Unconference on Open & Equitable Access, April 14

Consider submitting a topic for discussion?

The Oberlin Group’s Open and Equitable Access working group is holding a half-day online unconference on April 14th from 1 PM to 4 PM EST. This event will provide a forum for us all to share recent successes, talk through current challenges, explore new developments, and identify opportunities for future collaborations. Since we are using an unconference format, as the date approaches, we will be issuing a call for topics to discuss. We hope you will contribute your own ideas, such as:

  • Migrations to a new institutional repository

  • Campus-based OER programs

  • Open Access outreach success stories

  • Reports from the HELIOS open science initiative

  • Open Access publishing models and infrastructures

The event will be organized into three 45 minute breakout small group sessions, with an opening and closing activity. It is free of charge and open to anyone who works on an Oberlin Group campus. Feel free to invite your colleagues from the faculty, IT, or digital learning.

You can sign up at https://forms.gle/TWMFXaJJfXmpppcm7   where you can suggest topics you would either like to hear about or talk about.

We hope you will join us and contribute to what we imagine to be the start of increased engagement across the Oberlin Group in conversations and collaborations in this important area.
