Keeping Learning Open in an Era of Censorship

Open Education has evolved from a focus on textbook savings to a broader movement for advancing social justice. In today’s geopolitical climate, it can also serve as a form of resistance—challenging political narratives and restrictions.

In this session, we will explore censorship threats to Open Education. Conversely, we will also speculate on how Open Education can undermine information controls and help sustain access to knowledge.

Did you know? Since we first began tracking in 2023, NorQuest students collectively saved over $3.5 million through our Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) initiatives!

Come down to the OE Week Booth at the Learner Center on Tuesday March 3^rd and Thursday March 5^th between 11am – 1pm to learn more about Open Education and have some fun contributing to our Open Braid!

Join us in celebrating Open Education Week (OE Week) and be part of the movement driving innovation, co-creation, and student success.
