Ooo - thanks to @npub1ajt…hf95 for the pointer to this! https://yewtu.be/watch?v=byn3cYsmoSk or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byn3cYsmoSk - #BigBlueButton 3 brings the ability to embed #H5P learning objects into video conference content which is very cool for instructional use cases! I honestly can't believe that *any* education provider still uses Zoom or (**shudders) MS Teams/Google Meet for this stuff.

Wondering if any of my fellow #edtech practitioners are interested in trying a new #Fediverse offering - we've got an instance of a cool social media system (reminiscent of Reddit, but a Fedi app), PieFed (more info: https://join.piefed.social) - https://link.fossdle.org ... Let me know (via DM if you like) if you'd like to give it a test drive!

I've just updated the list of (exclusively) #libre services the OER Foundation (for whom I work) makes available to educators, learners, governments, and the general public: https://tech.oeru.org/updating-oer-foundation-web-services-july-2024 It's a substantial number of very powerful services, and they're *very* cost effective to run.

I've just written this: https://tech.oeru.org/foss-libresoftware-its-about-clarity-and-values to explain why I've adopted the term #LibreSoftware over #FOSS or #OpenSource to talk about the *non-proprietary* software about which I'm passionate.
