 Okay, so thank you for joining us again for this session from SURF. They're going to be speaking about train-to-train module, redesign your teaching with open educational resources. We are looking forward to your presentation. Please, you can call it and start. Okay, thank you very much. Welcome everybody to our session in the next 20 minutes or so. We want to talk to you about our roadmap to design a process around OER within higher education institutions. A train-to-trainer session we developed for people to get started with organizing the workshop and our strategy to bring open into the Dutch higher education institutions. So, my name is Likeren Tink and I'm a project leader on OER at SURF. And my colleague is Michelle Janse, Wave Michelle and he's also project leader of OER at SURF. SURF is a collaborative organization for higher education and research and IT. More than a hundred educational institutions and research institutions in the Netherlands work together in SURF cooperative to fully utilize the opportunities of digitalization. And what do we want to do? We want to make education and research better and more flexible. My ambition is that by 2025 all teachers at Dutch higher education institutions make their teaching materials openly available and that we thus fully fulfill a pioneering role in the world. Well, this is the statement of our minister of education, Jette Bussemaker in 2015. And since then SURF together with the Dutch higher education institutions worked really hard to establish this. We worked on infrastructure level, we worked on policy level, on professionalization level and organizational level. And here are just some examples of what we have been doing together with the institutions, high education institutions, but also with the acceleration plan zone towards digital open educational resources. We build an infrastructure repository and a Dutch search engine, EduSources, which will be a surface for higher education in the Netherlands from January next year. We have vision and policy, for vision and policy we developed a roadmap for institutions, developed their own policy on OER and around provisionalization and organizational support. We have several roadmaps. We have several roadmaps like the introduction to OER or different kinds of quality and the one for policymakers. And we combine that with workshops and meetings and so on. And we focus on communities of teachers. Collaboration is a really big part of this. We collaborate with special interest groups and also with a library workgroup on OER. And as I mentioned, the acceleration plan zone, digital educational resources. All our roadmaps you can find on this link. Michel can also share it in the chat. And I see now that Robert, he is the leader of the zone from the OER as it's a difficult word. Well, look at the link. We have a session this afternoon about what we do in the acceleration plan. So this is just what we have been doing, but it's been a difficult process. And you all probably recognize this. There are many barriers for teachers and support staff. They come across a lot of barriers. And it really is a cultural change that isn't done in a day. So how do we get a step further? We do reach teachers, but they experience these barriers. So upscaling is difficult. Our solution is we try to get OER on the agenda in every higher education institution in the Netherlands. We developed a basic OER workshop and a whole trajectory around it, which is easily adaptable for every institution in the Netherlands, or you guys. And it focuses on lecturers and support staff getting started and removing barriers. And so we designed a roadmap and trained a trainer module to get started. Let's take a closer look at the workshop. Michel. Yes. Thank you, Lika. Okay. So the first goal of the workshop is the goal for the lectures, because they are going to join the workshops in their institutions and they have to redesign their own course. And we hope they will use OER, but we don't sell it as an OER workshop. The idea is with this workshop, they will get the redesign of their course. That's the main thought. The plan is that you can organize this training in your institution. Don't organize it on your own, because it's better that you work together with people from your departments at your own institution. For example, it can be a collaboration between the library staff, educational support. So if you work together, it will be more effective. The training has three stages. Preparation, an online meeting, and a follow-up. And these take place in about two months. The first assignment a teacher receives is that he or she should check out a roadmap introduction to open educational resources. This is one of the roadmaps Lika pointed out. And this is what the module looks like. And in the chat, you will find the link to this roadmap. And it's a brief introduction to OER. And by completing this module, you will master the basic knowledge of OER. And this module is also an OER, an open educational resource. So you can copy it, reuse it, and do work with it what you want to. So after the introduction, we asked them also to collect information about their own course, because they have to redesign their course in this training. So they need to know all the preconditions of this course. And they must research educational materials in advance. In the online meeting, we take a closer look at OER. We have a Creative Commons quiz and a talk about possibilities within the organization. We give our presentations with more information about specific repositories that are useful for especially this group of teachers. We spill it up in breakout groups, discuss the resources everyone has found, and each breakout group has contains of contains an educational support and advisor. And then after this online meeting, we do have the follow up meeting. There we will talk about the progress everyone has made with these barriers that they have experienced and the redesign of their course. And this is also a time for us to check if the teachers need more support. So this is the main thought of the workshop. But there's more. There's a second goal. And that's the goal for the support staff. By joining this workshop, they get a better view of the barriers the teachers and the lecturers experience. And on the base of that, they can organize better support. They get the same preparation assignments as the teachers. So they have the first do the introduction module OER. And they have also looked for the specific topics of the teachers for educational materials, but not only regular materials, but they have to look especially for open educational resources. The rest of the training is the same. And there's one more meeting for the support staff. And in this meeting, they have a discussion about the policy and the supports their organization. They are organizing in their own institution. And on the base of that, they have to ask themselves, can we make better policies for OER? And can we improve or support? Okay, that's are the two goals or the two lines