Throughout the week, teams will have had several opportunities to apply concepts of open in teams and sharing in Acumulador. For the ‘Chopped Challenge’ teams will create their own open project using the ‘ingredients’ of tools, concepts and ideas shared this week.

‘Ingredients’

Your idea/project must include ‘ingredients’ that you discovered or learned this week:

Open pedagogy wheel elements
Other open pedagogy ideas/concenpts
Open technology tools/ideas/concepts
Open scholarship ideas/concepts (i.e. open data, visualization,
open research/publications)

Rules

You may not use an idea you have previously posted to Acumulador.
You may use another team’s idea from Acumulador and re-work it/expand on it/improve it.
You must use at least 5 ‘ingredients’ from the week.
You have to respect the time allocated – part of the chopped challenge is working with the time pressure!
Projects must be at least ‘Level 2’ – goal is ‘Level 3’
(Level 1 projects will have to be revised).
