Hi everyone, The annual OER conference and the Domains conference are teaming up for 2021, into #OERxDomains21<https://oer21.oerconf.org/> in April! I personally have never been to the OER conference b/c it’s held in the UK and I haven’t been travelling much lately (even before the pandemic), and I’m excited to join this great combination of conferences online. I thought some of you might be interested as well. Below is more information and a link to the call for proposals—proposals are due Jan. 31.
