Hello |FNAME|,
We sincerely appreciate your decision to join OEGlobal (https://www.oeglobal.org/) through our Individual Members program (OEGlobal Individual Members List – OEGlobal) . This is one of those personal updates I send to individual members, whom OEGlobal considers valuable ambassadors for open education.
As you know, we do not collect fees for Individual membership, but instead ask for acts of contribution and participation, as many of you have done in our OEGlobal Connect community and during Open Education Week (OEWeek25: One for the Record Books! – OEGlobal) . It’s time for another request where you, as an individual, can make a difference.
OEGlobal has opened nominations for the 2 (https://awards.oeglobal.org/) 025 Open Education Awards for Excellence (https://awards.oeglobal.org/) . We’d like to see a strong showing of nominations (and winners) from the 250+ OEGlobal Individual Members in 2025, thus showcasing the incredible work that individuals can do.
You might wonder, “What can I, as an individual, do to nominate someone for an award, especially in light of the scope and scale of previous award winners (Awards – Open Education Awards for Excellence) ?”
This year, we’re viewing the awards as one part of a broader effort to recognize achievements within our community. OEAwards in 2025 are designed to recognize the winners and highlight every nomination, as each represents a contribution worth sharing. Not everyone can win, so all accepted nominees will receive digital badges to acknowledge their open education work.
What you can do – one of the most impactful actions you can take is to write a nomination for someone or a project that inspires you or has influenced your efforts. This is a significant act of gratitude that we hope to spread widely.
Don’t discount your work or the projects you have contributed to! The 2025 Awards Nomination Guide (2025 Awards Nomination Guide – Open Education Awards for Excellence) includes all the details for planning and gathering information, including the link to the nomination form. There is plenty of time—nominations will be accepted until July 21.
This year, our theme likens open education work to gardening (It’s the Season for Planting Seeds of Recognition that Grow into OEAwards for Excellence – OEGlobal) – outstanding ideas and recognition start with planting a seed. We encourage you to consider fostering open acts of recognition by submitting a nomination for the OEAwards in 2025.
If you need any assistance or would like to brainstorm ideas, join the OEAwards discussions in the OEG Connect community (OEAwards - OE Global Connect) or contact me directly.
Warm regards and sunny days,
Alan Levine
Director of Innovation & Community Engagement (Alan Levine – OEGlobal) ,
