ABSTRACT Effectively analyzing literature can be challenging for those unfamiliar with studies from rapidly evolving research fields. Previous studies have shown that incorporating primary literature promotes scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. We’ve used collaborative note-taking and annotation of peer-reviewed articles to increase student engagement with course content and primary literature. Participants annotate articles using the web-annotation tool Hypothes.is and have access to comments from their peers. Groups are then assigned to summarize the annotations and findings, posting a synthesis for the course’s Hypothes.is group. In parallel, students contribute to common notes. The instructor generates a weekly video discussing the student notes. The goal of these activities is to foster an environment of open annotation and co-creation of knowledge to aid in studying for deeper learning. Compiled notes can be used to create an open educational resource (OER). The OER provides an entry point for future students and the public. Based on the evaluation of annotations, notes, and assessments, we conclude that these activities encourage student engagement and achievement of learning outcomes while raising awareness of the importance of open and collaborative practices.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education}, author={Goller, C. and Vandegrift, M. and Cross, W. and Smyth, D.}, year={2021}, month={Jan} }

In this session we led a discussion about what supports instructors need to engage with open education and how we can make adoption and adaptation easy and inviting. We set the stage with an overview of findings from our IMLS‐ funded research (LG‐ 72‐ 17‐ 0051‐ 17) on the needs and practices of psychology instructors for adopting or creating open textbooks and OER. We then shared some lessons on what faculty say they need and where they feel we can do better, as well as offered some insights from our research on student needs and desires in learning resources. Next, we opened a conversation about how transferable these lessons are and the unique needs of other academic communities. This paper describes the project and documents our discussion about these issues.}, author={Waller, Mira and Cross, Will and Hayes, Erica}, year={2019}, month={Nov} }

This legislation, which curtails expression protected by the First Amendment, cannot rest on such stale standards. Additionally, this Note aims to suggest the importance of a serious and respectful application of First Amendment jurisprudence for video games. Although a recent phenomenon, video games comprise a medium that is increasingly popular and has already begun to demonstrate the ability for expression as sophisticated and powerful as any other speaker in the modern marketplace of ideas. Any legislation governing the medium should be grounded in fresh First Amendment analysis. But the legal percolation of the “Hot Coffee” controversy should also serve as a wake up call for the expressive possibilities of the medium as a whole.}, author={Cross, William}, year={2017}, month={Sep} }

Sections II and III describe the statutory copyright regime designed by Congress to facilitate the socially-valuable work done by libraries and the impact of the move from ownership to licensed content. Collecting multimedia materials has always presented special legal challenges for libraries, particularly as licensed content has replaced the traditional practice of purchasing and circulation based on the first sale doctrine. These issues have grown even more complex as streaming services like Netflix and Amazon and video game downloads through services like Steam have come to dominate the landscape. Section IV will describe the way that consumer-licensed materials, which not only remove the ownership that undergirds library practice, but also the ability to negotiate for library use, imperil the congressionally-designed balance. Section V will present a path forward for libraries to develop robust, cutting-edge collections that reflect a sophisticated understanding of the contractual and copyright issues at play.}, journal={Journal of Copyright in Education & Librarianship}, author={Cross, William}, year={2016}, month={Sep} }
