We are delighted to announce a date and venue for #OER17. For the 8th Open Educational Resources conference we head to London on the 5th and 6th April 2017. The venue will be Resource for London which is a registered charity owned by the Trust for London which tackles poverty and inequality. OER17 will be focusing on ‘The Politics of Open’ and will include four themes:

Local, national, and international policy and practice;
Institutional/organisational politics;
Participation & social equality; and
Open Party

The call for proposals will be announced in Q4 2016. In the meantime if you’d like to join our co-chairs Josie Fraser and Alek Tarkowski in helping shape this event here is more information about joining the conference planning team.

I am not so experienced as to be on the committee although I am always avid to learn, but I am happy to help in any other space where work needs to be done.

  Hi Caroline,
  
  The committee is very informal, you can pick and choose what you do and the best place to find out about other things you can do at oer17. You can always join and if it’s not working out for you drop out 🙂
