SUMMARY:Open Education Week 2021: Sharing locally\, nationally and globally
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]1-4 March 2021 marks the tenth annual Open Education Week (#OEWeek)\, a global event that seeks to raise awareness and highlight open education efforts worldwide. To mark Open Education Week 2021\, the National Forum is sharing our current open education initiatives as well as highlighting a range of open education initiatives from across the Irish higher education sector. If you want to learn more about the potential of open educational resources and practices (OER and OEP) to enhance teaching and learning\, explore the initiatives below\, contact any of the individuals mentioned\, and/or get in touch with the National Forum. Happy Open Education Week! \nNational Forum OER/OEP initiatives \nThe National Forum is strongly committed to supporting open education in Irish higher education. For example\, to facilitate sharing across the sector\, all National Forum resources are shared with a Creative Commons CC BY license\, meaning they can be retained\, reused\, revised\, remixed and redistributed by others. All National Forum resources related to OER and OEP can be found at www.teachingandlearning.ie/open. These resources include our two widely-used OER/OEP guides – the National Forum Open Licensing Toolkit and How to Choose an Open Licence – as well as recordings of past OER/OEP webinars. \nOn Friday 26 March 2021\, the National Forum will host a webinar focused on ‘Using OER and OEP for Teaching and Learning’. The webinar will share a range of materials and guidance designed to build capacity in OER and OEP in Irish higher education. All the resources and approaches shared will form the basis of a forthcoming National Forum open course. This webinar will be helpful to staff across the sector who are interested in further exploring and supporting the use of OER and OEP in their own contexts. You can register for the webinar here. \n  \nOER/OEP initiatives across the Irish higher education sector \nAn increasing focus on open education is evident across the Irish higher education sector. In February 2021\, we invited National Forum Associates and others to share news of current activities and resources at their institutions that support the use of OER and OEP. Following is a summary of these updates. While this represents just a snapshot of OER/OEP activities across the sector\, the following list gives a good idea of the range of activities and the increasing focus on OER and OEP to enhance teaching and learning in higher education.
