Second Multiplier Event – University of Limerick
The second multiplier event of the SHOUT4HE project
commenced with the presentations of our guest speakers in
order to set up the context of OEP, national and institutional
developments around open practice and digital capacity. Dr
Catherine Cronin’s presentation, titled ‘Digital education, digital
capabilities and OEP’ provided a broad definition of open
education that emphasised the need for improving educational
access, effectiveness and equity. She briefed the audience on
the national developments regarding open educational practice
(OEP) and pointed to the existence of very useful resources
regarding Creative Commons licensing for those sharing their
educational practices.
Dr Sharon Flynn updated the audience regarding the Irish
Universities Association project ‘Enabling Change:
Enhancing digital capacity in teaching and learning in Irish
universities’ and its linkages with the SHOUT4HE.
Specifically, she explored how the Digital Competence
Framework for Educators (DigCompEdu) enables the sharing
of teaching practice, as exemplified in SHOUT4HE. Next,
Prof Beauchamp presented SHOUT4HE to the audience, its
participating partners and the progress to date with the
intellectual outputs for the project. Finally, Dr Angelica
Risquez explained next in more detail the recognition
framework of SHOUT4HE (Intellectual Output 1).
We provided participants in the room with a printed copy of
the descriptors of the framework so they could read the
choices and identify themselves in the continuum. We used
Mentimeter to facilitate the self-evaluation exercise,
commenting on the responses as we went along. Finally, a
reflective workshop was facilitated by our two guest
speakers, in order to inspire participants further to engage in
open sharing of their teaching innovation. Participants
worked in groups and produced an artifact to sum up their
reflections, and uploaded them in Padlet
(https://padlet.com/CTLUL/shareopen). All the slides for the
event were openly shared (link).
