The winners over 10 years have been a driving force for the Open Education community. They have set the bar of excellence so very high and have shown us just what is possible … We wanted to find out from these award winners if the awards they received had a similar impact on their work and how.
We approached 10 years of winners and asked them what impact the awards had on their careers … and where they are now!
The OEAwards (2013, 2014) made me a visible and dominant educator in Taiwan. Utilizing the visibility and influence, I initiated a series of efforts to improve science education in high schools. This year (2021) the efforts are recognized by the most prestigious National Excellent Teacher Award in Taiwan.

The project focused on creating and implementing an Arithmetic MOOC. I taught several sessions of the class offered to hundreds of students all around the world.
