K-12 educators using OER rarely have the chance to connect with others outside of their district to discuss OER. This session will explore an attempt to create regional communities of OER practitioners.
School districts across Washington state are beginning to use OER as part of their instructional material strategies. In order to help school districts address shared implementation considerations, the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is facilitating the development of OER User Groups focused on a particular open curriculum or content area.
User groups are a way for district curriculum, technology, and administration leaders across the state to convene both online and in person to address issues such as:
* maintaining fidelity of implementation with highly adaptable resources
* addressing equity of access with various OER distribution platforms
* understanding how OER fit into instructional materials approval and adoption pathways and how they encourage a paradigm shift from the traditional adoption cycle
* meeting professional development needs
* sharing teacher created materials to support implementation and understanding open licensing for those materials
* measuring the efficacy of an open curriculum and sharing those findings with other districts
OSPI, in partnership with Washington state educational service districts, assembled a statewide task force to create a vision and collaboratively design and develop the structure and management of the first OER User's Group, focused on the EngageNY mathematics instructional materials. Additional OER User Groups will address other content areas. These support systems will allow for rich cross-district discussion about the nuts and bolts of using OER as core instructional material in the classroom.
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.

Objective: To facilitate the integration, exchange and accessibility of data and information across GEF IW project sites to IW projects, their partners and stakeholders.
Project summary:
“Given that four research projects have been designed to respond to the Volta Basin Development Challenge (VBDC) of integrated management of rainwater and small reservoirs for multiple uses, the Coordination and Change Project V5, is formulated to orient, align and integrate the VBDC to contribute to poverty reduction and improved livelihood resilience in the Volta Basin. To do this, the project team will apply seven strategies: ensuring and coordinating quality research, fostering change through multi-stakeholder processes, communications, adaptive management, innovation research, gender mainstreaming and capacity development while working in collaboration with the other four projects (V1 – V4) to achieve the VBDC”
Presented by Chris Higgins at the Co-Design Workshop, Machynlleth, 16 October 2014. Half-way through a 4-year project to enable "citizen scientists" to use smartphones to upload crucial scientific data, this presentation shows the current state of progress on the COBWEB project.
Objective: Developing a comprehensive M&E system for IW projects that ensures an
integrated system for information gathering and assessment throughout the lifespan of a project.

University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
5. This project is dedicated to facilitating good
governance and more effective decision making in
international waters through the identification,
collection, adaptation and replication of beneficial
practices and lessons learned from international
experiences. The project facilitates dialogue
among individuals and organizations engaged in
governance within and between freshwater,
groundwater, marine international waters with
particular emphasis on “South-South” cooperation
and learning.
