Late registration opportunity for OER17 Conference

Although formal registration for #oer17 closed (on 16 March) we are still able to accept a limited number of late registrations (single day and full conference) until 27th March 2017 https://oer17.oerconf.org/registration/

With keynotes from: Maha Bali, American University in Cairo; Lucy Crompton-Reid, Wikimedia UK; and Diana Arce, Activist Artist and Researcher, Germany, and a plenary panel with Catherine Cronin, Laura Czerniewicz and Muireann O’Keeffe plus over 100 sessions from the open education community we hope it’s the open education event you won’t want to miss.

Taking place in London on 5-6 April the #OER17 conference provides an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in learning more about open resources, policy and practice to connect with experts and enthusiasts. We welcome delegates from all sectors to come and share knowledge and experiences, network and learn. 

The conference will be chaired by social and educational technologist and Wikimedia UK Trustee Josie Fraser, and Alek Tarkowski, Director of Centrum Cyfrowe, co-founder and coordinator of Creative Commons Poland.  

The conference themes this year are:

  • Local, national, and international policy and practice
  • Institutional/organisational politics
