Hi all! I am Viviane Vladimirschi from São Paulo, Brazil. I am a doctoral candidate at Athabasca University, Alberta, Canada. My research study is geared towards undertaking an intervention in a Brazilian K-12 public school to plan, design, and implement a pilot blended-learning OER Development Course (ODC) for the teachers who participate in the study, and measure its effectiveness in terms of awareness-raising strategies, content taught, and instructional approaches utilized so as to extract OER learning design principles. Brazil really needs to get on board with open education as it holds the potential to fill the gap of a deficient public school system and promote access to knowledge to more citizens. I look very much forward to sharing, learning and collaboratively working with this rich intercultural open community. I am particularly interested in models for TPD in OER and models or frameworks (pedagogical) for OER. I am familiar with Hegarty’s model already.
