Ethics and social justice in the global open education movement: Responding to what is broken ()

Feedback form is now closed.

Over the past year, educators from different parts of the world faciltiated sessions at multiple conferences, discussing ethical and social justice concerns within the global open education movement. In this workshop participants will review the results of those previous sessions and categorize the problems into simple, complicated, complex and chaotic (using the Liberating Structure Agreement & Certainty Matrix). Then they will discuss potential responses to one or more of these problems, and will also commit to a list of concrete next steps they themselves will take.
