Dear All,

 

Please see below details of the OER13 conference 26-27 March 2013 in Nottingham, UK being co-chaired by Chris Pegler (OU) and me. We have a fantastic group of volunteers helping us to organise this and would now ask for your help in promoting it.

 

We’re looking for interesting papers or posters on all aspects of openness in education, and it would be great to see some submissions from members of this list.

 

Best wishes,

 

 

If you haven’t yet seen this announcement please do take a few minutes to read this email and consider providing an abstract for the OER13 conference.

 

Call for abstracts closes at the end of October, and bookings are now open.

 

Please share in your networks and hope to see many of you 26-27 March 2013 in Nottingham.

 

OER13 conference, Call for abstracts closes 31st Oct

With the title ‘Creating a Virtuous Circle’, this conference focuses on how we can build on the last ten years of investment in open educational resources and move to the creation of a virtuous circle of open educational practice. It’s about becoming a virtuous rather than a vicious circle and an open rather than a closed one.

 

OER13 is inviting abstracts for papers/posters within its three key themes of:  Evidence - Experience - Expectation

 

We anticipate presentations which will share lessons learned to inform the feedback loop, stories of current activity to share good practice, and creative solutions to achieve greater emphasis on openness in education.

 

Booking are now open with the early-bird price of this two day conference including celebration reception and gala dinner just £167 (on-campus accommodation can be booked separately for under £50) .

 

We expect this to be an exciting programme which we hope that many of you will want to be part of.
