[Open-education] Friday chat: What can the open education 'movement' and open education working group learn from other movements and working groups?

Fri Sep 5 10:00:52 UTC 2014

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a good summer. It's been a little quiet on the list so 
I wanted to see if we could get another Friday chat going.

Last week I chatted to Jenny Malloy from the Open Science Working Group 
and she was saying that she's been trying to spend more time chatting to 
people from other working groups to see what they do well. I was 
wondering if we should be looking outward to get some ideas...

So here's a few examples:

  * Some working groups have*'membership and mentorships governance
    structures' - basically members paring up to work together, or
    linking experts and rising stars *
  * *Some do more on a local level (So I know we have quite a lot of
    interaction with the UK OER group - but maybe there are more
    opportunities here?)*
  * *Some working group websites try to be more of a hub of information.*
  * *Some working groups make more use of their advisory board - any
    ideas here?*
  * *Some use the community tumblr http://okfncommunity.tumblr.com*
  * *Some participate in Community Sessions
    http://wiki.okfn.org/Community_Sessions*
  * *Some have more cross-collaboration*
  * *Some have members pages where people can add details*

Any thoughts on these or other suggestions?

Thanks

Marieke
