SPARC invites you to participate in an interactive listening session for the Open Education National Priorities Process, a collaborative effort to develop advocacy priorities and action plans for open education in the U.S. for the next three years. The session will begin with a brief overview of the process, invite discussion and brainstorming about the challenges facing education today and where openness fits in, and conclude with optional breakout discussions to dive deeper. Output from the session will inform a national conversation that continues throughout the fall. 

This session is hosted by SPARC in collaboration with the Open Education Association.
