Re: [Openkpu] Open Education Research Fellow: Call for applicants

Hello Nicolas, Thank you for your question. I appreciate that we do have some members of this listserv who are external to KPU; however, our Open Education Research Fellow program is indeed aimed at developing local expertise and providing support for regular faculty members at KPU. Having said that, I will also point out that there are a few external opportunities available that also provide support for open education research. See for example: OER Research Fellow Program <https://openedgroup.org/fellowship> hosted by Brigham Young University Global OER Graduate Network <https://go-gn.net/> I hope this information is helpful.

Is it open to people who are members of this mailing list but who are not "regular faculty of KPU" (which I am not). But as this mail arrives to me even though it is written "aimed at supporting scholarly research on open educational practices by regular faculty at KPU" I ask the question. Much thanks, Nicolas Pettiaux PS I hope that you and your dearest are all well.

This may include investigations into the cost savings, perceptions, outcomes, and use of open educational resources (see the Open Education Group’s COUP framework <https://openedgroup.org/coup>) as well as research on the perceptions and impact of renewable assignments and other forms of open pedagogy.    For more information and to apply* *by *November 30, 2020 *visit:* https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship *    Hear why open is so important to our current Research Fellow:    “[Open] is a pathway for me to be student-centred for all my students because it removes financial and other barriers that might be exclusionary. By using OER and open pedagogy practices, I am working with students, amplifying their perspectives, experiences, and voices. As KPU’s inaugural Open Education Research Fellow, I am conducting one of the first studies to explore the perceptions of faculty and students towards open pedagogy, in the hopes that faculty and administrators can make informed choices about open education practices and its support.” -*Melissa Ashman* (Faculty of Business)      Best, logo gif *Urooj Nizami; MISt, MA *(she/her) Open Education Strategist, Office of Open Education Kwantlen Polytechnic University *e* urooj.nizami(a)kpu.ca <mailto:urooj.nizami@kpu.ca> *w*  www.kpu.ca/open <http://www.kpu.ca/open>  *Subscribe to the KPU Open listserv**here <lists.bccampus.ca/mailman/listinfo/openkpu>* * * *Kwantlen Polytechnic University** ** **►** **Where thought meets action * This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.
