Remote viewing of streamed sessions

A number of the sessions at this years conference will be streamed live. These are marked on the Programme as ‘Live Streamed’.

To view a live streamed session open the session details page. Each live streamed session page includes an embedded YouTube player. When the session is due to start click on the play button to see the stream. If you are having problems with the video player the YouTube official help is the best starting point.

Community led activity

Radio EDUtalk will be at #oer16 broadcasting throughout both days. You can follow broadcasts from http://www.edutalk.info/category/oer16/ and you can also find out about adding your own voice. We’ll also be having a Virtually Connecting session.

Getting ActionBound

Developed in Berlin, ActionBound is an app based treasure hunt / activity tool which allows participants to take part in “missions”, “quizzes” and other activities. Participants will be asked to take pictures, record videos, answer questions & even write a poem all around the theme of “open”. Our ‘Bounds’ have been masterfully created by Simon Thomson (@digisim) and you can find out more about how to getting involved.
