From passion project to web empire.. talking ReclaimPress with Bryan Mathers
Since the launch of the beta program for ReclaimPress many in our community have enjoyed seeing not only a new hosting offer for Wordpress but also the unique visuals that accompany our newest offering. Created by our long-time collaborator and friend Bryan Mathers, of Visual Thinkery, we have been working hard to bring you a visual concept that truly captures what makes this new venture so special... and why you should get involved!
Open Call for Case Studies
This academic year we've worked with institutions to develop institutional capability and infrastructure. What we’ve learned is that when it comes to digital education, things move fast and keeping up with the newest tools and technologies is an ongoing challenge. Our case studies offer quick insights into practice and products, helping you make the most of open tools and infrastructure. With practical examples and take aways to help you navigate your own projects, these case studies offer a way to share practice, celebrate impact and contribute to the community.
Share YOUR story in the new academic year!
Work with us to share best practice and lessons learnt, and tell YOUR story of how you use open edtech tools or infrastructure with staff and students. This is an opportunity to reflect and share your work beyond your institution with a little help from our expert team.
So, do you have a story to tell or a project that you think would be a good fit for a Reclaim Case Study? Get in touch and let us know!
