UNESCO OER Recommendation Action Area Explainer Videos

The UNESCO OER Recommendation is a fairly dense document organized into five action areas each with their own set of recommendations. OEGlobal put out a call for help creating short videos to explain each of the five action areas and their importance to open education.

In response, Paola Corti coordinated with female colleagues who are all working on an ERASMUS + project called The Fostering Women to STEM MOOCs (FOSTWOM) to record a video for Recommendation Action Area 1 - Building Capacity.

Video participants include:

  • Paola Corti, Project Manager at METID Politecnico di Milano, Italy
  • Valeria Baudo, Project Manager at METID Politecnico di Milano, Italy
  • Ana Moura Santos, Faculty member of the Department of Mathematics, Técnico de Lisboa, University of Lisbon, Portugal
  • Charlotta Nilsson, Teacher, KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden
  • Virginia Vega Carerro, Professor at the Faculty of Business Administration and Management at the Universitat Politècnica de València Spain
  • Astrid Rosso, Igénieure pédagogique et Conservatoire national des arts et métiers, Paris, France

FOSTWOM is using the inclusive potential of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to propose STEM subjects free of stereotyping assumptions on gender abilities. The consortium is interested in attracting girls and raise the number of young women that pursue careers in science and technology. gender-balanced STEM MOOCs.

This wonderful explainer video in multiple languages serves as a model for what we hope will be other explainer videos for the remaining four OER Recommendation action areas.

We invite all of you in the global open education community to help create these videos.

How do you do this? Simply :arrow_heading_up: reply to this post expressing interest and specifying which action area you want to address. We will be in touch, and will coordinate the creation of videos, modelled on the one Paola and her colleagues produced.

Here are general guidelines for shooting the video.
