Before we get started, I'd like to acknowledge that here in UBC, which is hosting this program that we're located on the traditional ancestral and unceded territories of the Musqueam people. I'd also like to acknowledge in the lower BC mainland, we're often on the unceded territories of the Squamish, Sleilatuth, and other Coast Salish people. Outside of this area, we may be on many different traditional lands of many different indigenous people, and if you haven't already explored it, the native-land.ca resource can help you discover on which indigenous lands you reside. And when I acknowledge being on the territory of the Musqueam people, it's rooted in the understanding that I, as a resident of Vancouver and a member of UBC, am privileged to be living and working on a territory that is not my own. Furthermore, as POSE is really focused on open scholarship, and as somebody who specifically works on the topic of open education, I'd like to acknowledge that much of open scholarship is grounded in Western notions of copyright law and ownership, and these notions can be in tension with indigenous and traditional ways of knowing. And we're not going to be exploring these tensions specifically today, but we will be touching upon it throughout the POSE program. If you'd like to explore it immediately, Kylo Larson, who's the Indigenous Services and Program Librarian for Waywell Library, hosted a session on this topic last year, and I'm just going to drop a brief link into the recording of her session. You'll also discover it in the open education module later this summer. Sorry, let me just pop it in. It's really fantastic recording, and I do really encourage you to check it out. And with that, I'm going to turn it briefly over to my colleague Steph. All right, hello everyone. Before we delve into the program in more detail and get to know each other a little bit, we wanted to extend a warm welcome to all POSE learners, both to those who are already a part of the UBC community, as well as to those who are joining us for the first time. I'm happy to introduce my colleague, Sheldon Armstrong, who's the Associate University Librarian of Collections at UBC Library and Vancouver campus, who's offered to give such a welcome. So Sheldon in his work is well positioned to see sort of the macro trends that are affecting library collection practices, and the impacts that a transition to open access is having on the scholarly publishing ecosystem. So thank you, Sheldon, for joining us, and I will pass it over to you. Thank you so much. And thank you everyone. I'm really happy to be here to help kick off this new POSE session. It's really great to see so many with an interest in open research, open access, open data, and of course open education. By completing this program, you know, you're going to gain the tools and strategies to become proficient in supporting and advocating for open practices. You know, this is a unique collaboration between the library, CTLT and the UBC Open Working Group, open scholarship, open education, open data, you know, open research, these are practices that really intersect and underpin knowledge creation and sharing. That concept of open really supports free access to research outputs, empowers communities and users through engagement, increase reproducibility, my humble opinion sparks innovation. You know, and breaking apart those barriers that have locked us up, you know, in locked up scholarship and educational resources. Open really transcends, brings us beyond those traditional practices, and really welcomes collaboration, participation, and dissemination of information. At UBC Library, we're really trying to specifically on the collection side of things, take our subscription costs that have traditionally paid for access to this type of material, and encourage through read and publish or transformational agreements to expand published content to become open and not behind paywalls. So we're at UBC Library, we're a strong advocate of open resources. We support users by helping identify open scholarship. And also by supporting people who are learning to create and share through open practices. And through supporting programs like Pose, we are hoping to create more advocates and allies, and to help us fulfill that mission. So, colleagues, you will meet through this program, very knowledgeable, extremely supportive guides and instructors so it is absolutely my privilege to say welcome to Pose, and I really hope you enjoy the experience. Thank you. Thanks Sheldon, I appreciate you welcoming everyone to pose. All right, so moving on now, this is just a sense of what we hope to accomplish in this session today. So we are going to start off with an overview of open scholarship. A colleague David Gartner is going to give that introduction. And then we're going to spend a little bit of time talking about each other, getting to know each other briefly. And then we will walk through sort of the nuts and bolts of the program will give a high level overview of each of the units in pose. And then hopefully we'll have some time to do a bit of breakout session, do a session to learn a bit about what we hope to get out of the program. And then finally we will have time for some sharing and question asking at the very end. So with that, as the agenda I'm going to pass it back to Will to introduce David. Awesome. So, so what is open scholarship and when we talk about open scholarship, what do we mean to briefly explore that topic works joined by Dr. David Gardner, who's one of the UBC's leaders and critical thinkers in open scholarship, and someone who personally has influenced a lot of my understanding of this area. David is an assistant professor in UBC's Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies. He's the president of the Indigenous Literary Studies Association and he's the co director of Cedar, a community centered new media and immersive storytelling lab. With that, David, I'm going to turn it over to you. I think you should be able to control the slides but let me know if you can. Thanks Will for that very generous introduction. It's great to see you and Stephanie and I you know I would return the favor by saying I have also learned so much about open from from the two of you and Aaron fields. And it's really part of what I love about being at UBC is that we have such a robust and passionate community that's engaged in these topics. I am on record saying that that open education and scholarship are directly connected to social justice and human rights. So when I when I say thank you for being here at pose, I mean that in a really serious way, because I think that the work that we're doing in open and that you'll be doing in this, this course has real effects and makes a really valuable contribution to our community. So thank you for taking the time to be here. So like Will said, my name is Dave Gartner. I'm an assistant professor in the Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies, where I research and teach digital new media, which is sort of how I started to get attached to open. And I also co direct the Cedar space which is a new media and digital storytelling space, where we are very much sort of thinking about how we can disrupt existing knowledge mobilization systems and how we can bring community voices into those conversations. I started to get involved in open education about six or seven years ago because mostly because it provided opportunities for my students to locate themselves in the tangled web of knowledge production that we all exist in and think about themselves as active producers of knowledge rather than passive consumers and folks like Will and Aaron Fields and Stephanie help me integrate assignments into my classroom and build events like honoring Indigenous writers, which we've used to amplify the voices of Indigenous authors through community based knowledge mobilization. So I'm going to kick things off today by giving a brief overview, drawing on some of the slides by my colleague Christina Hendricks. And my overarching message is that open is a vital step towards diversifying and democratizing knowledge mobilization. However, like any system, we need to approach it thoughtfully and critically or we can risk perpetuating many of the inequalities that already exist in our existing knowledge mobilization models. So when we think of open sort of broadly, there's sort of two concepts that come to mind. There is this notion of open as free, freely accessible. And then there's this open, this notion of open as accessible and viewable, like in a museum, but not touchable, not adaptable. And these are sort of broad concepts that I think a lot of people approach what we're doing here with. I want to complicate that a little bit today and I'm so glad that Will pointed to Kayla Larson's great talk, which I highly recommend because I think Kayla does a fantastic job of problematizing this even more. But beyond the sort of the more, there is a lot of energy around open and excitement about what open can do and rightfully so. But like I said, I think we also need to think of some of the other contexts and the historical context of what open means. And often open has been interpreted in colonial systems in ways that disenfranchise or dehumanize Indigenous folks. So when we are thinking about the commons or the common good, that often doesn't include Indigenous peoples. And here, for instance, I have an introduction to a collection of poetry that is taking Indigenous stories as an open source that can be drawn on and made legible by white authors. And then of course we have the museum systems as well, which have also taken often very important ceremonial artifacts from community and placed them in museums. So open, the main point that I want to sort of make here is that while we need to celebrate what open can do and be energized by it, we have to proceed critically and thoughtfully as we move as well. But there's lots of different ways we can think about open with that in mind. I already mentioned this idea of free of cost, particularly important one, if we're teachers, thinking about ways of bringing down costs for students when textbooks can cost up to $300. There's ways to think about it in terms of license. Does it necessarily have to be untouchable? Can we adapt it? Can it be revised? This folds into things like Creative Commons licenses or traditional knowledge licenses. There's different kinds of open formats that are connected to different software and different technical apparatuses. Then there's notions of open as making knowledge production more transparent. So making data sets publicly available, not just the research paper. And then there's thinking about open as a more inclusive system, so how we can bring in more voices and how we can hear from voices who may have been excluded from traditional knowledge mobilization systems. And then the one that I'm really invested in at the end here is the social element and how we can think about collaborative knowledge construction that involves community and brings folks in who might not see themselves as knowledge producers but have valuable voices and perspectives to add to the conversation. And this is a quote that is on the post website that I think gets at a lot of these ideas in some really productive ways. And again, why I am continually energized by open. So with roots in democracy, equality and social justice, all areas of open scholarship operate under the assumption that knowledge creation and dissemination should be understood as social practices. In this sense is Tom Woodward has stated open is a purposeful path towards connection and community, and the values of inclusion social impact and participation are integral to the practice of open. And this is the thing that I always try to circle back to when we're thinking about what open is, is that it is not simply a thing or a product, or even a way of thinking. It is a practice that brings us together and is in that way is constantly something that is unfolding and being critiqued. So that when we come together and when we bring more voices to this we make open