OE Global is one of several organizations supporting open education and we are excited to record a conversation between Open Education Global Executive Director Paul Stacey and Association for Learning Technology (ALT) Chief Executive Maren Deepwell.
What do OE Global and ALT have in common? What do they hope to see happen and come out of Open Education Week? How are they managing strategic planning in the middle of a pandemic? How are these organizations using open approaches to design sustainable online events? How can ALT and OE Global generate more collaboration between organizations in support of open education globally - not just around principles but in actions?
These might be topics, but this is an open conversation, as the title of a podcast series Maren has been part of, “totally unscripted”. If there are specific questions you want addressed, please reply below.
This podcast is being recorded 2021-03-01T16:00:00Z and will be published here as soon as possible, so you can listen and respond.
We expect Maren and Paul to pose some ideas and questions to you.
I am really looking forward to the conversation with Paul and Alan. My experience of OE Global has focused around events such as last year’s great conference, which I had the pleasure to contribute to. It gave me a great sense of global connections and networking - something that is different from ALT’s network which is more UK focused. I am interested to hear ideas and questions about enablers and barriers to working together in Open Education as we approach Open Education Week.
Such a treat to have an unscripted conversation with Maren and Alan. I’m keen to share ideas, explore what is exciting in our work, think big, and be thankful for small things. Can’t wait to see what emerges as we connect to kick off Open Education Week.
