Compose 3 questions about the text (unfamiliar words, confusing passages or ideas)
Write 2 predictions based on one of the resources (what will happen next)
Make one connection based on the resource (connect to something you know or have experienced
I have experienced support from the library at UMUC. While taking my BS courses we did not have a writing coach and I received assistance in the way of direction from the library via a link where I uploaded the paper. I was given direction on how to create an introduction, a thesis and a conclusion. I was also given a link that I have to this day on how to cite references.

- In Open educational resources and the higher education environment Quill West mentions “equity of access mission”. What is that exactly?
- Kristi Jensen states that OER’s have been around for a while why do you believe they haven’t been used more as they help reduce cost for the student and help the higher education institutes with retention?
- What are the pedagogical and reflective practices that will result from adopting OER’s?
Write 2 predictions based on one of the resources (what will happen next)
- I predict that the use of OER’s will grow more rapidly than in the past. As higher learning institutes grow and more information can be found regarding OER’s on the internet, students, instructors and administrators will take a more open attitude towards the positive use of OER’s.
- As E-learning grows we will see more flipped classrooms per O’connor students are “exposed to lectures videos on their own time and the class room is used for discussions”. This will give the students time to reflect on what they have viewed and discuss pertinent information in the discussion.
