 So it's a shift in geography. I think we have slides that we can share at some point. My name is Cristina Cifanelli. I will share the presentation with Javier and Daniel. I'm from Italy in the middle of the apocalypse. And I work at UNIMED, which is Mediterranean University Union, which is a network of universities focused on the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation. And we will talk about OpenMED, which stands for Opening Up Education in South Mediterranean countries, which is an initiative funded by the Rasmus Blast Programme of the European Union, aimed at raising awareness on the adoption of open educational resources and open educational practices in the South Mediterranean countries with a specific focus on higher education in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Palestine. In those countries, the demand of higher education often exceeds capacity of the higher education system. And the use and integration of open educational resources and open practices are possible ways to expand access to learning opportunities, thus promoting equity, inclusion, and democratization of higher education. We have been working with a pretty large consortium of universities in the UK, in Spain, and in the South Mediterranean countries. There is a picture where we are all together in Coventry University during one of our coordination meetings. And what we have done during this project is to revise and analyze open education initiatives worldwide, which could have been easily transferred to those countries. We have been widening participation in open education through consultations with national stakeholders. We have also done a set up of physical centers in the eight partner universities. And we have designed and developed an OER training course to build capacities for educators in using, adopting open educational resources. The project is finished, well, the funding is finished one year and a half ago. What we have done during this period is to consolidate the community, the large community of educators in those countries, and to analyze the impact of this capacity building intervention one year later to see what they have done with the competencies, with the resources, with the centers, et cetera. I leave the floor to Daniel, who will speak a little bit about the course. And Javier, I will go through the impact assessment. Thank you, Cristina. Yes, so as Cristina said, the course was just one component within a wider set of outputs, but it was a very important one. And it was one developed collaboratively throughout different steps in the project. So I think it's quite important to stress that all the partners were involved, even though each of the, you can see on the slides that there were five modules within the course and they were led by different institutions that all institutions were involved in the development of the course. We had even a facilitators workshop in Madrid, I think back in May 2017, where we started to work together brainstorming on the content, but also the methodology for delivering the content, which each university had some level of autonomy to decide how they wanted to arrange some learning circles. We were using a virtual learning environment for that, but the content is now available. If you go to the website, you are able to not just have access to the content, but also do some activities. You can see on the slides now the kind of split of participants. And actually the gender imbalance was something quite interesting that we discussed at different points in the project and was a major concern by our partners in the South Mediterranean countries as well. Some of them took the project as an opportunity to actually break down some gender barriers. And also, as you can see, it's interesting the age, because we had an interesting balance of young early career lecturers, but also senior people. We managed to involve senior people who were able to also impact the decision-making and policy-making at an institutional level. So I said that we started with this facilitator's workshop in Madrid, and then we kept working together remotely through a number of face-to-face meetings back in the day when we had the possibility to participate in face-to-face meetings. And we also opened a version that could be revised. We took contributions and feedback from the wider community, so not just the people involved directly in the projects. At some point we shared with the community, the OER community, the draft of the course and that was very useful as a way of getting some inputs and revising the content. And then, of course, we had also a meeting in Torino, and that's where we covered some part of the content. And then we started, so we knew that we wanted to complement the online stages with something which was face-to-face and that was a way of kicking off that part of the project and that was quite important to meet all together in Torino. We had wonderful guest speakers and then after that, the different partners started to facilitate their own learning circles in their own institutions and also inviting, in some cases, all the institutions from the respective countries. And then, also, apart from that, we ran series of webinars which we had the chance to involve fantastic colleagues, some of them have been with us in this conference, like Lorna Campbell or Catherine Cronin, Bea as well. So, in total, there were five webinars open to the large community, not just the partners involved in the project. So, I don't know if I have missed anything, Cristina and Javier, which was relevant about the course, but I think I've pretty much covered the basics. Yeah, I showed you the links to the reusable versions of the course and all the work that you did and make it really open. Yeah, as I said, it was delivered through a VLE, but we knew that we wanted to make this truly open. So, now there is a legacy package and also we'll share a link to a kind of legacy plan because we made an effort to make sure that everything was available beyond the life of the funded life of the project. Yeah, thank you, Dani. Yeah, so, of course, if you have questions, we'll try to go as fast as I can. So, we'll give you time to discuss and to talk about more of the course and the legacy plan. What we did with Cristina and with Dani this year was actually was last year an impact assessment. When we first started with the course, with the OpenMED course, we asked the participants, both the facilitators and the students, how do they engage with open education? What was the level of knowledge or understanding of open educational practices and also what was the professional expectations that they had with the course, but also the as the project has many components, what's where to develop the policy level and also the institutional level in regards to open education around country members and also