SUMMARY:OE Week Live! March 5 Open Exchange on AI
DESCRIPTION:Open Education Week 2025 is happening this week and we are hosting a few of our OEWeek Live webcasts as informal conversations. For each show we invite a group of open educators willing to have a discussion that lacks an agenda and slides with bullet points. \nThere seems no end to the talk and sometimes yelling about Artificial Intelligence. So here’s more!  This special show aims to bring some thoughtful exchanges from open educators who are willing to be part of a conversation that ideally avoids taking sides but share their experiences and perspectives\, especially with regards for open education\, bringing both critical and practical approaches.  \nCan we place ourselves on the Eh! Aye! Venn Diagram? \nEh? Aye! Venn diagram Cartoon by @visualthinkery is licensed under CC-by-sa. Remix by Bryan Mathers.\nWe cannot even come close to covering everything in an hour\, but let’s see what happens.

SUMMARY:OER Under the Hood: A Student ePortfolio Experience
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the inaugural OER Under the Hood session presented by OEGlobal and Pressbooks. In this series we’ll explore what goes into creating unique\, engaging open learning materials by going “under the hood” of various projects. \nIn our first session we’ll hear from Terry Greene about his My Learning Journey: An Ebook of One’s Own student portfolio project at Trent University. We’ll learn about the vision behind the project and how it came to life using Pressbooks by taking a look at the project from the inside. We’ll also hear from Amber Hoye about her experience adapting this project at Boise State. \nRecording Now Available\n\n  \nPortfolios Shared:\n\nMollie’s Learning Journey (Trent University)\nColter Sprague (Boise State University)\nMaria Rom (Boise State University)

SUMMARY:The K-State Open/Alternative Textbook Initiative\, Open Textbook Platforms\, & Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:The cost of textbooks is a barrier to affordable higher education for many students. Open textbooks help reduce that cost while providing ways for instructors to adapt content to their course and improve accessibility for their students. Join us for an introduction to the K-State Open/Alternative Textbook Initiative\, an overview on the two leading open textbook platforms – Pressbooks and LibreTexts\, and a summary of methods to build accessibility into open textbooks to improve learning for all.

SUMMARY:Empowering Course Design with Open Educational Resources (OER) in Learning Management Systems (LMS)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Shahram Fardadvand. \nThe integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) with Learning Management  Systems (LMS) such as Moodle and Canvas is redefining course design by  enabling educators to create accessible\, flexible\, and dynamic learning  experiences. This session explores how Pressbooks\, an open-source publishing platform\, improves LMS capabilities by simplifying the integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) into well-structured course designs. Pressbooks offers powerful export options for designing courses that combine chapters and materials from diverse OER sources. Educators can remix\, adapt\, and integrate content into unified course modules while retaining the interactivity and accessibility essential for today’s learners. \nThis presentation demonstrates how Pressbooks empowers educators to build flexible courses tailored to their curriculum by embedding resources directly within LMS platforms. Educators can improve teaching by using Pressbooks’ easy integration. This integration helps deliver content better and engages learners more. Examples of successful course designs will show how combining material from different Open Educational Resources (OER) improves teaching and learning. \nParticipants will learn to utilize Pressbooks and the LMS to create interactive\, accessible\, modular courses. This method provides equitable access to quality education and enables educators to tailor learning for diverse audiences.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Using Pressbooks
DESCRIPTION:Pressbooks is an online platform for creating books (and other book-like learning materials)\, including open educational resources (OER). It enables authors and publishers to design\, format\, and share their books in several ways\, including in web-based and digital/ebook formats\, or as print-ready PDFs. Pressbooks is used by independent authors and educational institutions around the world. In this hands-on webinar\, you will learn how to use Pressbooks to create\, build\, and adapt online books and OER. We will cover the basics of structuring your book\, adding and formatting content\, and briefly look at some ways you can enhance your book with embedded media (like images\, video\, and interactive H5P activities). \nIf you do not already have a USask Pressbooks account\, one will be provided for you\, along with a “sandbox” book that you can explore during the session and continue building with later.