better. And I think that that is a baked in principle of what we do. And foregrounding it the way that pose does is only going to make the system better and more viable to more folks. Also from the pose website, you'll see here some of the values of open scholarship. And I'm not going to go through them all. But I think understanding why you're here for open and what it means to you or what it means to the communities that you represent or serve is important. So thinking about what values you bring to your study of open scholarship or what values you think open scholarship should reflect is an important part of that practice. So coming back to the, the why of your research or your engagement here. And a lot of these still are connected to that that social element. And the one that isn't here that I want to just reflect on a little bit more sort of in keeping with the theme of my introduction here today is attending to the fraught histories of knowledge mobilization and thinking critically about who and what open serves. So to reiterate that point again that what we do here you should be excited about it you should be energized and you're going to learn so much about what open can do, and the ways that it really can be fundamental to changing and democratizing how it moves and the ways and people that it moves through. But in that excitement, coming back to thinking about the structures that it's contained within and the histories that it's built out of, and being just as willing to critique and to think thoughtfully about those systems in that practice because I honestly believe that this is a system that is open to critique that is made for those kind of critique and it only gets stronger when we have amazing folks like all of you here who are willing to do that work as part of the learning and development of what open is. This is all something that you're going to be engaging. I know it will be. I've seen some of what you have in store and some of the great folks like Kayla Larson, who you'll be engaging with. But I think bringing that excitement together with that willingness to think critically is really going to make the time you have with pose a great success. So it's been a pleasure to be here. Thank you so much. I hope you guys have a great time at the post program. Thank you, Will. Thank you so much. That was an amazing introduction. With that, I'm going to turn it over to my colleague who's going to walk us through introducing the cohort and getting us to talk a little bit to each other. Okay, so I'm just going to introduce our cohort. So the we have so the post program we have a partnership with CTLT library and also with again library and also with UPC library research commons and Center for Scholarly Communication. So this program is really collaborative with like different departments. And I also want to begin introducing by percentage test by alphabetical order. So I'll start with Craig. Good morning. Hi everyone. I'm Craig Thompson. I work on the learning analytics team in the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology at UBC Vancouver. In my work, I help students, staff instructors administrators answer questions about teaching and learning through the use of data and analytics. And in post in June, I will be co-facilitating the open research module along with Trish. How about Jens? Sure. I was just going to go ahead. So hi everyone. I'm Jens, Jens Benjamin. I am a educational consultant for design and facilitation. Also at the CTLT in UBC Vancouver. So in my work, I work a lot with faculty around faculty development, new faculty development, focusing on sort of transforming classrooms into more active learning spaces. And in the context of post, I will be co-facilitating the July section on open education with Will and Rie. Hi everyone. My name is Rie Nambat. I'm one of the facilitators for post. My role is educational resource developer open resource from Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology at UBC. At work, I provide support for open educational related technology, including UBC, we can repress. For post, I mainly work on developing the creative comments module and I'll be facilitating the open education module along with Will and Jens. Hi everyone. I am Stephanie Savage. So I'm a librarian at UBC Vancouver campus. My portfolio includes scholarly communication support along with copyright education and support. And I, along with my colleague Aaron Fields, who was unable to be here today, we developed most of the content in the open access unit and are going to be your primary facilitators for that unit as we proceed through the first month of post. I'm Trish Borosuza. I'm an evaluation research consultant with the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology also at the UBC Vancouver campus. In my work, I help faculty and staff who are looking at doing evaluation or research on a variety of teaching and learning projects. And along with my colleague Crank will be co-facilitating the open research session. And hi everybody. I introduced myself briefly earlier, but just to say that I work with faculty and students who want to use or create open educational resources in their teaching and learning or open pedagogies in their teaching and learning. I also work at sort of broader university initiatives around open education. I'm helping coordinate the UBC OER Fund, which helps provide funding for people who want to engage in open resources. So I'm really excited to be joined by all these fantastic colleagues. Okay, so we will begin with a front patlet map activity and I will post the link of the pilot in the Zoom chat right here. One moment. I just post the link to the chat. So in this patlet activity, post where you're currently located in the map. The location doesn't have to be super specific. It can be really broad like Vancouver BC or Calgary AB. I'll give two minutes. So please go ahead and post it on a pilot. And in order to add the location pilot, there's this purple plus sign located in the bottom right hand side of the screen. So that's where you'll be adding the location. No, I see people already posting on the map. Wow, it's going far everywhere. I think I will stop here, but it's really nice to see that there's a post party transform like everywhere around the world. So like there's a lot in like Canada, but also there's some participants from the United States and some from like Europe as well. So this is really exciting to see. But thank you so much for sharing in the patlet activity. So for the next session, we will do a bit of the poll. From the group to get a quick sense of where people are coming from. So I'm just going to start this poll here. So we'll be have two posts, so I'll post the one of them. I see the majority of participants posted the post. I'm just going to end the poll here and share the results. Okay, there's two more. Okay, I will end the poll right here and share the results. Okay, so I see that there's actually people in the diverse world to summon a lot of them from graduate students, which is great. We'd like to see a lot of participation from students as well. And there's also people coming from faculty, library and staff and also undergraduate students. Thank you so much for sharing in the poll. So we have actually another poll coming up. In one moment, I'm going to set the polls. So I have another poll to be launched. So what are the open scholarship are you most interested in? Okay, I'm going to stop the poll here and share the results. Yep. So I see like, I probably didn't have diverse interested interest so far, so like people are interested in open access, open research and open data, and quite a lot of people are also interested in the education. Thank you so much for sharing the poll. And I'm just going to move on to the next session, which is the introduction to the post unit. Fantastic.  POS is not set up as your traditional online course. We're using a blend of WordPress and UBC's learning management system. So the entire POS program and the content is all open to the public. And the exception to this will be completion quizzes and discussions in Canvas, which are private to POS participants. I'm just going to share my screen and do a little overview. Sorry, let me just get set up. Sorry. So this is the POS WordPress site, and this is the homepage. The homepage is sort of the general overview of the site. You can find lots of valuable information here. So if you scroll down, you can see the learning activities that are embedded throughout the program. You can see key dates and sessions for all the synchronous activities that are coming up. We do have this session and a wrap up session, but then every month we have both an open workshop and an open chat session that I'll talk about a little bit more in detail, two per month coming up. You can see all the dates there. And you can also see who we are and communication as well. The POS course is actually mostly contained on this WordPress site. So across the top is our navigation here. We can start with the Getting Started module, which is a module that kind of covers the flow of POS as well as that introduction to open scholarship. The three main modules for this course are open access, open research, and open education. We also have an activity bank, and the activity bank has activities that you'll complete as part of the POS modules. The concept behind the activity bank is to learn by doing, so we're asking to take on sort of practical challenges that sort of reinforce some of the ideas that are shared throughout the modules. You can sort of navigate through them depending on which module you're in. We have a resources page. This will be where our course, our synchronous recordings live, as well as any other information that's shared, and you can have access to previous iterations of this program as well. So we do allow the entire course to be downloaded as a XML file. So if you'd like to run POS at your own institution, we will have a updated 2023 file for download. You can take all this content and suck it into your own WordPress system or to another website or content management system. And then finally, we do have an updates tab. This updates where we'll put course announcements and you can click on that and see the announcements coming out to the course. And just to drill in a little bit to a module. So the main module is open access. Each module is composed of three units. So here are the three units for open access or publishing ecosystem authorites and pathways to open. You can navigate through the modules in a couple ways. So you can just do a sort of a linear navigation by clicking the buttons at the bottom. So this will take us, drop us into the public publishing ecosystem unit. We can go through the bottom and it will navigate you to the specific pages. Here you'll see you can also navigate on the sidebar. So if you're not able to make it through a whole unit at one time, you're more than welcome to just drop into whatever section that you want to drop into. Each of the sections are comprised of mostly text content, but also multimedia. You'll see videos. We have scenarios and reflection pieces. We also have dig deeper sections that will link out to appropriate articles and resources relating to the page or that unit that it's on. And please note that these dig deepers are optional. So as learners, you should feel comfortable following your interest and capacity. If you were to read all of the dig deepers, it can be quite a bit of reading, but please do dig in as you would like to. One other quick thing to note in the modules, you'll see, I'm just going to jump to another one, you'll see some of these self assessment tools. So this is H5P if you're familiar with open technology, which is an interactive tool meant to just test your knowledge. So you'll see a few of these quizzes and interactive pieces throughout the course. You can just click on it and submit it to see if you're able, if you're following what the units on and how you're keeping up. And again, we'll see scenarios and more dig deepers. At the end of each module, we do have a number of