I’m starting something new here and I did not even ask permission!
As a part of our interest in sharing more of what OEGlobal members are doing I (Alan Levine aka @cogdog) am taking on the challenge of traveling around the open education world (well through a web browser) to research what we can find of interest. Rabbit holing and serendipitous web link following is my passion as well as sharing discoveries.
This is less of formal project announcements and what our community shares in our events, and more of my own arm chair interest in web exploring. This is what can one find by traveling amongst the outputs of the OEGlobal community, just by wandering the open web networks (maybe with some guidance).
I do take suggestions! If know of a project, effort, interesting development, news site, going on that we should travel to, please send them our way via the cross posting of this (and future travels) in The Spotlight Area of OEG Connect.

Just replying for testing purposes… but I LOVE the idea!
That works well to post from the web site here. Maybe it should publish to the Spotlights area???
And just for fun and because I am experimenting with these things, I generated with DALL•E some images representing my usual avatar metaphor going on a journey
As a happy accident of testing the postings here, we already got a response from @BarbaraClass -on work in collaboration with @Enkerli and more, so maybe the travel bags will take a virtual booking to Switzerland for

This is again, and open call to anyone to share projects, news here in the OEG Spotlight area so more can see and we can share further.
Hello Alan, best wishes from Chile. Excited to share that the Instituto de Educación Abierta IEA (Open Education Institute), dependent of the Universidad Abierta de Recoleta UAR, was launched last week (see release note, in spanish). We will kick-off with a couple of initiatives that we have talked before related to K-12 Open Textbooks and off-line OER solutions. Recoleta is a traditional district (municipality) in the big Santiago area, and actually where I was raised, so very proud to give back in a very socio-economic vulnerable context. I’ll get back to you with more exciting news and progress. Best wishes to all!!
