Okada, A., Young, G. and Sherborne,T. (2015) Innovative Teaching of Responsible Research and Innovation in Science Education. Open Education Europa Journal – eLearning Papers V 44(1)
Short Abstract: This qualitative analysis focuses on the first year of ENGAGE HUB in the UK with 3,500 teachers and 18,000 materials downloaded. Findings indicate more than seventy strategies shared by teachers on how students are engaged through dilemma materials. Teachers’ examples present evidence that learning science concepts can be set within the context of its implications to society.

Short Abstract: This research reports on challenges and strategies to start a community of practice (CoP) for teacher’s professional development through open educational resources (OER) integrated to massive open online courses (MOOC). Preliminary outcomes based on qualitative data from ENGAGE platform and quantitative data from its users’ analytics indicate key strategies to integrate OER and MOOC to foster CoP, such as collaboration among participants to set up group identity and guidance for more interaction.

Researchers
Okada, A., Rossi, L.C. and Marino, A. (2015) Online argumentative maps for facilitating international debates with experts at large scale, EC-TEL The 10th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
Short Abstract: This exploratory study focused on the use of the online argumentation tool LiteMap used in the first international seminar on Responsible Research and Innovation and Science Education organised by the ENGAGE project with fifty experts from various fields. Preliminary findings show that argumentative mapping helped the community to visualise the debate later to reuse the content in different ways: new maps, open educational recourses and papers.

Okada, A., Wolff, A. and Mikroyannidis, A. (2015) Fostering young smart citizens through personal learning environments for urban inquiries, Workshop: Smart Learning Ecosystems in Smart Regions and Cities at EC-TEL The 10th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
Short Abstract: This work investigates two technologies weSPOT and nQuire for co-inquiry based learning. It also analyses pedagogical approaches of ENGAGE and MkSmart city projects for designing short inquiry activities integrated into the school’s curriculum. Our research question was how students use a PLE to interact and collaborate for creating scientific questions. This qualitative study focused on three urban inquiries developed by 27 secondary students (Y7) related to Responsible Research and Innovation: Electric Cars, Energy Consumption and Solar Panels. Findings indicate how students interact as co-investigators through online co- inquiry environments. This study indicates clear evidence on students’ progress on creating questions mediated by social PLE. The most relevant factors that support it are: easy-to-use PLE design, conceptual knowledge and pedagogical tools such as dilemma and interactive group work, which promoted students’ interest.
