Save the date for OpenCon Cleveland 2021

Save the date: OpenCon Cleveland will be held online from May 13 - May 14, 2021. OpenCon is an annual regional event which celebrates the benefits of open education to student learning. Faculty, students, librarians, instructional designers, and administrators, especially in the Northeast Ohio region, are all welcome to this FREE series of presentations and discussions. Consider submitting a lightning talk proposal by March 29th.

We welcome proposals for 5-10 minute lightning talk presentations, preferably related to the themes of open pedagogy, social justice, and supporting remote learning (although other topics are welcome). Accepted presenters will pre-record their lightning talk sessions and participate in asynchronous and synchronous discussions with attendees. All submissions are due on March 29th and decisions about accepted submissions will be communicated by April 6th. Proposals will be evaluated according to this lighting talk proposal rubric: https://tinyurl.com/165biie5
