A guide to open educational resources - Link

This guide explains open educational resources (OER) and the benefits that creating, sharing and using OER can provide.

Open educational resources (OER) are learning and teaching materials, freely available online for anyone to use. I have attached the link to this entry for your perusal.

Sydney Facilitators Network - September meeting - Monday 9

The next meeting of the Sydney Facilitators Network will be held on Monday 9 September:

“Speed Mentoring with Sharon McGann” | Monday September 9, 2013 | 5.30 pm

"A community of practice involves sharing what we know about what works and how we do what we do. This session is an opportunity for experienced and new facilitators to get together and share war stories and ask curious questions. The process will be a variation on the popular speed dating / speed networking processes, with a focus on sharing knowledge and wisdom.

 

If you are an experienced facilitator, come along and bring an example of a challenging facilitation – one that was new, exciting or difficult. Think about how you prepared for and facilitated the session and what the outcomes were for the client.

If you are a new facilitator, come along with two or three questions about facilitation, things you’re curious about but didn’t know who or how to ask.

Also bring at least 10 business cards or equivalent.

 

You will have an opportunity to meet and talk with a number of colleagues during the course of the high-energy evening and ideally you will walk away with new contacts to bounce ideas off.

Sharon McGann

The session will be facilitated by our Sydney Facilitators’ Network co-convenor Sharon McGann. Sharon is an experienced facilitator who runs strategic and business facilitations for corporate, not for profit and government clients."
