Date

Wednesday, August 13th, 2025

Time

2 pm ET / 11 am PT


This session will provide a broad introduction to open education, including its core principles, key terms, and historical development. We’ll discuss how open education connects to related movements such as open access and open science, and highlight its potential to remove barriers and expand opportunities for both students and educators. Participants will leave with a strong foundational understanding to support further learning, along with awareness of key tools and resources.

These sessions are open to anyone working in libraries, teaching, instructional design, or those simply curious about exploring this transformative topic. SPARC membership is NOT required, and our goal in this series is to support the wider community, particularly those at institutions with fewer resources to support open education work.

All sessions will be recorded and posted for those unable to attend live.
