KlasCement, a success story as OER network (11:00 - 11:50 )
You'll see KlasCement presented as a search engine for (open) educational resources and as a social network. We explain our success factors by giving some good examples of content, communication, technology and strategy. You'll be inspired to improve your OER-network and to engage your users more. How did KlasCement become so popular? Is this only possible in Flanders?

Policies supporting OER implementation OER & Copyright (12:00 - 12:50 )
I will highlight the importance of policies as support mechanisms for introduction of open education and OER. I will describe basic policies supporting OER implementation, and complimentary policies concerning copyright for education.
We will talk about OER policies from two perspectives: educational goals and copyright reform goals.
We'll talk about limitations of such an approach, which will be successful only if met by activity from the teachers, school administrators, etc. I will use examples of OER developments from Poland and other European countries.

Lunch (13:00 - 13:50)
Reusing Repurposing Repackaging Working with OER (14:00 - 14:50)
