To guide you through a structured reflection for this learning journey, we are going to take time to reflect on growth, challenges, and how your experiences connect to the larger university objectives. You can write your response, create a visual journey map, or record a 5-7 minute video addressing these prompts (graphic, video or another format, please email submission).

  1. Where you began
    1. Reflect back to when you started these modules. What were you initial goals or expectations? How did you feel about the journey ahead? What did you anticipate being your biggest challenges? What motivated you to persist?

Option 2: Application

To promote long-term use and retention of this content, this application exercise will ask you to think about the future and how you will apply this content, aligning with individual, departmental, and university objectives. In a format that works for you: (if you choose a document, infographic, or another format, please email submission)

  1. Reflect on the first module, which focused on OER licensing and creation.
    1. How could you encourage OER usage within your position? Create a 3-5 step action plan to encourage higher rates of OER usage, adoption, and/or creation.
  2. Reflect on the second module, which focused on course design with OER and open pedagogy.
    1. How could you integrate or facilitate the use of open pedagogy into your course design process? What partnerships would need to be involved? Outline a course design process, that aligns with your institutional initiatives and policies, but also incorporates open pedagogy.
  3. Reflect on the final module, which focused on collaboration with other roles, which are both similar and different than your role.
    1. Consider the puzzle pieces of partnership. Which of these elements do you do already? Which ones could use more attention? Create a nine-month plan for increasing collaboration and connections with the two roles different than your role. If your institution does not have one or both of those roles, create a plan for how you will build those connections at other universities or colleges.

Evaluation Criteria: Thoroughly address each prompt, demonstrate connections between the module content and your action plans, and note where features would align with university, departmental, or individual goals and objectives.
