Hi Everyone, Usually, I don't post conference announcements on the WikiEducator list -- but I think this instance is deserving, most notably the DEHub's work in fostering the development of an open OER research community on WikiEducator -- see: http://wikieducator.org/DEHub
Perhaps some speakers will consider developing their papers as OER on WikiEducator to start building an active research community in preparation of the launch of Wikiresearcher.org. More info below. Cheers Wayne On behalf of the DEHub and ODLAA Summit Organizing Committee, I would like to inform you of the: EDUCATION 2011-2021: GLOBAL CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES OF BLENDED AND DISTANCE LEARNING SUMMIT 15 - 18 Feb 2011.

The Education 2011-2021: Summit presents an opportunity for this connecting, sharing and co-building of knowledge. We encourage colleagues to participate by contributing full papers, research notes, posters, workshops and plenary sessions to the Summit with a focus on the three themes that underpin the DEHub objectives. Theme 1: Research and Development; Theme 2: Community and Open Learning; and Theme 3: Learning and Teaching.
