George Siemens and David Wiley Join Forces for a MOOC About Open Education - Manuela Ekowo, EdSurge

This October, two open education pioneers are teaming up to pilot a new edX course titled “Introduction to Open Education” with hopes to amplify and answer some of these questions. George Siemens, professor and education technology researcher at the University of Texas at Arlington, and David Wiley, co-founder and chief academic officer at OER company Lumen Learning, will lead the free course that aims to introduce graduate students (though anyone with internet access can take the classes) to open education, and how the field has evolved. The six-week long MOOC will touch on topics including open educational resources (OER), open pedagogy and practice, open knowledge and open research.  https://www.edsurge.com/news/2017-08-23-george-siemens-and-david-wiley-join-forces-for-a-mooc-about-open-education
