Sharing Open educational practices Using Technology For Higher Education

Description

The ‘SHaring Open educational practices Using Technology For Higher Education’ (SHOUT4HE) project responded to the need for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to ‘prioritize and recognize’ (NMC Horizon Report: Higher Education Edition, 2017, p.2) ongoing learning about the use of technology by their staff to make a positive impact on teaching, learning, & creative inquiry in higher education. This can only happen if HE teacher’s skills are improved to enhance pedagogies. This is particularly important with the development of open educational resources (OERs) as the use digital technology becomes more pervasive and sophisticated in Higher Education (HE) teaching. Evidence suggest that this cannot happen in isolation, either within a university or an individual country, and needs to be developed through transnational cooperation between HEIs to ensure best practice and innovation is shared. Through transnational cooperation the project achieved three main objectives: 1. Development of a Recognition Framework (3D2) for effective use of technology in Higher Education (HE) teaching, to allow HE teachers to assess their current position, but also to see how to enhance their teaching in line with individual needs and expectations. 2. Design and development of a new, innovative e-Platform for sharing open education practices and resources. 3. Development a set of e-Resources (Pedagogical Practice Videos [PPVs] and eBooks) to be shared through the e-Platform and other networks. These consist of 45 OER Pedagogical Practice Videos (PPVs) and three eBooks.The project team consisted of five university partners (Cardiff Metropolitan University, Université Côte d'Azur, Hogeschool PXL, University of Limerick, Universite de Bordeaux) across four countries (Wales, Belgium, France, Ireland), all of whom are HE teachers. Each partner worked closely with a minimum of eight other HE teachers within their institution across a range of academic subjects to encourage cross-disciplinary pedagogic learning. Each SHOUT4HE partner identified three HE teachers as Core HE teachers (CHET). The CHETs were chosen to represent a range of different academic disciplines. Each partner also recruited a minimum of five Peripheral HE teachers (PHET). The PHETs were chosen as all demonstrated high quality technology-supported teaching practice within their university. Together with the project team, they all contributed a wide variety of subject and discipline knowledge and experience to the production of the Pedagogical Practice Videos (PPVs) and eBooks. The 45 PPVs are searchable by a range of filters and all outline: the context of the technology use; the educational approach; the degree of digital fluency involved; how the practice was developed; and its use as an OER. The eBooks The project involved integrated transnational meetings, multiplier events, a final conference, as well as data collection from other HE teachers to collaboratively recognize practices from other HE teachers. The underlying overall methodology for the implementation of the SHOUT4HE project was AGILE, with a series of development cycles to focus on continuous improvement in the development of each of the outputs. In addition, the development of the software of the e-platform was based on a design-based methodology with all partners contributing to reflect best practice in software design.The project Recognition Framework, 45 PPVs and 3 eBooks were widely disseminated and are all openly and freely available on the specially designed project e-Platform (https://library.shout4he.eu). They have high degree of relevance, are applicability across disciplines transnationally, and are designed to ensure they are easily adopted and thus have a longer-term impact in university teaching, professional development programmes, as well as on individual HE teachers for personal use in CPD.
