Open Education Week 2019 - Webinar recordings availableThis year's Open Education Week was a celebration of the global Open Education Movement. Its goal was to raise awareness about the movement and its impact on teaching and learning worldwide, the free and open educational opportunities that exist for everyone, everywhere, right now. With the success of previous years' Open Education Weeks in the background, EDEN once again organised a very successful online event this March. This year, 5 webinars with 370 registered participants were held in Open Education Week in Europe. The participants came from 38 different countries, including 16 countries from outside Europe. The records of all 5 webinars can be viewed at the EDEN website and following these links: |
