This document discusses open science practices within technology enhanced learning (TEL) research, specifically the practices of the TIDE_UPF research group. It outlines their open access publishing, open data sharing on platforms like GitHub and Zenodo, community curation efforts, and pre-registration practices. It also describes their Integrated Learning Design Environment (ILDE) platform, which makes available research outcomes to the broader community. The document emphasizes opening research to increase impact, technology transfer, ask more relevant questions, and gather data, while discussing the need to go beyond consent forms to better inform participants of data sharing risks.

TIDE UPF, Barcelona: some Open Science actions
● Green Open Access (e.g., https://repositori.upf.edu/handle/10230/33322 )
● https://www.upf.edu/web/tide/software-datasets
○ Open source (Github)
○ Open data (Zenodo) (with meta-data, quantitative data and subsets of qualitative data,
sometimes with supplementary material to papers related to study design)
(some with data sharing agreements)
● https://www.upf.edu/web/tide/community
○ TIDE curates the "Educational Data Analytics Community" in Zenodo:
http://zenodo.org/communities/edudata/
● Seeking reproducibility and pre-registration por peer-review (http://aspredicted.org/blind.php?x=3e8jp9)

7. Open Science, the case of the TIDE_UPF research group
● SaaS platform where we integrate research work (mainly internal, but also external)
● GitHub, open source license, API documentation, ILDE Debug environment
● Collection of SaaS installations
○ Collaboration with other research centers/universities, schools, ONGs, companies
○ User engagement
● Why?
○ Open science, research impact
○ Direct tech transfer / social impact
○ More relevant and responsible research questions
○ Data gathering
Research community and society perspective
ILDE, functional environment where we make available (most of) our research outcomes

research: informing participants in data sharing risks. British Journal of Educational Technology,
50(3), 1019-1034, https://doi.org/10.1111/bjet.12781
● Use of consent forms sufficient?
● Conceptualizations of data sharing risks and knowledge of responsible data management
practices among teachers and learners may be impoverished—limiting the effectiveness of a
consent form to support participants in making informed decisions
● Study in two schools, communication approach (harms vs. benefits)
○ Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-xcgnKcB-I
● Their understanding of responsible data management is underdeveloped
● Efforts beyond solely explaining data sharing risks in an informed consent (e.g. training) to facilitate
ethical self-determination
