On the 20th June I have the pleasure of presenting some of the work around open courses I’ve been doing as part of ocTEL. The event is free and has a great list of other presenters working on open education in Scotland
The ALT-Scotland special interest group will be hosting an event on Thursday 20th June, 11.00-15.30, at Glasgow Caledonian University. The focus will be on open education and what it means for our practice in Scottish institutions. Topics will include Edinburgh University’s experience of Coursera (Christine Sinclair), a look at Open Badges (Grainne Hamilton), designing the ocTEL platform (Martin Hawksey) and an update from the SQA (Joe Wilson) . There will also be plenty of time to network and catch up on the latest developments. Book your place on the ALT website.
Martin Hawksey is Chief Innovation, Technology and Community Officer for ALT his work is focused on the development of ALT’s member services exploring how connectivist approaches can be used to support the community. This includes the application of data aggregation and dissemination techniques using existing open source platforms such as WordPress.
