As part of our mission to facilitate best practice in Scottish open education, we are delighted to announce the 3rd Opening Educational Practices Scotland Forum on Thursday 5th November 2015. 
The purpose of the Forum is to:

• explore the latest developments in open educational practice and pedagogy
• provide insight into practical ways to get started, deepen or enhance your understanding of OEP
• share the project’s progress, plans and findings
• explore how OEPS can help you and your organisation – and how to get involved in the project
• enable participants to build their own network of open educational practitioners

 We do this by:

• Bringing together leading practitioners
• Providing workshops on leading edge topics as well as introductory sessions for those new to OEP
• Encouraging groups from organisations to come to the forum to learn together
• Building time into the programme for participants to network
• Facilitating sessions where the project can learn from participants’ knowledge and experience

The theme of our 3rd forum will be Opening Educational Practice and Widening Participation.  Further details of the programme and how to register will follow soon, however in the meantime please put the date and venue in your diary: Thursday 5th November 2015 at 200 St Vincent Street Conference & Events Venue, Glasgow G2 5RQ.

The twitter hashtag for this event is #OEPSforum3

During the day we are planning a networking and poster session.  We are looking for posters that explore good practice in widening participation through open education.  If you’d like to submit a poster please get in touch by the end of July to express your interest at [email protected].   Further details to follow on poster size, submission deadline, etc.
