The University of Nova Gorica (UNG) and the UNESCO Chair of Open Technologies for OER and Open Learning at the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) announce the Open Education for a Better World Eduscope 2023, which will take place from 2 to 5 June 2023 as a hybrid conference (partly in-person at University of Nova Gorica premises) and from 6-7 June 2023 as an online conference.

OER projects developed through the 2023 OE4BW Mentoring Programme will be presented with short pitches and receive direct feedback in a panel discussion. The program will be complemented by keynote presentations on the role of Open Education and ChatGPT, Best practices in open pedagogy,  Open Education and inclusive knowledge society – Leadership and Language Issues, Open Source Authoring Tools to Create Open Educational Resources, Visual Communication Technologies and Their Applications in Education. 

During the 4-day event, the participants will become familiar with open education design processes, methods, and tools. They will learn from OER experts and practitioners how to align open education with developmental and strategic goals. This event builds on the last four successful OE4BW Eduscopes, held as live conferences in 2018, 2019 and 2022 in Vipava, Slovenia (hybrid) Slovenia, and online in 2020 and 2021. The conference aims to share ideas and experiences, create new opportunities for people to network and create together, promote diversity of goals, backgrounds, and cultures, and contribute to implementing the UNESCO recommendation on open educational resources while addressing various sustainable development goals.
