One sleep until the OEGlobal Conference! Looking forward to this panel chat tomorrow with these wonderful colleagues. I’ll be sharing the story of Ontario Extend, a professional learning program developed by eCampusOntario designed to build the skills, knowledge and attributes to teach and learn in a digital environment. Watch our short intro video (below) to learn more or visit: https://extend.ecampusontario.ca/. So what does all that have to do with open education? I’ll explain tomorrow :slight_smile:

Here is some of our preliminary work on competencies in three professional roles in open education. Thank you all for a wonderful conversation about Professional Development and Open Education. We’re excited to continue our work in the Regional Leadership in Open Education Professionalism work group.

I regret missing this panel session (was facilitating the Ontario Extend session happening at same time) but so enjoyed hearing the recording.

We have a lot of fantastic programs, certifications described here, especially in the skills and practice of creating/producing OE and in leadership. My interest is what we can do as suggested by several (or all) here in terms of connecting or creating networks of practice, or leveraging the potential of mentorship @Lena mentioned.

I think I will jump this over to the topic @Jennryn started in the Convo and Collab area…

Thanks for fitting so much into a one hour panel.
