Open Education community heads to Brisbane
We are proud to support this year's OE Global Conference taking place in Brisbane, Australia, November 13-17th. Community is at the heart of what we do as an independent hosting company in Higher Education, and we are excited to be part of this wonderful event again this year.
The key part of our collaboration with OE Global is the 'Conference of the Air' - a radio offering that runs alongside the formal conference schedule:
Alan Levine, Director of Global Community at OE Global, shares his vision for what's ahead in his recent post:
"For OEGlobal 2024 we are rolling out a new concept on an old medium… radio. When was the last time (or likely never for some) that you turned in a radio receiver to listen to music, news? For this year’s conference we are trying out transmitted audio aka radio over the internet as what we are calling “Conference of the Air”.
Extending the reach and participation opportunity for the OEGlobal conference as in previous years includes a selection of live-streamed keynotes/major sessions and a few “from the conference floor” streams. This benefits those in the regions unable to travel. In a turn-around for a part of the world that extends itself to participate in North American / European events, the timing to view live events originating in Australia has challenges."
The conference programme showcases the huge range of work happening on the open web all across Higher Education just now, and this further emphasis just how important open infrastructure, governance, policy and practice has become. So if you are not able to travel to Australia to take part in person, the Conference of the Air format offers an opportunity to tune in and connect with like-minded colleagues.
Join us and listen in as we explore new research, case studies and advances from across a global community. Here's how to take get involved:
