Description
GO-GN started as an initiative from the UNESCO Chair in OER at the Dutch Open Universiteit, in collaboration with the UNESCO / COL Chair in OER at Athabasca University (Canada). It is currently funded through the OER programme of The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and administered by the Open Education Research Hub from the Institute of Educational Technology at The Open University, UK.
In summary the goals of the GO-GN are to substantially expand the OER research base; achieve this expansion mainly through good quality PhD trajectories; find these PhD trajectories distributed among universities in a variety of societies in the different continents around the world (global balance); connect the research projects and researchers through a global learning network; and provide free and easy access to the generated knowledge through papers, conference presentations, dissertations, as well as reports and publications for a broader audience.
The aim of this presentation is to introduce the GO-GN (http://go-gn.net) to OER16 attendees and invite all to join us, as PhD researchers, experts in OER/open education or just friends.
