[Openkpu] Open Education Research Fellow: Call for applicants

Open Education Research Fellow: Call for applicants Dear Colleagues, If you’re interested in research and building upon your experiences with Open Educational Resources (OER), the Open Education Research Fellowship<https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship> is for you! Receive up to $4500 in funding for this annual fellowship that runs from January 1 to December 31 and is aimed at supporting scholarly research on open educational practices by regular faculty at KPU. 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@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.
