Open Education Week at USask
March 4, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - March 8, 2024 @ 11:30 pm BST
A series of in-person events and sessions for USask instructors on Open Education
Since USask began the campaign to support Open Education in the fall of 2014, USask students have saved more than $5,000,000 through instructors supporting and adopting Open Educational Practices (OEP). In most cases, this has come from instructors switching from commercial textbooks to Open Educational Resources (OER), primarily open textbooks. Each year a growing number of USask instructors choose to integrate open pedagogy activities in their courses, where students are the creators of learning content instead of simply consumers of it.
Open Education Week highlights our USask instructors, staff, and students sharing their stories and accomplishments from open textbook creation and a new book launch, how to engage and build OER with on campus supports, to making the move to include OEP as part of curriculum renewal.
