For Kiwi members on the list, an early heads up on the New Zealand national symposium on open education (see below).
The format and structure would be relatively easy to tweak for national symposiums in other countries -- feel free to reuse for your own jurisdictions. Cheers Wayne An early heads up on the National Symposium on Open Education (see below). Open Otago may want to submit one or two case studies<http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic/National_Symposium_on_Open_Education/Resources> of your work in the open space which will be used as an input resource for the symposium. Cheers Wayne Otago Polytechnic <http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic> in collaboration with the Commonwealth of Learning Chair in Open Educational Resources (OER <http://www.col.org/about/Pages/UNESCO-COLChairs.aspx>) and the OER Foundation <http://wikieducator.org/OERF:Home> will convene a national symposium on Open Education in Wellington on 8 November 2012. The symposium is intended for both the school and tertiary sectors. Following the adoption of the 2012 Paris OER Declaration at the recent UNESCO World OER Congress, this national symposium will bring together educational leaders and policy makers to consider the strategic opportunities for OER in New Zealand and to explore policy enablers and practices for harnessing the potential of open education approaches for the benefit of the formal education sector in New Zealand. The symposium will commence work on “proposals for action” as the first step towards planning the way forward for a sector-wide response to open education in New Zealand. - Visit the NZOpenEd portal page<http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic/National_Symposium_on_Open_Education> - Submit an expression of interest to attend<http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic/National_Symposium_on_Open_Education/Register> (There is no registration fee, however participants are responsible for their own transport and accommodation.) - Register as a virtual participant<http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic/National_Symposium_on_Open_Education/Register> (subject to securing sponsorship for the Web cast) -- Wayne Mackintosh <http://wikieducator.org/User:Mackiwg>, Ph.D. Director OER Foundation <http://www.oerfoundation.org> Director, International Centre for Open Education, Otago Polytechnic Commonwealth of Learning Chair in OER, Otago Polytechnic Founder and elected Community Council Member, WikiEducator<http://www.wikieducator.org> Mobile +64 21 2436 380 Skype: WGMNZ1 Twitter <http://twitter.com/#%21/Mackiwg> | identi.ca<http://identi.ca/waynemackintosh> Wikiblog <http://wikieducator.org/User:Mackiwg/Blog> -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
