Open Education Talks 2023
Open Education Talks, March 2023
We are excited to announce the second 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 post-secondary institutions. The purpose of these talks is to create an accessible, virtual space to engage in conversations about open education. We encourage talks that showcase the important role of student-educator collaborations in open education. For these talks, we share our understanding of open education, which is 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). For more information about the Open Education Talks, please contact us at tandl@ucalgary.ca. Please feel free to share this invitation with your network. Thank you and we look forward to learning alongside you in this endeavour.
