Planning for Dissemination Continues May 14, 2010
Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms , trackbackThe project’s thoughts and activities this week have been directed towards two dissemination events, out national conference and JISC’s Joint Innovation Forum 2010.
With respect to the national conference we have created a conference plan and a draft programme.The working title for the conference which may become the actual title is ”Transitions in Academic Practice: Supporting a Culture of Educational Resource Sharing”. The themes for the conference that are currently in development will relate to the implementation of educational/learning resource repositories, discoverability of educational resources and building and sustaining online communities of practice in relation to learning repositories. We hope to be inviting paper submissions in June and the conference takes place in March 2010. Full details will soon be available via this web site…so watch this space.
Regarding JIF2010, we are looking at repurposing some of our existing training and support material as well as using this as an opportunity to enhance these. For example, we have already produced a couple of posters for other events which we think will be useful for this event and we also have some video footage. However, we want to continue to develop case studies of individuals publishing to our learning repository. Not only do we want written case studies it would be nice to have some talking heads as well. I have been looking at Opal’s case studies which are available via Cloudworks we have a case study template but Opal’s case studies have also helped me think about additional information that we might require. Regarding talking heads I have noticed thatOlnet have started to develop these but I particularly liked the talking heads presented by Siyavula Project at OER10 as they brought the presentation to life. So I can see project members developing their multimedia creation skills over the next couple of months.
