We all hear about it but most people don't know much more about it than the name. Well, this coming week is a time to learn as we celebrate the tenth anniversary of Open Education.
The focus is on Open Education Resources (OER) licensed with Creative Commons open licenses and available for anyone to use, reuse, share, and remix.
It features over 40 webinars, presentations, discussions, resource links and local workshops.
