Dear All
If you are planning to attend the meetings in April in the UK then this is a kind request on behalf of the organisers at OU to check the spreadsheet and make sure all info is up-to-date.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D6qYEURrVl5JDqoW6OCg2fWBM-cHCZHVngk…
In particular make sure it is clear whether you are attending on-line or physically, and if attending physically whether you have any dietary requirements.
Check also that an email address has at least has been provided for you as contact info. This so the organisers from OU can contact you directly if they should require any further information from you OR if they wish to provide information directly to us (eg links for those attending virtually)
@PIs of each organisation – please double check for all attending from your organisation
Please do this by lunchtime tomorrow, Friday 8th March
Thank you for your cooperation

Dear all,
Sorry for cross-sending this. It seems I am not an OMT list member; my message sent to the OMT mail list failed to be delivered.

This is a reminder that we will need you to fill in the feedback template for the "guidelines and framework" by next Tuesday (5 March).
We asked for this at the OMT meeting in December with a deadline at the end of January, but it was not as urgent as other tasks. However, we will report it in the technical report and then we will possibly need to present some findings in the upcoming review meeting.
You can find this template and a readme file (with instructions) in our shared Google folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ue1bgsL0Oyu9ALzmtU6yvqmmVQ4PA6Mz
In the same folder, there is a questionnaire for the framework, we plan to try and get some responses from networks, before the mid-term review, but it is not urgent for you to take action now.
In March, we will create a link for each partner to use and collect responses from teachers, educational researchers, policy makers etc. (either in English or translated in your language if you want to).
Thank you very much.
Looking forward to receiving your input.

Dear all,
We have now produced a first version of the online course that will be hosted on the Open Learn Create platform of the OU.
We will share this with the OU production team on Friday to check it and transfer it to the platform i.e., create a first online/interactive version of the course.
Could you pls share any early feedback by Thursday this week? The structure follows the workshop slides we created for teachers.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nhcAZNREN1-fAPOQeCV7dRHCn9WetYbR/edit
There will be opportunities for further feedback when we have the first online version available.
Best,
Thea

Dear All
I have informed our PO that after a first informal check with our consortium no conflicts of interest were noted for either Markus Vincze or Davinia Hernández-Leo as being the expert reviewers for our M18 review.
Thea, her team, and Manolis are now planning preparatory information for the two-day physical meeting meeting (17-18 April in Milton Keynes/OU) and the one-day M18 review (19 April at UCL/London).
* This will provide info on logistics, transport and hotel recommendation when they are have had time to look into this.
* As soon as this information is available we will let you know, so please be patient until then!
If you are planning to attend, do please start populating this participants list<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D6qYEURrVl5JDqoW6OCg2fWBM-cHCZHVngk…> before the end of next Friday, so we have an idea of numbers.
NB: WP leaders and one or two key people from each WP are expected to participate in the M18 review on Friday 19 April.
* Our PO encourages other team members from each organisations to stay and participate as observers if they wish, as this will be a good learning experience
Best wishes to everyone for the weekend.
