 * Open Content How-To infosheet ([[Media:Open.content.howto-infosheet.pdf|PDF]], [[Media:Open.content.howto-infosheet.indd|INDD]])

2. Showcase your dScribe and Open.Michigan stickers with pride. Some ideas: laptop, travel mug, backpack, etc.

3. Confirm with Open.Michigan which course/resource you're dScribing

4. Ask your instructor to license the materials. It's best to do this in person. We do have an email template here to follow-up with the faculty: see Dscribe Letter Template - First steps with faculty. Some related resources:


 * Permission Form for U-M Faculty, Students and Staff ([[Media:U-M_Participants_OER_Permission-General.pdf|PDF]], online)
 * Faculty Specifications for dScribe participation ([[Media:Faculty_Specs_-_dScribe.doc|.doc]], online)

4. Gather your materials. Remember they must be in editable format (e.g. .doc, .ppt)

6. Start analyzing content, recommending actions, and editing materials. You can use the Google form I demoed at http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dENJM2wxVjBHM0lWWGUwdUdORjNmRnc6MA. For continuing dScribes, you can continue to use OERca (https://open.umich.edu/oerca) if you desire.

7. Email me with any questions. Let me know when you'd like me to review your work.

8. I'll be in touch about the February workshop - it will be more hands-on and we'll spend most of the time looking at your materials.

Do not hesitate to contact Kathleen or the other members of the Open.Michigan team w/ any questions.