links in this workshops. And to organize this kind of training, we have designed a roadmap. And this is how it looks like. The roadmap for development of workshops, redesign your teaching using open educational resources. And in the chat, you will find the link to it. It's a really long link. And it's also, again, it's open. It's open so you can use it yourself. The basic idea was to organize a face to face meetings. But due to COVID-19, we had to change our plans. And we redesigned everything for online. So we redesigned everything. And we add an extra step, step number seven. And that will help you to organize the face to face meetings when that's possible again. To test this roadmap, we organize two pilots in two institutions. The module has been improved on the base of those experiences. And all the materials they used in the pilots workshops can be found in our national portal with OER. And especially today, the Rijksingen-Wersteit Groningen is organizing the workshop for the second time already. So it's quite a success. You have to know that SERV is a national organization. And we hope that this step by step plan that people will apparently use it to organize workshops in their own institutions. And we organized the trainer sessions to stimulate this and to help the people on their way. We organized this training, the training meetings. And we now did it twice. We had two times 20 participants. And the reactions were really positive. We also asked them, the people, if they want to join in a community of practice. And almost half of them said, yeah, we want to work together and organize these kind of workshops in our institution. And yeah, so we're now organizing a community of practice around this roadmap. Lieke, can you tell us something about our experiences and advice we have to the people? Yes, I can. Thank you. So from our experience, and also from Groningen and the HON, where we did the pilots, we experienced that working together is the main organized workshop with people from different departments. So library, educational support, policy departments. To make OER a success, you will need to get all these departments on board. So let them join in and in an early stage and do it together. Michelle mentioned this already. Don't sell it as an OER workshop. Teachers want to be helped. And they don't want new things. And they don't want to learn new stuff. So we really focused on the reuse of material and the quality. And it's a good selling point. Make it easy as easy as possible for the teachers. Help them redesign their own teaching. And the next conclusion actually is one that goes on from this one because of the two targets groups. I think that's the most important thing of this workshop. We have the teachers. They are the core of this. They need to want to use it, but without the support staff, without the policy makers. Without them, you cannot onboard a teacher. You cannot get OER a step further. So this is really the core of the conclusions. Also, we are building the community of practice around the workshop with the trainers. Everybody, the experience in the Netherlands, we are trying to share experiences and learn from each other what works in institutions, what doesn't work. But we're really in the beginning of this. So now more institutions are looking into it and starting with it. So in the upcoming months, this will be an important part of what we're doing. And last but not least, take care, have fun and copy, use it, call us, email us, put it in the chats of our session and share your experiences and advice. So get in touch. Here again, the link of the roadmaps. We will share our presentations afterwards and all the links in the chats under our session. Thank you. Questions, probably? Thank you very much, Lea again, Micheal. This was a really lovely presentation. And thank you for sharing all of those links in the chat window. The roadmap is really great. So I think there are some questions and there are some interesting exchanges in the chat window between participants as well. So the first question I think was from Bea. She was asking, what is the incentive for teachers to participate in this? So what is driving this process for them? We focus on every institution on their own. So it really is a, how do you say it? Everybody makes their own workshop. So we really look into it, what is important in your institution? Use that. So we made a basic, you can use that, look at what the others did, but really tweak it to your own, from your course or your institution. So I think that's, Micheal, do you have something to... No, and they want to join because they are helped to redesign their educations, their courses. So we really sell it as we can help you. And it's not about OER, it's about making better education, making a better course. And that's also the reason why people want to join, I think. Okay, thank you very much for the clarifications. The next question that was, and that sparked a little bit of a discussion, is that you should not be selling this as a sort of OER activity or OER workshop. And I think there are some views for pros and cons. And so why not sell it as an OER workshop? My experience is that the most teachers do not have any connection with OER. They just want to spend their time on designing good education and give good education. So we really want to help them. And if we say, oh, use OER, then they think, oh, we don't want this. So it's, we want to help them. And if they use some other resources, it's really good as well. But in this workshop, we explained that there's more than just regular designing your course. There's more, there are more possibilities and there are possibilities for free, the resources for free. So we want to for light, who said you don't leak it, we want to get to show them the world that there's more. And if we are lucky, they gonna, they gonna use OER if they see the power of it. But if they don't, no problem. Thank you very much. I think that the approach is probably that works in specific institutions, might not work at other institutions. There is a plurality of approaches here, right? Yes, exactly. Because some institutions would want to promote OER. And so then that's totally fine. Then do that. But our feeling is that it's better to use an other strategy. But what works best for your institution? That's the main topic. Yeah. And I think, also, what will work in your country? In Holland, everyone is really free and to do what they want to. So if you're gonna say, you have to do this, then everyone is thinking, no, I don't want to. So that's also the culture in Holland. So it doesn't work in every country, I think. Well, thank you very much to both of you. And I think there are still some interesting exchanges in the chat window. We have run out of time, unfortunately. But I do welcome all of you to continue these discussions on OERG Connect Space under the respective session. Thank you very much to both of you. I really appreciate your sharing today and sharing all of those super useful links. Thank you so much.
