Open Education Professional Directory
We have had a great response to the Open Education Professional Directory. Thank you to all of you who have submitted your information. We are in the final stages of developing the interface for the directory, which we will launch very soon. Check the home page of our website for an announcement, and join the Quarterly Membership Meeting for a demo. The purpose of the Open Education Professional Directory is to provide a consolidated list of experienced professionals in open open education.
