Description:
This panel discussion will explore the process and benefits of authoring open textbooks in geography. Open educational resources (OERs) have been shown to improve learning outcomes for students and to help provide a more equitable learning experience. OERs can also be used in a variety to learning modalities, to include traditional classroom settings, hybrid, and online courses. How can open education create a more inclusive geographic education? How can open textbooks be used to shift our modes of teaching and create a more open classroom more broadly? How might geographers go about authoring their own open content? All conference attendees are welcome and encouraged to attend.
