OER18 turned the focus on one of the often-cited benefits of ‘open’ – the promise of inclusivity. How do the resources, methods and projects that make up Open Education support making education available to all? As a movement over 15 years old, has Open Education made an impact – on learners, on society and on education? What can we do to to support learning in the open – and how can we use open to support learning?
The conference was chaired by academic and Open Education researcher Vivien Rolfe, alongside Wonkhe Associate Editor David KernohanAbout the presenter
