NASA course in Open Science

Posted on by Jan Ainali

Earlier this year, I attended the NASA course “Open Science 101“. It was supposed to be given last year but was postponed due to technical reasons. At least it was given this year, but after completing the good course, there was some other technical (or perhaps US administrative?) challenges and it took some time before the badge could be issued. Finally it came through, and here it is, via Credly:

The course itself was really well made, and together with the course I took last year, I feel like I have a solid grasp of Open Science now.

Course in Climate Leadership in the Private Sector

Posted on by Jan Ainali

This winter, I finalized the trilogy of climate leadership courses at Uppsala University. The last part was the Climate Leadership in the Private Sector, 3 ECTS. This course was just as inspiring as the ones for public administrations and strategic transitions.

And this time in the assignment I managed to tie together my thoughts about openness and sustainability. I wrote about how Houdini Sportswear with all their experience in sustainability can become more than a role model and even reach the level of a public educator. In this spirit, I have also decided to publish my assignment publicly and get a DOI for it (as the university does not do this by default or offer that services optionally yet). It is available on Zenodo as DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15011039 (it is written in Swedish).

Course in Sustainable Knowledge Dissemination through OER and Open Science

Posted on by Jan Ainali

This summer I took a short course in Sustainable Knowledge Dissemination through OER and Open Science 2.0 ECTS credits, remotely at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The course was fully self-paced through an LMS. I have to admit, I mostly took the course to formalize the knowledge I had already acquired by being active in the open movement for a long while and through my work at Open By Default. The grades have now been reported to the central system, LADOK, and I passed!

While I perhaps didn’t learn so much for myself, I still recommend the course for anyone wanting to get the basics of Open Educational Resources and Open Science. Clear and concise information, and a plus for the self-pacing.
