The listserv is administered by CCCOER staff and is moderated to ensure that the focus remains on open education. Current moderator: Una Daly, Director of CCCOER. Guidelines for posting include:

• Posts to the list should fall within one or more of the three categories:
  • To share ideas, resources and best practices related to OER,
  • As a place to share events and professional development opportunities for OER adoption at community colleges,
  • And as a source for updates about policy, research, projects and other news from the OER movement.
• Cross-posting is discouraged. If you wish to share a post from another listserv, please forward it and add a note explaining the relevance to this list.
• When starting a new post, choose a clear and concise subject line that describes the topic.
• When replying to posts, please only respond to the group if the response is relevant to the group. Otherwise, respond to the sender.
• Generally speaking, posts should deal with one topic at a time.
• If you are seeking some sort of general information, such as how to discuss OER issues with a bookstore manager, volunteer to gather all the responses, recommend that others contact you directly, and then summarize the responses for the list. This will help keep list traffic more manageable.
• Include an email signature with your institutional/organizational affiliation so that others know who you are (especially for new posters).

Posts that do not meet the guidelines may be returned to the sender for corrections at the moderators’ discretion.
