These open education awards are always a source of inspiration for me.
It’s wonderful to see so many I admire being nominated and to discover new work in the open education space.
Congrats, and most of all thanks to all the award nominees.

Wow, congrats to all finalists and thank you, OEGlobal friends for organizing this.
I remember how chuffed we were when the OER Research Hub collected one of the awards in Ljubljana back in 2014… every year I’ve seen them get better and better, and more amazing and beautiful and caring and generous and wonderful. All these fabulous people and projects make me so happy!
How can you choose??? We are all winners!

OpenLearn is constantly striving to reach those who need free education and the invasion of Ukraine was a huge motivation to modify our technical systems to take on the Ukrainian alphabet within OpenLearn, not just for some specific courses, but in its navigation and layout. The content we were able to translate aligned with what we knew Ukrainians were studying, all of which was a complete departure from what they had been studying prior to the invasion. It was a huge effort by the team to get content translated and functioning on OpenLearn in a few months but also gratifying to see so many learners using it. Hence, we’re enormously grateful for an organisation like OE Global to recognise this work in its annual awards! Hats off to the OpenLearn team

To be shortlisted for the OE Global Leadership Award is deeply humbling and I’m truly grateful that the work to reshape OpenLearn over the last 10 years is recognised. The team that develops, commissions and drives the technical infrastructure of OpenLearn are some of the most committed people I have ever worked with and who are also driven to support the social mission of the Open University. Providing digital badging for OER has been a passion of mine and I’m grateful for having had the opportunity to develop this over the years and for us all to see the impact this has had. It knits together a range of open standards and endeavours in openness by recognising learning achievements for those that need them most.
