One concern that I had was that some students might not feel comfortable with sharing their work with a broader audience outside of the class, and I would not want to create assignments where students were pressured or forced to do so. So I would be more inclined to treat open sharing of student work as an optional extra.]]> 2020-07-30 20:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jaime_hannans/6eqpqy3szsac/wish/666151475 https://padlet.com/jaime_hannans/6eqpqy3szsac/wish/671835635 Librarians as a group are generally champions of open access and OER movements--freedom of information is a big deal to us. Making generated knowledge available to the public is a service, and I see that as a benefit (especially since we work for a public institution). I think the challenges are the same challenges we face with the digital humanities, which include (but certainly arent limited to): how do we ensure the longevity of the created resources? What about when that format no longer exists (think Wordperfect files, or Atari games)? What if the 'owner' dies or can't be found? Who is going to pay for the storage and upkeep of the created data? What if students refuse to author something that will be exposed to the public, or refuse the copyright terms under which it would be published? Lots of questions. ]]> 2020-08-06 21:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jaime_hannans/6eqpqy3szsac/wish/671835635
