Open Education Week runs March 6–10, 2023. The Open Scholarship Committee is planning several events throughout the week to profile OE projects at Waterloo, promote the open community, and highlight support that is available for the creation, adoption, and adaptation of open educational resources. See Open Education Week 2023 for events at Waterloo.
In addition to these events, there are many opportunities to learn more about OER at other Canadian institutions.
