What can Open be and mean at Deakin? This dialogic panel discussion responds to the provocation Open is more than Open Access Research and does so through an exploration of how we are becoming open at Deakin. We will foreground a philosophy of openness through the voices of open education practitioners and discussions that engage with the process and practices involved in the creation of open educational materials.

All welcome! This session includes a light lunch for in-person attendees.

In-person location: Burwood Corporate Centre, Room East 2.
