WP7 School intervention evaluation documents and ethical approval.

by Carina Girvan

Dear all Following on from the WP7 meeting last week, I have developed a series of data collection instruments and protocols for the school interventions, which are stored in a folder <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YzuyDATghL1RnkyQxPchAWeU6WTVu1QP?us…>in WP7. This includes all the information you should need to apply for ethical approval, such as sample informed consent/assent documents, overarching evaluation protocol (data preparation and analysis to come), surveys, interviews, teacher reflective diary and documents detailing the protocol for each form of data collection. All partners involved in interventions this year should review the documents, add comments and make suggested edits *by 6th March. *I am also happy to receive any direct email queries. Please complete this Doodle <https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dLZkGMra>by *1st March *to arrange a review meeting to further discuss data collection. Please ensure at least one member of your team, involved in the interventions, professional development or co-design workshops completes the Doodle. Unfortunately due to other responsibilities I am unable to arrange a meeting prior to the 7th March and the 10th is the OMT. Any partner waiting to apply for ethical review can use all of the documents in their current state as amendments will only be minor - aka no new data collection instruments and no new lines of questioning. If you have any specific questions about ethics I would be happy to help, so please get in touch directly. Hope you have a lovely weekend. All the best, Carina

Answers to queries on deliverables from our PO

by Shamim Patel

Dear All Marcelo and I had a meeting with Angel, our PO, this afternoon and checked with him your queries on deliverables: 1. It is OK to shift D1.2 Initial Data Management Plan from M6 to M8. 1. When does a deliverable become public?: * A deliverable will only become publicly available on EU websites when formally approved by the PO. * Some POs formally approve the deliverables themselves, others prefer to leave the formal approval until the reviewers at the periodic reporting stage have reviewed them too. * Any EU partner can log in and check on the portal to see the status of their deliverable, including whether it has been approved: <Log in>Click on <ExtenD.T.2 Project: Actions><Manage Projects><Continuous Reporting><Deliverables> * There are no fixed rules on when we ourselves can disseminate/publish our public deliverables e.g., on our extendt2 website after they have been submitted. * Angel does not see an issue if we decide ourselves whenever to do this. * However, Angel asked that we inform him, if we would like any deliverables to be formally approved by him on the portal, to alleviate any doubt. * He will usually, unless he is absent, review (and approve (or not)) our deliverables usually within a day or two of request. 1. What is the procedure if a deliverable is submitted/uploaded on time and then we wish to replace it in the next week or two with a higher quality version or a small adjustment to a table etc. * Angle was not sure. We MAY be able to resubmit IF he has not approved or rejected the deliverable. * However, he prefers that he be contacted, as he does see an issue of us replacing a deliverable in such circumstances. He can reject the deliverable from his side then and allow us to resubmit/upload a new version without issue. Best regards to you all for the w/e! Shamim

One-page leaflet with the 3 Technolgies

by Marianthi Grizioti

Dear all, As we discussed in previous meetings, we have created a one-page document that summarizes the functionalities and the added value of the 3 existing authoring tools (ChoiCo, MaLT2 and SorBET). It was designed to address mainly teachers and educators, but also other people who want to have a first idea of the project technologies. We tried to make it more attractive than a simple text document Feel free to distribute it to teachers that will design and implement interventions (WP3), teachers in professional development (WP6) or any other interested stakeholder. I will also upload it in the drive in WP4 folder (technologies) Best wishes, Marianthi Marianthi Grizioti (PhD) Post-doc researcher & software developer *Educational Technology Lab (ETL) <http://etl.eds.uoa.gr/> * *Department of Educational Studies* *National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece* Research Gate <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marianthi_Grizioti> | Academia <https://en-uoa-gr.academia.edu/MarianthiGrizioti>| LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianthi-grizioti-b0394038/>

Dear all, Our submission was accepted as a poster (see comments at the end of this email). @Chronis Kynigos<mailto:kynigos@eds.uoa.gr> would you be able to join the conference and present? Best, Thea From: info(a)earli.org <info(a)earli.org> Date: Monday, 20 February 2023 at 09:14 To: Christothea.Herodotou [She/Her] <christothea.herodotou(a)open.ac.uk> Subject: Your EARLI 2023 review result CAUTION: This mail comes from outside the University. Please consider this before opening attachments, clicking links, or acting on the content. [https://www.earli-eapril.org/uploads/summernote/d46fe2cad3991a286ac19eb2f00…] Please read this message carefully as it contains important information about EARLI 2023. --- Dear Dr Herodotou, Congratulations! Your Single Paper "Extending Design Thinking with Digital Technologies" has been accepted for presentation at EARLI 2023 in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece as Poster Presentation. More details about the review process can be found at http://earli.org/events/EARLI2023. The status of your proposal can be found in your user dashboard. Best wishes, EARLI 2023 Organising Committee EARLI 2023 http://earli.org/events/EARLI2023 ___ score: 50.00 / comment: This proposal should be presented as a poster. It's a nice and interesting project, yet, still in the starting phase. There are no results or conclusions that can be mentioned in this stage. Therefor, the advice is to present it as a poster. score: 80.00 / comment: The paper proposes a DBR into the possible use of emerging technologies at schools. The design is well described and the expected contributions would benefit the field. score: 50.00 / comment: The proposal is very difficult to understand. I suspect it is not written by colleagues comming from the education world, but rather from the technical/bussiness world. Since it talks about expected findings, it should be -if at all- presented as a poster, or perhaps a workshop total score: 60.000000 For more detailed review results, please consult your user dashboard in your account. Best wishes, EARLI Office Peterseliegang 1 box 1 3000 Leuven (BELGIUM) info(a)earli.org<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmandrilla…> BE0806.313.092

Sister Projects_Collaborative Platform (please reply asap)

by Shamim Patel

Dear All We are working to set up a shared collaborative platform with our other sister projects. The intention is not to overload this, or create extra work for us - but to have somewhere accessible for those in our projects for whom this could be a useful collaborative tool (e.g. the main leads who work with Project Management, Dissemination and Exploitation, and Ethics). We have discovered that Google is not allowed for at least one of the Coordinating partner leads. Can one person from each partner reply to me asap and let me know if MS onedrive (and/or TEAMS) would work for you/your organisation as the shared platform. Best, Shamim
