Welcome and and Say Hello to EDUTECH 2022 Participants

Thanks for the opportunity to visit and thank toy @OERIDEAL for the invitation.

Just quickly thinking of the questions that came at the end- if you are thinking of sharing the educational materials you are creating, start first with this in mind and seek to use only media and content shared openly under conditions that allow reuse. Check with your librarians and educational developers about finding such resources (or ask here!), and ask Beatrice too more about what she learned of Creative Commons as she is certified!

It can get complex when dealing with content from cultures where such ideas of ownership and copyright are not the same. We have had discussions and interests here on what is known as Traditional Knowledge Labels, a very interesting topic

Also, regarding the question about resources for addressing the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning and well being (talk about a global issue), you will find some resources by searching here within OEG Connect. A few of them will be conference papers, presentations by international educators who have recently published as an important paper

Impact of COVID-19 on Formal Education: An International Review of Practices and Potentials of Open Education at a Distance

Many of the coauthors have accounts in OEG Connect, including @Andreia who joins OEGlobal this month as our new Executive Director!

We hope the Alamo Colleges participants feel welcome to join the community and ask more questions here- in general a community is a better place to find answers than one person.
