Dear colleagues,
I am delighted to inform you that our inaugural Open Education Research Institute on May
14 is now full, with participants from across 15 institutions registered for the event,
which will be held at our Civic Plaza campus. A waitlist is available.
As a reminder, 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.
