Subject: KPU's inaugural Open Education Research Institute (May 14, 2020)
On May 14, 2020, KPU will host its inaugural Open Education Research Institute, a one-day
training and networking opportunity for scholars across BC post-secondary institutions who
wish to develop or enhance their open education research skills.
The Open Education Research Institute (OERI) is an opportunity for new and emerging
researchers interested in open educational practices to deepen their knowledge and sharpen
their skill set while connecting with other researchers and joining a Provincial
mentorship network. The one-day institute will begin with an overview of existing research
on open educational practices, including a special focus on research conducted in or by
researchers in British Columbia. Participants will learn about different theoretical and
methodological frameworks for research in open education and receive guidance on practical
issues such as preparing applications for ethical review of their research projects and
publishing their work in open access journals or repositories. Participants will work in
affinity groups to draft and revise their research questions and be paired with an
experienced researcher, who will serve as their mentor for the following year.
The OERI is jointly funded by KPU Open Education and BCcampus. While there will be no cost
to register for the event, registration is required to plan for catering and other
logistics. The OERI has deliberately been scheduled to take place the day after the
Festival of Learning<https://festival.bccampus.ca/> to make it easier for those
travelling to the Lower Mainland for that event to participate in the institute.
Date: Thursday, May 14, 2020
Time: 8:30am- 4:30pm, followed by a no-host dinner
