View Agenda

Unconference Sessions

Group discussions designed to reach consensus on a topic or generate a plan of action.

Hackathons

Participants work together on a defined task for one to three hours. Examples include letter writing campaigns, creating syllabi and faculty guides, designing studies, and proposals.

Workshops

Hands on lessons that leave attendees with resources to use and apply.

Lightning Talks

Presentations on a topic in five minutes or less.

Unconferences maximize the most important parts of conferences: connecting with peers and collaborating on exciting new projects. Simultaneously, they minimize the parts where they teach me things I already know. They are a wonderful opportunity to learn, meet collaborators, and start new projects. Unconferences like this one have ruined other conferences for me.

The Open Scholarship Unconference was informative, interactive, and fun and made it easy and comfortable to collaborate with other educational researchers. The unconference format provided useful workshops and sessions, but also allowed space for researchers to come together spontaneously to work on important issues. The conference was the perfect mix of experts and novices and I appreciated that everyone was willing to share and learn from each other. I am looking forward to attending again!
