Integrating Open Education into your Practice with ENCORE!

Try following these steps:

> Use the Template

Available here at this LINK (Project work Step 1: Make a pledge for opening up your course/teaching).

  • You can select a course of yours and commit to transform it into an open course, possibly made available at no cost to students who are not enrolled in your institution.
  • Or you can select a learning resource that you are actually using (a book, a set of PowerPoints, or the content covering a whole course) and commit to make it open, by adopting open licences and by making the resource searchable through different repositories.
  • Or, you can commit to adopt an open teaching or Open Assessment strategy within your course, and describe this strategy in your pledge.

Please prepare your project work, including:

  • the objectives of your project work;
  • the approach and area of your course where you will introduce green, entrepreneurial or digital skills;
  • the activities that you will run during the project work;
  • the main results of your project work;
  • the benefits that your project work will bring to you, to your students and to your institution;
  • and how you will recognise learning.

> Starting from this setting, now go and browse ENCORE!
What did you find? Do you think the resources are appropriate? Did you change areas of the learning pathway?

> Share your work:

  • with your presentation on a padlet (share the link);
  • by starting your forum discussion;
  • by initiating a peer review.

> After the activity with ENCORE, claim your badge.

Available here at this LINK (ORCA Pod: ENCORE Creator - Achievements).
This achievement may be claimed by anybody and can be shared on your social networks.

  • Document how ENCORE was used to create an Open Educational Resource.
  • Describe your experience with ENCORE.
  • Provide the URL/PDF to the learning resource designed on the platform.

> Promote a moment of self-reflection by concluding the activity with these questionnaires: How Open can I be? and Your Opinion on the session.
