Lin’s suggestion:
From Open Educational Practices to Social Justice: Making the Leap
Open Education is about more than opening resources, it is also about opening pedagogy but what does that mean? What does open education have to do with social justice? Do we believe that education is about leveling the playing field, and at its best addresses issues of injustice, privilege and exclusion? Are open education practices, at their core, about access, equity, innovation and creativity? If so, how is the open education movement embodying those values?
Join a panel to discuss the broad impact of open educational practices. How are these practices living up to their potential, and how are they failing to do so? Can open education help provide a more equitable future where a multitude of diverse voices are heard and respected? Librarians are key contributors in the open education movement as an extension of their historical roles to provide safe places of learning that are open and available to all, or is that traditional role a myth? Let’s discuss.
3. Festival of Learning (submission deadline is Dec.11th) – Lin & Caroline
May 28 – 30

Lin & Caroline suggest:
Open and Private: Dichotomy or Roommates (who get along)
What should be open and what should be private? How do we encourage students to work in the open while keeping them safe in Cyberville? How do we help them develop their ability to make meaningful contributions to their disciplines and avoid having their privacy hacked? How do we encourage open practices and respect choices that people make for a myriad of reasons?
4.. Open Education Week collaborations (March 5 – 9) ALL
