Step 2: Reflect on the Symposium

Now that you have attended the Power of Openness Symposium (in person or online through the live stream), it is time for some reflection. What big ideas discussed at the symposium had the most impact on you? Which OERs did you find compelling? Did you learn something that you will be able to apply to your own practices? And finally–bottom line–Are you excited about Open Education or still skeptical about its potential?  Post your reactions to the Symposium below.

Once you have posted your responses below, the COERLL staff will award you a badge and send you a link to claim it. Your badge will be awarded to the email you use when posting your reply, so make sure you are using the same email associated with your Open Badge Backpack.
