SUMMARY:Open Education Conference - OER26
DESCRIPTION:Open education has always been both a practice and a proposition. It is grounded in commitments to access\, equity\, collaboration\, and the sharing of knowledge as a public good. Over decades\, these commitments have taken institutional form through open educational resources\, open practices\, open pedagogy\, open research\, open access publishing\, and global networks of collaboration. Openness has shaped learning systems\, expanded participation\, and redefined what education can be. \n\n\n\nOER26 invites delegates to reimagine and re-theorise openness while recognising the enduring ethos that has sustained the movement from its earliest days. \n\n\n\nHosted by the Institute of Educational Technology at The Open University (UK)\, widely recognised as one of the foundational institutions in the modern open education movement\, this event offers a distinctive space for reflection and renewal. Established in 1969 with a radical commitment to widening participation and removing barriers to higher education\, The Open University has long embodied the principle that education should be open to people\, places\, methods\, and ideas. Its history reminds us that openness represents and constitutes an ongoing\, transformative ethical and social commitment. Bringing the conference to this setting underscores both continuity and change: continuity in the enduring values of openness\, and change in the technological\, political\, and institutional environments in which those values are enacted.  \n\n\n\nOER26 will foster dialogue across disciplines and regions\, welcoming diverse interpretations of what openness means and what it might become. Our call for proposals welcomes contributions that explore how the ethos of openness is sustained\, challenged\, institutionalised\, or transformed in the current moment.  \n\n\n\nCo-Chairs \n\n\n\nDr Rob Farrow and Dr Beck Pitt\, from the Institute of Educational Technology at The Open University\, serve as co‑directors of the Global OER Graduate Network (GO‑GN). Their longstanding commitment to open education research\, community building\, and global collaboration brings a distinctive perspective to this year’s conference\, ensuring a programme that is both inclusive and forward‑looking. \n\n\n\nCall for Proposals \n\n\n\nSubmission Deadline: 13 AprilSubmission link:  https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/81712/submitterAll proposals will be reviewed by the programme committee\, and notifications will be sent following the review period. \n\n\n\nRegister
