Sessions will focus on open education initiatives, projects, and programs related to: * 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. Talks Schedule: Every Wednesday in March 2024 at 12:00 PM MST. Please see the website<https://oetalks.opened.ca/> for an updated schedule. Registration: Please register here<https://ucalgary.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJctf-Cprj0tGtASwH-9lG4rR7y7OXQrS…> any time!
