Limited Registration | Open Education Research Institute (OERI)
Dates: Monday, May 3 | Wednesday, May 5 | Friday, May 7
Time: 9am – 12pm (PST)
Program Description: As open education initiatives mature, it is imperative to investigate
their impacts whether it be to advocate for institutional support or to iterate, innovate
and further advance the goal of equitable access. For this reason, open education research
is becoming an important facet within a healthy and thriving open ecosystem. This
three-day Open Education Research Institute (OERI) provides an opportunity for new and
emerging researchers interested in open educational practices to deepen their knowledge
and sharpen their skillset while connecting with other researchers and joining a
Provincial mentorship network.
Learning Outcomes:
Participants will
* receive an overview of existing research on open educational practices, including a
special focus on research conducted in or by researchers in British Columbia.
* learn about different theoretical and methodological frameworks for research in open
education
* 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
* 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's Office of Open Education and BCcampus. While there
will be no cost to register for the event, registration is required for planning and
logistics.
To maintain a fruitful experience for participants, registration is limited.
