Abstract
The Global OER Graduate Network (https://go-gn.net) has published its strategic review of more than 10 years supporting doctoral research in open education around the world. This report rehearses the development, growth and acheivements of the network and offers a critical commentary on possible future directions from here. GO-GN now has almost 200 members who are doctoral/post-doctoral researchers and, as the network scales up, some of the approaches taken may need to evolve in recognition of this. Focus areas for open education have also changed, with OER and MOOC perhaps being less dominant than they were 10 years ago, and many are looking forward to the impact of AI on open practice.
Alongside this, there is also a growing interest in social justice and decolonisation as dimensions of open education among our doctoral researchers. While the report does not specify a future strategy for GO-GN so much as highlight potential futures and strategic directions, we trust that it will provide both a useful introduction to the network for those who are new and a solid foundation for thinking clearly and collaboratively about future activities and priorities.
