Universidad Politécnica de Madrid hosts e-Madrid 2023
The eMadrid seminar on «Digital Competencies of University Teachers for Open Education» took place on Friday, February 24th, in Madrid, Spain.
One of three presenters, the executive director of OEGlobal, Andreia Inamorato, presented her paper «Digital Competences for Open Education» at the seminar. Hosted at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), the seminar is part of the regular events of the eMadrid Network, a project promoted by the six universities of Madrid (UC3M, UAM, UCM, URJC, UPM, and UNED) that is focused on the development and promotion of e-learning and digital education in the region.
Having the new OEGlobal ED present at this seminar was an excellent opportunity to re-energize the relationship between OEGlobal and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).
In fact, the e-Madrid seminar lead to a live session during OE Week 2023 where the same group discussed Competencias Digitales en Educación Abierta.
As one of the initial founding members of OEGlobal, UPM has been a critical open education collaborator and advocate partner over the last 11 years.
