OERers…
Received a message from Paz Díez Arcón, researcher at Knowledge 4 All Foundation, about an
Encore+ Project
survey to gather examples of OER innovation and create case studies.
ENCORE+ OER Innovation (onlinesurveys.ac.uk)
Deadline: November 28.
Paz’s message:
Today, I'm writing to you about the ENCORE+ project, which started in 2020. You can check ENCORE+ at
https://encoreproject.eu/ - although the website is a little out of date as we are waiting for a new designer to be recruited so everything can be updated. The basic
proposition of the project is there, however.
The innovation work package, led by Rob Farrow (Open University), is running a survey and we hope you are able to help us out with it!
We are looking for examples of innovation with and through open educational resources (OER) for an open access collection of short case studies that would be showcased on an upcoming event. These would be fairly short - about a page per case.
We have a survey we're using to collect data:
https://openuniversity.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/encore-oer-innovation
Please could you share this survey with OER projects in your network and encourage them to complete it?
There are three goals we have in mind for this activity.
Firstly, the data we collect will help us build a world-leading collection of cases of OER implementation which we will share on an open licence for others to make use of and learn from. There really isn’t much research that has been done into the relationship
between OER and innovation. We hope to facilitate understanding of this.
Secondly, we want to amplify interesting and important work being done in the OER world. There are many important projects out there which few people have heard of. In addition to the published collection of cases based on this survey we will be showcasing
flagship examples through the ENCORE+ network.
Thirdly, the data we collect will be used to inform and structure our OER Innovation Evaluation Framework, a forthcoming publication which will help practitioners to understand the innovation vectors in their own work and facilitate reflection on practice (Look
out for this in 2023!).
I hope this is fairly self explanatory! As an Erasmus+ project we are especially keen to make sure we get examples from Europe. I thought you would have some great contacts to share the survey with: any OER implementation (or use of OER) counts. We also welcome
business examples (which are often harder to find).
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Survey is open until 28th November 2022.
Please feel free to share this message and invitation to complete the survey with other people/projects and distribution lists.