activities. So once you complete all three of the sort of content units at the end of the module, you have to do some activities. So the first is the open access activity bank. So each module will take you back to that activity bank and you're asked to do two of these activities. Basically, how to do them is you'll just click on the activity that might be of interest to yourself and follow the directions on the page. So for example, in this one, they're asking you to calculate the cost of all the references in something you've written or something maybe you've read recently. So if you didn't have access to University Library, how much would it cost to actually purchase each of these articles and then sharing the work in the comments? So the bank, most of the work will be shared through the comments. Let's go back. The next piece is each module will have a discussion. This discussion is one of the pieces that we're holding in Canvas. So we'll have a discussion prompt. You can then click on the button and this will drop you into the Canvas environment. If you have not registered for the Canvas shell, please do see the announcement. Welcome to pose and getting started. That has the link for you to be able to self-register into Canvas and you will be prompted to log in in this piece. The discussions have a prompt, an article to read, and then we hope to generate really interesting discussions based around the themes of the readings. Another piece activity that we're asking you to do is a shared reflection. So this idea here where the reflections are where we're thinking about how we can put the topics or themes in the unit into practice in our own work. So we'll ask you to go ahead and think about some of the stuff that's happened in the some of the themes or topics covered in the units and the modules, and then to go ahead and share your ideas. So we do have prompting ideas and then you'll basically use a tablet. You'll be asked to put your thoughts into that and this is a resource that can be shared. So the idea here is that we'll all be working together to think about ways we can implement, in this case, open access into our own practices. And what's really fantastic about these is the idea that we're coming from different universities or different institutions, different roles of those institutions, and it's sort of cross pollinate by being able to create a resource like this. Finally, we do have a open access unit completion and this is just for tracking purposes. This will help us issue certificates of completion at the end of the course. So it'll again drop you into the canvas shell when you go into this. It'll be basically a quiz format and it's just asking you to check off the activities that you've completed. So again, for each module, we ask you to go through the three units that pertain to that module and then complete two open access activity bank activities, do the shared reflection and then do the open discussion as well. Well, I am in Canvas you can go directly to the canvas shell if you if you wish. What you'll see in the canvas shell is pretty bare bones. So we do have a landing page, you'll see the announcements. So the same announcements that are posted on the WordPress site will be posted here in Canvas as well. If you haven't, if you're not a regular Canvas user, you can create your account to send you an email for announcements. So if you'd like to get announcements right into your email, you can definitely set that as one of your user settings within Canvas. You can also access directly into the discussions. We do have a couple of general discussions that don't relate to the units. So we have a general discussion. This is where you can introduce yourself, say hi, talk about anything related to the program, share ideas or thoughts. And then we do have a administrative section as well. This is for if you have questions about the course or having different issues. This is fantastic. Particularly if you're having like, I'm not able to access this or this link is broken. If you put it in the discussion, everybody can see that. So it's a good way to check on sort of a Rata or any issues that may be popping up in the course as well. And then going back, we do have each of the three module discussions here. The modules open at the first of every month. So open access discussions open right now. And again, as you work your way through the module, you'll be asked to complete that at the end of going through all of the units. Now I think we're going to, that's sort of a high level overview, but now we're going to go a little bit deeper into what each of the course modules will be covering. Let me just share my slides again. Sorry. So with that, I'll turn it over to Steph to talk about open access. Great. Thank you. Okay, so the first unit in pose is the open access unit. So at the highest level, this unit is meant to introduce participants to some of the broader ideas and complexities at work within open scholarship, along with the basic mechanics of how open access operates within the larger publishing ecosystem. So over the course of this unit, participants will have an opportunity to examine the current economics of publishing and the impact that the commercialization of publishing has had on academia libraries and systems of global research dissemination. You'll learn to better understand author rights and intellectual property, particularly in relation to publisher agreements and negotiations. And finally, the unit will provide an overview of the development of open access and the prevalent models of open access, including the challenges and opportunities that each affords. So here you can see the three modules that make up the open access unit, as well as the topics for each page within those modules. So I'm not going to go over the individual modules in too much detail as the content should speak for itself once you get into the unit. But I will briefly touch on the thinking behind the three modules that make up the unit. So when we were designing the content that would go into the open access unit, we wanted to strike a balance between providing practical information, sort of how to when it comes to open access, but also introducing participants to the challenges and complexities inherent in a deeper understanding of open access. So each module in the unit contains both this more practical knowledge, alongside some of this deeper engagement and critical engagement. So we'll already sort of touch on this, but I want to point it out again. So as you move through the content in the OA unit, you will notice that there are many opportunities to dig deeper into topics presented. Also on top of that too, I should note there are just lots of hyperlinks to things throughout the unit. So I think all the units imposed present these opportunities to dig deeper, but there may even be more opportunities in the open access unit. And that is because we really want to provide you not only content for use during the course, but to take away with you, right? This is going to be a resource that you can have in the future. So, you know, POST was only really conceived of as an introduction to open scholarship and not a comprehensive overview. So the dig deeper readings provide you with an opportunity to engage in the ideas being presented in a more meaningful way. None of this content is required reading. Anything even just off hand, I was reviewing the content. One of the documents I linked to is like 250 pages on its own, just one of them. So, you know, there's no expectation people will read everything. But especially if you're already familiar with the basics of some of this stuff, it might be worth taking the time to read some of the dig deeper content. Because it'll take you far beyond sort of the introduction and get into more of the nuances behind open access. So finally, I just want to spend a moment on what we were referring to as the big ideas presented in the unit. So these three big ideas are each taken from one of the three modules that make up the unit and represent the larger questions we hope to address throughout the content. So the big ideas are structured as open-ended questions and leave room for each of you to come to your own conclusions, which we encourage you to explore throughout your engagement with the module content, but also through the activities, discussions, reflections, etc. And I think with that, I will pass it on to my colleagues to talk about open research. Awesome. Thanks, Steph. So I'll be sharing the content of this unit and kind of a broad overview as it was put together by my colleague Greg and myself. The open research module has content on open workflows, open software and open data. So it focuses on these core areas, including touching on topics like transparency, reproducibility, open scholarship and open data. And the key questions that we try to help you think about and understand a little bit better are how can increasing transparency of research project processes such as workflow improve the process and help to advance knowledge? How can open collaboration, sorry, open collaborative methods increase the efficiency and broaden the individuals who are able to participate in the research? And what are the attributes of open data? So what makes something open and how do you go about making your data open? I'm just going to walk through each of the modules in a little bit more detail to give you a sense of what all of those terms that you might not be familiar with. So the first section focuses on open workflows and a workflow is basically the steps that you take to complete a task. So in the research process that begins with starting thinking about clear documentation. So for every decision that you make in your project or your research, you're thinking about, you know, what would it be like if someone else was trying to replicate this? What would it look like? What kind of information would need to be available for someone to reproduce this work? So with clear documentation, we mean things like best practices around file naming conventions, project metadata. So what exactly all of the elements of all your files are, things like including open file formats. And we try to explain what the benefits of an open workflow are. So even if you're not planning to make your entire project open, there are a lot of benefits to having your workflow open and using best practices in open workflows for your own benefit, not just thinking about how it can also be really beneficial for others. Next looking at open software. Open software, the module on open software talks about considerations and pitfalls when working with software and code. So open software can be a huge support in your work by making it more sustainable and removing sort of those black box aspects when there's propriety software being used. Also lowering the barriers to reuse and reproducibility. So if you're using a specific program such as Excel for organizing your data, but Excel falls under Microsoft license and someone that you're sharing that data with or trying to provide access. If you don't have access to Microsoft office and Excel, they wouldn't be able to use your data. So thinking about things like that, different types of software and the limitations that they have. It also covers core concepts around creating open code. So making your code meaningfully shareable and usable and how that helps to increase open scholarship across whatever discipline you're in. And then finally touching on open data. So data is a fundamental part of the research process, regardless of what discipline you're in. And so the goal of this section is to help you understand how to create, curate and preserve sustainable data outputs. Part of this process is making data open by making sure it's available and accessible, offering the ability to reuse and redistribute your work and allowing universal participation. So that means anyone is able to use and reuse that data. And with that, I will pass it over to talk about the final section open education. Okay, so open education will be the final module for this program. So we'll go over three areas, which