Open Educational Resources (OER) and the pedagogical practices permitted by their use continue to grow in potential to improve the educational experiences of our students, from drastically reducing the cost burden associated with course materials to directly involving students in the generation of knowledge. As educators and administrators across Arizona demonstrate increasing interest in the global open education community, the opportunity to forge meaningful cross-institutional connections related to open education has emerged.
The conference this year will be completely virtual and span from late January to early March, ending with the global celebration of Open Education Week 2021. Early registrants will have the opportunity to showcase a project or point of discussion in a dedicated space where other participants will be encouraged to contribute in ongoing asynchronous discussions extending beyond the event itself, which will also feature a series of guest speakers, seminars, and workshops.
Coming Soon! Event Code of Conduct, Showcase Specifics, and Connect Conversations
