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) 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. 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 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
Application process:
Complete the attached application form and submit it to
open@kpu.ca by November 30, 2019
The
Open Education Working Group will adjudicate applications and announce the recipient by December 10, 2019.
