Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the creation of an Open Education Research Fellowship:
https://www.kpu.ca/open/research-fellowship
This annual fellowship will run 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. The research approach
may be qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods and may require approval by KPU’s
Research Ethics Board<https://www.kpu.ca/research/research-ethics>. It is expected
that at least one research project will be designed and conducted by the Open Education
Research Fellow over the one-year term of the fellowship and that the results of this
research will be presented at relevant conferences and prepared for publication. Open
access publication is required, whether in open access journals or in an open repository
(e.g., pre-print or post-print).
The Open Education Research Fellowship is jointly funded by Open Education and the Office
of Research Services.
The Open Education Research Fellow will:
* Receive mentorship in open education research
* Participate in the annual Open Education Research
Institute<https://www.kpu.ca/open/oeri> at KPU (save the date: May 14, 2020)
* Design and conduct research on open educational practices
* Present on their research progress at relevant KPU events (e.g., Teaching, Learning,
Scholarship, & Research Symposium)
* Author 1-2 blog posts related to their open education research
* Receive up to $2,000 in funding to hire a student research assistant
* Receive up to $2,500 in funding to attend the Cascadia Open Education
Summit/Festival of Learning and one other major open education conference
