Get ready for Open Education Week 2025
March 3-7, 20205
We are proud to take part in OE Week 2025, and support Open Ed Bloggers everywhere. An annual celebration, Open Education Week (OE Week) is an opportunity for actively sharing and learning about the latest achievements in Open Education worldwide.
Free to attend & everyone welcome. Don’t forget to Register!
During Open Education Week we are planning to:
- share blogging tips and inspiration on Discord;
- collate open resources and contribute our own;
- encourage everyone to share blog posts, what works for their blogging practice or what is stopping them from blogging.
Blogging Community of Practice: Try out a blogging challenge
This "challenge" includes a couple of prompts about your blogging process, which you post a response to on your blog, and from which you can then ping or tag others to respond in turn. If you'd like to try it out for yourself, head over to Discord and get the prompts, and share the resulting link via the hashtag #blogging4life.
Develop your institutional capability in 2025
We are committed to helping you make the most of open tools and infrastructure. We offer dedicated training for administrators, instructional designers and academic staff via virtual and in person training sessions supported by clear documentation and resources. Find out more and get in touch if you'd like to work with us to upskill your team or enhance your strategy.