is one is creative commons license. And second is open education resources and service open pedagogy. So we'll begin with like overview of like, what are open license and what is creative commons license. And then we will also go over on like what are considered as open education resources and what are not. And the third part where we go over on open pedagogy, which goes over on like what it means. When you ask students to post assignment, ask students to post their assignment on open online space and what the privacy and ethical consideration around it. I'm just going into specific overview. So I'm going to give the really brief overview for creative commons license here. So open education is often grounded in the application of creative commons license to teaching and learning materials. Creative commons license are open copyright license that gives permission for others to use the work under specific conditions. So we'll start off the module with in-depth exploration of creative commons license and how they relate to copyright. In this module, we will explain the difference between using a work under fair dealing rules and using one with a creative commons license. And we will give examples of what one can or cannot do with resources that have different creative commons license such as DC buy and see SA and me. And then we will point to ways to find CC license content of various types. And we will apply a CC license to the work and share that work in the format that is easily reusable by others. And I will pass it off to Jens for the next section. Alright, so then once we've explored what creative commons license are, we can start talking about that question of what makes educational resources open. And so in that second module, we'll re-jump into sort of the heart of OERs. And so OERs open educational resources, what they are, they're teaching and learning resources. And that may include anything related to teaching and learning. All courses, both materials, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, anything else, materials, techniques. And the important part here is that they are, as we've talked about before in this session, free of cost and access barriers. And then in line with the creative commons license, they're also legal permissions for open use. So you're legally allowed to use open educational resources. And so generally that permission is granted by the use of an open license. And so with that permission, depending on the license, you can freely use it and then you may be allowed to adapt or share the resource anytime and anywhere. And so for that unit, in that unit, the goals are for you to understand and learn some examples of why learners instruct with value and use open educational resources. And you'll have an opportunity to discuss strategies for adapting and contextualizing learning materials to identify and evaluate sources of open educational resources and to develop and share an open educational resource. All right. And so our final module of the post workshop then takes this idea a step further and we'll move on from sort of shifting the focus on what you teach with, which would be open educational resources into pedagogy and open pedagogy, which is the idea of how to teach. Right. And so in that case, we're applying the open philosophy to the process of teaching and learning. And so open pedagogy can really involve a blend of different strategies and technologies and network communities. And the goal here overarching goal is to empower students to have control and agency over their own learning. And so in that unit, then you will start learning about that. We'll learn how to incorporate principles of openness and learning participation into the processes of teaching and learning. And so within the topics or within the unit, some of the topics that you work with are different definitions of open pedagogy. You'll consider different pedagogical benefits and impacts to integrating those open approaches into your teaching and learning. There are some examples for you to explore how open assignments can transform learning with the goal that individual student work and have impact and value beyond supporting the learning of the individual students. So really what you do is you take that learning out of the classroom and you bring it out in the open to benefit and have impact on the broader community, for example. But with that also it's important to then consider rights and controls that students have over their own work. And also really think deeply about what we are asking students, faculty to do when we are asking them or encouraging to work out in the open. So with that we'll cap it off with a few best practices to consider when you get students to work out in the open. Alright, so that is the high level overview of our three months and our three units. So given that this course mostly takes place in a synchronous fashion, we do have several touch points, we have workshops, we have check-ins where you will meet each other. And we do go through this course as a learning cohort, so we encourage you to get to know each other. So what we'll do is we'll set up a little breakout room and the session is scheduled until 12.30 on Pacific Daylight Time. And we have about five minutes in a breakout room for you to get to know each other. So if you want to access a padlet that I will just set up a padlet for you to take some notes. You can access it through this link or through the QR code on the website. And so what you'll do, you'll be groups of four. And please introduce yourself and answer those two questions. One is what inspired you to participate in this program. The second question is what kinds of open scholarships and practices are you interested in? And so I encourage you to, within the breakout room, assign a scribe who can take notes. And I did notice that with the announcement of the breakout rooms, we have lost a few people, which is something that happens. So let me just recreate them so that we actually have full breakout rooms. Here we go. Yes, let me see. All right, so I'll be sending off into a breakout room for a five minute chat and then we'll get back. And then we have more time for you to ask questions, to ask related to the program, open in general, etc. So we'll see you all in five minutes, breakout rooms. I had it all preset. There were four per room. And then literally as I said, you will go into a breakout room. I saw a number swindling to three, two, like, oh, I need to recreate those breakout rooms now. Yeah, I feel like that's my cue to leave a session anytime they're like, let's talk to random colleagues. I'm like, no, thanks. Bye. Yeah, it happens. Yeah. I love it. I always think they're the best part of the session. I'm like finally get to talk about this stuff. I get to bounce some ideas. It depends on the session. I think if it like if it's with people I already know, and it's a chance to like actually be able to have a kind of like more intimate conversation about a topic that I feel comfortable. I feel like I don't I go to too many workshops where I'm like, I'm just learning about this topic for the first time. I don't have any thoughts about it at all. I'm like, I'm just here to gather information. I get overwhelmed. And yet I feel like what makes a successful face to face workshop is getting people to talk to each other. And it's so hard on the online space. Yeah, I think the dynamic is different. See, when I'm in a workshop where something new, I like the breakout rooms to just share my excitement about the stuff that I've just learned. We have different ranges of emotion. Yes. You're excited. I'm like panicking because I don't know anything about the topic. I know, which is interesting when which is something to consider into designing those sessions, right? Does it make sense to run a breakout room halfway through if you lose half of them and then they have questions and then we just might lose them in the program. On the other hand, how do we how do we allow those that enjoy those breakout room discussions to actually have that benefit? Yeah. And I think it's like in the online world is just there aren't many options for having not just talk at people. So I think it's like one of the only ways that really gives folks a chance to share excitement that they have or ideas and things like that. So that's a challenge. When I teach it when I teach a classroom, I sometimes allow my students to either work in a group or individually based on their personal preference in that day. But that only I mean, I guess that could work in Zoom. If you get people to self assign into a breakout room, that's kind of one is called quiet space cameras off and then small discussion spaces. I love that idea. Just some quiet time for those of us that are having an existential crisis as a result of this session. Do you need time to think quietly with your thoughts? I love it.  I might actually do that next time. I mean, for this case, it was to get to know people, but I did set it to five minutes so it'll close in like a few minutes. I don't know if you'll need to give people a bit more time. Usually five is short. I think five is probably okay for this sort of intro. And we had it for an hour and a half, right? Yeah, I think that's okay, though, if we go short. On a bit of a side note, there was an interesting update to some of the content that's in. So first of all, it's the it's the units and the units have modules, right? I thought it was modules and modules and units. No, I don't think so. I was like, I don't know what I'm saying. Did I just say module about the module? No idea. I double checked the pose at the site. Yeah, I think it's units and modules. Sorry. As you say that, and like after like when you started doing your section, I'm like, oh, I had that completely backwards. Just because I was like, I don't even know anymore. But anyways, one of my modules has a piece that has like some relevant updates. So I might, it's late. I might update the com the content and then make a notice or something or ask you to send it in the next update. Because I think it might be interesting to people in the program to hear about this latest. There was like a leak of a European government document about open access and like supporting. APC free open access. So it's sort of like, you know, all the buzz right now and it's relevant to some of the content we have on plan S and things. So. Absolutely. So we're planning to send another announcement around the 15th. I don't know if that's too late, but it would be great to put that in there. Okay. All right. That's the five minutes. Shall we close the rooms? Welcome back everyone to those of you that are here. We actually had a really interesting conversation while we were here about the loss of people to the breakout rooms. And our idea was to next time set a self assigned breakout room where people can go for just some quiet reflection. So we don't lose them towards the end because it can be stressful to be asked to talk to some people that you don't know. Yet we also hope that you had some good conversations with your peers. And we just want to give you an opportunity to share if you had heard any interesting goal or role and feel free to write it in the chat or speak up. And I do see some of you thought it was great. And right. That's that balancing act to allow those that really kind of get alive in those breakout rooms like myself, give them that opportunity and others that quiet space. So feel free to share some insight in the chat or just pipe up at arena. Hi, yes. In our group, we were situated across Canada. And so that was interesting. Particularly I'll speak for myself. I shared my interest in this area comes from in Ontario. We had the campus grant from the government of Ontario that provided us with quite a substantial amount of money that we as educators can apply for to develop various open educational resources. So in our school we developed a full health assessment textbook that we'll be using there's one and two of the undergraduate program in nursing. And so that that was great. And that sort of spearheaded a lot of