International Open Education Week
Open Education Week is a celebration of the global Open Education Movement. Its goal is to raise awareness about the movement and its impact on teaching and learning worldwide. Join the Teaching & Learning Centre, Library, Faculty of Education, and the UOIT Student Union as we host a series of drop-in sessions to introduce the UOIT community to OPEN.
Drop in to one, two, or all three sessions. Faculty, staff, and students welcome!
International Open Education Week at UOIT has been generously sponsored by a grant from eCampus Ontario.

Why Open Education Week?
- Faculty, students, and staff are interested in discussing and exploring open practices
- Uncertainty exists about open's potential and possibilities
- Solutions are needed for students who are not purchasing books
- Openness fits with UOIT's concept of "tech with a conscience"
