Recognising scholars' OE initiatives

Hello,

Recently, UNESCO has issued guidelines with regard to the 5 areas of its 2019 OER recommendation (see below).

My question is: do you have concrete examples in your higher education institution where Open Education practices are valorised in career development? For example, engaging in an authentic project with students with an output in the form of renewable assignement, like a wiki page on a topic of interest, has the “same weight” in the scholars’ internal evaluation process as the publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal?

This falls into Action Area 2, Action (c), developing mechanisms to create communities of practice, promote teacher professional development using OER, create networks of experts of OER and properly recognize OER creation as a professional or academic merit.

Looking forward to reading how recognition of OE practices are currently living in your respective institutions,
Best,
Barbara
