Project Updates
New preprint from FORRT & Ceres Jacobs collaboration! The paper focuses on what Open Science can mean for educational technology research, including challenges, opportunities, and call for further research. Well done to Madeleine Pownall, Sakshi Ghai, Luisa Fassi, and all other authors!
 
FORRT now has page where all FORRT contributors are formally recognized for their work. Check this out here, and see if all your contributions are properly credited.
 
FORRT is now pursuing legal status in Germany (in addition to the UK via Open Collective). If you would like to help us to establish a "Verein" in Germany, please contact Flavio Azevedo on Slack.
 
FORRT has been awarded grant by Invest in Open Infrastructure (IOI), for a project titled “Improving accessibility and usability of FORRT’s Open Educational Resources". 

If you have experience in user research, graphic/web design, and/or Hugo website development, we need your help! Please join the #team-website Slack channel.News from our partner organizations 
FORRT is joining forces with Metadocencia and Access 2 Perspectives to map open science organizations across the globe. We will soon open opportunities for collaborators. Watch this space!

Past events
FORRT member, Veronica Allen, was invited to the European Astronomical Society 2023 Annual Meeting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) session to discuss the Academic Wheel of Privilege. Well done Veronica for spreading FORRT's message! 

On Friday 22nd March, Open Life Science (OLS) and FORRT collaborated to host a workshop and survey investigating the intersection between big team science; diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility; and data science.

We presented FORRT, its mission, initiatives, and future projects at the Open Science Retreat (25th to 29th of March).
The Replications and Reversals team also presented twice at the Center for Open Science (COS) Conference. Well done to Lukas Wallrich, Lukas Röseler, and Helena Hartmann!Funding FORRT
We are currently raising funds with the aim to accelerate FORRT's impact and ensure its sustainability as a volunteer organisation. The more we raise, the more we can sustainably run our community. All donations large and small welcome!

We are also seeking broader funding to support this work. If you know of a funding opportunity which might be relevant to FORRT, please contact Bethan Iley on Slack or via email (bethan@we-are-ols.org).

My key takeaways were that people want qualitative perspectives reflected in the TOP Factor guidelines, etc., and we need reflect on the "why" of various open science practices. As I said in the meeting, I hope that this paper helps to start/continue these conversations. It's not the end-all-be-all!

FORRT's October newsletter is now out! 🥳🎉 We update on the latest news, with sections on: 🌟Newsletter highlights 🔦Featured FORRT resources 💡Project updates 🤝Events & meetings Newsletter here: mailchi.mp/995aa834d3ea... Subscribe here to receive the next one: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Newsletter highlights

FORRT members Madeleine Pownall, Luisa Fassi, and Sakshi Ghai were recently at the University of California to facilitate workshops on open research and record training videos for CERES.
 
FORRT were invited by Dr Amy Orben to continue the work we started last year on developing open science skills in the cohort of CERES scholars, who are early-career researchers in Educational Technology Research. FORRT also facilitated a workshop on open science terminology in EdTech, inspired directly by the FORRT glossary!
 
The team recorded training videos on: 
Questionable research practices
Diversity in Big Team Science
Positionality and reflexivityFeatured Resources
 
FORRT Team Pedagogies just released a new Pedagogies with The Collaborative Replication and Education Project (CREP). We talked to Prof. Dr. Jordan Wagge, who shared with us her experience with CREP in conducting replications with students.

This Pedagogies feels extra special because it also includes the perspectives of two students on learning about Open Scholarship with CREP.

Check out the full interview with Prof. Dr. Jordan Wagge and her students Jasmine Beltran and Amy Hernandez along with links to all of CREP's open resources and materials here. 

If you have suggestions of scholars and educators who are doing an outstanding work in integrating Open Scholarship into their teaching and mentoring, please nominate them for a future FORRT's Pedagogies here.Project Updates

Reversals website update
The Reversals team have recently completed a big update of their website to list even more effects! Under each effect, you can find the summarised evidence on whether the effect has been found to replicate or not. 
You can still contribute to this resource by adding effects from your discipline. To contribute to this resource, join the Reversals Slack channel.
 
Outreach looking for new members 
Team Outreach is looking for members to help with all aspects science communication, such as our newsletter, social media accounts, and designing infographics to showcase FORRT's message.
Outreach is also looking for someone with experience in LaTeX, or someone who wants to improve their skills in LaTeX, to help us update the official FORRT CV.
