Hello,
It would be great, if you can spread the news about the research, which has
just started. The final results will be presented in September, and I have
been invited to the Rountable as the representative of Wikipedia projects
and Wiki-education movement.
We invite you to take part in a *pan-European research* conducted by *Centrum
Cyfrowe Foundation* in partnership with *Europeana* and *EuroClio*. It is
addressed to *teachers, educators and librarians who use GLAM’s digital
resources in the education process*.
The research project will focus on studying teachers’ and educators'
motivation, ways of use and barriers regarding the usage of digital
educational educational tools & resources developed by GLAM institutions.
On behalf of Centrum Cyfrowe we invite you to fill up a short *questionnaire
<https://oeg.centrumcyfrowe.pl/index.php/336775/lang/en/newtest/Y>*. This
will not take more than 10 minutes. You can take part in the survey *till
the end of June 2022*.
More information about the research project can be found here
<https://centrumcyfrowe.pl/projekty/studyglameducation-pl/>.
All materials from the study will be published on a Centrum Cyfrowe website
as well as a pdf format and made *available under CC BY Licence* – so
everyone can copy, modify, distribute, communicate and make the publication
available to the public, even for commercial purposes, all without asking
permission.
The official presentation of the research will take place *in September
2022 during the Open Education Policy Forum*.
Z poważaniem / Sincerely
