Share, Connect, Collaborate, and Renew<\/span><\/h2>\n

OTESSA25 in Victoria, BC<\/b>\u00a0convenes a scholarly community to examine the complexities introduced by technology and open practice in education, society, and academia. Hosted at the University of Victoria, this gathering promotes inquiry and exchange among researchers, professionals, students, librarians, policymakers, and educators. Designated sessions will focus on refining prospective publications and collaborative ventures.<\/p>\n

Following two days of conference sessions, participants will be invited to co-plan 1-2 days of land-based activities depending on the desires of attendees. These will be important times of less formal networking, support, and relationship building in the natural environment around Victoria.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Professor Emeritus<\/strong>
Department of Workforce Education and Instructional\u00a0Technology<\/a>, <\/strong><\/p>\n

University of Georgia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thomas (Tom) C. Reeves, PhD is Professor Emeritus in the College of Education at The University of Georgia. He was a Fulbright Lecturer in Peru and has given invited presentations in the USA and more than 30 other countries. He is the former editor of the Journal of Interactive Learning Research, and the author of nearly 200 scholarly papers. His co-authored books include Interactive Learning Systems Evaluation, A Guide to Authentic E-Learning, Conducting Educational Design Research (two editions), MOOCs and Open Education Around the World, and MOOCs and Open Education in the Global South. His research interests encompass educational technology in developing countries, educational design research, medical and public health education, and prison education.

Reeves, Professor Emerita of Social Work at The University of Georgia, and their two West Highland Terriers, Zipper and Button.<\/p>\n

Dr. Reeves will join OTESSA virtually to discuss themes he has published on recently such as focusing our research and practical scholarship on problems and needs instead of things or tools. His keynote helps to frame our efforts in the Santa Fe colloquium to develop a strategic framework for research focused on grand challenges related to instructional design and educational technologies.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
