by Liz Tolman 2 years, 6 months ago
This year's theme, "The Labor of Open Education," invites participants to reflect on the work, creativity, art, and science of open education 20 years since UNESCO adopted the term "open educational resources" in 2002. With its origins in social justice and motivation to achieve equity in access, participation, and attainment for students and practitioners, open education has required significant work and commitment.
In 2022, as higher education has become more comfortable with the digital universe and the pandemic becomes endemic, it is time to examine the labor of open education. This year's conference will explore the people and passion behind the success of OER over the last two decades.
