The next free webinar promoted by the ALT Open Education Special Interest Group will take place on Thursday 29 January at 13.00. The subject is:

How Open is Open Education? Removing barriers for all staff, students and other learners

The desire to develop open education frontiers has often focussed on improving access geographically to distant students, or to those unable to gain a place in Higher Education, through digital provision. However, these resources often fail to understand the accessibility challenges they raise and what needs to be done to avoid them. A number of speakers will share their experiences in improving access to Open Educational Resources and there will be the opportunity for discussion.

Further details and access instructions are at https://www.alt.ac.uk/civicrm/event/info?id=142
