Open Education Talks- Utilizing GenAI and Technology in Supporting OE and OER
Wed March 11, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm GMT

Open Education Talks is a series of 15-minute lightning talks and digital posters about facets of open education. These talks aim to create an accessible, virtual space for conversations about open education. We welcome proposals from educators, students, administrators, librarians, instructional designers, and all other roles related to the design, delivery, and evaluation of open education in post-secondary institutions. We encourage student-led or partnered talks that showcase the critical role of student leadership and student-educator collaborations in open education.
