Mon Sep 3 08:50:56 UTC 2018

Just came across a valuable resource under construction on github, an open development MOOC on public engagement w/science. Wanted to share w/data journalists in case anyone here has time to contribute to this resource, or would like to bookmark it for future use. At present only a course outline and recommending readings folder is in place.
https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/Module-8-Public-Engagement-with-Science/tree/master/Reading%20Material_Public%20Engagement%20with%20Science

Copied from the contributors guidelines:
"These are the main contributing guidelines for the development of this MOOC, and apply to each module within. The development structure for this is based on a combination of two things:   
   - Invited experts as part of a core development team, led by one or two managers for each module.
   - Open participation, where anyone can contribute using the standard processes on GitHub.

"Feedback and contributions of any form are welcomed. ...
"At the present, development is in very early stages, as this is an entirely crowd-sourced and volunteer-led project. We are focusing inititally on Module 5 to run as a pilot for testing and receiving feedback. After this, the protocol and content will be revised, and then applied accordingly to the development of the remaining modules."Module 5 is here: https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/Module-5-Open-Research-Software-and-Open-Source/blob/master/content_development/MAIN.md#FAQ

"If you want to contribute, add yourself to the contributors list (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FEbnxBkmIQFDEViTgZDn0AJ0MSK6eDSBEgZuCkW_B5s/edit) ...
