Catalysing Open Innovation: OER World Map at #oer18 and #oeglobal18

It’s been a busy period for the OER World Map team! There has been a lot of development work taking place – including a new brand identity and UI overhaul for the OER World Map (which has a great new landing page).  The refresh was launched at OER18: Open to All – 9th Annual Conference for Open Education Research, Practice and Policy which took place in Bristol, UK between the 18-19th April.  The event was used to assess the use of the map as a tool for collecting and visualising data about conference attendance and activity.

OER World Map at #opened17

Next week the OER World Map project will be represented at the 14th Annual Open Education Conference which will take place in Anaheim, California between the 11th and 13th of October.

We can be found in the Royal Ballroom at table 23 on Thursday October 12, 2017 11:00am – 11:25am and again between 11:30am – 11:55am.  Instead of a formal presentation this will be a roundtable discussion with plenty of opportunity to find out how the OER World Map can make a difference to your OER related activities.

Evaluating OER World Map with its users – your input requested

As part of our commitment to iteratively improving the OER World Map through its development, we are always keen to receive feedback from our users.  To encourage participation from as many stakeholders as possible we have formalised this process in the form of a survey (found at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/OERWM2017).
