Welcome to the Community of Practice blog. This is a space for you to share your stories and learn what fellow community members are doing in the Open Education space. We invite community members to share your experiences via the ‘submit your story’ button below. Content types include (but are not limited to) case studies, work in progress, opinion pieces, reflections from events you have attended, spotlights on institutions or individuals.
How does the blog fit with the Community mailing list? The blog is ideal for longer pieces of text which are not time-critical or do not necessarily require a response. It provides space for reflection. You can search the contents of the blog using the search function in the navigation bar at the top of the page.
Note: The views expressed in these blog posts represent those of our individual community members as a means of sharing ideas and best practices, and are not necessarily that of the entire OER Community of Practice.
We all benefit from one another's experience.
