This track centers the student voice in open education. We welcome proposals from students, about students, and in partnership with students — including efforts to engage students in OER advocacy, involve them in resource development, and amplify their role as active contributors to the open education movement. If students are at the heart of your work, this is your track.

Exploration means nothing without roots. This track focuses on the practical work of building and sustaining open education programs within institutions — from securing buy-in and navigating policy, to workflow development, faculty support, and long-term program viability. Proposals that address the real-world challenges of making OER work at scale are welcome here.

This track is for the pioneers. Whether you've designed an innovative OER course, developed original open instructional materials, experimented with AI tools in your teaching, or found creative new approaches to open pedagogy — this is where bold ideas live. Faculty showcasing OER creations, interactive resources, or technology-enhanced open learning experiences will find a home here.

What difference does open education actually make? This track invites research, assessment, and reflective practice that examines the outcomes of OER and open education models — from student success and cost savings to access, equity, and inclusion. Bring your data, your findings, and your honest reckoning with what's working and what still needs work.
