Inspired by code sprints[1] from the open source software development world, the goal of an open design sprint is to design and develop an OER learning pathway from scratch in a very short time frame, usually one or two days.
Participants will learn from each other with the support of experienced OER developers and the UNESCO/COL/ICDE Chair in OER at Otago Polytechnic and the OER Foundation. The focus is not on instruction, but rather to create and publish a working learning pathway which you can use in your own own teaching. The emphasis is on cooperation and implementation of open design approaches. The DS4OER design sprint is a face-to-face experience to augment the OERu's Digital Skills for Collaborative OER Development (DS4OER) open course.
