This document discusses the formation of a "Topic Working Group" to support innovation in research projects. Key points: 1) The group will take a hybrid approach between a Community of Practice and Learning Alliance to support projects and Basin Leaders. It will focus on harnessing research for development. 2) Benefits include supporting specific projects and building skills in research for development. The group will identify best practices and gaps. 3) Initial tasks include synthesizing lessons, identifying capacity needs, facilitating exchange visits, and publishing a position paper. A budget of $100k-$320k is proposed to fund activities like training, research, and skills development.

Open educational resources (OERs) provide several benefits such as allowing for continual evolution with new information, being environmentally friendly by reducing printing, and lowering costs for students. However, OERs also present some challenges like having limited initial resources, requiring time to develop quality materials, and needing widespread internet access and understanding of OERs.

Building stronger systems for sl os and program review

harrindl

This document discusses lessons learned from the BRIC Initiative about building stronger systems for student learning outcomes (SLOs) and program review. The BRIC Initiative provided on-campus support to help colleges improve internal practices like SLOs and program review by focusing on meaningful, sustainable, and consistent processes. Colleges wanted to reform these processes to make them simpler and more useful. The Initiative found that creating time and space for conversation allowed good ideas to be implemented. Improving SLOs and program review requires engaging a wide range of people in analyzing data and developing action plans, rather than creating additional processes.

Survival Guide to CGIAR Change Process

International Water Management Institute (IWMI)

Survival guides take experiences and share it with would-be travelers. The CGIAR System is embarking on a collective journey aboard 15 new vehicles called CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs). Prototype CRPs exist and have been working since 2004 in the shape of CGIAR Challenge Programs. Like CRPs, Challenge Programs were designed to explore new ways of linking research to development outcomes through work conducted across a range of partnerships. Boru Douthwaite, innovation and impact director for the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF), has been part of the CPWF journey since 2005. In this presentation he shares hard-won lessons that will help us all not merely survive aboard our CRPs, but make the trip thoroughly worthwhile.

4TH Grade Teacher Participation In Mathematics Content

Joshua Gorinson

This document summarizes key findings from the report "Measuring Innovation in Education 2019: What Has Changed in the Classroom?". It finds that while most countries report educational practices varying greatly, there is likely more innovation occurring than believed but still less than needed to address challenges. A positive trend is the growth of informal teacher professional development and international collaboration, though curriculum reforms have not always translated to classroom changes. Overall, more work is needed to develop systems' capacity to prepare students for the future and better target innovation policies.

Project development and planning

SM Lalon

This document provides guidance on planning community projects. It discusses the importance of integrating gender considerations and environmental impacts into all stages of project planning and implementation. The key stages of the project planning cycle are described as: 1) Collecting baseline data through a situational analysis and needs assessment; 2) Designing the project plan through goal-setting, feasibility analysis and activity planning; 3) Implementation, including monitoring; and 4) Evaluation. Effective planning relies on understanding the local community context through baseline data collection before identifying needs and designing project activities. Gender-sensitive and environmentally-sound approaches are emphasized.

Strategic Review of WIPO Re Search

Richard Mahoney

The report provides a strategic review of WIPO Re:Search, which was established in 2011 to facilitate partnerships between public and private institutions for research on neglected tropical diseases, malaria, and tuberculosis. The review is based on interviews and documentation review. It finds that WIPO Re:Search has been successful in demonstrating that intellectual property is not a barrier to research in these areas. It has also assembled a large technology database, fostered partnerships, and supported capacity building. However, it has seen less success in expanding company participation, catalyzing agreements with developing country institutions, attracting new donors, and demonstrating that partnerships lead to product development. The report provides recommendations in several areas, including emphasizing WIPO

This document provides guidance on planning projects, with a focus on the project planning cycle. It discusses the importance of integrating gender considerations, environmental impacts, and sustainability into project planning. The project planning cycle consists of five phases: 1) Collecting baseline data through a situational analysis and needs assessment; 2) Designing the project through developing goals, objectives and a feasibility study; 3) Implementation, including monitoring; 4) Evaluation. When collecting baseline data, it is important to understand the local context, problems, and available resources. A gender-sensitive needs assessment is also key. The design phase establishes goals, objectives and an action plan based on the baseline study. Implementation involves carrying out activities while monitoring progress.

Botswana is a South African country that gained independence in 1966 and has since transformed from a poor to middle-income country thanks to diamond mining. The Botswana College of Distance and Open Learning (BOCODOL) was established in 1998 and partnered with the Botswana Ministry of Education and Commonwealth of Learning to produce open educational resources to support secondary education. The project trained teachers in instructional design and using technologies like Moodle. Challenges included inadequate time and access to computers/internet for teachers, but providing laptops and mobile internet helped address these. Overall the project increased BOCODOL's capacity to develop OER and produced teaching resources that can benefit the education system.
