And now, the final assessment of my second course!  This assignment is stretching me out of my comfort zone by making me create a video.  Not that I haven’t created videos before to present materials, but just that it is one additional layer of complexity that is making me over think things and wonder if I can ever get this done.  But, here goes!

“In this final assignment, you will create a 10-minute recorded presentation that discusses any aspect of open science, open data, or open access.  You could choose to share your key learnings in the course, an open project you are aspiring to, challenges you are facing, your philosophies; or simply your thoughts on one of the many topics encountered throughout the course.  You could consider recording a video, a podcast, a screencast, an animation or a narrated PowerPoint, but your presentation should be provided in a recorded, digital format.”  Phew…that was a lot of work!  You can also access my slides if you like – everything is CC-BY licenced!
