Planning for Open Education Week
March 27-31, 2017 is Open Education Week! Open Education Week (#openeducationweek) is an awareness raising event meant to highlight the efforts of institutions and individuals who work to increase the missions of open education worldwide. Quite a few of you have recently asked us how to best use Open Education Week (OEW site) to promote awareness on your campus. Three ways that colleges can participate in Open Education Week (OEW):
- Organize one or more local activities (speaker, workshop, student reception) on campus during OEW to create open education awareness. There are promotional materials that can be downloaded and customized from the OEW site (banners, posters, slide templates). Optional but recommended: submit these local events to the OEW site and let your colleagues around the country know what you are doing. (Organizers might include library, prof dev dept, teaching & learning centers, student services)
- Share the OEW online activities and resources with your campus . Organize a brown bag lunch or faculty meet-up around a webinar submitted to the Open Education Week calendar. Facilitate informal discussions on open education before and after. (CCCOER will be holding two webinars: (March 28 @1pmEST, March 29@1pm EST).
- Submit resources to the OEW site from your college e.g. short videos, infographs, case studies that showcase your OER adoptions and degrees (due end-of-February). Colleges can also submit their own branded webinars to the OEW site and share their OER programs/pilots. CCCOER will be happy to market your webinars and share archives. These showcases will remain on the OEW site for an entire year.
Open Education Week is coordinated by the The Open Education Consortium, an association of hundreds of institutions and organizations around the world that are committed to the ideals of open education. Universities, colleges, schools and organizations from all over the world have come together to showcase what they’re doing to make education more open, free, and available to everyone. Promotional materials available.
