Theme & Topics

The theme of the 2024 Open Education Conference is “It’s About Time.” This phrase captures the essence of open education's dynamic evolution, which calls on us to learn from the past, seize the opportunities of the present, and build a future where education is truly open, inclusive and transformative for all.

• Student Centered Practice, Pedagogy, and Resources