the institutions. So, when we looked and this is all to Cristina, when we looked at how we could have an impact at policy level, we conducted five national strategy forums where participants from from the party universities, but also from all the universities in the country were invited to discuss policy and strategic plans for the adoption of open education, open educational practices in general. And we set up a regional agenda for the self-management universities, which was actually discussed almost publicly. So, I don't know if we have the link to it, but what we did was to create an agenda and to have a set of targets and goals and to make, to leave it available for everyone to discuss so we can have the entire open education community having their say. And finally, we have the recommendations to institutional leaders and policy makers in the region. One of the things that the document aims is to engage within your management to foster the development of open education policies and, for example, one of the first outcomes is the Moroccan education, open education declaration, which is actually based to in the Scottish declaration. So, one of the things that is quite interesting is that these recommendations can be tailored and something that we are now working very closely with Christina is to develop further development of these recommendations for the development of open education policies. So, here's kind of the overview of what we reach for the policy forums. We're actually really, really fun because we're trying to create and develop national institutional strategies through the strategy forums but that was all together with the agenda that we already have that was kind of shared by every member. So, the agenda has five levels let's say open content, open licensing, pedagogy and practices, technology, governance and business models and also collaboration models between institutions because of course, even though we had partner institutions the idea is that these partner institutions became the reference center for the rest of the country. So, it's not just that we work with one institution for that institution is that institution is actually, and this is what's happening our partner institution are now the reference centers in their own countries on open education. So, we have the roadmap for open education and also the this is something maybe Christina would like to briefly mention what we did with that but it's not just the paperwork at policy and impact level and it's actually some physical work that is quite interesting because OpenMed funded the innovation centers for open education at Southern Mediterranean University. So, maybe Christina do you want to show what they are? Yes, we have some pictures this was just mentioned that we have supported those universities also to establish physical centers within the university with simple tools like computers or some of them both well keep the centers with green screens or things like that but having a physical center a physical space within the university is useful both at the institutional level to have open education initiative recognized within within the university physically and also as a space for professors to meet and share and get inspired there is one center that I think that we have a slide about that in Morocco where they have a keep like trolley like mobile studios because the center was really small with like 3-4 persons working there and they were not able to support all the professors so what they have done is to buy trolley with the mobile studios this is a picture so professors can just take those mobile studios and record lessons or do what they need to do to produce content just a 5 minutes left thanks so when so when we asked after one year that we completed the course we asked the participants and the facilitators so the learners and facilitators about the impact that the open med course had to them we could see quite interesting outcomes so for example maybe it's quite small but we asked about the confidence how confident the participants felt before and after the course so you can see that before the open med course most of the participants felt like mightly confident slightly confident but the confidence feeling quite increased quite quite quite quite a lot after the course so we asked people how confident they felt about like open educational approach pedagogy and approaches, open licensing, creation of meds and production of use of OER and open educational practices so we asked them also how what was the impact of the skills that they acquired through open med it's quite interesting to say that most of them created content for the courses but also a small group were creating policies for their universities or were leading open education projects at the universities or belong to committees or were designed open education policies at workplaces so but also we were asking how was the impacts of open med in their professional careers and we were actually quite amazed to see even though it's a small percentage we have two participants that were giving a teaching award because of the practices that improved business, I've noticed that lots of participants were training all the colleagues in open education they were the reference people for open education in their institutions, their bosses their colleagues, the students were asking them about open education and some of them were really happy to be invited to talk about open education by all the universities so most were invited to talk about open education at international events so actually for people that were just starting with open education, most of them, most of the participants have no relationship with it before the open med project the impact is quite important and it's quite huge and actually it's really great for us and the community still keeps going on, we have a mailing list where we all talk to each other and they invite us to events, we send them what we're doing, they tell us about their publications or they tell us about their course so I don't know if you just want to close down talking about the community Yes this is us with the recommendations the community is still there, of course we need to keep the community running in a sense this is just the last initiative that we have done during COVID-19 we have done this plot which is this mini site, I have to thank Danyan and all the plot people around for empowering me to do all those things online but we have done this mini website to collect stories of online resilience during this period of emergency this is the link to this mini website which is open to everyone so if you would like to share what you are doing to cope with the emergency to inspire our Mediterranean community you are much welcome thank you thank you for having us and thanks for hosting this beautiful event thank you very much to all
