I’m making the OEG Connect the first place to announce the opening (just now) of the 2025 Open Education Awards for Excellence. The OEAwards program has been providing community driven recognition in the Open Education space since 2011. Look around for many new elements to the OEAwards.
For those who have followed and been part of the awards before, you will notice many new elements, first and foremost a visual theme of “seed planting” part of our aim in 2025 to place awards as just a part of a larger ecosystem of the practice of recognition.
We hope to make clear that submitting a nomination is something worth doing not for the expectation/hope of an award, but more to generate a large pool of nomination people and projects that all will be recognized.
I will save reading a lot of details that we hope are clear on the updated OEAwards site! We hope you are thinking now of who or what to nominate.
Look for full details for organizing your nomination and the access to the form via the 2025 OEAward Guide.
The form is standing by – you have plenty of time as it will remain open through July 21, 2025.
But just for the people in OEG Connect, I have lined up a special small prize for the first to nominate. Please spread the word widely where you are and elsewhere online.
