Thanks to...

I want to thank the academy, and my mother and father, and my wife and son, and these people, too:

• Susan Moore, Ramona Goth, and the rest of the English Department at Scottsdale Community College, for their consistent advice and support
• The Maricopa Center for Learning and Instruction, for making this contribution to the global OER movement possible
• Donna Gaudet at Scottsdale Community College, for her excellent discussion of OER
• Pat Lokey at Scottsdale Community College, for her help with copyright matters
• Lisa Young and Barbara Bentz at Scottsdale Community College, for great assistance and MOOC advice
• Stephanie Fuji at Scottsdale Community College, for her invaluable feedback
• Jeff Ortiz at Scottsdale Community College, for his paragraph scramble activity that was inspired by an activity devised by SCC's Jamie Moore
• Sophia Tan and Elizabeth Saliba at Phoenix College, for their informative copyright workshop
• Cable Green with Creative Commons, for his engaging talk on implementing OER for student success
• Scott Wheeler, for encouraging me to follow my folly and draw (even stick figures)
• and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., for inspiring me to pursue a life studying words (though I never got to meet him)

Again, if you have any questions, concerns, or outright admonitions to deliver, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I'm out.  As per the CC license here, use this material as you want, but be like, "Yo, this was from Matthew Bloom" (or other acceptable form of attribution).  Peace.
