Each contribution (either paper or workshop) will be reviewed by at least two PC members. The acceptance decisions will take into account paper novelty, technical depth, elegance, practical or theoretic impact, and presentation.

Original: the contribution explores a new idea, project or issue; discusses existing research with promise of new insight, discusses new research; or presents new ways of considering existing information

Engaging: presentation format will involve the audience in some way, or has high potential to attract conference attendees by addressing needs of the community

Significant: the contribution raises and discusses issues important to improving the effectiveness and/or sustainability of open education efforts, and its contents can be broadly disseminated and understood
