Thanks for your participation with Frontiers in Education, Jon!
It’s a fantastic journal, doing so well with its new inclusion in ESCI (Web of Science) as well. We’re delighted that you love the platform and peer review - we’re very proud of all the bespoke-built technical support that we offer authors, editors and reviewers for all Frontiers journals!
We’d love to hear from you for possible work with Young Minds too - please do contact us at kids@frontiersin.org any time!
Hello. I am Mélanie from Nantes, France ! 
Really pleased to co-host this year conference online and looking forward to meet all of you next may in Nantes !
So beautiful and peaceful Laura
Welcome Xiangyang! I really enjoyed the time in Bangkok and it’s great that you are able to join us in this conference. Hope you learn a lot and thanks for your all your work supporting open education.
Hi,
Glad to connect with you. Open Education practice is yet to reach a tipping point in many parts of Africa so to speak but the organization I work for (African Library and Information Associations and Institutions- AfLIA) is pushing hard at it and is open to collaborations.
Hello, everyone! My name is Sasha White, and I’m an instructional designer from the University of Manitoba in Canada. I look forward to participating in this conference and learning from all of you, as I hope to be one of many advocates of open education in our institution.
See you around, and stay safe and healthy!
Warm regards,
Sasha
Greeting from Sudan…
What amazing conference!, So happy to participate in this conference…
Thank you Eseta! we can talk about the MOOC PhD and career developement whenever you want!
Hi, James! A greeting from Xiangyang! Good to see you here. Long time no see!
Hi Xiangyang! So glad to see you here. Our time together in Dublin seems like from a different world. Hope to see you in person again soon!
I’ve just read through all these introductions – what an amazing community, from such diverse backgrounds. Really very pleased to see you all here, and hope you are enjoying the programme. I’m from the UK and I work for UCL and UNESCO.
hi there, Nkem! I have been liaising with a potential PhD candidate from Nigeria in the last few years, although the pandemic has slowed things. I worked with him on a paper in 2019: Opening Futures for Nigerian Education – Integrating Educational Technologies with Indigenous Knowledge and Practices
Hello there
It’s nice to get the opportunity to engage with participants at several forums. This is Mais from the University of Technology, Sydney. I am a learning design and technology specialist.
Here is a photo of UTS campus with state of art buildings, but before you go there I invite you to experience an interactive H5P module for developing OER using renewable assessment. My colleague @Eseta and I are also keen to hear your experience with engaging students in generating OER.
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:
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!
Ciao dear Adeline, we didn’t meet in the webinars but I hope we will find a moment to see each other online soon, while we wait for the online conference! Hugs from Monza
Welcome Lucy and we hope you are getting much out of the conference experience.
Thanks as well for sharing your open education work, I’m bookmarking to come back and learn more (my career started in science, Geology, but I veered into education). I am impressed with the engagement and quality of hands on activities I see in your course, and am noting how you are making great use of Discourse (a tool that I feel like I am always learning as I go) as well as H5P. I need to explore Observable more, that is a new one.
Alan
Thanks for presenting your work on renewable assessments, Mais, and I have been sharing the your student generated OER module built in H5P (great use of the Interactive Book content type).
It’s been too long since I was in Sydney, a favorite among favorite cities.
Alan
Interesting that several people included H5P in their presentations. Maybe we should have a talk with Joubel, at some point. And/or @Learnful (several OEG participants are on the advisory committee, including @connieb).
Glad to hear that you’ve found it useful, Alan
Alan, OEGlobal’s use of Discourse was (and remains) a great source of inspiration for me to choose it as my own community platform! 
I’m preparing to host a conference on Discourse for a conservation client next year, and I would love to chat with you about how to make best use its features, if you have time. I’ll drop you an email
Observable is best for data-driven interactive elements. In the GIS course I use it to demonstrate how maps look different depending on the spatial reference system you choose, but it also works well for allowing learners to explore datasets or statistical concepts