other open educational resource simulation resources developments that we're doing in our school. So I'm really interested in learning more. I'm also part of an editorial team of a journal that is housed at TMU Toronto Metropolitan University. And it's an open access journal as well. So we publish open access free of charge. Currently we'll see how long we can sustain that but currently it's free of charge open access so again learning more about how I can translate the knowledge from this group to my editorial team to see how we can improve and continue to sustain that and provide that sharing of knowledge and such of it. Thank you. Thank you for that Katerina. I don't think you do have quite a bit of experience with open. It's always great to have a wide variety of people here to learn from one another and definitely bring your learning back to your home institutions. I also see in the in the chat that someone shared that they were considering an opportunity to use pose in the form of EDI initiatives. And a few people mentioned that the breakout rooms felt a little short, which they always do if the conversation is lively. Does anyone else think they want to share at this point? You noted the appreciation in the chat. Thank you Carol. And, and yes I just want to note there's a lot of great comments on the Padlet. Really, really like fantastic ideas of like how to do open ed as a TA to looking into sharing data from research on how to make that open like lots of lots of fantastic comments there as well. Thank you for mentioning that well. All right. So, I think we gave you all enough time to speak up or type anything in the chat so we'll pass the mic over back to Will who will guide us through some key dates logistic communication and into our final Q&A. Yeah, and I'm just going to share my screen again so just give me one sec. So I'm going back to the course here and I do just want to pull out the key dates section so you can see those in a few different areas but the one on the front page is a good one to pay attention to. So the modules each sorry or the units the open access unit the open research unit and the open education unit will open on the first of the month. And that's when the discussions and the activities, the content is there now but the actual idea as we move through this as a cohort will aim at the for that sort of shift from one module to another at the beginning of each month. So, open access today is the kickoff session the unit was released on May 1. And then for each month we're going to have what we're calling an open workshop, and a open a open workshop and a open chat. So the workshops are really focused on the practicalities of open scholarship and the open chats are really focused on presentations from practitioners who are working in that specific field so in May we have stuff. Savage from the, the facilitation team here as along with Aaron's field who will be talking about Creative Commons licenses but then the real sort of emerging area of copy left trolls and people who are using Creative Commons to sort of subvert the idea of open. Really fascinating topic. And then for the open chat we've invited one Pablo Alperin who's the associate professor in the SFU publishing program and he's also the associate director of research for the public knowledge project, which publishes a lot of the open journal systems or open monograph systems, and he'll be really talking about how open access publishing is already underway. And then each month have two announcements so we'll kick off a reminder at the beginning of the month of what sort of unit is opening what the key dates are in that open in terms of the synchronous sessions. And then we'll do catch up midway with another announcement, just circling back to what some of the activity that's been happening in the modules. Here we do ask that you register for each of the synchronous sessions and independently, we will be using the same zoom link so the zoom link you use today will be the same zoom link for all the pose sessions. Registering for that just helps us sort of plan for what size of the audience will be there as well as some logistics around it. So at the end of the pose we'll have another wrap up session on July 31. And then after that we're going to be going through an optional putting your sort of knowledge into practice and we're asking people to maybe take on a challenge after you've completed pose to think about okay, what's the next steps for you and we'll have more information about that as we get closer to July, but we'll be doing asking people who have taken on those challenges to come back and report how it's going. We'll have another session in later October to talk about how the putting your work into practices has gone. And these are the main the main dates. Please do add them to your calendars and do register for them. And with that, we're at the end of what we wanted to cover today but we did want to leave time for questions if people do have questions. So I'm going to go ahead and say please raise your hand or open it up to us but we really want to thank you for joining us what you know David kind of highlighted early in the session what's really nice about poses in a normal open access or open education workshop we don't have enough time to go deep into this so we have won. We have woven this idea of critique and taking a critical approach to open that you'll see reflected through all this as well and that's that's one of my favorite parts of this course.


Ooh, talk about a hot release date. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, this is my review for Civil War. This is written and directed by Alex Garland, director of other films like Annihilation and Ex Machina, as well as Writer for films like 28 Days Later in Sunshine. This is actually the most expensive movie that A24 has ever made, if I'm correct, it got up to about $100 million. And then of course, the subject material. Obviously with everything going on right now and all the tensions that's going on, everyone's going, is this a good movie to release right now? And I feel that it is because it can show what can happen. And but the thing that it also does, and that is what is being given from the perspective of the journalist in this film, is that war-torn areas look the same no matter what, whether it's in a first world or if it's in a third world. The idea of government and policy and human decency sort of falling apart in some places but still holding on in others was really cool to see in a terrifying aspect because the whole time the movie is trying to make you feel uncomfortable. At the same time though, for those of you who are wanting some sort of political leaning in this movie, there isn't one. The film is kind of showing that everyone can be good and be bad at the same time depending on whose view they are. But however, the president who's played by Ron Swanson, you kind of get this kind of sleazy vibe and as you learn more and more about his policies and his government reign, he kind of you him as like this pirate, this dictator who has taken over and in the country itself is either siding with him or it is coming together against him. It's not the idea of left or right fighting each other, it is the idea of a country coming together to take down a dictator sort of. The film of course is following along with the photojournalist team, one of them being played by Kristin Dunson, there's also this girl, this who's coming into this group. She has ambition, she has drive, she also has a film camera, which of course she does, she's the youngest one and of course she's using a film camera. She is basically who we are in this film. We are seeing these events for the first time, whereas Kirsten and her group have seen many a terrible thing, many a horrible thing. Now speaking of political leanings, there are some people who might be kind of coming at this going, hey, you know, obviously with how journalism has been acting the last few years, is it really worthy to trust them? And I can say, yes, I understand that. I went to school for journalism and as I was graduating, things started to change to be much more opinionated, which wasn't what journalism is, it is about documenting what is happening and showing it to other people and having them come up with their own opinions based on that information. And that is what the goal initially is of Kirsten's group.  That is unfortunately not stopped that from happening and we see this country kind of unfold into whether you are a person who's willing to help into one another or senselessly in violence and whether you are fighting for yourself, fighting for your country, fighting for your fellow people. And then down to brass tacks, this movie is a road trip because the whole point is that they're going to Washington DC. I liked a lot of the situations that they went through. There was one in particular that you've seen from the trailer with Jesse Plumbins, really, really good. But there are some other elements too that feel a little bit disjointed and that kind of comes from the music. The music choices in this movie are, they're weird. There's one that made me feel almost nauseous and it was just because of how loud it was. Maybe that was the point. I think that's what Garland's trying to do is he's trying to weave this uncomfortable story. With notes of familiarity, whether with the music he chooses, the images you see, the settings that you come across are the actions of other people. If there are some complaints, there's one part of the movie where someone is hurt and they kind of just don't do anything about it. Like, I understand that they probably would be limited in what they could do, but it's just a really weird scene. It feels like something's missing and that leads me into my biggest complaint about this movie is that I wanted more. I wanted more world building. I wanted more about what was going on and what had led to these moments. I wanted a little bit more backstory. I wanted a little bit definitely after the ending because the ending I feel a little bit mixed about. One part of me doesn't like it at all because there's some corny stuff that happens in it.  I get what you're trying to do. But on the other hand, I did like how it ended with the entire grandiose climax of it. For a film that was basing itself in this material, it does a really good job of well-representing it. And there might be some people out there going, oh, well, this is really overly glorifying what photojournalists do. They don't get into these sort of situations. I will point you towards Rostropo, which was a 2010 film about the war in Afghanistan where these two guys, Tim Henerington, Heatherington and Sebastian Younger, were in war-torn heavy activity, heavy bombardment areas of the entire war.   So these guys have balls. They have the gusto to go to these situations and cover them as they are. Like I said, I felt that that was warranted. I felt like they're daring to do these things and to cover these events was truthful. So in the end, my thoughts on Civil War, it's an uncomfortable movie for the good reason. There is no heavy-handed leaning towards it because the situation itself is grandiose as it is. For those of you who are wanting something like that, that's not what Alex Garland wanted to make. He didn't wanna make something filled with Fox News and CNN and whatnot. He just wanted to focus on regular people and people covering what's happening for those regular people in this conflict. In the end, I'm gonna give Civil War five out of seven. Like I said, I really liked the production value, where the story went. It was a little bit heavy-handed in some spots. There's also some disjointedness in it. And it feels like there definitely could have been more. And that's probably the biggest kind of regret for me is I wanted more from this movie. But I still liked it. Anyways, guys, that's all for me. What did you guys think about it? Let me know in the comments below. And otherwise, guys, I hope you enjoyed this review. If you did, leave a like and if you're just more subscribed. Until then, see you guys next time.


