Hello everyone, I wanted to invite people to the Open Access seminars hosted by USQ next week. They will be live-streamed and we can take questions/comments via Twitter (#usqoa) and via email on the day. The email address will be displayed at the beginning of the presentations.
All times are in AEST (Queensland) time. I hope that some of you can join us. *Open Access Week Seminars* *Date: *Wednesday: 23 October 2013 *Seminar 1: **Open Educational Resources: Aladdin’s Cave, or Pandora’s Box?* *Time: 10:30am – 12noon* Opening address by Professor Jan Thomas, Vice-Chancellor and President, followed by address by Professor Ken Udas, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Services) and Chief Information Officer. *Presenter: **Mr Adrian Stagg*, eLearning Designer (Learning Resources Development) *Abstract: *The promises of Open Educational Resources (OER) include increased access to education, reduced costs for education, enhanced collaboration, and efficient course design. Whilst these are all certainly possible, there are strong practical considerations to Open Educational Practice (OEP).This session will consider the role of OEP in teaching and learning at USQ, explore the challenges of engaging with openness, and offer some practical starting points. It will conclude with a panel of current practitioners fielding questions from the audience. *Seminar2*: *Redefining research impact with Open Access* *Time: 1:30 – 2:45pm* Opening address by Professor Mark Harvey, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) *Presenter:* *Ms Tegan Darnell*, Faculty Librarian *Abstract: *Open Access (OA) Publishing is transforming the way research is communicated.
