Team Activity MEMO To: OER Planning Committee From: Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs Date: Mar 6, 2015 Subject: Adopting OER Plan As your Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs, I am tasking your team to develop an action list for OER adoption on our campus. Please take into considerations the current resources we have on our campus (support areas, faculty champions, divisions) and develop a list of three action items your team will recommend to me at our next meeting. Activity: You will be divided into teams of three. Each team member will select a role – timekeeper, recorder, and presenter/leader. Within your team, select one campus to focus this OER adoption plan on. Develop your Action List for OER adoption for your selected campus. You should have at least three action items on your list. (You have 10 minutes to brainstorm and prepare for your presentation.) Present your plan to the other teams. (Each team has 1-2 minutes to present their plan.)
