Session Title: Promoting Openness in Higher Education: Which Way Now?

Time & Date: 11:50 A.M. – 12:35 P.M., Thursday, June 18, 2009

Location: Rm. 260, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC)

Session Description: This roundtable discussion will review strategies for the promotion of open education practices and open educational resources (OERs). The intent of the session is to map existing resources and approaches, to identify challenges, and to articulate directions for future development. Technical, policy, teaching and learning considerations will all be up for discussion. While surveying the open educational movement will account for its international dimensions, there will be special emphasis on the Canadian context.
