Getting it out there [Oct. 24, 2012, 11:39 a.m.]


Reviewing your work

Before publishing the material, ask a more experienced dScribe to review your material and suggest any changes that might be made to assuage potential copyright, privacy, endorsement, or other formatting issues. Once addressed, the resource is then ready for publication!

- make sure things are consistent

- watch for things out of context (keep flow in mind)

- dot your i's

Publishing

With the edits and review complete, you can publish these resources anywhere you want: your personal website, a photo sharing site like Flickr, a document sharing site like SlideShare, or any number of other sharing communities like the ones you drew from to begin with. Check out the Open.Michigan share page to see different places where you can share your content.

By the way, here at the School of Open we have a group of enthusiastic group of people that can give you tips on where they have shared successfully. Got a question, add it to the discussion.

* Deep dive

Sharing well, includes promotion. This increases the chances that your stuff will be found and used. Promoting your work on twitter, identi.ca, facebook and within the platforms you've shared on is a way to let others know it exists. Otherwise how will your friends know about your great work... How will others know how that can use this work..
