I would like to acknowledge the land on which Seneca College’s
buildings are housed, and where students, faculty, staff and
members of the public gather.
This land is the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the New
Credit First Nation. We are guests on this space, and it is our
shared obligation to respect, honour and sustain this land.

An immersive, experiential learning opportunity where the participants are
challenged to teach and learn with different modes and formats, to create and
collaborate using digital technology tools, and to discern what approaches may
be used to design significant technology-enabled learning experiences.

Ontario Extend is a capacity-building
initiative that is grounded in the belief that
the impact on learning should be the primary
motivator for creating technology-enabled

Plymouth State University – New Hampshire
The Open Anthology
of Early American Literature
“I launched the open textbook project over a summer,
and because I teach at a public university where I had
no easy access to graduate assistants or funding, I hired
a bunch of undergrad students and recent alums, and
paid them out of my own pocket to assist me. Turns
out, most of them were willing to work for free (I
didn’t let them, though what I paid was low because it
was all I could spare), and turns out the whole
endeavor of building the work turned out to be
transformative to my own pedagogy and to the course
that followed.”

How do we provide

How to we allow employers

How can we provide managed environments for

Openness in education is not a new idea — but it needs
renewed expression in a digital era and broader
application in higher education
Openness is not just a historical development — it is a
social, cultural and economic phenomenon
Fundamentally, education is a human right — let’s make
educational resources openly accessible in all formats
Take away messages