So guys I am back with another Diablo 4 video and today I'm going to show you a sneaky little method where if you're a solo player farming dungeons for XP this will save you a ton of time because it means guys you don't have to quit out to the main menu to reset said dungeon farm. It's unreal if you're a farmer like me you may as well take advantage of this. How's it going guys my name is DP, if you enjoyed the video leave a like, helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more be sure to subscribe. Okay so to initiate this process it was going to take you about five minutes but once you have done that first five minutes of initiating you never have to reset the game again until you basically well log off the game. Once you log off and log back in you'll have to do the process again but if you plan on sitting there for a couple hours farming dungeons over and over you may as well do this because like I said it saves you loading out and loading back in especially if you are a solo player. Okay so to do this guys you need to have a night message or doesn't matter what kind of night message you have you need to have any one of them you can craft these at the oculus in your local town if you want to craft a low level one it doesn't matter I'm just going to craft one of these just for the sake of crafting one there you go I've crafted one that's a low level one like I said it doesn't matter what what situation it is it can be a high level tier it can be a low level so you just want to go ahead and then use this so use this guys it brings up the dungeon on your map so I'm just going to mark that I'm just going to head over there that's quite a mission away from where I'm at so what I'm going to do is I cut the video and go to it and then I'll catch you back in a quick second. Okay guys so I'm at the dungeon what the heck happened then did you guys see that okay so I just want to give credit to nick2 for this actual this strat didn't know about it the video was sent to me in my discord but credit to nick2 for this amazing amazing strat for solo players his channel coming behind link down below he just posted amazing they have a lot of four videos okay so all you got to do guys is literally just do the first objective all you got to do is just do the first objective so here I've got to activate a gate controls that's it that's all you've got to do okay so we're just going to run through it what is going on in my game people check this what is this is like I know the servers are bad but Jesus am I going to be able to get through this it's a bit better now it's a bit better now okay so we're good we're good so what I'll do is I'll I'll skip this to until we get to the gates uh to save time but yeah like I said activate the schedule do the first objective that's all you need to do and we're run from there okay so there's one done and there we have two done so guys as you can see now I have uh almost completed the first step so I'm just going to go and open that gate as it requires me to do and from this moment guys this is where the goodness happens this is where that goodness starts so as you can see our flow goes down my next objective what the ejectus has changed which is what we're looking for we need that objective on screen to change now guys to simply leave the dungeon leave that dungeon just like so now from here you go ahead and you farm whatever dungeon you want to farm over and over but this is the trick so I'm just going to go to one of my favorite dungeons at the minute which we'll go to right now okay so I've come to one of my favorite dungeons in the game still the four second query right here guys simply enter it well you can go to any dungeon you want to doesn't matter whichever one you use to farm the xp to farm those the legend knows this will work with simple as that now all you do is you farm said dungeon which is what we will do here we'll farm this dungeon now the great thing about this is guys which will demonstrate to you as well once you farm said dungeon all you do is leave said dungeon you don't have to quit at the game anymore that initiation process of activating that schedule and doing the first objective to win that that dungeon that basically guys drops a bug in the game which means that dungeons will reset as soon as you leave and go back into them absolute madness I'm going to try and make this as quick as possible my build is still working progress it ain't as fast as what it it can be as we know I'm probably shouldn't reset but hey it's a mistake I gotta live with now you know I just wanted to sacrifice all my minions they would do my head indoor just use even you know what my golem even the best my golem's a bit weird there we go leveled up nice we'll take that oh people are in trouble now they are in trouble now I absolutely love this goodbye one more goodbye okay so the 16 enemies remaining so I gotta slay them too we'll find them we'll find them okay so I found a group hiding in a sneaky corner all got that damage resist done not anymore they haven't okay so that's one enemy and done okay so let's go back to that door now see this is the way I normally farm this forsaken I do the first two instances right now this next section will require me to rescue or release prisoners I don't I just run past all the prisoners don't release any of them leave them to suffer I actually want to pick up this loot can't can't waste money although I'll just run past them gold okay so we're just gonna do all this release or through the prisoners which is the objective here I don't get it twisted don't actually have to do objectives that's what I'm doing I ain't doing the objective here I'm just farming these enemies and then we're just gonna reset the dungeon but like I said I demonstrate it to you by just simply leaving the dungeon and coming back into it and you can do this over and over and over again until you actually log out of the game this will work if you plan on like I said if you plan on farming the dungeon for a few hours or planning on farming anything where there's an instance where you need to load out the game to load back in this will eliminate that process which will save you in the long run a ton of time and I mean an absolute ton of time so I actually can just do it from here let me just kill this one last group of adds it don't really matter boom bitches get out of here get out of here okay so that's the way to progress anyway okay so now pull up your map and go to leave dungeon or press open your d-pad and go to leave dungeon and you'll see guys as soon as we get outside of this dungeon door and come back in this dungeon will have reset there's some weird kind of thing happening with that nightmare schedule because I only did the first objective within it you see it's still active on my screen we go back in here guys it resets because it's normally like a a minute cooldown on dungeons unless you quit out to the main menu and come back in you have to wait a minute for the dungeon to reset at least a minute could be a minute and a half I'm not sure as you can see guys the dungeon has reset all these adds will be well we'll have respawned and there we have it that first group is bat guys second group is bat guys and again you can rinse and repeat this over and over and over guys run the dungeon complete the dungeon it doesn't matter all right well in fact I haven't actually completed I ain't defeated the boss see what happens that way but uh you know we'll quickly test that I've done just now I've cut the video we'll do the boss and see if it can still reset it we're just leaving the dungeon so catch you back in a quick second my beautiful people now nothing to quickly mention as well guys before we test this uh if you apply a potion for that extra xp as you probably know if you reset uh normal dungeons are normal way by quitting out to the main menu you actually lose the buff of that five percent extra xp doing this method guys will mean that that both stays on you don't lose that buff which is great it really is you ain't using the potion every time you do a dungeon which means it lasts way way longer and if you're efficient in your runs you can run dungeons in five to ten minutes so yeah good good stuff so back to the boss guys and see if this works if you destroy him too okay so I've just taken out the boss people in my local dungeon I love to farm so we're just going to see now if it does reset after you've completed the entire dungeon yes there's some some dungeons in this game which don't actually have uh bosses within them so either complete the dungeon via doing a boss or destroying all enemies at the end we'll see now if this works this method works in resetting the dungeon so yeah let's go and have a look people I'm pretty sure it will still be fine and it's basically saves a few loading instances yes it does it's reset the entire dungeon which is great double check make sure yes the adds are all back all back there we go so yes guys this new strat absolutely unbelievable when it comes to efficiency in farming dungeons solo again activate a nightmare schedule do the first objective win said uh dungeon it sends you to make sure the objective on your screen changes to that second objective whatever that may be within that dungeon then guys go ahead and farm said dungeon your favorite dungeon for that xp farm it all over and over and over this will reset obviously when you quit out to the main menu and come back in so if you do that if you get booted because of the servers can be a bit dodgy uh you will have to reset the process of activating another schedule and doing the first objective again but again this eliminates the process of having to quit to the main menu to reset any dungeon you are farming if you are a solo player this makes it basically as efficient as being in a co-op team which is amazing and if you plan on doing dungeons for quite a while throughout the day you may as well use this because hey it is a great great great great strat for an xp and there we have it guys guys if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps add to your like quite the same one and see more be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys i will see you on that next one

everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo the stock swish and I'm here reviewing the August tracking. If you had been in the live trading room during the month of August with me risking an advanced trader risk, which we're going to talk about a little bit here, approximately $1,500 a trade. You could have made 30,105. So I call the live trades in the room each morning. If you become a golden gap course student, you are eligible to sign up for the live trading room to get my calls each day where I call the entry, the stop, and the exit. So if you're interested in more information, you can email me at melissa at thestockswish.com or call me at 929-3200-GAAT. You can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Skype. So one of the biggest gaps for or biggest movers I should say for the month of August was Macy's. This was an earnings gap and it had a tremendous move. Stock closed the night before here, gap down in the earnings, fell high up here was over 39, low in the day was 34 something. It broke 35 I think. Just a huge move. $4 plus and for a stock at this price point that is just a tremendous move. And this is why you can make a lot of money trading gaps because they have big moves. They have big moves and just even in one solid debt. So I prefer to just focus on the morning period between 9.30 and 10 a.m. Eastern time, but sometimes you get moves like this like in Macy's where you can see that it closed near the low. You could have taken multiple trades in this during the day and you could have even held it all day in on that particular day. So going back to the beginning of the month. First of the month was cake. Nice one on the cake. 6870 trip was a good short. Most of these are short. So August 2nd, 2860, SYMC on the 3rd, 4th of the 9th was off DBX 1960. Again, that is a short. QQQs on the 13th, good profit there, 1,020 each day when you're looking to trade, you're looking to flip over your risk one. Some days it's a little bit less than one, a risk amount I'm talking about. Some days it's multiples of risk amounts. It depends how long you hold the trade and how big it moves. HD was a loser on the 14th and the QQQs was a winner. 15th was Macy's that was the nice one. 16th was two trades in the Walmart that required a retake.  AMAT two trades, one was a loser, one was a small winner. 20th was the QQQs and EL were losers. Spy was a winner. 21st was E-Trade Loser. HPE was a winner on the 21st. 22nd was two trades again, required a retake and target. One was a loser, one was a winner. LV was a nice one on the 23rd. 24th was GPS, really nice gap on that Friday. No trades in the 27th. Spy, two trades, one loser, one winner on the 28th. 29th, DKS was a loser and AEO was a winner and two days off at the end of the month. So profits, if you had taken an advanced risk and followed my calls in the live trading room, you could have made $30,105 in the month of August. And there was a few days off or with no trades. So it was a decent month. It was the end of earning season for the last quarter and the next quarter earnings season starts in September. So that's coming up here relatively soon. One thing I do tell people when they come, if they want to learn how to trade with me, if they want to take my class, trading is a skill. So I've been, I've been, gosh, 2008. Yeah, 10 years now. I started out in 2008 and trading is just, it's a skill. Learning how to read charts is a skill and it's a skill that you can acquire over time. The problem is that many people have been attempting to trade the market unsuccessfully for years, longer than I've been doing it and they're unsuccessful. Why? Because they focus on the wrong thing. So I focus on the right thing and what that is, is gaps. Now, not every gap is playable or predictable in the market, but the ones that I focus on are and I call them golden gaps. So each morning before I even do a single solitary thing, I rate the gap. It's called preparation. I don't go in willy-nilly to the market. This thing, that thing, whatever. If the market opens at 9.30, I am set and ready to go.  I know if it's a long or I know if it's a short. Okay. Preparation today leads to success tomorrow and also, I think it's very important for people to learn. So everyone that is in my live trading room has taken the golden gap course. That's a requirement to be in my live trading room. So you can focus on one strategy and one thing you get good. That's what I've done and that's one of the reasons why I'm successful. So my class is called the golden gap course. The class is, the next class is September 15th and 16th from nine to five eastern time. Class of the class is 54.99 US dollars. That's 5,499 dollars. The class is online. You can be anywhere in the world and take it. So you want to email me if you want to sign up ahead of time to secure your spot. I do a combo special that includes the trends class and the golden gap. The trends is in October, October 1st, 11 to 5. Combo for the class is 59.99. You can email me if you want to sign up and I'm telling you you can be successful in the market if you have a right focus and if you learn the skills. So I teach people those skills in my golden gap course. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. If you'd like to sign up for the September class, email me. You'll get in before earning season begins for the next quarter and I think it's going to be a strong close for 2018 for me and for the golden gap course students. Thanks everyone. Have a great day.


All right, so far we've been working with Q plane text edit and well, it's pretty plain We're gonna switch gears and we're gonna work with what's called the Q text edit class What's the fundamental difference here? Well Q text edit is a class that provides a widget that is used for both editing plane and Rich text. Whoa and rich text. What does that mean? That means we can do things like bold italic underline insert tables Actually custom widgets pictures, whatever we want Admittedly because this is a beginner's course We're gonna scratch the surface of what this thing can do, but we're gonna spend this entire section building a fully functional rich text editor All right first things first We have a very bare application. This is just a Q main window Already gone through and did the new next next next. There's absolutely nothing in this whatsoever. It's just very very basic This video is going to be all about setting up the user interface and to be a brutally honest You could probably fast forward or skip through most of this is it's just gonna be me wiring up the plumbing But if you want to watch feel free so first things first We need to go through and we need to add some images here So I'm gonna paste those and they're a lot of them. So this is what I mean by We're really just scratching the surface. We can do things like find replace font Justification bold italic underline you name it zoom in zoom out. It's pretty cool actually So let's go in here add new Next next and let's go prefix Slash files just gonna add all those images in there Give that a good build just in case Now I'm gonna say file And we're gonna go edit You know, so I switch gears usually I just start drilling down and I'm actually gonna slow it down just to smidge here So this is really what you'd call a standard editing format for menus We've got file edit view and you can see there's file edit They don't have a view here up in Qt creator But you can see how there's usually a specific order and that's you know really up to you on how you want to Do that, but it's It's a good standard that you should really adhere to All right, so we've got file edit view Texting about so let's hit here and go new And let's say exit Let's grab that separator move it up one And let's actually add another separator move that between the new and open And we can go ahead and we can flesh these out right now And there is a lot of stuff in here So I'm gonna actually filter on some of these if I can't find them just very very quickly I mean you can try scrolling down, but you'll just fly right over it just because there's so many icons and This would in case you're wondering would be helpful to actually branch these out to different folders based off what you're trying to do here Larger applications. That's actually what I do do Let's say save as Looks like those are in there and they're good to go. All right. Let's fill this one out. I'm gonna say copy cut paste find Place yeah, let's add a separator and let's say select all let's add these icons in here Skipped over one. Let's go to paste here in a second So we've got copy cut. There we go. Let's say find Looking for a place here. Ah, there it is Couldn't tell just by the icon. There's select all and Sure enough there. They are Let's go to view type zoom in Zoom out. So we got zoom in zoom out. Let's fill this one out. We're gonna say bold italic Underline we want to strike through want to be able to set the font color Let's add another separator here. Let's just call this font. So we got bold italic underline Strike through actually colors right there. So that menu is looking pretty good And then we're going to just say help hand about Looks pretty good Save and run and let's make sure everything looks the way we want it to as far as menus go looks pretty good And let's go ahead and add some toolbars in here. So we're going to add a toolbar Let's just move this bad boy up here. Make it a little easier on us. We're gonna say new Open save Save as let's go ahead and append a separator here say copy Cut paste and Then we're gonna actually just put in some basic Text manipulation here like bold italic underline etc. etc. So let's actually Just add another toolbar and you notice how on my system It just adds it right here and yours it may