Choosing National Priorities for Open Education
This fall, the Open Education Association is inviting the field to collaboratively select national priorities for open education advocacy. The process will focus on identifying challenges facing higher education today where openness is part of the solution but is not yet a large enough part of the conversation. By connecting our national priorities to those of leaders and policymakers, open education can have an even greater impact in the years ahead.
The process kicks off with a webinar on August 12 and will continue throughout the fall with a series of listening sessions and open calls for input, coordinated with networks and communities across the field. The process culminates at an in-person National Summit on November 10-12, where representatives from across the country will finalize a set of priorities based on the field’s input. After the summit, a synthesis will be reported out and everyone will be invited to collaborate on plans to advance the national priorities over the next three years.
