Thoughts and Take-Aways from #OER17 – Silence and Voice

"Now that I have been able to process some of the experience that was (and continues to be) #OER17, I am inspired to bridge more areas of  Research<>Practice through Open Educational Resources. I believe I need to reframe the role these play in my thinking, teaching, research, and professional work, along with not only considering how to expand these, but doing so in ways that are natural and transparent across the diverse realms of interests I have. All this hinges upon professional and personal communities, as open resources without people to use and value them will not really be of much benefit. After all, open educational resources should bring a value that would otherwise not be gained if we do not engage with people."