drop it down one, but it's actually right here And what we might have to do is actually scale this out a bit And then we're just gonna say bold oops italic Underline Strike through I'm gonna add a separator. So we want to add the color in here Let's append another separator. I'll say font save and let's move this down And we want the text edit instead of the plain text edits Let's drag the text edit in here and let's flip into our code. We need to build this. That's the problem build And we got a successful build so we're going to Set central widget And there's our text edit Save and run and let's see what this looks like Looks pretty good now one special note if you stuck around and watch this whole thing you see these little arrows This is what happens when you scale it too small and it just continues the toolbar Bring that back on the screen here You can also grab these toolbars and move and dock them if it's not convenient That's why you'd split it out into multiple toolbars. So you could say hey I Want to do a file toolbar and then format toolbar, and you know, maybe I just want the format toolbar down at the bottom Anyway, you want to set it up. I hope you enjoyed this video It's part of a larger project out of you to me called acute widgets for beginners with C++ This is a large course with 73 lectures and 17 hours of video footage This course covers everything from what is a widget all the way down to complete example applications Using the skills you've learned in this course Sorry, there's no QML in this course. This is strictly cute widgets I will make a QML course later on but this just focus on widgets from a beginner's perspective Even those as a beginner's course, you do need to have some fundamental information available You need to know C++ and the cute core Libs I do have some courses available out on you to me cute core beginners intermediate advance It's not necessary. You take these courses, but it is highly recommended and as always I'm available out on the void realms Facebook group along with 3,000 other programmers. See you there


What's up everybody, Jason here for JaspysCaseBrakes.com. Happy new release day guys. This time, 2022 Bowman Chrome Baseball HGA Choice release today on this Friday. Now this is a 12 box case break, pre-continues number one, and again, still Bowman Chrome, still got some autos, but all you're getting is autos. Just three autographs per box, no base cards or numbered cards, just straight up three autos per box. So this is kind of just skipping all that pack ripping, pack stacking, and just going one pack, three autos. I wish they kind of made Bowman Baseball this way. And like Top's Chrome, that would be actually pretty cool. Maybe they will eventually, but I know they did this a few years back with HGA Choice and a really good idea. Alright, so should have 12 boxes there, empty box. I think they still come in those little slider boxes, so we'll be collecting a lot of those. But, let's see how this goes guys. So actually what I'm probably going to do is kind of just stack these up, and then we'll just rip them one by one. I think it'll be a little bit more faster this way. I'm doing it myself, Mike Tower. Anybody go black Friday shopping actually? Like still physically at a store mall? Or did everybody just lay in bed today and just do it on the comforts of their phone? I feel like my sister, she's been working in retail pretty much her whole life. She was saying that this year a lot of retail stores were anticipating a much better Black Friday. My sister is a manager of a Athleta. I bought something for Black Friday, something typical, TV. My bedroom TV that I've had for a couple years is just kind of slow now, so an excuse to just buy a new one. Does grocery stores have Black Friday deals too? Like they're like the onions on sale? A store like that, kind of like Atari or Walmart where they sell more than just groceries. But what about like that's what I'm thinking. I wonder like if grocery stores that are just straight up groceries, do they have any Black Friday deals? You'd have to think so, right? All right, here we go back. So we'll do one box at a time like normal, but I just wanted to rip them all. And we'll see what kind of stuff we had here, guys. Good luck. All right, first one is a Jason Shurio. All right, so Cleveland on the board and Cleveland. Sorry, I don't even think I showed you guys the list. So if you have a character sign, that means you got that from a team around on the rest, bought those straight up. There's everybody there. We have a CJ Rodriguez for the Oakland A's and then Victor Labrada. I know, right? That's what I'm saying.  I don't know. It's just a thought. I actually want to see if like video games this weekend are on sale. I figure they are, right? I just recently got a PlayStation 5 finally, so I can get some discount on some games. Definitely want to purchase that. All right, first one here in the second box is the Lonnie Castillo. Little color match there for the Tampa Bay Rays. Timothy with that one. We have Michael Garcia. That is very true. Yeah, especially day after. And wow, look at that. Jackson Shurio to 50. That is a gold shimmer and that is 38 of 50. Who has the Milwaukee Braves or Braves? Sorry, Milwaukee Braves. Milwaukee Brewers, I meant to say. Sorry. Matthew Strope. There you go. That is a very, very nice one right there. He's one of the top prospects due to still just 18 years old out of Venezuela. Rated as number 30 prospect in his international signing class by MLB.com. But a lot of upside with this kid. There you go. Very, very nice. Aren't you keeping this box? That's what I'm using it for. I get my Hamak Costco mic. I like to tell you the Hamak Costco is just very good for the price. Our next one is a Danny D. Andrade to 150 blue for the Minnesota Twins. This is a great color box. Blue Braxton Full Ford. A little ray wave to 150. That's for the Rockies and Shawn Matic.  This year's Bowman Chrome has not that many pitchers, which is great. I feel like a lot of people hate the pitchers, but that's a nice gold right there. Okay, okay, okay. So almost halfway through the first one. First half, I should say. So far, some pretty big bangers. Refracted there for the Red Sox, Rafaela, Aaron Miller. We have a Michael Hernandez. Orioles, that is David. And Mason Outer. TB. That's going to Timothy. Jackson Merrill, which of course is a nice one as well. That's the 499 Bares. Just as Keijon says go Padres. There we go. We have Junior Perez, Ace Fred. And then for the Yankees, that is Benjamin Cowles. All right, last box here. And then we have the second half of the case. So it looks like all in all, it might take me about 20 minutes tops to do this break. I'm at the 10 minute mark and we're about halfway there. So, wow. Christian Vaquero to 150. Wow. His HGA choice is so much more loaded. Man, barely got like one of these guys in a case of hobby. For the national, that's going to EA. Good Lord. Juan Guerrero. Or did I just pick a very good case? Either one. Colorado Rockies, that's going to Sean Maddock. And then we got a Esteven Machado. All right, let's go to the second half of the case. First of Ian Lewis, green for the Marlins, going to Kyle. We have Willie Vasquez for TV. And I uncovered it already, but we've got a green atomic of Mike Calgarcia tonight and now for Kansas City. Sean Maddock with that one. Goat collectibles. It's just, it's still a 12 box case break for number 10. It's just that those teams didn't sell straight up. So, we put all those teams together and basically divided it by X amount, whatever teams are remaining. So, that break is a 14 spot break. So, we're charging 109. We're giving you $50 a spot, but it's a 12 box case. It's just, those are the leftover teams that nobody bought. So, you would get that team in a 12 box case. And it looks like Nick also put up another team random for four and five.  All right, we got Louise Jill or Gil Yankees, that's going to Matt Smith. So, it seems like some boxes have a ton of color and some boxes will have all base, full Ford, but all in all, in the whole case, it seems like it's been pretty solid so far. TV, a Stanley, Castillo. All right, four more to go. All right, we have Edison Paulino for Boston. Aaron Miller with that one. We have a Tanner McDougal. That's for the White Sox going to Eric Leo and Antonio Pinero from Milwaukee. Matthew S with that one. All right, Speckle of Mason for TB to 2.99. Speckles always look really nice. Andy Thomas for the Mariners. Mariners just trapped Cromwell and a Ian Lewis for the Marlins. Got two more to go guys, two more boxes to go. So, we got some green coming up and we got Christian Franklin to 99, Green Atomic. We have a Braxton full Ford for the Colorado Rockies, Sean Maddock to 4.99 and Ricardo Cabrera. Reds going to Matthew Linder. All right guys, last box here folks, good luck. Purple. Gavin Stone for the Dodgers. Dodgers that's going to Mark. We have for the Red Sox. Make Leveny. It's Aaron Miller. And last one here, Karar, Gonzalez. Kansas City, Sean Maddock. All right guys, and just like that, there you go. That was pick your team number one. So, quick little recap, a lot of heat early on. But all in all, still some nice stuff. So, quick little recap there. Boom. All right, Green Atomic there. Paulino Refractor. Where's Lucia, Ian Lewis. Big hit right there for the Nationals. Got ghetto to 150, blue. Jackson Murrow was a really nice one as well. And then full Ford, Andrade, and then I bought a little Jackson to 50 shimmer gold, which is a big one. We got Jason. They're not related, are they? Wait, actually, are they related? Oh, wow. Yes, they are related. So, there you go. His older brother Jackson. So, this guy is actually from born in 2005. How is that happening, man? 2005? Good Lord.  So, this guy just turned 18. This guy's still 17 years old. Good Lord. There you go. I think those are the two biggest ones there, man. So, I appreciate it, folks. That was number one. Number two, coming up next.
