The Lincs community has expanded my network of practicing professionals in the world of adult education. I have made use of links to resources. Most recently an information sheet on mosquitoes and diseases that they spread. I was able to make this available to staff and students at the facility at which I work. I follow many discussions. The technology facilitated by David Rosen gives me a view of what others are doing and what is available. I have put a link to the student learning portal on my website so students can easily access what is there. I am familiar with the teacher online training resources. I used them when they were available through the ellu website. I know these courses to be information rich. I have been asked to participate in a discussion of OERs, as a member of eslpro OER research group facilitated by AIR. One issue, and I did encounter this when I tried to post a comment, is the ease of navigating the LINCS site itself. It took much clicking to find an active login button. Some discussions I can easily add comments to and others not so much. The wealth and scope of relevant useful resources keeps me checking back in,
