Join Georgia State University for our 4th annual Open Education Week Celebration, where professionals and students unite with the common purpose to learn and share insights about open and affordable education. The free Open for Student Success Symposium will take place online Wednesday, March 4, from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM CDT.
Our distinguished keynote speaker this year will be Josh Bolick, Head of the David Shulenburger Office of Scholarly Communication & Copyright at the University of Kansas (KU). With Maria Bonn and Will Cross, Josh co-edited Scholarly Communication Librarianship and Open Knowledge (ACRL, 2023) and co-founded the Scholarly Communication Notebook (SCN). A former presenter for the Open Education Network and OER Research Fellow, he advocates for open access, authors’ rights, open education, and issues related and is interested in OER as a vehicle for expanding scholarly communication knowledge and expertise. In his keynote speech, “Open but Not Finished: What We’ve Won and the Work Ahead”, Bolick will summarize the shift to open, examine emerging and lingering challenges, and consider how the Open Movement can continue progress toward a more open research and teaching culture.
In addition to the keynote speech, the symposium will feature presentations by 22 professionals from nine U.S. states, along with Canada and Mexico. A full list of sessions can be found here.
