Event Details

Evening sessions with Siyavula at the Experilab, Bellville

Siyavula is hosting a series of evening events in the coming weeks and you are invited! These events will be taking place in the Northern Suburbs, and are a repeat of the events on Open Education Resources that we hosted last year. We aim to give you an exciting demonstration of the open resources available, the tools we have been experimenting with and the work of innovative educators elsewhere. We will provide snacks and drinks and the opportunity for you to connect informally with other professionals in your field.

 

Background

Siyavula is a Shuttleworth Foundation seeded project which supports the development of local curriculum-aligned Open Education Resources (OERs) and communities of educators sharing and collaborating. All our activities focus on the open sharing of educational resources (www.siyavula.org.za) and include a selection of free and open FET Science and Mathematics textbooks (www.fhsst.org), openly licensed GET learner workbooks, a rich library of on-line resources (http://siyavula.cnx.org/lenses/siyavulaand an open assessment bank called FullMarks (www.fullmarks.org.za), for the sharing and accessing of test and exam questions with answers.

 

List of sessions

The series of events comprises an opening session relevant to all educators, and 5 sessions aimed at specific learning areas. All educators are welcome to attend any session and we hope to see most educators at the opening as well as at their subject related session.

March 17th: Open Resources in Life Sciences (Northern Suburbs)

We put OERs and on-line tools in life sciences under the microscope. The rise of citizen science, public participation in research and specific OER resources are evaluated as learning tools. All life sciences educators are invited to join us for this presentation, chat to other educators over drinks and hopefully walk away with new ideas, examples and resources.
