July 2022 Monthly Faculty Meeting – DocsWP

Proposal: Merging Lesson Plans, Video Tutorials, and Slides
- Do we have a consensus on how to move forward with this?
- Explore how this relates to Rethinking Lesson Plan Creation Process – Let’s discuss both of these threads to come to a consensus on a way to move forward. Discussion Frame:
  - Existing Lesson Plan Goals (as Sarah sees them)
    - To make the process bite-sized so people can contribute what they can with the time that they have.
      - Are we succeeding in this endeavor? If so, why? If not, what could we change?
    - To entrench the process in instructional design best practices so that the quality is A++ from start to finish (with an eye on eventual certifications)
      - How can we make this process more accessible to lower the bar of entry for quality contributions?
    - To be able to track what people are doing so everything is public, we can market it, and we can celebrate!
- What’s working to make the bar entry lower in other places? What can we change
  - Online Workshops
  - Video Tutorials
  - Note Taking
  - Review Process
  - Faculty Program
- How can we make contribution easier for beginners, and make onboarding newcomers smoother?
Enabling and empowering new contributors to put on Online Workshops
