At its heart, the Open Education Network is a diverse community of engaged, supportive professionals who are working together to transform higher education. We facilitate creative, reciprocal connections so that together you can collaborate, share, and support one another’s efforts. We invite you to experience the positive impact our network offers. You can choose from a variety of ways to connect:

With members in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the U.K., our network invites you to brainstorm with helpful and accomplished colleagues at institutions around the globe.
