OERs have been built in the UK for a loooong time. I am headed there in late April to investigate. My open ds106 colleagues Mariana Funes and Rochelle Lockridge and I submitted a paper for the OER14 conference in Newcastle. We submitted A DS106 Thing Happened on the Way to the 3M Tech Forum as […]

Last Friday was an extra special day to visit friends and colleagues at the Maricopa Community Colleges- it was the second annual TechTalks event hosted at Scottsdale Community College.
