Theme
The theme of the 2023 Open Education Conference is “Innovation and Praxis: Building on 20 Years of Community.” As this year will mark the 20th annual gathering of the Open Education Conference community, it is an exciting time to reflect on the progress that has been made in the field of open education and to celebrate the many innovations and successes of the past two decades.
This year’s conference will acknowledge how far open education has come and also look to the future, recognizing that there is much work still to be done to promote equity, accessibility, and inclusivity in education. As we continue to discover the potential of open education, it is important to recognize the ongoing challenges facing the field, including a persistent digital divide, rising costs of education, and the need to ensure that open education reaches more learners and communities while maintaining quality of education.
By focusing on innovation and praxis, the 2023 Open Education Conference seeks to bring together educators, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to share their experiences and perspectives, collaborate on solutions, and advance the cause of open education. Whether you are a longstanding member of the open education community, new to the field, or somewhere in between, we invite you to join us for this exciting event and be part of shaping the future of open education.
