Dear Barnali
Thanks for initiating a nice discussion. Although Knowledge and Skills can
be imparted through your SDL modules, attitudes require a different focus
and can be achieved through pro-active personal interests in the matter of
open access. We can build positive mindsets towards open access through
engaging them in OA publishing or OA archiving.
I also wish that you would run this online OA training course with
enrollment and enrolled students will get a certification after completion
of the course. This certification will help you creating much interests
amongst your target groups.
With Best Regards
Anup
