Week One: What is the digital energy transition and why it is important?

Week one of the course is a remix and update of two existing Every1 courses What is the digital energy transition? (https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/view.php?id=11703) and Why digitalise energy? (https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/view.php?id=11864) both of which are licensed CC BY-SA 4.0, unless otherwise stated.  Adaptations to this course content include:

  • Combining and reordering content to create one week of the course.
  • Updating the text, e.g. adding in further information on COPs.
  • Adding in video content and activities etc. 

The Every1 course What is the digital energy transition? is an adaptation of selected material from the International Energy Association (IEA) Digitisation and Energy report (2017) (the ‘Original Work’) which is licensed CC BY 4.0. This adaptation is made and published by the Every1 Project (the ‘Adapter’) and licensed CC BY-SA 4.0, unless otherwise stated. This is a work derived by the Every1 project from IEA material and the Every1 project is solely liable and responsible for this derived work. The derived work is not endorsed by the IEA in any manner.  

The Adapter modified the Original Work in the following respects: 

  • Selected excerpts from the report were revised (e.g. examples added, reworded), reordered and reworked. 
  • New material (e.g. on the European Green Deal) was added.

Week Two: Supporting the Digital Energy Transition: Your Career

This week of the course is an adaptation of selected material from two sources. First, Cedefop (2023). Skills in Transition: The way to 2035 (https://www.cedefop.europa.eu/files/4213_en.pdf) which is licensed CC BY 4.0  (the ‘Original Work’). This adaptation is made and published by the Every1 Project (the ‘Adapter’) and licensed CC BY-SA 4.0, unless otherwise stated.  

The Adapter used/modified the Original Work in the following respects: 

  • Incorporating Box 4, What are the skills for the green transition? (p.46)
  • Text from throughout Chapter 3 Going stronger, going green(er): skills for EU’s green growth strategy including extracts from section 3.2 Green transition is also a skills transition and section 3.4 EU funding boosts to greening.
  • Text from the introduction to Chapter 4 Shifting gears in the digital transition.
  • Reproduction of the table on p.53 Table 1: Emerging skill needs in waste management, circular economy, agri-food sectors and smart and green cities (expert assessment).

Second, this week of the course also includes adaptations of selected material from the International Energy Association (IEA) (2024) blog post Power utilities need digital talent – but not all are searching for it(https://www.iea.org/commentaries/power-utilities-need-digital-talent-but-not-all-are-searching-for-it) (the ‘Original Work’) which is licensed CC BY 4.0 (https://www.iea.org/terms/creative-commons-cc-licenses).

Week Five: Working Together for a Better World

Week five of the course is a remix and update of the existing Every1 course Energy communities(https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/view.php?id=12502)

Energy communities is an adaptation of selected material from  Energy Communities (n.d) by the European Commission and In focus: Energy communities to transform the EU’s energy system (13 December 2022) by Directorate-General for Energy (the ‘Original Works’) both of which are licensed CC BY 4.0. This adaptation is made and published by the Every1 Project (the ‘Adapter’) and licensed CC BY-SA 4.0, unless otherwise stated.  

The Adapter modified the Original Work “Energy Communities” in the following respects: 

  • Selected excerpts from the article were used (e.g. REPowerEU text on municipality energy community targets, the introduction statement on the format of an energy community was added to What is an energy community?) and revised (e.g. energy community benefits text was reworked/reframed as community benefits in the associated course section).  

 The Adapter modified the Original Work “In focus: Energy communities to transform the EU’s energy system” in the following respects: 

  • Selected excerpts from the article were used (e.g. definition of energy community and, text from the EU legal framework section) and integrated into course. 
  • Selected excerpts from the article were revised and adapted (e.g. text from the sections Choosing an energy community model and What is an ‘energy community’?).  
  • Whole sections, including EU initiatives and Overcoming barriers to decentralise energy in the EU were used verbatim (or with minor amendment, e.g. the addition of dates).  

Week five of the course also incorporates adapted versions of:
