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

Dear All,
I am Sagun Shrestha, and I have joined as a research associate at the Institute of Educational Technology, the Open University, UK since Feb 01 to work on Extend(DT)2 project. At this point, we are working on our project website<https://extendt2.eu/> to make it resourceful and look better in presentation. As regards the ‘Team page’, <https://extendt2.eu/the-team/> the website now has PIs names. Could you please share the information (name and position) of who the members of each team in each institution are to be added to the ‘Team’ page on our website?
I am looking forward to receiving the details. Thanks!

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!

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

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.

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

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
Many thanks to everyone who attended the WP7 meeting earlier today.
Attached are brief meeting minutes. If anything needs to be changed/added,
please let me know.
The only action points are for the two people with the same initials, so
first names have been used. @Christina Gkreka <xristgreka(a)eds.uoa.gr> please
note there is an action point for you.
Have a lovely weekend
Carina
