What’s of interest? Projekt ‘Open Education Resources with Ukraine’ - TIB AV-Portal

Tell me more!


The projects “Open Education Resources with Ukraine” and “Open Educational Resources with Ukraine_Infomatics”, funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) aims to support Ukrainian partner universities of Leibniz University Hannover in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv and Lviv in times of crisis and assist them in maintaining, further developing and digitalising teaching courses in the subject areas of biomedical engineering, biology, materials science, computer science and information technology. These courses are being produced under Creative Commons (CC-BY) licences and anchored in the ongoing teaching activities of the respective partner universities. They are subtitled in English and Ukrainian and published on the TIB AV-Portal – the German national portal for scientific videos of the Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and University Library. The teaching/learning videos receive a DOI, are permanently stored and provided with semantic data and standardized metadata, which flow into the OER search index via open interfaces. Thus, they are accessible, citable, easy to find and free to use. In such a way, the project contributes to the internationalisation, digitalisation and openness of education and gives the teachers and students new possibilities.

This is one among many items I will regularly tag in Pinboard as oegconnect, and automatically post tagged as #OEGConnect to Mastodon. Do you know of something else we should share like this? Just reply below and we will check it out.

Interesting to note the use of DOI on these resources. I haven’t noticed this before on OER, are there other precedents people are aware of? I would imagine it makes our OER repositories happier!

I’m pretty sure I have seen content we’d describe as OER published through https://zenodo.org/ which generates a DOI.

Also thinking of the National Teaching Repository based in the UK and winners of a 2023 OE Award for Collaboration where I believe all submissions get a DOI.

Here, look at Build Your Blood activity (CC BY)

The NTR provides a cut and paste citation with a DOI

And speaking of awards, someone can be my best friend and nominating Projekt ‘Open Education Resources with Ukraine’ - TIB AV-Portal for this year!

Its absolutely worthy, and I bet could be done in about 15 minutes from the information provided.

One of the best ways to be a member of the larger open education community is to take a little time to spread some acknowledgement to the work of others. Do not just look at the OEAwards as something to get yourself, but how more magnificent it is to spread it to someone else who is not expecting it.

Oops I went on a soapbox. But we are counting down the days of the nomination period, and I urge everyone here, all 1900 of you, to imagine what would happen if each of you added a nomination to someone else.

Start here plant a seed for someone else.
