This online conference is presented using OULive (the OU synchronous discussion platform - a bespoke version of Blackboard Collaborate).

- Professor Patrick McAndrew, Director, Institute of Educational Technology, The Open University UK.

- Professor Martin Weller, Institute of Educational Technology, The Open University UK.
The conference sessions will be held in OU Live in February 2017 (times given are UK time i.e. GMT):

The programme can be found below, including links to the abstract pages of the students' presentation, upon which you are invited to ask questions or make comments - these may be answered by the student on their page directly, or may be answered during their presentation itself.
Access to the conference sessions is limited to H818 participants, MA ODE students, alumni and staff, and IET staff. If you fall into one of these categories and would like to register for the conference, please complete the form here https://goo.gl/forms/bDZjtwXrPNZwdSmF2 (opens in new window).
