Have you considered the power of open for inclusivity? Open educational practices connect students to real world experience by involving students in the creation of knowledge for use at university and in the wider community.

With student involvement in the creation, resources can be more representative of the student perspective. Please join us as we discuss the state of open education in the Australian context. With the flip to online teaching and learning, Open Educational Resources have come to the fore with multiple Australian universities now contributing to the landscape.

Our guest at this session will be Eseta Tualaulelei, Senior Lecturer (Early Childhood Curriculum and Pedagogy), University of Southern Queensland, discussing the use of open pedagogy in her unit resulting in the publishing of two open textbooks addressing early years educators concerns related to reconciliation and multicultural education.
