Abstract
Open education needs to evolve to fully realize its potential. Emerging innovations such as generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and open credentials provide exciting opportunities for this growth. In this chapter, we briefly define the key characteristics of open education, describing its history, current opportunities for open education through generative AI, and then articulate an overarching 5Cs framework for open education that can guide research and practice into the future.
