[Open-education] OER16 Submissions Open

Wed Oct 7 15:44:56 UTC 2015

Dear all, 

[Apologies for cross posting] 

I’m delighted to announce that OER16 Open Culture [1] is now accepting submissions for the conference which will take place at the University of Edinburgh on the 19th and 20th April 2016. The call for proposals [2] was launched at the ALT Conference in Manchester at the beginning of September and the submissions [3] site is now open.

Submissions are invited for presentations, lightning talks, posters, and panels and workshops on the themes of:

	• The strategic advantage of open, creating a culture of openness, and the reputational challenges of openwashing.
	• Converging and competing cultures of open knowledge, open source, open content, open practice, open data and open access.
	• Hacking, making and sharing.
	• Openness and public engagement.
	• Innovative approaches to opening up cultural heritage collections for education.

If you have any queries about the conference themes feel free to contact me at lorna.m.campbell at ed.ac.uk <mailto:lorna.m.campbell at ed.ac.uk> / lorna.m.campbell at icloud.com <mailto:lorna.m.campbell at icloud.com> or on twitter @lornamcampbell. Any queries regarding the submission process should be directed to Anna Davidge at ALT, anna.davidge at alt.ac.uk <mailto:anna.davidge at alt.ac.uk>.

Further information about the conference is available here oer16.oerconf.org <http://oer16.oerconf.org/> and you can follow @oerconf [4] and#oer16 [5] on twitter. 

Look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh in the Spring!

Best Wishes
Lorna and Melissa
