OpenAIRE coffee break on the role of MOOCs in open science training
Reflections on the trends, strengths and weaknesses of MOOCs and the case study of NAU platform in Portugal
The OpenAIRE AMKE Training & Support Standing committee is organizing a new session of the OpenAIRE coffee break series. Please join us on November 21 at 10h30 CET to discuss on the following topic: "The role of MOOCs in Open Science training: reflections on the trends, strengths and weaknesses of MOOCs and the case study of NAU platform in Portugal.
Pedro Barbosa Cabral, the NAU platform at FCT-FCCN and e-Learning Consultant & Educational Designer and MOOC Specialist, will share his reflections on the trends, strengths and weaknesses of MOOCs in open science training and will talk about the case study of NAU platform in Portugal.

The Open Science Skills Curriculum: what does it look like at the institutional level?
The Open Science Skills Curriculum: what does it look like at the institutional level? This is a very practical question and we seek to find concrete answers that can be shared across countries and institutions. In particular, we focused on sharing information on:
- The topics covered by Open Science skills courses at the different stages of the researcher career (R1-R4)
- The learning objectives for these courses
- The means of delivery of these courses (online only, blended, face-to-face only, etc).
- The assessment of these courses (and any certification or accreditation).
A multitude of Open Science training courses are being delivered by institutions across Europe (and beyond) to researchers at different stages of their careers. Multiple agencies and groups described their much valuable work in reports and recommendations. However, basic information on curriculum specifics at the institutional level does not appear to be generally available.
It would be useful for those who are designing and updating these courses to be able to benchmark their offerings from the curriculum viewpoint, gaining an insight into the topics and levels of detail that are considered appropriate for doctoral students/early career researchers compared with more established researchers (for example), etc.
GDPR and training
How to organize GDPR compliant online events
The OpenAIRE Community of Practice for Training coordinators hosted this 1.5 hour-long webinar and collaborative writing sprint on organizing GDPR compliant online events.
Prodromos Tsiavos (Legal Adviser of "Athena" Research & Innovation Center and OpenAIRE) provided good practice advice and Walter Scholger (Zentrum für Informationsmodellierung, Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities, Universität Graz) talked about the Consent Form Wizard https://consent.dariah.eu/ followed by discussions on how to make sure that GDPR requirements are properly addressed and personal data is protected. It covered best practices for online event organisation, including pre- and post-event (registration, carrying out, evaluation, etc.). It also addressed the following aspects: how to inform correctly about a session recording and how to make the recordings available (e.g. with public chat messages, etc.), good practices on making collaborative documents (developed at online sessions) publicly available, issues to consider during large online events, how to optimize the online events workflows, whether national differences in Europe play a big role, etc. Plain language templates and checklists were discussed in breakout group writing sprints and will be shared with a wider training community.
The following good practice recommendations are being developed during the writing sprints:
- Before the event: Template/s: plain language wording for online registration forms (disclaimers, permissions, notice that consent could be withdrawn any time) and good practices for online events registration - e.g. a host organization manages registration on its website and has full control of data and a way to safely manage it, event access under password (not a direct link), etc. Moderator: Rene van Horik (DANS, EOSChub)
- During the event: Wording suggestions for recording announcements, disclaimers and permissions (e.g. what will be captured - video, webcam footage, audio, text chat messages and displayed username; inform participants on how to anonymize themselves - change names, blur video, etc; is the participant’s consent needed - in writing - accept and continue at registration or verbal expression is sufficient, etc.). Any other tips for running online events. Moderator: Ellen Leenarts (DANS, OpenAIRE)
- After the event: Template/plain language wording to deal with personal data in evaluation/feedback forms. GDPR friendly tools and checklists for making online session materials publicly available - recording, collaborative documents, etc. Checklists/workflows for keeping online events documentation, registration and recording: e.g. beware of not keeping backups with actual names and email addresses; anonymize before backing up and storing, secure storage (encrypted?), etc. Retention period: for how long the data could/should be kept and when it will be deleted, etc. Moderator: Iryna Kuchma (EIFL, OpenAIRE)
