This follows on from the first NREN educational technologies workshop held at TNC19 in June.

Focussing on specialised topics, we would like to discuss possibilities for future collaborations, challenges and good practices. Topics will include: joint procurement for LMS, Digital Learning Environment, eduID – MyAcademicID, learning analytics, open educational resources…etc. During the workshop we will discuss the collaboration on MyAcademic ID, the micro credentialing progress, the possibility for cloud procurement and more use cases.
