The Team
Open Edge is being put together by a small team of independent committed professionals working together to improve knowledge and connections in the growing Open Education space. The converging realities of Open Source Software, Open Access to content, and emergence of Open Learning and Open Pedagogy make this an exciting time. Our vision for this forum is to create a place for school leaders, practitioners and policy makers to come together to develop long term strategies for fostering open education in Australian schools.
