Make a Commitment to Open Education

It is Open Education week this week and there are an incredible amount of things going on.  You can find more out here  http://www.openeducationweek.org/webinars/ 
At the Support Centre for Open Resources in Education (SCORE) we are running an event this Thursday looking at Sustaining OER activity http://www8.open.ac.uk/score/events/sustaining-oer-activity you can attend in person or online.

As part of the week we are also asking people to make a commitment to Open Education, you can sign the pledge here http://www8.open.ac.uk/score/make-commitment-open-education 

This is also the beginning of a new group; The Open Education Group (follow @OpenEG on twitter). Based in the UK the Oeg is initially set up as a special interest group of the Association of Learning Technologies and aims to support, develop, sustain and influence policy in Open Education.

If you would like more information about the Oeg as it continues to shape its agenda please either sign the commitment to OER or email the SCORE project SCORE@open.ac.uk who are currently hosting and supporting the group.
