SUMMARY:Two-Day Workshop on “OER for All: Repurposing and Designing Inclusive Open Educational Resources” on March 6th  – 7th \, 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Online Education & Learning (COEL)\, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University (Dr. BRAOU) is organizing a workshop titled “OER for All: Repurposing and Designing Inclusive Open Educational Resources on March 6th -7th. ” as part of the Open Education (OE) Week Celebrations 2025. This workshop aims to empower in-house faculty members with the knowledge and skills to create\, adapt\, and repurpose Open Educational Resources (OER) that are inclusive\, accessible\, and interactive. Participants will learn best practices in open licensing\, digital accessibility\, and universal design principles to ensure that their educational content reaches a diverse range of learners\, including those with disabilities and linguistic diversity. \nMrs. Sushumna Rao Tadinada – OER advocate from India will act as a Workshop Facilitator. The workshop will include hands-on sessions\, discussions\, and practical demonstrations on using tools like H5P to design engaging\, accessible and interactive OER. \nSpecial Recognition: To encourage active participation and innovation\, the Best Presentation (on implementation plan to integrate OER into the course) Award in the workshop will include INR ₹1000 cash prize and an Appreciation Certificate. \nObjectives of the workshop:\n• Build awareness of OER\, open licenses\n• Enable participants to find\, evaluate\, and repurpose OER for their disciplines.\n• Provide hands-on experience in creating accessible and interactive OER using open-source tools.\n• Guide participants in developing an implementation plan to integrate OER into their courses effectively.

SUMMARY:Check H5P accessibility and more - CARETAKER
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to introduce the H5P Caretaker\, a valuable tool designed to help you assess your H5P files for accessibility\, licensing\, and usability issues. This initiative is the result of a collaborative effort between Oliver Tacke and NDLA. \nPlease note that the H5P Caretaker is still in development\, and we welcome your feedback to help us improve the service. The initial version is fully operational and available for you to test during this web conference. \nAs adherence to accessibility standards becomes increasingly vital\, it’s essential that we equip ourselves with the right tools and resources to streamline this process. The H5P Caretaker aims to make your experience as seamless and up-to-date as possible. \nWe invite you to explore the H5P Caretaker with us! \nRead more about the technical implementation \nPresenters: \n\nJan Frode Lindsø\nOliver Tacke\nKnut Inge Skifjeld

SUMMARY:Open Microbiology: Building Global Learning Communities Through the OpenStax Microbiology Ancillaries Project
DESCRIPTION:The OpenStax Microbiology Ancillaries (OSMA) Project is an innovative open education initiative that brings together educators\, researchers\, and students to develop high-quality\, openly licensed learning resources for microbiology. This project enhances accessibility\, fosters inclusivity\, and empowers both students and instructors with adaptable\, freely available educational materials in the ADAPT homework system and H5P/LibreTexts Studio. \nThis presentation will highlight the international collaboration at the heart of OSMA\, featuring insights from Ying Liu\, biology professor at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) and visiting scholar at the University of Dundee\, and her team of students in San Francisco and Dundee\, Scotland. Together\, we will explore how cross-border teamwork enriches resource development\, ensuring diverse perspectives and global relevance. \nStudents from both institutions will share their experiences as co-creators\, reflecting on the impact of open education on their learning\, professional growth\, and sense of community. Their voices will illuminate how participation in OER projects enhances scientific literacy\, collaboration skills\, and engagement with real-world microbiology applications. \nBy showcasing OSMA’s student-driven\, equity-focused approach\, this session will inspire educators and institutions to embrace open education and foster meaningful learning experiences through international partnerships.
