Editor's Notes
- #3 Accessible—cost, but also technical, language barriers Revisable—allowing revisions, but also open to changing your own mind, to listening to others and coming to a shared decision; inviting criticism that you actually reflect on and act on Collaborative comes from the previous ones—because it allows these things, projects or artifacts invite collaboration; Also collaboration on goals, learning outcomes, teaching and learning Shared—sharing with others, believing that if we shared more information and artifacts that this would provide significant benefits 5R’s
