Abstract:

Open access journals have developed new business processes and reve- nue models. Within our contribution we will describe and discuss a new service and revenue model for open access journals: the personal book printing service for the Open Journal System (OJS). To start with, we will give a short introduction to open access journals and their revenue models, new print-on-demand services, and the most often used open journal system. Building upon this state of the art, we will describe the technical prototype of our new “personal book printing service” for OJS and discuss our first experiences.

#COER13 – von OER zu Open Science – macht mit :-)

Wir beschäftigen uns nicht nur mit Open Educational Resources, sondern auch mit dem Theme Openess generell. Da gehört z.B. auch Open Access oder Open Data hinzu. Das alles steht natürlich in unmittelbaren Zusammenhang mit Open Science.
Dazu wurde in Österreich eine Gruppe gegründet die sich diesem Thema näher widmen möchte. Auf der Homepage wird die Idee so formuliert:

Wissenschaft ist für uns:

  • unabhängig, kontrollierbar, wiederverwendbar und reproduzierbar
  • kritisch gegenüber sich selbst
  • benutzt einen systemisch Ansatz
  • bindet die Gesellschaft in den wissenschaftlichen Prozess mit ein

Open Science ermöglicht durch offen zugängliche Wissenschaft das Reproduzieren und kritische Hinterfragen der Arbeit sowie das Verwenden der Erkenntnisse für weitere Zwecke. Von der ersten Recherche bis hin zur Veröffentlichung des Papers wird dokumentiert und veröffentlicht was relevant ist, soweit praktikabel – freie Urheberrechte spielen dabei eine zentrale Rolle

Jetzt freut uns besonders, dass wir alle Interessierten einladen können zum insgesamt dritten Treffen dieser Gruppe, welche am 22.4.2013 in Graz an der Technischen Universität stattfinden soll. Hier alle Details zur geplanten Veranstaltung.

[journal] International Journal for Innovation and Quality in Learning (INNOQUAL)

INNOQUALI am very pleased to announce that I am Editorial Board Member of the International Journal for Innovation and Quality in Learning. The most promising fact for me is that this journal like to establish an Open Discussion during the review process – this looks very interesting and I am happy to gather some experiences with this possibility.

The European Foundation for Quality in E Learning (EFQUEL) will is preparing the launch of the “International Journal for Innovation and Quality in Learning” (INNOQUAL) which will provide an international perspective on the theory and practice of innovation and quality in the field of learning at all educational levels and in all training contexts.
One core mission is to create more open dialogue on research in the area. I am pleased to invite you to join the open discussion on five selected papers, which are candidates for the inclusion into the INNOQUAL inaugural journal to be published in April 2013. No registration, no downloads, no long review forms are needed. You can simply comment on the papers directly via google docs following our easy ground rules.
All five papers are presented at the INNOQUAL website:

  • “Knowledge Exchange Across Borders – Internationalization of Open Education using Trusted Educational Networks”
  • “Transtitution – Transforming higher educational institutions through modernization of middle management”
  • “E-Learning quality assurance as a tool for open innovation in educational institutions: an Estonian case”
  • “A view on Personal Learning Environments through approaches to learning”
  • “Evaluating teaching and management innovations in an online university: the case of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya”

Get inspired, support authors who are willing to make review procedures more open, find peers who are also interested in discussing research in this area openly.
