SUMMARY:Leading the Way: How NorQuest Became an Open Education Leader
DESCRIPTION:Open Education at NorQuest College has changed dramatically since 2016\, when we first began encouraging faculty to incorporate open images into their online courses. What started as a small initiative has expanded into a major campus initiative. \n  \nOur Reimagine Higher Education plan positioned NorQuest as a world leader in open education\, with ambitious goals: publishing 15 open textbooks by 2030\, hosting the Open Education Global 2023 conference\, and becoming a textbook-cost-free institution by the end of the decade. \n  \nWe are not only meeting these goals—we’re surpassing them. \n  \nIn a panel discussion with open stakeholders at NorQuest\, we will explore the impact of open education at our college and speculate on next steps in our open journey.

SUMMARY:Keeping Learning Open in an Era of Censorship
DESCRIPTION:Open Education has evolved from a focus on textbook savings to a broader movement for advancing social justice. In today’s geopolitical climate\, it can also serve as a form of resistance—challenging political narratives and restrictions. \n  \nIn this session from Norquest College\, we will explore censorship threats to Open Education. Conversely\, we will also speculate on how Open Education can undermine information controls and help sustain access to knowledge.
