Take part in Open EdTech
Open EdTech relies on your feedback to help guide proposals, and your feedback to help validate EdTech in the field.
Questions, teaching experience, testing, research, translation and documentation can all help shape what comes next.
Start here
Join the chat
Our conversation happens in a Matrix room, #oet-general:openedtech.social. It is public to read. To post you need a Matrix account on any Matrix server; the link below will offer to create one if you do not have one. Introduce yourself in the room when you arrive.
Attend a meeting
Open meetings will be held as the work develops. No meeting is currently announced. When one is scheduled it will be posted in News and in the Matrix room, with the date, time zone, agenda and how to join.
Subscribe to News to hear about the next one.
Ways to contribute
- Learners: explain needs, describe friction in current tools and take part in suitable testing opportunities.
- Educators and mentors: critique learning scenarios, contribute teaching approaches and help evaluate proposed assistance.
- Researchers: bring evidence, identify unanswered questions and help design evaluations.
- Developers and designers: explore interfaces, interoperability, accessibility and usable prototypes.
- Organisations: describe practical requirements and discuss possible pilots or integrations.
- Community contributors: improve documentation, translate, welcome newcomers and help organise conversations.
For any of these, the first step is the same: say hello in the Matrix room and tell us what you would like to work on. There is no active pilot, working group or public repository yet; those will be announced in News as they start.
