Open Education in ‘Practice’

Overview:

While the knowledge and use of open educational practices (OEP) continues to grow in the educational sector, there is no singular roadmap for making marked impact through the application of its resources and methodologies. How might one know, then, where to turn to discover how to leverage (and contribute to) this joint, global effort rooted in principles of social justice and designed to enhance student achievement and promote lifelong learning?

Outcomes:

At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to

  • determine ways to make an impact through open education practices at their institution(s),
  • plan how to integrate existing open educational practices into current operational infrastructure, and
  • contribute their discoveries and best practices back to the open education community.

Open

Open education involves creating and/or utilizing existing teaching and learning materials that are freely available to all users—without the restrictions of proprietary systems (and otherwise oppressive structures designed to favor certain groups over others) that, ultimately, limit the sharing of academic content and data.

Education

Education contributes to the social and economic evolution of humanity, and by openly sharing our resources, research, and practices, we not only open the doors of education to our local community, but to communities across the globe.
