| Does anyone have knowledge or experience of the United Nations Volunteer programme by |
I was wondering whether any members of this SCoPE seminar have any prior knowledge or experience of the United Nations Volunteer (UNV) programme? Is there anything we can learn from the UNV programme for the design of AVI? Should the OER Foundation consider partnering with the UNV to make use of their online volunteering service for AVI? Are there other organisations who could assist with coordinating volunteer services? Would it be better for the OERu intitiative to build their own volunteer coordiniation model? What do you think? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||

That's valuable feedback. Has the peoples-uni initiative done any research or analysis on the different roles of volunteers, who they are, why they volunteer and the average time they contribute to the project, for example hours per week? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||

How do we scale the model so that we have enough volunteers to provide a short personal orientation service for new OERu course enrolments (without adding cost to the OERu anchor partners.)? Are their ways in which the OERu network could generate revenue to offer some form of payment for a "call-centre" type of environment where personal support of this nature could be offered? Are there kudos incentives which would encourage volunteers to provide a personal orientation for OERu learners? For example -- I wouldn't object, for instance, to donating 1 hour a week to provide orientation services - -I enjoy connecting with "real" people and get tremedous satisfication from helping a neighbour. | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||

My sense is asking for advice and input for the planning of AVI with specific reference to "Retired academic volunteers" . Would a covering letter and a short survey collecting the information we need be a suitable approach? Would participants be interested in generating ideas for the kinds of questions / data we need to gather when contracting groups like the Golden Gurus? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | Source | Highlighted Text | Margin Note | User |
