We’re excited to announce that AMICAL has partnered with SPARC to provide a limited number of complimentary registrations to attend virtually the Open Education Conference, a hybrid event taking place 8–10 October 2024.
The Open Education Conference is an annual convening for sharing and learning about open educational resources, open pedagogy, and open education initiatives. View the program to explore the diverse range of speakers, topics, and sessions. The majority of sessions are accessible to virtual attendees.
Apply for a registration waiver by Thursday 26 September
If you are interested in Open Education, and believe it would be valuable for your work to attend this event, you may request an AMICAL-facilitated registration waiver, which would allow you to register for the event at no cost to you. (The normal registration fee is $100.)
We ask that applicants review the program, commit to attending the conference, and to share their experience with other AMICAL members. AMICAL will organize that sharing and may include posting take-aways on AMICAL Connect, providing feedback on the event, or participating in future AMICAL discussions on Open Education.
Note that sessions generally fall between 9:00–18:30 US Eastern Daylight Time (15:00–00:30 Paris time). If you can’t attend the live sessions, you will be able to watch the pre-recorded presentations, and get post-event access to session recordings and materials shared by presenters.
Because of the limited number of registration waivers available, AMICAL can only issue a small number per institution. Priority will be given to applicants nominated by their AMICAL Representative as being likely to have substantial impact on OER and Open Educational Practices at their institution. You may therefore wish to reach out to your AMICAL Representative to let them know you’re applying. The remaining waivers will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and distributed equally across institutions.
