We are excited to announce the second annual offering of The Open Education
Talks<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2F…amp;reserved=0>,
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.
The purpose of these talks is to create an accessible, virtual space to engage in
conversations about open education. We encourage talks that are student-led or otherwise
showcase the important role of student-educator collaborations in open education, and
welcome proposals from educators, students, administrators, librarians, instructional
designers, and all other roles related to the design, delivery, and evaluation of open
education in postsecondary institutions.
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).
Interested speakers are invited to submit a proposal for a 15-minute talk that falls under
the umbrella of one of the following topics:
* Exploring Open Education:: These talks focus on the facets of open education, why it
has been impactful in higher education, and examples in higher education.
* Open Learning Design: These talks focus on integrating open learning principles into
current and future program and course designs.
* Creating Open Educational Resources: These talks focus on creating, identifying,
using, and sharing open educational resources in higher education.
* Open Scholarship and Research Practices: These talks focus on how educators and
learners integrate open research into their courses and scholarship of teaching and
learning practices.
Important Dates:
* Proposal Deadline: December 10, 2022
* Speakers Notified: January 10, 2023
* Registration Open: February 1, 2023
Talks Schedule: Every Wednesday in March, 2023 at 12:30 PM MST
