Organised by the Association for Learning Technology [3] and Co-Chaired by the Global OER Graduate Network [4]. OER22 features over 80 sessions across the 3 days, including workshops, presentations and open spaces, highlighting both the value and limitations of Open Education in a (post) pandemic world. 

The programme showcases proposals submitted by the community looking at research, practice and policy within the following themes; 

• Theme 1: Pedagogy in a time of crisis - what does an ‘open’ response look like? 

• Theme 2: Open textbooks: making the most of their potential;

• Theme 3: Open in Action: open teaching, educational practises and resources; 

• Theme 4: Open research; scholarship or research around any aspect of open education; 

• Theme 5: Wildcard proposals that demonstrate fun and creative practice in relation to openness are very welcome. 

*Please note that the conference programme is subject to changes,
