What does Developing Supportive Policy mean to you and your work?
We all work in and around Open Education. What happens as a result of the UNESCO OER Recommendation affects all of us.
This conference is dedicated to hearing from experts, but there are many voices, opinions, and experiences that have not yet been heard. Whether you are a presenter, an attendee, or a curious observer, the conversation does not end with #OEGlobal21.
This page gives you the opportunity to share with the Open Education community, your thoughts on each Action Area.
How does Developing Supportive Policy impact my life
The UNESCO OER Recommendation is a dense document organized into five action areas each with its own set of recommendations. OEGlobal asked members of the community to create a short video to explain one of the five action areas and their importance to their work and open education.
