Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it
These Guidelines cover Action Area 4 of the Recommendation: nurturing the creation of sustainability models for DER. They provide: a description/overview of the recommendations; an introduction to the specificities addressed in the implementation of Action Area 4; a matrix of actions recommended for governments and institutions to implement each point of Action Area 4; a discussion on the specificities related to Action Area 4; and examples of good practice (from different regions and contexts) in the implementation of Action Area 4. The Guidelines offer advice on how to operationalize Action Area 4 of the Recommendation. They are not prescriptive, but aim to offer suggestions for activities, as well as background on the specificities for the Action Area. Users are encouraged to contextualize the elements of these Guidelines as appropriate for their specific national and institutional contexts.

This survey was adapted from a North American Faculty OER Survey Toolkit for use in the Irish Higher Education context. It was used across the DOERs project partner sites to audit staff Open Educational Resources and Open Educational Practices awareness and practices. We encourage other institutions to adapt this tool to meet their needs.
Two modules are available on this page one for educators and one for mentors to learn how to engage in mentoring sessions with students. The page also has access to the Community Mentoring Handbook (for mentors), Mentee Toolkit (for second-level students taking part in sessions) and the Adult Ed Handbook(for adult learners taking part in sessions).
This document provides a summary of the book “MÉTODO DE LOS RELOJES. GRAMÁTICA DESCRIPTIVA DEL ESPAÑOL” authored by Manuel Perez Saiz, which serves as the foundation for the UCC Spanish grammar course.
This Toolkit was created by students at University College Dublin, for students, to break down sustainability in a way that’s simple and easy to understand. Climate change is something that affects all of us—no matter what you’re studying, where you’re from, or what you do. It’s here, and it’s impacting our world—but many of us aren’t sure what we can do about it.
The purpose of this toolkit is a starting point for what students need to learn about living more sustainably on and off campus. We hope it’ll inspire students to take small steps that make a big impact, and they can do it all at their own pace. You can access the Moodle page to view the Toolkit. There are also Zip files of the SCORM packages used to create the Toolkit (Part 1 and Part 2) that can be downloaded and imported into a Virtual Learning Environment.
• Part 1: Climate Change → Watch short Youtube videos followed by a little quiz to brush up on your sustainability knowledge.
• Part 2: What Can You Do? → Find tips and tricks to incorporate sustainability into your day-to-day life, this is a resource tool to help you get started!
