OpenCon Cleveland is an annual event that celebrates the benefits of open education to student learning. Faculty, students, librarians, instructional designers, and administrators are all welcome to attend our virtual conference. This event is free, and, although the format looks a bit different this year, the OpenCon committee has prepared a conference that provides flexibility and engagement opportunities.
This year, we’re making some big changes in light of our move to a two-day virtual conference.
- Our event begins on Thursday, May 13, when attendees will view lightning talks at their leisure via our Slack channel. Conference attendees are also encouraged to participate in asynchronous discussions via Slack.
- On Friday, May 14 the conference will shift to synchronous discussion in our three live panel events via Zoom and participants can ask questions of the speakers. A keynote presentation given by Regina Gong will take place at 2:30 PM CDT.
- Our focus will be on open pedagogy, social justice, and supporting remote learning.
