Thank you for your contribution Thomas! It reminded me of an idea I have
had for a while about what OK Nordics easily can do. I have mentioned it
earlier to some but not on lists. It goes close in line with Thomas
suggestion and that is School of Data for the Nordics with specific
target groups. It is a concrete and dynamic project example. I think I
mentioned in my earlier e-mail as it is also applicable to giving
courses online & through adult educational centers in Sweden.
There's actually right now a perfect project funding opportunity for it
from IIS (https://iis.se) in Sweden. We can (and hopefully will) apply
at Internetfonden (http://internetfonden.se/) for this suggestion
Thomas' wrote. It would be great to have all of OK Nordics on board
supporting & committing. Why? Because we can gain chances of getting
economic support. And if we do the main work or collaborate around it,
we can localise it easily throughout or after the project.
It is the perfect timing in this funding opportunity because it has an
OER focus
(https://www.internetfonden.se/om/oppna-digitala-larresurser/). If we
get the project support and create a great course then it can also make
it into IIS' course material used in Webbstjärnan (The Web Star).
Webbstjärnan is their educational offer for schools. It promotes schools
and their teachers and pupils who embrace the open Internet to the best
extent. School of Data with Open Data course material would go hand in
glove with that. Would this be an interesting thing to apply for,
collaborate around but also bring to the workshop meeting? I definitely
think so. Let's arrange a call about it @Miska, @Thomas and whomever
wants to join (looking at you OK Iceland, Norway & Denmark! :)
Best,
Mattias
