General Agenda
1. Promoting OER at your institution
A few members of the OEC Consortium will present their approaches to promoting OER use at their institutions, highlighting successes, challenges and the evolution of their strategies. We invite all members to share their ideas and questions during the discussion following the short presentations.
Short presentations on 17 September will feature speakers from the University of Cape Town, South Africa and National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan.

2. OER State of the Field report
The OE Consortium is compiling surveys and other reports that have investigated OER production, adoption, use, awareness and attitudes. We plan to produce a State of the Field report that will provide an at-a-glance overview of open education. We will discuss our approach and goals, and would like your feedback, suggestions and help.
3. Demo of the Open Education Professional Directory
The Open Education Professional Directory provides a browsable index of open education professionals around the world. We will give a quick demo of the directory, followed by time for feedback and questions.
4. Update on Open MOOCs through edX
Our pilot courses are underway and are open for registration at https://www.edx
