Open Education (OE) is a rapidly growing educational ecosystem that touches on all the themes explored at KY Convergence (Pedagogy, Technology, Processes and Policies, and Design) and has the potential to expand access to learning, disrupt inequitable structures in higher education, and increase engagement in the classroom. OE includes a spectrum of activities from teaching with open educational resources (OER), to using open pedagogy, to adapting and authoring OER, to co-creating OER with students, to open SOTL. This roundtable discussion will explore the opportunities and challenges of OE.  After the moderators share a brief introduction to OE, a diverse group of Kentucky open education practitioners will discuss these issues with each other and with the audience.

Panel:
Colleen Deel, Open Educational Resources Librarian, NKU
Leah Halliday, Coordinator-Affordable Learning, KYVL
Courtney Jordan, Library Director, BCTC
Stephen Krueger, Affordable Course Content Librarian, UK
Kathleen Richardson, Technical Services Librarian, BCTC
Micah Logan, Associate Director, Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning, WKU
