Final Thoughts
We are in the final part of the project now, this week we issued all completers with their #Openteach badge, through the Badgr open badge platform.
The last year working on the #Openteach project has been an inspirational and exciting experience. We hope to continue on the work of the project with another run of the course in summer 2020 and the creation of an open textbook of the #Openteach course…watch this space and keep in touch.
