And if you are attending a conference related to open education in anyway and are interested in sharing the experience with us, let me know! We are happy to set up an OEG Live session for everyone here,
Hi. I’m sorry to see that OEG has decided to stream on Twitter, which, under Musk’s ownership, bans journalists and academics, and promotes the full menu of anti-worker, anti-science, anti-public health, censorship and hatred.
Point taken, Larry. This is not an endorsement of these acts nor was this any official OEG decision, I take responsibility was this was my experiment in streaming to places other than YouTube.
We have been proactive in promoting the Fediverse and established our Mastodon presence last year. With all that is is unraveling we are working like many others to reach open educators.
I appreciate your candor and hope to extend this as an open conversation.
Alan, thanks for your quick reply. I think you’ll find an overall negative response from the OE community and I know that you’ve supported the members transitioning to Mastodon and other platforms, so I hope this will be just a minor blip.
Thanks for raising this valid point and concern @LarryCooperman!
We’ve all been a bit at sea regarding Twitter / X – and as @cogdog has said, we’ve been supporting the move to Mastodon, but we also don’t want to leave open educators and activists behind.
For many, this is the only platform they are on. Until they catch up, we’ll still share our alerts there - but no live broadcasts. However, we are definitely concentrating more heavily on other platforms.
Hello from Wikimania! Thanks to @cogdog for hosting our discussion earlier!
Here are a few links for you to participate in Wikimania from wherever you are … With more than 3,000 registrations from 138 countries, you can access the online events on eventyay.
Today – the hybrid programming kicks off at 10.00 Singapore time (02:00 UTC), and there’s a lot to choose from. There will be a series of talks and hands-on workshops about Wikisource, Commons, and Wikipedia basics, as well as leadership development sessions brought to you by LetsConnect and the Leadership Development Working Group (in-person only), day 2 of the Hackathon, and the first ever WikiWomen Summit—a day of gender equity-related presentations and open discussions with Wikimedians from around the world.
During the discussion on OEG Live, we mentioned Wikiversity … if you are curious about this vast resource, you can find it here: https://en.wikiversity.org
Joining us was Dr. Netha Hussain, a medical doctor from India, Peter Gallert, a senior lecturer from Namibia, Filiip Maljković from Wikimedia Serbia and the Wikipedia & Education User Group, and OEGlobal’s Isla Haddow-Flood who is also a Wikipedian that co-runs Wiki In Africa.
