Update on trying to get registered for OERu course on OER/Copyright

I re-registered for LiDA103# with my work email. Now contemplating deleting the profile using my other email account - or maybe I can just leave it and get busy learning some of the course content???? #LiDA103

New start for this blog

I signed up for Open Education, Copyright and Open Licensing in a Digital World LiDA 103 and one exercise is "start a blog." I'm not much of a blogger, but realized that "retired librarian" still exists, so I'm going to use it. P. S. No longer retired! I'm just finished up year three at a full-time, tenure-earning librarian position at Hillsborough Community College - Florida (Florida - where Gov. DeSantis just re-opened the beaches in Jacksonville - April 18, 2020 (See this article from the Tampa Bay Times to support local journalism.) and the hashtag #FloridaMoron was trending a while ago. So... I'm trying to get signed up for all the pieces of the course - and it hasn't gone smoothly. It's great to have the lived experience that the tools for online learning can be frustrating! Much sympathy for all the faculty and students who had to move to make the quick move to online learning in the last couple of weeks! Update: It's somewhat later the same evening - and I can't log in to parts of the course even though I see that I already accomplish one post at one of the course feed pages. NO idea what's up!
