From April 26th to 29th, Lisbon will host a conference that brings together the international Open edX community to discuss the current state of this online learning platform, as well as research projects, best practices, and new collaborative approaches.
2022 marks the return of the Open edX conference to an in-person format. After being held virtually in 2021, the meeting of the learning platform's user community and experts in ed-tech will take place in Lisbon, between the 26th and 29th of April.
The Foundation for Science and Technology and the Nova School of Business and Economics (SBE) are co-hosts of this international conference whose theme this year will be dedicated to “the future of education, work” and how this open technology can be used to “guarantee lifelong skills to workers and learners around the world,” explains edX on its website.
Over the three days, workshops, lectures, and other sessions will be held. The program includes several case studies of innovative use of technologies in higher education, companies, and government agencies. Furthermore, it will be possible to learn about the main developments regarding course production on the Open edX platform and the main methodologies used.
Founded by Harvard University and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in 2012, edX is the non-profit organization responsible for the software open-source to promote massive open online courses used in universities around the world, with around 14 million registered students.
