Open Education Week
Open Education Week is a global event that seeks to raise awareness of free and open sharing in education and the benefits they bring to teachers and learners. Coordinated by the Open Education Consortium, the event showcases projects, resources, and ideas from around the world that demonstrate open education in practice. The open education movement seeks to reduce barriers, increase access and drive improvements in education through open sharing and digital formats. Open education includes free and open access to platforms, tools and resources in education, including learning materials, course materials, videos, assessment tools, research, study groups, and textbooks, all available for free use and modification under an open license.
Skyline College joins hundreds of higher education institutions and associated organizations around the world in celebrating Open Education Week every year as part of our Zero-Textbook Cost program. This year, Skyline & SMCCCD will celebrate Open Education Week of March 6th -10th, 2023.
Join us for a week of activities that increase awareness for students and faculty and celebrate textbook affordability for all! Event information and Open Educational Resources are available at SMCCCD #OEW2023.
