Presentation of the Cooperation Network OER (KNOER) at the U:FF, 27.04.2023 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:05 p.m.

In the session “Establishing OER in higher education teaching together – the cooperation network KNOER” you will gain insights into current developments around OER in higher education teaching. A special focus will be on the Cooperation Network OER (KN-OER.de).

The motto of the 2023 University:Future Festival organised by the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung and the Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre is “Heads up”.
The free event will take place in Berlin on physical stages across Germany as well as digitally.
One of the physical stages is in Bochum and is coordinated by the NRW state portal ORCA.nrw. There, the focus is on the track “Vision & Openess”. Questions here are:

How is university teaching made open?
What good practices are there in Open Educational Resources (OER)?
How do OER reach a broad audience?
What are the very long lines of development, what will higher education look like in 20 years? And what can policy-makers do to support positive developments?

You can find more information on the event website.

A digital (via zoom) OER symposium for teacher education took place on 23.02.2023 from 10 AM – 3 PM. This symposium was organised by the universities of Duisburg-Essen, Cologne, Dortmund, Siegen and Paderborn. Please make a note of the date. You can register for the conference and find more information about the programme on this page from mid-January.

The OER symposia are organised by the ORCA.nrw state portal network on the initiative of the AG Prorektor*innen. They bring together teachers from the subject communities for an exchange of experience and knowledge on Open Educational Resources. Teachers from NRW who are currently implementing extensive OER projects themselves report on their practical experience.

Our cooperation network KNOER was participating in the OERcamp 2022 in Hamburg and organised a workshop on the first day of the event where the requirements for a modern, i.e. up-to-date IT infrastructure (focus on higher education) were discussed.

The OER Camp 2022 took take place in Hamburg from 24 to 26 October 2022. The event focused on learning and exchange around OER in different formats.
