Greetings OEGlobal Connect community members. Did you know we welcome 1840 colleagues who have signed up to be part of this space?

Now that we have turned over the leaf on the new calendar year, and many are returning to their work places (that’s me today), we would like to know what in the broad landscape of open education you are hoping to reach for this year?

Happy new year! As community lead for #LTHEchat a weekly tweet chat that started in 2014, we have made the decision after 10 years to transition to Bluesky. We’ve prepared guidance on how to get started in Bluesky and how to follow a hashtag by creating a Feed. We hope we can make new connections and reengage colleagues who had left Twitter and moved to Bluesky. If you’d like to find out more take a look at our blog https://lthechat.com. The weekly Learning and Teaching in HE chat created by the community for the community takes place Wednesday 8-9pm GMT.

Happy New Year, Sue, and thanks for sharing these changes for #LTHEchat which has had such a great long run due to I say its participants, not the platform we will not mention by name :wink:

The “where to gather for social media” question is ever ongoing, we did a quick poll last month with not much to say is definitive.

Please share more when the details on how to join are available, and hope you can add the sessions for Open Education Week (Mar 3-7) when we open the event form mid January (ping me if you are willing to be an early tester).

Happy new year, Sue.

Thank you Alan for the invitation. I am reaching for collaboration and interest in using a new open online course Distributing learning and knowledge creation which sets open education in a knowledge equity setting. We hope that the course will be of use to education providers for staff development and capacity building, and I would be delighted to discuss further with anyone who may be interested.

Thanks for starting this thread, @cogdog!

I’m tentatively working towards one of my ‘Hamming questions’ being something like:

How can microcredentials avoid simply replicating old hierarchies and instead support more equitable approaches to recognising learning?

Yes, I know I’ve been working on this for a while now. But as technologies evolve, adoption grows, and terminologies change, the work around equity and openness continues!
