Open Assessment Technologies S.A.’s Post

There's a free webinar run by Joseph Roundtree Foundation on 18th Sept at 2pm BST on "Collective Imagination Practices Toolkit Launch" - to begin to explore different ways to sense, feel, imagine and ultimately build alternatives to broken systems. The toolkit includes a curated selection of collective imagination tools, methods and frameworks from practitioners internationally, which is intentionally open source & the 6 thematic areas include: 1. exploring civic imagination 2. temporal imagination 3. ecological imagination 4. collective intelligences 5. somatic intelligences 6. different frameworks for reframing and unpacking the systems and challenges of our time.

How connecting seemingly unrelated fields of knowledge sparks innovation ? ; This is the link to the recording of my talk at the Annual Institute of Teaching and Learning and Student Success Summit.

Thinking about education today is a whirlwind of challenges and a confusing alphabet soup of promised solutions - HQIM, SoR, AI – enough to make anyone's eyes glaze over when considering how to truly support schools. I'm thrilled that the best educator I know, Marissa Fraser and her brilliant teammates at Lit, are leading a webinar to make sense of this, and to show us the road map to improve the prerequisite for just about all other education goals we have: supporting every student to become a reader. Whether you're an education pro looking to infuse the latest evidence into your practice, a systems leader aiming to prioritize the most meaningful conditions to set your schools up for success, or a funder/community member who cares deeply about this work, I guarantee you'll hear something tomorrow that you'll write down and want to implement or consider that very same day.

When I got to Lit, I thought that our "READ" (reading ecosystem alignment diagnostic) was the coolest tool! It synthesizes hundreds of books, articles and papers on science of reading into a clear set of standards that you can use to understand where your school system is and is not yet aligned. If reading instruction is at the top of your priority list and you want to know whether you have all of the components of an equitable, research-aligned reading ecosystem in place-- you should come to our webinar! Join Lit next week for our next webinar, “Building a Research-Aligned Reading Ecosystem: A Leader’s Guide to the READ.” Lit Managing Partner Marissa Fraser will explain the components of a research-aligned reading ecosystem and share resources to reflect on your own system with Lit’s Reading Ecosystem Alignment Diagnostic (READ). 🗓️ October 22 at 1 p.m. ET 👉 Save Your Spot: https://lnkd.in/gz88KgiR

For a forthcoming webinar, I'm looking for a CAMPUS-BASED source who can give examples from their institution about forming deeper partnerships and collaboration with other institutions. How did you deal with the complexity of the collaboration? How did you get over the cultural hurdles? If you're interested, comment below, DM me, or reach out through jeffselingo (dot)com.

❓ Are you based in Africa and involved in Open Science initiatives? Do you know of or organise events, talks, webinars, or training related to any aspect of Open Science? 👁️🗨️ If you would like to increase the visibility of your events, please share them on the Open Research Calendar - https://lnkd.in/eDiE_nee 🌍 It will be great to have a better view of the breadth of Open Science events taking place on the continent 🤩 ! 📍 Click this link to get your event listed on the Open Research Calendar: https://lnkd.in/eY3Sy796 Here's more info about the Open Research Calendar from their website (https://lnkd.in/eZQJjPaX): "Open Research Calendar (@openresearchcal) was created as a community-powered tool by a few of the attendees of the ‘Advanced Methods in Reproducible Science’ workshop, which was organised by the University of Bristol (also known on Twitter as #Repro2020). Attendees of #Repro2019 initially generated the idea. The tool was designed, created, and beta-tested in January 2020 and officially launched in February 2020. The tool was created to serve the open research community in collating worldwide   open research events into one database. These events are displayed in a Google Calendar   (iCal Link), which can be synced into a person’s own calendar (updating as new events get added). " #openscience #Africa
