Hi all,



I note that the Open Ed SIG slot is on the conference timetable at 4-5 on the Tuesday (Day 2) in Room 0.18 - https://www.alt.ac.uk/alt-conference/altc2014/conference-programme 



So like Alistair I think it would be good to use the slot we have been allocated. 



Great to see plans for it emerging already.



Cheers,



Haydn

Subject: Open ED SIG Committee event at ALT-C



Good afternoon everyone



I hope you are enjoying what has turned out to be an above-average summer :)



I wanted to check whether there's still an appetite for holding an 'event' at ALT-C in September?



There hasn't been much movement with the Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18lWnQML0PNxXiIMiG-x33OH99LLWtlgiN2jRD_qEe7s/edit?usp=sharing



To summarise what the key messages of the event *could* be:



That understanding Open Education is a key skill for professionals  at all levels of education (FE Adult Ed, WBL and HE) .   (AC)

The SIG has a mission to make this world accessible by offering useful interventions (AC) The SIG hopes to contribute to building useful policies and practice at institutional, sector and national levels.  (AC) It would be useful to develop a framework at different levels to help those interested see where they can contribute - DH Shall we continue with our ‘collecting’ of excellent resources for OER week 2015?



So I'm wondering whether the event should be a simple meet n' greet session to promote the SIG and what we do.



Does anyone have any contact with the conference organisers so I can see whether we can be allocated a room or space?



It would be nice to have some leaflets or cards about the SIG - do these already exist?



Any advice is welcome.



Best wishes



Sarah
