FW: OER informational webinars
by Nancy M Foasberg 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Hi All, If any of you are interested in OER (open educational resource) courses, please consider signing up for one or more of these webinars! These can help you save your students money and I don’t want to make it seem like Lumen is the only choice for open educational resources – there are a lot out there, and I’m honestly a little skeptical of companies like Lumen that monetize them. HOWEVER, this is an easy place to start. Thanks, Nancy From: CULIBS-L: CUNY Librarians List [mailto:CULIBS-L@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU] On Behalf Of Ann Fiddler Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2017 6:07 PM To: CULIBS-L(a)LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU Subject: OER informational webinars Colleagues, This was shared with the OER list serv but in light of the huge OER initiative starting up this fall I thought some of you or your faculty might have some interest in this. Lumen Learning offers an OER “out of the box” option and they are hosting webinars for SUNY and CUNY faculty members to walk through several of the OER courses most widely-used in US higher education (see list below; click here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__info.lumenlearning.com_…> to register). These 30-40 minute webinars will provide a show-and-tell overview of ready-to-teach OER course materials that replace expensive textbooks. You’ll have the opportunity to see the OER courses and how they work inside our LMS, learn how you can customize and use them, and ask questions about teaching with OER. After the webinars, registrants will receive instructions for getting your own copy of the course to review and adopt this fall term or beyond. The webinar schedule is: * Wednesday 8/16, 12:00-1:00 pm ET: OER for Business - Intro to Business & Principles of Marketing * Thursday 8/17, 11:00-12:00 pm ET: OER for Biology - Biology I-II * Thursday 8/17, 2:00-3:00 pm ET: OER for Psychology - Intro to Psych * Friday 8/18, 1:30-2:30 pm ET: OER for Writing - Comp I & Dev English * Friday 8/18, 2:30-3:30 pm ET: OER for Math - College Algebra and More * Tuesday 8/22, 12:00-1:00 pm ET: OER for Business - Intro to Business & Principles of Marketing * Tuesday 8/22, 1:30-2:30 pm ET: OER for Math - College Algebra and More * Thursday 8/24, 2:00-3:00 pm ET: OER for Writing - Comp I & Dev English * Friday 8/25, 12:30-1:30 pm ET: OER for Psychology - Intro to Psych * Friday 8/25, 1:00-2:00 pm ET: OER for Statistics * Friday 8/25, 2:00-3:00 pm ET: OER for Biology - Biology I-II You’re welcome to attend any of the webinars and share this invitation with others who may be interested.

Upcoming Project Reporting Workshop at METRO
by Lori A Wallach 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Hello all, Please consider attending this cutting-edge workshop next Monday (8/14), led by our Queens Memory director, Natalie Milbrodt: Natalie Milbrodt here from Queens Library. I'm working with my co-facilitator, Marcus Haraldsson to spread the word about our upcoming workshop<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/reporting-systems-are-dead-long-live-reporting…> (Monday, August 14th 2-5pm) hosted by the Metropolitan NY Library Council, relevant for people who manage academic and community projects. It's about finding ways to make the reports we write to funders more engaging and reusable in our communications with different audiences including ourselves as practitioners. The workshop will have opportunities for information sharing, brainstorming and skill building. We'll also introduce Global Grand Central<https://webmail.queenslibrary.org/owa/redir.aspx?C=NOYj8W5hGizXIgM80POF5r_M…>, which is a (free) social platform for sharing methods and outcomes amongst community-engaged practitioners working across many disciplines and countries. My co-presenter, Marcus, founded the platform as a European project two years ago, and we've now formed a non-profit to support its continuation as an international forum for contributors from three continents (so far). Non-Metro member participants get discounted tickets ($10) by using the promotional code FRIEND when registering. And if you haven't been the Metropolitan New York Library Council's new space, it's definitely worth checking out! Thanks and hope to see you on the 14th! Sincerely, Natalie Lori Wallach Queens Memory Outreach Coordinator queensmemory.org Center for Teaching and Learning, Razran 316 Queens College Lori.Wallach(a)qc.cuny.edu (718) 990-8532

Maker workshops in Queens!
by Lori A Wallach 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

Hello all -- hope everyone is enjoying the summer! Starting in mid-September, Queens Memory will co-sponsor an innovative maker workshop, "Memories of Migration: Making a Talking Family Story Quilt." In this free six-session series, intergenerational pairs of participants will work together on activities including storytelling, simple electronics and textile art making. <http://queensmemory.org/events> During the first three sessions, pairs will be instructed on how to record their family stories and program them onto Arduino LilyPads -- electronic devices that will then be wired into the fabric they choose for their pieces of the quilt. Teaching artist Karen Fitzgerald will lead participants through the next three sessions of quilt-making. The results will be combined into an interactive story quilt that will be displayed in a public exhibit at the Fresh Meadows Community Library. Participants will take home their pieces of the quilt following the exhibition. The sessions will be held on six Saturday afternoons -- Sept. 16 and 23, and Oct. 7, 14, 21 and 28 -- from 2:30 to 4:30 pm at the Fresh Meadows Library. Registration is limited. To sign up or for more information, contact Lori Wallach at Lori.Wallach(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:Lori.Wallach@qc.cuny.edu> or (718) 990-8532. See flyer attached, and please feel free to pass on to any students or colleagues who may be interested. Hope to see some of you there!
