Section 4: Project

Section 4 addresses the following general objective: Script an Open education project for your context and implement a part of it.

The aim is to develop a training sequence for a target audience on a topic of your choice. The training sequence should be designed using Open educational resources and practices and award badges for participants who complete the training successfully. In other words, you will capitalise on activities performed throughout the module to transfer it on a complete project of your choice.

The project represents one activity, assessed in a summative way.

Synchronous part

Monday 09.05.2022

  • 4-5pm: Introducing Section 4
  • 5-6pm: Conference on Open Education in emergencies

Thursday 12.05.2022

  • 4-6pm: Proactive regulation with regard to activities related to Section 4

Asynchronous part

Activity 7

Learning outcome:

  • Synthesise and capitalise on previous activities to design an Open Education project
  • Leverage resources to design a project with efficiency

Detailed description:

The project is composed of five steps:

  1. Define the project, i.e. describe the resources; set objectives; specify target audience; design learning activities; choose learning environment; specify assessment
  2. Find relevant OER for your project, i.e. either re-using those identified during Activity 3 or new ones
  3. Script activities with Open educational practices, specifying the roles of the different stakeholders, again, you may reuse what you have produced in Activity 4
  4. Reflect and design evaluation criteria to create an Open badge
  5. Publish and share your project on an Open platform

Detailed information will follow in due time.
