Onboarding and supporting new end users

We’ll discuss a range of approaches to welcoming, training, and supporting new authors, instructors, and creators on your Pressbooks instance. What to expect:

  • Welcome & introduction (10 min) – @Jenn_Martin and I will introduce this month’s topic and share some resources. Our honorary mascot (Dibu) will likely make his first appearance here :dog_face: .

  • Thematic discussion / showcase (10 min) – We’ve invited Seyed Abdollah Shahrokni (@shahrokni) from Texas A&M and Kirstine McDermid (@Kirstine_McDermid) from the University of Leeds provide some ideas and advice on the topic.

  • Open forum & peer exchange (25 min) – Attendees discuss the topic further: ask questions, share current practices, challenges, and ideas. We’ll keep notes in the running meeting agenda.

  • Wrap-up & next steps (5 min) – Jenn and I will summarize discussion and discuss possible topics for our June meeting.

We’re looking forward to seeing you then!
