Happy New Year! January 7, 2010
Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms , trackbackPhew Christmas went by really quickly didn’t it? Anyway onwards and upwards into a caring and sharing New Year. I have spent most of this week getting to grips with outstanding actions from last year, which seems like ages ago. We have many challenges for the beginning part of this year, including deciding what metadata we would want to auto-populate, putting together a classification scheme, presenting the Creative Commons business case to the University, piloting the LOR coordinator role and developing relationships with other OER projects. On top of this we need to further develop our training and support in preparation for roll out in March. I have also decided to write a briefing paper which will provide an overview of the LOR, how to publish and quality assurance issues. This will be similar to the guidance that would go in a Uni QA handbook.
I have also just completed the audit of the Centre for Effective Learning in Science web site http://www.ntu.ac.uk/cels/. If you have not looked at it before this provides some excellent resources
The centre aims to create a more relevant, accessible and achievable image for science within both the Higher Education and school communities. Based on our excellent record in science teaching and nationally recognised widening participation activities, CELS is working with academic teams in the development and trialling of new approaches to teaching and presenting science to both communities. (web site)
Some of these resources would appropriately sit in two place in our LOR where staff could integrate them within their courses and also within the learning and teaching collection of our Institutional Repository. The audit can be found at http://wiki.ntushare.org/tiki-index.php?page=CELS+audit.
