OER17 presents an opportunity for open practitioners, activists, educators and policy makers to come together as a community to reflect on The Politics of Open. What are our current key challenges and strengths – locally, nationally, and internationally? What are our priorities – in terms of political governance, organisational and personal politics? What are the changes that we want to effect together? The conference will be chaired by social and educational technologist and Wikimedia UK Trustee Josie Fraser, and Alek Tarkowski, Director of Centrum Cyfrowe, co-founder and coordinator of Creative Commons Poland.

This webinar, run jointly with Jisc, will enable ALT members to engage with the ongoing consultation for Jisc's next phase of the co-design project. It will support support one of the six co-design six challenges on which Jisc are currently consulting: How we can use data to improve teaching and learning?

This webinar is a chance for the higher and further education communities to be briefed on what has been said about this challenge so far and give their input. Sarah Davies, head of higher education and student experience, and Ruth Drysdale, senior co-design manager, will give their synthesis of the consultation discussions and ask attendees to provide feedback and add any additional points.

Sarah Davies is head of higher education and student experience at Jisc. She has worked in technology-enhanced learning for more than 20 years and currently leads Jisc’s work to support learning and teaching in higher education. She has managed significant change and research and development projects in a number of areas of technology-enhanced learning, including digital literacies, learning environments, and assessment, and has also provided consultancy to universities in these areas.

Ruth Drysdale joined Jisc in 2009 and has since supported universities’ innovative use of technology to improve the student experience. Prior to Jisc, Ruth worked at UWE, Bristol and in IT departments for various commercial organisations.

A New Look at Wikimedia, the World's Largest OER

Martin Poulter

As Jorum repository is set to retire in September 2016 (<a href="http://www.jorum.ac.uk/retirement/">http://www.jorum.ac.uk/retirement/</a>). Martin Poulter will be considering whether Wikimedia has a role in Open Education and can be used in ways not previously considered - part repository, part VLE, part academic publishing and collaboration. Is there an opportunity here to move more into Wikimedia? Can Wikimedia take up some of these roles? This webinar promises to be an interesting discussion.

Dr Martin Poulter is the ICT Manager for the Economics Network based at the University of Bristol. He has worked as the Wikimedia Ambassador for Jisc and as the Wikimedian In Residence at the Bodleian Libraries and this summer was named UK Wikimedian of the Year.

The session was recorded and can be accessed at <a href="http://go.alt.ac.uk/2f9OwLn">http://go.alt.ac.uk/2f9OwLn</a> (mp4 version: <a href="http://go.alt.ac.uk/2dZp3la">http://go.alt.ac.uk/2dZp3la</a> )
