Hi everyone! 
I’m happy to be attending my first OEG conference, and hope it is the first of many.
My background is wildlife conservation, and I’ve been an online educator for over a decade, initially for Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit and now with my own company, VerdantLearn - a startup founded on open educational principles that aims to empower biodiversity professionals to better monitor and protect wildlife and wildlands.
I ran my first open course a few months ago, with the support of the Open Education for a Better World mentoring programme. If you’re curious about my open education work, here are links:
- Introducing GIS for Conservation course materials - using P2PU’s wonderful Course-in-a-Box coupled with H5P and Observable
- Conservation learning community and course discussion forum - using Discourse
I’m keen to connect with others employing open educational approaches to nature conservation, climate change, environmental management and related fields.
Looking forward to learning from you all here - what a wealth of different activities there are!
