It’s open education conference season! Many here are packing their bags for travel or getting ready to spend time virtually there for the 2024 Open Education Conference, October 8-10 in Providence, Rhode Island USA and online.
If you are presenting, please share your topic. If you are registered, are you willing to share here any highlights from this year’s conference? Have you attended the Open Education Conference in the past?
In the works is a special live conversation October 29 with members of the Open Education Conference Board to share their insights of this event and members of the planning committee for OEGlobal 24. It’s like “Two Conferences Walk into a Coffee Bar, What do they talk about?”
If anyone in Providence for the conference wants to be an onsite camera (via mobile phone), we could open an OEG Live session to get a peek into the scene there.
Perhaps at that 30 minute break after the last sessions on Tuesday the 8th, before the opening reception?? All we need is a willing volunteer to walk around and get people there to talk to the world.
Lots of great action at first morning of OpenEd 2024. Who’s there or virtually? What have you seen? If you want a great highlight by highlight stream, see the live posts by @AbbeyElder in Mastodon https://hcommons.social/@OpenAccessElder e.g.
The latter from the opening keynote by James Glapa-Grossklag & Joy Shoemate on Open Education As Resistance (recording shall be posted). A nod to @poritzj who crafted a logo
Actually, I am with the minority who believes that CC BY-SA 4.0 is a much better license for open ed work. In fact, it’s not as small a minority as I once feared: I’ve recently met many more folks who agree.
So, except where otherwise noted, anything I create is under CC BY-SA 4.0 (except software, which is under GPLv3).
(And you do realize you didn’t put an attribution statement on your post, Alan, so you are technically in violation of the BY part…) (Just pointing that out for its informative value, wearing my CC Cert facilitator hat… under whose brim I always say “It’s so easy to put attribution statements, it can become almost automatic!”)
It’s been updated with a more proper attribution! I admit rushing that, and it was some quick searching during the keynote as someone in chat asked for a copy.
And yes, always keep that attribution hat on. I hope you do notice that I strive to both attribute and provide alt-text for images I post here.
Make sure you see Jonathan’s extensive (and well attributed) share page https://poritz.net/jonathan/share/ again modeling excellent open education practice.
I’m small scale staff…
