We Are CC-BY Your Side from The Creative Commons Global Summit in Toronto
The CN Tower makes Toronto look like it’s always got its hand up, wanting to share a thought or ask a question. This helps to make Toronto a very fitting setting for an event all about sharing. Virtually Connecting will be coming to you from the Creative Commons 2017 Global Summit in Toronto, Canada on April 28-30, 2017.
We are excited to offer six opportunities to connect virtually to the event and converse with the people at the #CCSummit. We have onsite buddies Alan Levine, Helen DeWaard, Alek Tarkowski, Rajiv Jhangiani, Jenni Hayman and Terry Greene connecting you through virtual buddies Christian Friedrich, Ken Bauer, Joe Murphy, and maybe Christina Hendricks (TBA session).
Virtually Connecting sessions allow virtual participants to engage in conversations with onsite participants – it’s mostly informal, like a conference hallway chat.
If you’re interested in joining any of the Virtually Connecting sessions, please sign up using this form or you can tweet us @vconnecting or leave a comment below.

This is a VC hangout within an onsite session about charting the future of pedagogy and technology within the context of open. The presenters (Aria and Tom onsite, Jesse and Kris virtually) see this session as an explicit call to action to mobilize our efforts and realize the potential of open education at scale; thus, they are asking for robust in-person and virtual participation for a diversity of voices and perspectives. Virtual participants can also contribute via Twitter using #oecharter throughout the day and during the session.

Part of what makes VConnecting special is the spontaneity – onsite guests may have to join us a little later than scheduled or leave early. Onsite guests are usually only available for 20-3o mins, but virtual participants can keep going if they wish to.
