OEWeek Live! Open Conversation on Online Communities
Thu March 5, 2026 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm GMT
Join us for another OEWeek live streamed open conversation. We are talking today about the state on online communities for open educators. We have a fantastic panel with leaders/organizers of a few of them.
Can we even define them? What makes for a successful online community? Does the platform matter? How do we facilitate open places without over structuring them? What works? What are the challenges? Can we find ways to cross connect better?
