Open Educational Resources (OER)

Register for the 2024 Open Education Talks!

We are excited to announce the third annual offering of The Open Education Talks, first offered in 2022 as The Open Pedagogy Talks, a series of lightning talks focusing on open education in postsecondary institutions. These 15-minute talks will be about facets of open education, including open pedagogy and learning, utilizing open educational resources, and integrating open strategies in higher education.

These talks aim to create an accessible, virtual space to engage in conversations about open education. For these talks, we share our understanding of open education from the UNESCO Cape Town Declaration:

“…open education is not limited to just open educational resources. It also draws upon open technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible learning and the open sharing of teaching practices that empower educators to benefit from the best ideas of their colleagues'' (UNESCO Cape Town Declaration, 2018).

Schedule and Topics:

Every Wednesday in March 2024 from 12:00 pm - 1:30pm MT, speakers talks will fall within the following topics:

• March 06, 2024: Open Education in STEM
• March 13, 2024: Course Design and Open Learning Design
• March 20, 2024: Collaborative Open Education
• March 27, 2024: The Future of Open Education
