Open Education week is a celebration of the global Open Education Movement and its impact on teaching, learning and research. Alongside similar awareness-raising events worldwide, join York St John's Technology Enhanced Learning Team and Librarians from Information Learning Services from 7-11 March for an online, bite-sized course: ‘5 days of Open Education: what, why, how?’

Each day, a new blog post on a specific aspect of Open Education will be delivered to your inbox. You will be encouraged to complete short tasks to demonstrate your awareness and understanding of the topic, earning an ‘Open Education Enthusiast’ open badge for your efforts! The course can be completed at your own pace, should require no more than 20-30 minutes per day and will address such topics as:

• What is Open Education and why is it important?

• The ‘what’, ‘why’ and ‘where’ of Open Educational Resources (OERs)

• Creative Commons Licensing: know your SA from your ND!
