Homework 1a
I decided to answer the following three questions, since I found them interesting enough and didn't exactly know what I would answer with my existing knowledge.
Q: What are co-creation skills?
If I understood correctly, co-creation skills represent a set of a variety of skills needed in the process of decision making in order to better organise the information which are the basis for a good decision and are useful in open policy practice. Important skills are, according to the given material, divided into 4 categories:
- Encouragement (skills, which aid people in decision making, make functional information and skills to learn from other people)
- Synthesis (skills important to synthesise information in such way, to produce a structured and practical from)
- Open data (skills that help to manipulate data so that they can be used in models and represent some kind of a variable)
- Modelling (skills for assessment modelling development by using different tools and methods such as probabilities, R-tools in Opasnet etc.)
Q: What is open assessment?
The so-called open assessment, refers to a methodology of structured information for the decision making in which anyone can participate and comment with the help of internet tools (Opasnet). An understandable structure of information and scientific practice is the basis of this method. The information is structured in a way (I see it as some kind of a flowchart), so that it predicts different outcomes based on certain decisions.
Q: What are the dimensions of openness?
Dimensions of openness include scope of participation, access to information, timing of openness, scope of contribution and impact of contribution, all which are used in the evaluation of an assessment.
