About the webcast

The open education movement has grown dramatically in recent years. Much of this growth is due to the increasing availability of innovative open educational resources, programs and initiatives spanning multiple institutions. This webcast will explore the challenges of these types of initiatives as well as their potential to affect a large number of students and make ‘open’ the default in education.

Speakers:

• Michelle Reed, Open Education Librarian, University of Texas at Arlington Libraries
• Mark McBride, Library Senior Strategist, State University of New York System Administration
• Amanda Coolidge, Senior Manager, Open Education, BCcampus
• Grace Atkins, Outreach and Open Education Librarian, University of Missouri Libraries
