Recorded on May 15, 2024, the discussion brings together edtech experts for an open, loosely structured generative conversation about the current state and future of open education.
The participants share what is on their minds, their anxieties, and their hopes regarding open education and innovations in teaching and learning. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, from the challenges of implementing open educational resources (OER) to the potential of new technologies to transform pedagogy.
While the video is part of a series on openness and higher education, this particular session stands out for its candid, exploratory format. The experts do not follow a rigid agenda, allowing the discussion to flow naturally into areas of greatest concern and excitement.
