Piloting An Evaluation Framework for Accessible STEM OER: A Preliminary Questionnaire |
Thank you for your interest in participating in an upcoming project to pilot test an Evaluation Framework for Accessible STEM OER. The framework was developed by the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management (ISKME) and the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) at Carleton College.
About the Pilot
For the pilot, we hope to learn from a small group of STEM faculty as they apply the framework to OER they have authored (or are in the process of authoring). Faculty will receive $175 as an honorarium for their participation, which will include attendance at two webinars and an assignment to evaluate STEM OER using the framework. The 4-week pilot project will start in early March 2021.
About this Questionnaire
Please take 2-3 minutes to complete this questionnaire to introduce yourself and capture your prior experiences with OER and with integrating guidelines for accessibility into your STEM courses/work. Your information will not be shared, and will only be used to determine eligibility for the pilot project. Please complete the questionnaire by March 1, 2021.
If you have any questions, contact Cynthia Jimes, ISKME Director of Research and Learning at cynthia@iskme.org.
