New call - Open Education for a Better World. The #OE4BW program is a mentoring program where Open Education practitioners (developers) that want to contribute to a better world through addressing the Sustainable Development Goals are matched with the guidance of internationally recognized mentors in developing #OER.

@prigon talking about #AI Literacy at #EDUSCOPE #OE4BW mentioning this cool geopolitical/material cartography of the internet by https://www.cartografiasdainternet.org/ (also in english https://codingrights.org/docs/MapInternetTerritories_EN.pdf)

@OpenRobert55 reminding us of the less-instrumental (and more important) values behind #OER - public values, social justice... at #EDUSCOPE #OE4BW conference.

Setting up for our #OE4BW mini conference. About to start in a few minutes time.
Vicky Avinash (Mauritius) will make a short presentation (10 minutes) plus an additional 5-7 minutes conversation about their work thus far. Here’s a bit more about the event. https://weblearning.co.za/blog/2023/04/05/pedagogy-catalysts/

That was a good initial #OE4BW meeting with Vicky and Waaiza. The charter allowed them to decide what they were wanting from this arrangement. I put on some Mozart, and we each worked on a the H%P charter independently. Perhaps could have done a shared doc? I had created another resource on padlet, to help us get know each other better, shake things up, spark new thoughts, and collect examples of our mutual capabilities' Didn't use it.

Looking forwards to meeting Vicky today. Great to be involved with #OE4BW again. Will be launching with a "mentorship charter" See https://weblearning.co.za/blog/2023/01/10/mentorship-charter/

@sheilmcn Hope the workshop went well? I’m having fun preparing for my first #OE4BW meeting with my assigned developer.

Pleased to be asked to participate in Open Education for a Better World (#OE4BW) in 2023, in my third cycle, as a mentor. In between cycle two and three, I contributed to a PLOS piece about mentorship “Ten simple rules for establishing a mentorship programme” - https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010015. Looking forward to reviewing these 10 ideas, before entering into this complex, collaborative and interactive process with my mentee.

@mackiwg Thank you once again. Happy to contribute and help. As I love H5P and I proudly call myself #H5Pian 😃
Recently did a course (#learn2h5p) too specifically for Moodle users - "Creating H5P - Interactive Content in Moodle" as part of my #OE4BW project.
