(link broken, but the Winter 2012 Introduction to Openness in Education is here )

Guilds
Please self-organize into groups by joining one of the Guilds below. To join a Guild, list your name under the Guild name and list your Character Class next to your name.

There can be as many or as few Guilds as you prefer - please add more Guilds if you feel the need, and don't feel bad about leaving any of the guilds below empty. The most important things to consider when joining a Guild are (1) each Guild needs at least one member of each character class, and (2) during Quests 5 and 6 you will need to collaborate closely with other members of your Guild.

Optionally, you may also want to choose a different name for your Guild (Guild # is pretty boring), create a group blog for your Guild that aggregates group members relevant posts, choose a Guild mascot, etc. Have as much fun with your Guild as you like.

New Quests!
Put your proposed new Quests below! Please remember to frame the quests appropriately using the goals and language (see http://www.odu.edu/educ/roverbau/Bloom/blooms_taxonomy.htm for helpful hints). Please include the Level with your Quest description.

Artisans Quests
Level 3: Lorem ipsum...

Bard Quests
Quest #1--a rough draft of the history of open education; something that would be used to introduce the idea to a group of college faculty not aware of the idea.

Quest #2--a more refined draft of the history of open education; something that would be used to introduce the idea to a group of college faculty not aware of the idea.

Quest #3--a "finalized" version of the history of open education; something that would be used to introduce the idea to a group of college faculty not aware of the idea, including sources.

Guild Quest
Quest 2-4: Do a feasibility analysis of the course "US History II" as illustrated by the Utah State standards (at http://www.uen.org/core/core.do?courseNum=6250).

Each member of the guild takes 1-2 standards and looks for open resources to teach that standard.

Merchant Quests
Level 4: Lorem ipsum...

Rogue Quests
(Based on Artisan Quests)

Quest 1
Employ espionage and reconnaissance as you review the following OER project sites. Evaluate the reuse/remix potential of the media, looking at openness of structure, openness of code, security, source availability, semantics, license compatibility, etc. Review a sufficient sample of courses per site to gain accurate insight into their habits and routines. Write a substantive blog post that puts forth strategic directions for the re-release and reuse of the sites' media with special attention to unlocking those OER that may be imprisoned by CMS or final format software. (List of 7 OER projects)
