Open Science Policy Austria: “So offen wie möglich”

Die “Open Science Policy Austria” ist erschienen und Österreich bekennt sich damit ganz klar zur Open-Science-Bewegung und will Open Access stärken. Im Zuge dessen spielt natürlich auch OER eine sehr bedeutende Rolle und das kann man auch in diesem Abschnitt lesen:

Wir nehmen diese erfreuliche Entwicklung natürlich als Auftrag uns weiter intensiv im Projekt Open Education Austria mit dem Thema zu beschäftigen und es auch voran zu treiben.

[publication] Strategien zu offenen Bildungsressourcen an österreichischen öffentlichen Universitäten – Eine Beschreibung von nationalen Strategien, Whitepapers und Projekten sowie eine Analyse der aktuellen Leistungsvereinbarungen #OER #strategie #OpenEducation

Wir haben für die GMW 2021 Konferenz einen Beitrag gemacht zu “Strategien zu offenen Bildungsressourcen an österreichischen öffentlichen UniversitätenEine Beschreibung von nationalen Strategien, Whitepapers und Projekten sowie eine Analyse der aktuellen Leistungsvereinbarungen”. Die Idee war einmal darzustellen wie bei unseren Hochschulen das Thema OER strategisch abgebildet sind und welche Maßnahmen auf dem Weg dorthin geholfen haben.

Zusammenfassung:
Im Beitrag werden zunächst die österreichischen Strategien mit Bezug zu OER und den öffentlichen Universitäten sowie wichtige Initiativen beschrieben. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Auswertung der aktuellen Leistungsvereinbarungen der 22 öffentlichen Universitäten im Hinblick auf die Nennung von OER-Aktivitäten beschrieben. Damit wird aufgezeigt, dass 9 der 22 Universitäten konkrete OER-Vorhaben planen, drei weitere OER zumindest thematisieren. Zwei Universitäten haben bereits 2020 eine OER-Policy vorgelegt, weitere sind zeitnah zu erwarten. Die vorgelegte Beschreibung und Auswertung kann dabei als ein Beitrag zur in der UNESCO-Empfehlung zu OER (2019) gewünschten Entwicklung von Monitoring-Verfahren zu OER gesehen werden.

[publication] OER Certification of Individuals and Organisations in Higher Education: Implementations Worldwide #OER #OEAA

Our publication about “OER Certification of Individuals and Organisations in Higher Education: Implementations Worldwide” got published in the Open Praxis Journal:

Abstract:
The initiative “Open Education Austria Advanced” develops infrastructures for open educational resources (OER) in higher education. One part is the development of certification procedures to point out OER competencies of teachers in higher education and OER activities at Austrian universities. We present the results of our research on existing OER certification procedures from the German and English-speaking world. We started by searching in the OER World Map and there listed OER policies of universities worldwide and then tried to find examples for existing OER certification for people and organisations. There are several examples for certifications of persons such as in MOOCs on OER, university training on OER or the Creative Commons certification itself. We found only a few references of (partly) OER certificates for organisations. The publication then describes ambitions towards openness of the OER movement regarding possible certification procedures, namely open development, open content, open assessment and open certificates.
