What is Open Education Week?

 

As described on the Open Education Week website, Open Education Week (March 3-7) is a global event that seeks to raise awareness of free and open sharing in education and the benefits they bring to teachers and learners. Coordinated by the Open Education Consortium, the event showcases projects, resources, and ideas from around the world that demonstrate open education in practice.
