(in collaboration with OCWC, Slovenia, 23-25 April 2014)
What a conference #oer14! What can we say? THANK YOU to everyone for your willingness to make this such a success. The informal feedback has been amazing. You are legends.
Thank you to the organising committee, venue staff, keynotes, panel members, session chairs, reviewers, presenters, technical and reception staff, all those who tweeted and blogged and thanks to everyone who participated including our wider #oer14 community. It couldn’t have happened without you. Thanks to @digisim for the photos (please let us know if you want any removed), @mhawksey for the tagcloud and Contributor Map. Thanks also to Graham R Gibbs for the YouTube videos of the keynotes, and many of the presentations in Grainger and Marlborough rooms.
There are some new videos of the presentations and the posters available, linked from their abstracts in the timetable. We’ll sort out a handy tool so that you can see which sessions have extra files and videos attached.
Best of luck to OER15 in Cardiff. You can join the committee at [email protected]
