HI EVERYONE,

We are excited to announce that Open Ed Jam has been revamped! It is now
called* Libre Learn Lab* and will be hosted at MIT's Sloan School of
Management on Oct 8th & 9th, 2016. This year's theme is "From Play to
Policy" which we think will bring in great sessions, workshops and panels.
Check out the new website! www.librelearnlab.org

*"Libre Learn Lab is a binannual two-day summit at the Tang Center in the
Sloan School of Management at MIT in Boston, Massachusetts on October 8th
and 9th 2016 for people who create and implement freely licensed resources
for education, bringing together educators, policy experts, software
developers, hardware hackers, and activists to share best practices and
address the challenges of widespread adoption of these resources in
education."*
