OERu has launched it's on Mastodon instance. In an email Wayne Mackintosh writes, " We are excited to announce the launch of mastodon.oeru.org - OERu's own social network to support learners and the wider OERu family. For information on how to sign up on mastodon.oeru.org, please consult the OERu support site." Mastodon is an open source social network application that creates a distributed network of instances (instead of a commercialized central service like Twitter). "This raises exciting opportunities for OERu partners to host their own instances (we openly publish the technical recipes on how to do this)," says the In the OERu newsletter account. " The OERu platform is demonstrating the value of these technologies to support learning with the ability to integrate posts which contain the course code hashtag (for example #LiDA101) in the course feed on the OERu course site."
