Overview of Intervention
(1) Intervention Title
(2) Brief description of the intervention
(3) Cluster Identifier (letter)
(4)Level of intervention: Micro, meso, macro or research?
- Micro: intervention is focused on impacting creators and users. Associated keywords: Learning & Teaching, Guidance/Training/Mentoring, Customization/Reuse/Remix/Business & Sustainability Models
- Meso:Intervention focuses on the intermediaries, infrastructure and elements that help to link creators and end-users and contribute to building the systemic elements that facilitate the delivery, distribution and flow of OER materials. (Associated keywords: Accessibility, Tools & Technology, Search & Discoverability mechanisms, Quality Control, Accreditation, Feedback mechanisms)
- Macro:intervention addresses broader systemic issues such as policy and legal frameworks or behavioral and cultural aspects that shape the overall OER ecosystem. (Associated keywords: Supportive Policies, Copyright & Licensing, Community Building, Lobbying)
- Research: focus is on improving information and effort to understand the opportunities, challenges, impacts and efficacy of various OER strategies and mechanisms. (Associated keywords: Impact assessments, Evidence gathering and sharing, Case Studies)
