Keeping the openTEL tradition of innovation with technology alive, in March 2020 Tina Papathoma ran the first online Evidence Cafe (a type of knowledge exchange event pioneered by the Open University’s Institute of Educational Technology. See here for more details). Tina’s experiences of running the event are available on her blog, and contain many hints and tips to anyone running online workshops or events.
18 people attended the openAIED Special Interest Group on Tuesday 21st April for presentations by Ekaterina Muravyeva and Maina Korir.
The session was not recorded on request.
A hands-on workshop about how to design citizen science investigations using the nQuire platform (nquire.org.uk) took place on the 6th March 2020 at the Open University UK.
Attendees, mainly from a range of non-academic organisations such as museums, health care, environmental sciences and journalists, had the opportunity to learn about the nQuire platform and how to author their own personally meaningful investigations including piloting a first version of their investigation.
nQuire is a platform developed by the Open University in partnership with the BBC. It has been designed to support the process of setting up, managing, and implementing citizen science projects from start to the end. It includes a dynamic toolkit that allows for data collection from a range of resources including sounds, images, text, and sensor data while a process of approvals ensures that all live projects are ethically designed, approved and checked.
