The Open Education has been running for almost 2 years now and during that time we have:

• Published 146 posts on the blog including 27 Around the World country posts
• Gained 1408 followers on our Twitter feed
• Attracted 415 people to our mailing list
• Created an Open Education Time Line
• Appointed an advisory board
• Been involved in events, activities and highlighted new projects
• Collaboratively written an Open Education Handbook

Later this month I will be moving on from Open Knowledge (you can read more about where I am going on my personal blog) and will be stepping down from the post of Working Group Co-ordinator.

Paul Bacsich (responsible for POERUP and other OER projects) will be taking on the role of Co-ordinator. He will be supported by Elena Stojanovska from the Center for Local Initiatives in Macedonia (writer of Open Education Macedonia) and by Javiera Atenas, Project Manager, Management Science and Innovation at University College London (who has been working on Using Open Data as Open Educational Resources).

If you are interested in helping the team lead the working group then email Paul on paul.bacsich@sero.co.uk

I have thoroughly enjoyed setting up and co-ordinating the Open Education Working Group and want to send my thanks to everyone who has been involved! I wish Paul, Elena and Javiera the best of luck and will follow the group’s progress with interest!
