>From Maraih: Striving towards education freedom.
HI EVERYONE, We are excited to announce that Open Ed Jam has been revamped! It is now called* Libre Learn Lab* and will be hosted at MIT's Sloan School of Management on Oct 8th & 9th, 2016. This year's theme is "From Play to Policy" which we think will bring in great sessions, workshops and panels.
