Originally published at: OEG Voices 048: Robert Schuwer on his Lifetime Achievement OE Award for Excellence – OEG Voices
Our 2023 season commences a sequence of conversations with the people recognized in the most recent Open Education Awards for Excellence.

We have also documented the project in detail on this blog: https://samenhbovpk.blogspot.com/
