Dear colleagues, the following CFP might be of interest for you. Apologies for cross posting. "Engaging with Open Science in Learning and Teaching" A special Issue of "Education for Information : https://www.iospress.nl/journal/education-for-information/<https://www.iospress.nl/journal/education-for-information/> Technology has impacted almost all aspects of our lives today, and education is no exception. Technology enhanced learning and teaching (TELT) has changed the way universities, in general, and learning and teaching specifically, operate today. The increasing adoption of TELT coupled with emerging philosophies of openness have brought additional opportunities and challenges to learning and teaching around the world. Openness is an overarching concept or philosophy that is characterized by an emphasis on transparency<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_%28behavior%29> and free, unrestricted access to knowledge and information<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_information>, as well as collaborative or cooperative management and decision-making<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_decision-making> rather than a central authority<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authority> (Peters, 2014)<https://archive.fo/20140501132743/http:/eepat.net/doku.php?id=open_educatio…>. This new philosophy has encouraged the development of an open culture that is reaching scales never imagined before. Today, many stakeholders in education, such as governments, researchers, educators and students, have engaged in developing open initiatives, including open policies, open content, open education, open source software and so forth. Educators and learners have access to a large volume of open resources. Researchers have also benefited from having access to large volumes of data available in open access repositories all over the world - data that was previously held by only a few, now can reach anyone interested in manipulating them and thus making new discoveries not only in science, medicine, but also in learning and teaching. One important element of openness is open science, which is the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_research>, campaigning for open access<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access>, encouraging scientists to practice open notebook science<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_notebook_science>, and generally making it easier to publish and communicate scientific knowledge (Wikipedia, 2018<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science>). Although open science is frequently seen as related to research, its philosophical foundations and dilemmas are very similar to other aspects of openness closely associated to learning and teaching, such as open education (Schuwer, 2017)<http://robertschuwer.nl/blog/?p=1498>. However, recent developments and studies have realised the potential of open science to enhance many aspects of learning and teaching (some examples are Open Data as OER, Study on Open Science<https://ec.europa.eu/research/innovation-union/pdf/expert-groups/rise/study…>, Open access scholarly publications as OER<http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/1531>, Open science, open access and open educational resources: Challenges and opportunities<https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7160399/>, Data in Education<https://www.ands.org.au/working-with-data/publishing-and-reusing-data/data-…>, Open Data in Schools<https://www.europeandataportal.eu/en/highlights/open-data-schools>. Despite the examples above, the application of open science in learning and teaching is still very limited. In addition, most of the work conducted in open science is focused on data, infrastructure and publications rather than practices. This the main rational for this call for contributions to a Special Issue on Engaging with Open Science in Learning and Teaching. In this Special Issue we call for contributions that explore and discuss the impact of open science on learning and teaching, including new pedagogical approaches, strategies and policies, capacity building, and what opportunities and challenges it brings for educators, students and learning institutions. We invite papers from the Information and Communication Disciplines (ICDs) and beyond, from diverse educational systems, including higher education, schools and technical vocational education and training (TVET). Submissions will be double-blind peer reviewed and can include literature discussion and analysis, conceptual and empirical papers, case studies, quantitative and qualitative research, related to the following topics. Topics include, but are not restricted to: * Philosophical and theoretical approaches to openness and open science in teaching and learning * Students' perspectives on and students' roles in open