LEARN TOGETHER
• The number one goal of an FLC is to provide time and space for participant learning.
• Writing measurable outcomes and defining your participant learning goals is very important.
• Don’t get lost in the creation of artifacts…it’s a learning community, not a creating community.
10
CREATE DIGITAL
ARTIFACTS • Digital artifacts must connect to the FLC learning outcomes and will serve as resources to other educators.
• Some ideas:• Canvas, websites, or
audio/video/multimedia
• Project planning, policy, or partnership documents
• Insight papers
• Rubrics, student assessments, surveys, or data analysis
• online courses or programs
11
RELEASE OPENLY
• As of July 1, 2010, all work created by the FLCs falls under the SBCTC Open Licensing Policy and must carry a “Creative Commons CC BY” license.
• At least one FLC member should take the “How to Use Open Educational Resources” (OER) training.

SHARE FLC LEARNING
• How will your FLC disseminate its knowledge, expertise, and experience?
• Some ideas:• ATL Conference

• WA CUG Conference
• IGNIS Webinars
• Train-the-trainer Workshops

UNDERSTANDING THE
EVALUATION PROCESS

DRAFT YOUR OUTCOMES ACTIVITY • Write at least 2 outcomes for your
proposed FLC.

• If you finish early, begin discussing ways to assess your outcomes.
