Description

This Open Educational Resource (OER) provides a practical and concise visual guide on the Delphi Method in academic research. Aimed at educators and institutional researchers, it explains how to apply this consensus-based methodology through three iterative rounds. The OER promotes evidence-based and gender-aware decision-making for curriculum design, policy development, and institutional change. It was developed within the framework of the GEDIS project (Gender Diversity in Information and Documentation) and is available under a Creative Commons licence.
