Dear all,
Registration is now open for the OER16 Open Culture Conference
<https://oer16.oerconf.org/> at the University of Edinburgh, and an ‘early
bird’ discount is available until 6 March. I'm circulating the news as
we're collaborating with the University of Edinburgh and were encouraged to
promote the event.
The early bird rate is £250 for the full 2 day conference including the
Gala Dinner on Tuesday, 19 April. Limited places for one day attendance are
available, although we encourage delegates to register for the full event
whenever possible. Single day attendance does not include the Gala Dinner
and costs £160. No early bird discount is available for single days.
OER16 will take place on 19th & 20th April 2016 at the University of
Edinburgh. The conference will be chaired by Melissa Highton, Director of
Learning, Teaching and Web Services at the University of Edinburgh, and
Lorna Campbell, OER Liaison at the University of Edinburgh and EDINA
Digital Education Manager.
OER16 will focus on:
• The strategic advantage of open and creating a culture of openness.
• Converging and competing cultures of open knowledge, open source, open
content, open practice, open data and open access.
• Hacking, making and sharing.
• The reputational challenges of openwashing.
• Openness and public engagement.
• Innovative approaches to opening up cultural heritage collections for
education.
Keynotes speakers are Catherine Cronin, Jim Groom, Melissa Highton, John
Scally and Emma Smith.
