Thematic Session -- Pathways to Opening Up Education (Day 2 - Auditorium 450 - 14h)

Open textbook authorship, quality assurance and publishing: Social justice models of participatory design, engagement, co-creation and partnership 
-Glenda Cox

Growing inequity continues to manifest within and between higher education institutions of the Global North and Global South, highlighting the plight of the disadvantaged versus the advantaged in the system (Holscher & Bozalek, 2020). In addition to the challenge of high university fees impeding access, there are challenges related to the cost and appropriateness of textbooks in higher education (Cox et al., 2019) – all of which have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the widening inequality that has manifested as a result (Hargreaves, 2021).
