indirect benefits of Open in your daily life?

michellereed commented 6 years ago

Q6: What concerns/risks limit or prevent you from engaging in open practices? How do these concerns intersect with the values identified in questions 3 & 4?

michellereed commented 6 years ago

Q7: Which of these tools/activities/practices/values/beliefs also extend to students? Does Open offer benefits that are unique to students? How are concerns/risk similar? How are they different?

michellereed commented 6 years ago

Q8: What changes about the experience with Open tools etc. as students progress from high school to undergrad to grad school and beyond? What values/practices remain consistent regardless of age and expertise?

My day is just getting started here on the West coast of N. America...I started writing my answers here but then they got long, so I transferred to a blog post: http://blogs.ubc.ca/chendricks/2017/11/13/open-in-the-life-student-questions/
