Privacy Concerns

 * Possibly Major.
 * Many of the course material are real, identifiable people telling their stories.

Level of Editing Needed

 * Moderate
 * Privacy concerns will need to be actively addressed.
 * Some images will need to be replaced.
 * Inserting license/disclaimer page in the documents and checking the citation/reading list for valid URLs and/or URLs to infringing content, not much.

Level of Publishing Needed

 * Moderate
 * The Professors have a very sophisticated teaching method, containing a lot of media. They want to ensure that they produce a high quality material that will possess a good deal of educational credibility.
 * There is another year of class materials that will need to be prepared as well.

Next Steps / Notes

 * Bobby and Piet will meet and discuss a concrete slate of options to offer the professors.
 * Bobby will be in contact with Maria Bonn to gain information about the publishing possibilities.
 * An assistant on the program contacted Piet about getting video content onto U-M's YouTube channel. Piet contacted Brett Ashley and John Pariseau to figure out who is in charge of that channel now.
 * Long term issues regarding acceptance of open materials by tenure committees keep coming up.
