OEG Connect says hello to people who have recently signed up and as well to those who have been here a while. Hello all!

We have some big plans for this year and hope we can entice the 1800+ open educators who have signed up here since 2020 to be part of our activities, contribute to discussions, start your own, and bring more colleagues into the fold.

If you are new here or have been here a while, how about doing an #introduction? Perhaps

  • What is the usual way in the place you live to say hello?
  • Let us know your name, what part of the world you live in, what organization / institution you work for.
  • Why / how is open education important to your work?
  • Share one personal experience where you benefited or experienced something unexpected from an act of openness.
  • What would you like to get out of this community space?
  • What are you wanting to do in 2025?

Namaste everyone! I have been here for white a while but also have been missing the action for the last 6 months or so. This has been a wonderful space where I have learnt so much and I am looking for more things to discover. Lots of things have been happening here, many of which I want to interact with. Now the work seems to have eased a little so you all will be seeing more of me. And yes, gearing up with the activity lineup for OE Week 2025. Will share soon!

Namaste, Ajita! We are always overjoyed to see you here and look forward to learning what you are creating now.

I urge others to take a look at Ajita’s Pressbooks-published OER Once Upon an Online Time that teaches issues of cybersecurity through a creative re-writing of classic fairy tales.

This is exactly the kind of resource we hope someone shares as an open asset through one of the channels recommended for Open Education Week. HINT HINT!
