We are looking forward to welcome you in Galway, when the OER Conference will focus on the following themes:

• Back to basics – asking difficult questions about open education:
  • Why open?
  • Open for whom?
  • Whose interests are served?
  • In what ways has the open agenda been appropriated, and what are the implications of this?
• The geopolitics of open education, bringing open in from the periphery
• The open ecosystem: How is open education part of the broader ecosystem of “opens”?
• What does it mean to illuminate open by considering context?
• How can historical perspectives contribute to understanding the issues faced in the open education movement today?
• Links between critical digital literacies, critical data literacies, and openness
• What open business models are emerging? What are the paths to sustainability?
• What are the risks and challenges to the open education agenda?