science * Ethics and practicalities of open science in educational systems, including higher education, schools and TVET * Examples of implementation of open science in learning and teaching within ICD disciplines, and beyond. * The impact of openness and/or open science in curriculum design and development * Policies and the politics of open science in education * Open science and the scholarship of learning and teaching * Assessing learning supported by openness and open science * Perspectives and theories on student learning through open science * Capacity building for open science in education The special issue will be free of charge. It is co-edited by Tamara Heck (Information Centre for Education, DIPF Frankfurt - German Institute for International Educational Research) and Carina Bossu (Tasmanian Institute of Learning and Teaching, University of Tasmania). Questions, comments and inquiries can be directed to either heck(a)dipf.de<mailto:heck@dipf.de> or carina.bossu(a)utas.edu.au<mailto:carina.bossu@utas.edu.au> Style guidelines for Education for Information are available here: http://www.iospress.nl/journal/education-for-information/?tab=submission-of… Submissions are due Dec 15th 2018. They can be submitted via the journal's submission system: https://mstracker.com/submit1_dev.php?jc2=efi&SubmitType=N. Please state in the cover letter that your submission is a contribution to the Special Issue on Engaging with Open Science in Learning and Teaching. Submissions will be double-blind peer-reviewed. Founded in 1983, Education for information (EFI) is a quarterly refereed academic journal publishing research articles on issues related to the teaching and learning of information scientists and professionals for an information society. EFI welcomes a broad perspective on issues related to pedagogy and learning in the information and communication disciplines (ICD) such as Library and Information Science, Communication and Media studies, Journalism, Archival studies, Museum studies, Psychology, Cognitive science and Digital Humanities. ________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/EducationforIn1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/educationforinformation/ Subscribe to the newsletter: http://madmimi.com/signups/290d73e84d1f4b8badb5030a3d10e86d/join _____________________________________________ Dr. Tamara Heck Informationszentrum Bildung DIPF Frankfurt (Deutsches Institut für Internationale Pädagogische Forschung) Schloßstraße 29, 60486 Frankfurt am Main Fon: +49 (0)69 24708 305 heck(a)dipf.de<mailto:heck@dipf.de>, www.dipf.de<http://www.dipf.de/>

Internationales GO FAIR-Büro eröffnet: Open Science-Projekte erhalten Unterstützung aus Hamburg, Leiden und Paris Der Ruf nach Forschungsdaten, die leicht aufzufinden sind und zur Nachnutzung zur Verfügung stehen, wird immer lauter. Nicht nur Forschungsförderer achten zunehmend auf die Nachnutzbarkeit von Forschungsdaten. Auch wissenschaftliche Communities und Forschungsinfrastrukturen stoßen immer häufiger Projekte an, die darauf abzielen, Forschungsobjekte auffindbar, zugänglich, interoperabel und wiederverwendbar zu machen. Zwischen den einzelnen Projekten herrscht großes Synergiepotential. Dieses bleibt jedoch in der aktuellen hochdynamischen Entwicklungsphase häufig unausgeschöpft. Hier setzt die Initiative GO FAIR an. GO FAIR bietet einen Knotenpunkt für Personen, Projekte oder Organisationen, die sich für einen erleichterten Zugang zu Forschungsdaten engagieren. Koordination und Unterstützung liefert dabei das internationale GO FAIR-Büro an den Standorten Hamburg (Deutschland), Leiden (Niederlande) und Paris (Frankreich). Am Hamburger Standort ist das Büro an der ZBW - Leibniz-Informationszentrum Wirtschaft angesiedelt. Hier betreuen drei Mitarbeiterinnen die Mitwirkenden: Monika Linne (Referentin national), Ines Drefs (Referentin international) und Katharina Kriegel (Mitarbeiterin Öffentlichkeitsarbeit). Ziel von GO FAIR ist es, mittels eines Bottom-up-Ansatzes einen Beitrag zur Umsetzung der auf europäischer Ebene geplanten "European Open Science Cloud" (EOSC) zu leisten. FAIR steht in diesem Kontext für Forschungsobjekte, die "findable", "accessible", "interoperable" und "reusable" sind. Zur Umsetzung der FAIR-Prinzipien und als Wegbereitung für die European Open Science Cloud bauen wir zurzeit ein Netzwerk aus länder- und disziplinübergreifenden Implementierungsprojekten auf, so dass Synergien geschaffen und redundante Arbeiten vermieden werden. Im Mai 2017 traf das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Wissenschaft (BMBF) mit den Wissenschaftsministerien der Niederlande und Frankreichs eine Vereinbarung, die Entwicklung der European Open Science Cloud voranzutreiben und die Initiative GO FAIR zu fördern. Bei Interesse an weiteren Informationen oder einer Mitwirkung an GO FAIR steht Ihnen das GO FAIR-Team in Hamburg gerne zur Verfügung!
