to Adapting Methods to E-Learning i need Tools : 

after  i have a clear idea what the activity achieves consider what e-learning tools are available to me that are rough equivalents. For example, if i use a flip chart i could use an online collaborative whiteboard or a Wiki, if do a brainstorm activity you could use a word cloud on Mentimeter, if i do group work i could use Zoom’s breakout rooms or have a forum function. 

Open Science Role Play

1. Ask my participants to get into groups of 3 or 4.

2. One person in each group plays the role of the “bad guy”, someone who hates Open Science and wants to prevent it becoming the norm at all costs. The other 2 or 3 participants must try and persuade the “bad guy” of the positives of Open Science.

3. Encourage participants to have fun with this activity and be a bit melodramatic!

4. I can ask the groups to swap who is the “bad guy” after 10 mins if time allows.

5/ I can create scenarios or share them (on Zoom), read them out loud with all the participants, and then answer the participants’ questions with their voluntary ideas. Alternatively, I could divide participants into 3 groups, each group answering questions from one of the scenarios and then presenting the scenario and their answers to the entire workshop when they have finished (give the groups 10-15 minutes to read the scenario, and a similar amount of time each to present it).

6. Send scenario questions in the post-training packet

Individual Action Plans:

1. i will Give each participant a piece of card or paper.

2. On it ask them to write their Open Science goals in: one week, one month, and one year.

3. Ask some participants to volunteer to read their goals to the workshop group when everyone is finished (often everyone will end up reading their cards so allow time for this).

4. Take a photo of all the cards and include the photo in the post-training pack.

5. i can do this online by asking participants to write it via Mentimeter at the end of a webinar or by using a 'future self e-mail' programme in an e-learning course e.g. (https://www.futureme.org/letters/new)

6. Alternatively, I could create a hashtag on Twitter e.g. #OSgoals and get input that way, but  bare  my  mind that not everyone uses social media so this might exclude some participants , so i will try solve this point with them .

Brain walking

1. Share a whiteboard with participants. I call them open data, open access, and scholarly communication

2. Give participants time and ask them to go to each flipchart and write down a topic, idea, tool or concept that they associate with these terms. They should try to still  silent and not talk to each other while they do this.

3. Participants must keep rotating and adding more until the papers are full of writing.

4/ Review what is written on each piece of paper and ask the participants if there is anything that is not clear.

5. Take a photo of each sheet and send it to the participants Post training package.

6. i can of course switch Open Science titles to suit my training best; But i should remember to use comprehensive terms to which many specific ideas can be linked, for example: Gender equality, open source, knowledge transfer.
