What is Open Education Week?
Open Education Week is an annual event to raise awareness and showcase the impact of open education around the world. It typically takes place in the first week of March and involves hundreds of universities, colleges, schools, and organisations from around the world.
Open Education Week is organised by Open Education Global (OEGlobal), a network of higher education institutions and organisations committed to advancing open education and supporting the adoption of open educational practices. OEGlobal also works to promote the development of sustainable models for open education around the world through a range of international initiatives.
