Users of the site will be able to add ratings and reviews, and to receive recommendations based on their previous selections

Educators will be able to curate open resources, self-publish material they have developed, and put a school’s entire digital library that is open and freely available online

select categories to modify their searches for open resources, much the way shoppers on Amazon today can choose categories to filter their searches

a completely free, open platform for free resources.

This piece we have committed to making absolutely free forever. We’re not going to lock the content up. We promised we won’t put a pay wall in front of it.

put equity at the core of its work

make research and education more open and equitable

OpenCon’s community has made it clear that equity is essential and inclusion is non-negotiable

In redesigning systems for creating and sharing knowledge to be open, we can address deep inequities in the current system.

Openness can enable equity, but does not ensure it. Equity can only be achieved by design, with accountability, and in partnership with those who have been excluded.

The goal is to move from conversations to commitments and to create accountability in making progress together

as a conduit with underrepresented groups to address inclusion

Over the next year, we will also focus on developing a long-term sustainability plan to provide the support the community needs

Pauses between the slots were used for the participants to network with each other, present projects and materials, and record podcasts.

The next OERcamp will bring a new format with it. In the OER material workshop (link in German language), anyone who is interested is invited to create OER as a team under professional guidance.

We are excited about what’s to come and will be along for the ride.
