Open to challenges, exploring the frontiers of STEM education
eSTEeM brings together STEM academics to promote innovation and scholarship.
We are working in four priority areas:
- Education for employment – working with employers, sector skills councils, professional bodies, HE STEM agencies etc.
- International STEM education – promoting conversations about international challenge in supply of STEM graduates, associated teaching and learning models, and scholarship opportunities.
- Engagement – promoting innovation, development and associated scholarship.
- Enterprise – identifying opportunities to use Open University expertise in STEM education in spin-out activities and resources.
Much of our work centres on the effective use of learning technologies at scale - our portfolio of projects includes work on e-assessment, mobile learning, online laboratories and the use of virtual learning environments. We welcome partnerships and are already working with universities and other agencies both within and outside the UK.
