The Open Education and Publishing Institute will be held in Summer 2024.
The Institute brings faculty together to develop open, digital texts and projects. Faculty Fellows will meet for a three-day intensive institute in NYC, and connect virtually throughout the summer in collaborative working groups, weekly discussions, and one-to-one support sessions.
June 5, 2024 | Institute Welcome & Pre-Meeting, Virtual
The Welcome and Pre-Meeting will introduce the goals and curriculum for the Institute, and provide time to discuss plans and logistics for the upcoming in-person intensive hosted at the Graduate Center, CUNY. The welcome meeting will occur on Zoom and offer faculty fellows a chance to meet one another briefly and ask questions as they plan to attend the intensive.
June 12-14, 2024 | Institute Intensive, The CUNY Graduate Center
The three-day, in-person Institute Intensive will provide faculty fellows with an opportunity to develop the interpersonal relationships that will establish a community of practice that can provide ongoing connections after they complete the institute. During their time together, fellows will be introduced to the foundational principles of the institute: accessibility, anti-racist pedagogy, open pedagogy, social justice, and students as knowledge creators.
