You will review a {Course #} About This Book document in an early stage of development to ensure that the planned open textbook will be widely relevant in Oregon. Your assessment at this time is critical because the author team can make changes based on your feedback before too much work is invested in developing content. We will ask you whether the proposed textbook aligns with statewide curriculum maps and workforce standards and how well it addresses our four categories of quality: learner focus, representation of diverse voices, accessibility, and Oregon context.

Your review will be submitted via Google Form. Your responses will be anonymous to the author unless you choose to identify yourself. You can see an example of the questions that Peer Reviewers were asked about a past project by visiting Peer Review of Detailed Outline for Open Oregon Educational Resources [Google Form].

The Google Form is the primary feedback mode that will guide revision of the text. This is how we will confirm your review for payment. Once your form is submitted, you will receive a $50 gift card to compensate you for your time (unless we have made a different arrangement with you regarding compensation).

Optionally, you can also use the comments/suggestions in Google docs to leave additional feedback directly in the review copy of the {Course #} About This Book document. Your name will be connected with your comments in this document. Multiple reviewers, and the author team, will access this document, and we invite a conversation in this space.
