Theme
This year’s theme “It’s About Time” captures the essence of open education's dynamic evolution, a cycle of learning from the past, seizing the present, and aiming for a more open future. In an era marked by emerging technologies and shifting educational landscapes, this conference serves as a nexus for igniting discussions, forging partnerships, and sparking new ideas. It’s about time to empower learners everywhere to be creators, contributors, and critical thinkers in their educational journeys. It’s about time to challenge conventional boundaries and explore new horizons to build a future where education is truly open, inclusive, and transformative for all. It’s about time for #OpenEd24.
