Argumentation: ←1: The lectures of the workshop in 2008 explained on the prinicipal idea, structure, methods (and tools) for open assessment (see listing below). The workshop offered the ultimate setting for vivid discussion on the rationale and applicability of open assessment and the suggested methods. In my opinion, the challenge for the workshop in 2009 is to see how current assessment methods&tools (e.g. health impact modelling) can be used for open assessments and what methods&tools are additionally required for successful open assessments. Each of the participants could explain on his or her experience with one or several assessment methods & tools and discuss its suitability for open assessment purposes. I could for example reflect on the issue-framing method and in this context present a tool for policy-relevant indicator-selection. The discussion could focus on how to generate an issue-framing tool that allows for integrating diverse stakes and perspectives. It would also be interesting to hear about experiences with open assessment performances: its successes, experiences difficulties, lessons and challenges. --Eva Kunseler, dd 29Oct08 ←2: This is a great idea. We should go for real-life cases, variables, or methods developed or used by the participants. These would be described beforehand in Opasnet by the participant, and evaluated and criticized by us. Then, there would be practical examples of interesting issues in open assessment already when the workshop starts. These topics could be presented in the workshop, and some of them could be worked on in smaller groups. --Jouni 12:35, 12 November 2008 (EET)
