The Year of Open is a joint effort by the University of Texas Libraries and Texas Learning Sciences to raise the profile of open content on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin, in the city of Austin, and in the surrounding area.
During the 2015-2016 academic year we hosted four speakers who talked about open education, digital technologies in higher education, and the reproducibility of research. We are working to make sure all event videos are available via our online archive, Texas ScholarWorks.
David Wiley, Sept. 29, 2015: The Future is Now and It’s Open
David Ernst, Nov. 5, 2015: Open Textbooks: Access, Affordability, and Academic Success
John Ioannidis, April 15, 2016: Performing, communicating and rewarding reproducible research
Randy Bass, May 10, 2016: Higher Education in the New Digital Ecosystem
Our Year of Open events (version 2.0) continued into the 2016-2017 academic year. Our first speaker was Clifford Lynch who talked about challenges and changes within the scholarly communication system. This video will be uploaded soon.
Please stay tuned for further information about Year of Open version 2.0 events.
