Open Ed Conference 2008

Just a quick note to pass on information about the upcoming Open Education Conference in Logan Utah – see http://opencontent.org/blog/archives/503 I attended last year and it is an amazing experience. You check the reality of "education" as we know it and dream with a group of about 250 free-thinkers about the possibilities … free flow of information … knowledge sharing across boundaries (countries, institutions …). They are offering 4 scholarships this year (link in the attached post) to cover travel and conf. fees. The call for proposals link is also there. Even if you can’t swing a trip to UT, ALL of the sessions are recorded and posted immediately after each session for free access and the interface includes a text based "backchannel" where you can post comments / questions – the next best thing to being there.
