Open Education Week is a celebration of the global Open Education movement. It aims to raise awareness and showcase the impact of Open Education on teaching and learning worldwide.
Celebrate Open Education Week with the University Libraries Open Educational Resources (OER) Leads, and fellow CU Boulder educators, by joining us on March 2, 2020 for a virtual workshop with esteemed open educator Rajiv Jhangiani, PhD.
Beyond Free: Supporting Social Justice through Open Educational Practices
March 2, 2020 in Norlin Library Room N410
Livestream presentation 2:00–3:00 p.m., followed by discussion 3:00–3:30 p.m.
During this interactive, online workshop, we will explore the impact of Open Educational Practices on access, affordability, and innovation in higher education. We will consider how educators can move beyond merely making use of free resources, saving students money, leveraging the affordances of open licensing, and transforming teaching and learning. This workshop will showcase a wide range of practices that support both equitable access and pedagogical innovation. Light refreshments will be served.
