[Open-education] World OER Congress: virtual option (OER lists)

Thu Sep 14 13:31:07 UTC 2017

Greetings Open Education Friends:

The 2nd World Open Educational Resources (OER) Congress is scheduled to be
held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on 18–20 September 2017:
http://www.oercongress.org

As the Congress will be able to host only around 600 delegates,
representatives of Government, NGOs, educators, experts, academia and
industry, there is a need to create equal opportunities for those who
cannot join others in Ljubljana and empower the OER community and every
Member State citizen around the world to be part of the OER Congress.

For this purpose, the Government of Slovenia will engage with its
multimedia stakeholders VideoLectures.Net, MiTeam and Ministry of Education
and other press partners to produce a virtual experience of the event via
the Virtual OER Congress (http://www.oercongress.org/vico/).

All involved, remote and room participants, speakers and exhibitors will be
able to access online materials, share content, information on satellite
events, sessions, documents and their key areas of interest in their
profiles.

Much of the Congress will be live streamed (specifically the main Congress
sessions: http://www.oercongress.org/draft-programme/), and the Slovenian
hosts also plan on pulling speakers, rapporteurs, satellite organizers and
speakers to give interviews, etc, so hopefully a full semi-TV live
programme will be made available. The streaming agenda follows the main
congress agenda.

The platform will be available until the end of 2017 and all registered
participants will be able to share experiences, documents, discussions
after the congress.
