Derek Mueller advocates for a methodology to visualize and understand disciplinarity through what he calls network sense. Mueller’s methodology combines distant reading with thin description in a way that allows academics to avoid the obsessive depth of thick description. Distant reading and thin description complement networks of association in a way that affords inquiry and discovery for newcomers and seasoned scholars alike. Using word clouds, citation frequency graphs, and maps of scholarly activity as visual models, he presents ways we can visualize the field of rhetoric and composition/writing studies and its so-called turns, or widespread attention events, such as the global turn, visual turn, multimodal turn, and so on. This book is published by the WAC Clearinghouse/Colorado State University Open Press #writing book series and co-presented by the Digital Publishing Institute at WVU Libraries.

Student Success and First Year Experience are learning community courses at UTA that teach new students academic success skills to aid their transition to college. The goal of the courses is to help students identify their individual needs, determine what resources are appropriate, recognize the faculty role in their development, and formulate a plan for an actively engaged and enriched experience from campus to career. The courses will be taught by Peer Academic Leaders (PALs) and faculty, staff and/or graduate students to provide guidance, raise awareness and understanding of students' majors and help support collaborative and co-curricular opportunities available within the School/College. This open educational resource is the required textbook for both courses.

Long Description:
The OER Adoption Journey is an OER designed to be used as part of a support system for OER adoption in a learning space/course. It is a model of what integration of multiple OER can look like within learning materials. We created The OER Adoption Journey to support faculty, librarians, and instructional designers working through OER adoption. We invite readers to use the book as is, in support of their OER adoption journey and/or OER adoption initiatives. We invite readers to break our content into modules and sub-modules for your own LMS to support OER adoption on your campus. Then build upon it to meet the needs of your own faculty as they embark on their own OER adoption journey. Modules/chapters within this book are designed for both new and seasoned OER adopters. Use parts as appropriate, revisit parts as appropriate to suit your learning and adopting needs.

The content of this OER was originally designed as a course in a learning management system (LMS) to support a group of Millersville University faculty who were adopting OER for the first time. The OER Adoption Journey goes beyond finding and selecting OER course materials. It contains reflection questions to assist the adopter in thinking through integrating OER into their course in a way that is learner centered.
