Bending Boundaries: Team Avatar's Lesson for Openness

Presenters: Christina Gangwisch, Charlene V. Martoni, Hosanna Fletcher; Brooke Fry

Drawing inspiration from the beloved series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, this presentation invites you to contemplate divisions between schools of thought surrounding openness. Participants will embark on a journey to discover how open education manifests in the work of librarians and instructors at Georgia State University, explore open-access collections and open educational resources available through the university’s library, and hear how the library’s annual Open for Student Success Symposium echoes the spirit of unity and teamwork championed by Avatar Aang and his allies.
