Thank you for signing up for POSE – the Program for Open Scholarship and Educators. We are really excited to learn and explore open scholarship with you all in the next four months. In this message we will guide you through getting started in the course and share some key information with you. We have outlined 3 steps to get you going in POSE.

Please make sure that before we meet on January 13th you have familiarized yourself with the program structure and have started going through the Getting Started Unit. We have included more details below:

Step 1: Accessing the Course Spaces

We have set up this course using two platforms, WordPress to share content and some interactive activities and the Canvas learning management system for tracking your progress and for course discussions. You do not need to log into the WordPress site, it is completely open, however; you will need to self-enroll in the Canvas course.

Accessing the POSE WordPress Site
