• bridging classroom and experiential learning
• reuse of existing material, easier re-
purposing for new training audiences
• reduced time and effort for the creation of
localized and contextualized material
• potentially new business models for the
providers of the reference material
• use trusted content from world wide sources

An Ottawa-based startup called 3Dponics was established 1 year ago to develop the most efficient gardening system using 3D printing and hydroponics. Their goal is to make this system usable on Earth, Mars, and the ISS. They plan to launch a community website, develop an educational curriculum, and create collaboration software to customize 3Dponics parts without CAD experience. The original 3Dponics project is a basic vertical hydroponics system made from reusable items and 3D printed components that works.

El documento describe la importancia del trabajo colaborativo en la educación y las razones por las cuales no se promueve en muchas escuelas. Se llevó a cabo una investigación-acción en un colegio para comprender mejor este problema y proponer formas de integrar el trabajo colaborativo. Los resultados mostraron que tanto los docentes como la escuela en general no fomentaban esta estrategia, afectando el rendimiento y desarrollo de los estudiantes. La hipótesis es que creando una cultura de cooperación que involucre a toda la com

Savannah Brooks created a children's book about her friend Jessica's experience with leukemia as her senior project. She conducted research by interviewing Jessica, Jessica's mother, doctors, researchers, and charity representatives to understand Jessica's treatment process and the disease. Savannah took photos from Jessica's treatment, planned the story, and self-published the book through an online service. The completed book helps teach children about leukemia through Jessica's story.

The document discusses using MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and a flipped classroom model to promote interactive learning in agricultural education. It provides an overview of MOOCs and flipped classrooms. The inaugural pilot program launched the first MOOC for agricultural professionals in India in 2015, which over 900 people enrolled in. Feedback was positive, with 89 people receiving course completion certificates. Moving forward, MOOCs could help address issues like outdated curriculums and faculty shortages in agricultural education by providing flexible, online learning opportunities. They may also lead to changes in learning measurement and accreditation.

Open learning in higher education an institutional approach

Brian Murphy

The vaue of open learning can be a conflict within higher education instituions. This presentation is the result of an instituional review and research on the open education movement in higher education, given greater impetus by the advent of the MOOC. The journey of exploring MOOCs resulted, ironically, in an enhanced apreciation of OERs and revised strategic thinking of their impact for teaching and research, especially when viewed as a vehicle of co-creation between staff and students. Once value is attached, the principle becimes embedded and accepted rarher than an additional burden of academic endeavour; and the door is opened to the business case for systems, investment and development as well as academic development, support, reward and recognition.

MENON Network

The VISIR network believes that mainstreaming of ICT-enhanced and open education depends on grassroots adoption of innovative practices. VISIR developed recommendations through research on trends, workshops, and analysis of 120 micro-innovation practices. A recent workshop brought together innovators, experts, and decision makers to discuss barriers to scaling innovations, funding challenges, and engaging learners and communities. Key issues that emerged included the need for recognition of innovators, flexible funding and reporting for small projects, respecting failure as part of innovation, and ensuring innovations are communicated effectively.

This presentation discusses open educational resources (OER), which are teaching and learning materials that can be freely used and reused. It defines OER and provides examples of different types, including open courseware, reusable learning objects, and massive open online courses. The presentation also covers finding and accessing OER through repositories, creating OER, and implementing OER in teaching through staff development activities. It aims to raise awareness of OER and their benefits for expanding access to educational materials.

Grainne Conole

National Teaching Fellow 2012 Grainne Conole gave a webinar on open practices and their implications for education. She discussed the evolution of technologies for education like multimedia, the internet, learning objects, and learning management systems. She also summarized resources on open educational resources including repositories, evaluations, and case studies. Conole argued that while open practices and social media offer opportunities, the potential of these technologies and resources is not fully realized due to a lack of skills, time, and replication of poor pedagogy.

ENCORE+: Your Place in the Open Ecosystem

Robert Farrow

The objective of this workshop is to give the participants an opportunity to imagine and recreate their work and business as Open. The workshop is focused on Open Educational Resources (OER), and on its applicability and benefit to business, innovation and technology in lifelong learning. This workshop is designed to take the participants through a simulation experience, where each participant will imagine the business potential, innovation potential and technological changes available and possible for their work to be open (more open). The workshop is facilitated by the European Network for Catalysing Open Resources in Education (ENCORE+). ENCORE+ is a European Commission funded project, aimed at establishing a European OER Ecosystem, for both academia and business. The participants will be presented with research and findings from the project, directly linked to enabling their work to be open, profitable and innovative. Representatives from ENCORE+ business partners will showcase real-life examples of how OER is integral to their work and business as part of the introduction to the workshop. The workshop is suited to all participants who are interested in OER, regardless of knowledge and experience with OER. The workshop is interactive, with practical simulation tasks guided by ENCORE+ facilitators and ENCORE+ OER research.

The goal is to improve skills for implementing innovation platforms and agricultural innovation systems.

CINECA webinar slides: How to make training FAIR

CINECAProject

This document summarizes a webinar on applying FAIR principles to training materials. It discusses why training materials should be shared and made FAIR, including enabling reuse by other trainers. Ten simple rules for making training materials FAIR are presented, such as giving materials unique identifiers, describing them properly, and stating clear licensing. A case study of the EMBL-EBI training program is provided, which aims to share its materials widely and follow FAIR principles to maximize their findability, accessibility, and reuse. Challenges in applying FAIR to all training materials are noted. The webinar encourages applying metadata and structuring materials to open them up for broader use.

This document describes an open and scalable learning infrastructure for food safety capacity building called FSKN. FSKN aims to improve findability and discoverability of open educational resources related to food safety. It consists of several components: a food safety learning portal as the main interface, learning widgets/apps that can be embedded on other sites, and an educational offerings aggregator backend that ingests metadata from various sources. FSKN also includes a curriculum registry to align courses and allow browsing by learning outcomes. Usage scenarios show how FSKN could help a meat producer in Paraguay find information on food safety standards for cooked ham.

The document describes a pilot project called "OER growers" that aims to connect young agronomists and scientists with citizens interested in home gardening. Through the project, participants will conduct small-scale agricultural experiments using online tools and share their findings. Young professionals can gain ICT training and present their work, while citizens benefit from practical knowledge on growing vegetables, herbs, and fruit. The project will run seasonally, and participants will document their experiments online for others to learn from.
