This is my favorite week in education. Every day during Global Open Education Week is filled with fantastic events– some in-person, some online, and some hybrid- that last bit includes our own OER workshop/information session: Reduce Student Costs, Boost Success: Open Resources for the Win (we will be presenting on both Tuesday, March 4th at 3:00 and Friday March 7th at 3:00. Along with our event (during which we will cover how to find OERs, navigating our OER libguide, and open pedagogy as a whole), there are well over 200 other events around the world happening in celebration of this week. Below are some that can be attended online, and might be of interest:
