What should we include in this guidebook?
As of February 2018, the potential sourcebook categories listed below are very general: they are excerpts from the UW-Madison Open Educational Resources Sourcebook, a non-discipline-specific series of materials intended to model some ways that instructors can use interactive textbook platforms in their work at UW-Madison. (Note that this OER Sourcebook is also in the early stages of crowdsourced composition.)

Future Questions For The Department
Everyone has a lot on their plate, and one objective of this resource is to reduce some of the barriers and burdens associated with creating a department resource. Sending out weekly or bi-monthly emails to the English department listserv may provide opportunities to crowd-source brief contributions without creating a focused pressure on individual contributors.
What kinds of questions would you like to ask of your colleagues?
What prompts will best help us to answer questions that current and future peers may have?
Note that the document below is a place to post questions, not (yet!) to answer them.
