I’ll be at a couple of these! Looking forward to seeing my #OpenEd25 peeps.
As Open Access Week wraps up, I'm looking forward to seeing many of you at #OpenEd25 in Denver next week! I'll be presenting three times at the conference, plus an extra pre-conference workshop intended for newcomers to the field of open education.
