Hi All! The program for the Open Edge forum is now online!
http://open-edge.info/program This one day forum will address questions and issues about 'open education' in Australian schools. Open education refers to open educational resources, and draws upon open technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible learning and the open sharing of teaching practices that empower educators to benefit from the best ideas of their colleagues. The Open Edge Forum will bring together school leaders, practitioners and policy makers to discuss strategies for fostering open education in Australian schools. Understanding and embracing innovations like these will be critical to the future of education in Australia. Using online technologies, this workshop will be linked into other similar events occurring around the globe. Hear what colleagues in the US, UK and Portugal are doing in their schools using open education initiatives. Presenters will outline current directions in Australia and overseas concerning: * open content * open source software * open learning platforms * open licencing * open pedagogy * open standards * open networks Registration is just $49 and you can register and pay online http://open-edge.info/open-edge-fri-9-october -- donna benjamin Open Edge: Open Education Forum forum facilitator SCEGGS Darlinghurst, NSW http://open-edge.info Friday 9th October 2009 _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
