Emerging Technologies in International Education
2025-03-07 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Edmonton) | Athabasca University, 1 University Dr, Athabasca, AB T9S 3A3, Athabasca, Alberta, Canada
“Bridging the gap between theory and practice is essential for advancing education. While theoretical frameworks provide foundational understanding, their real-world application ensures relevance and impact. Educators and institutions are challenged to translate scholarly insights into actionable strategies that address challenges in open and distributed education. This dynamic exchange between research and practice fosters innovation, improves teaching effectiveness, and enhances learning outcomes. Extending scholarship to practice also enriches research, as practical applications often reveal new areas of inquiry, leading to a continuous cycle of knowledge generation and refinement.” (Anderson et al., 2025)
In this session, Drs. Adnan Qayyum and Levina Yuen will outline key emerging online technologies and their potential to enable and transform education on a global scale.

WikiAfrica Hour's Offline Demos – MoodleBox and Kiwix – Offline OER
2025-03-25 15:00 - 16:00 (Africa/Johannesburg) | Online from Multiple Locations
How do we share free knowledge with people who have no stable internet?
How do you identify the right offline solution if you cannot see it in action first online?
Many steps must be taken before offline solutions can benefit the people they are designed for, some of which are quite tricky. In this OEWeek25 special, following the January edition of WikiAfrica Hour: Offline Wikis ( https://bit.ly/WAH_Ep42_YT ), we invite Offline Wiki experts to demonstrate their offline solution. We hope this will make one of the many steps towards offline—the decision phase—easier by showing what you should expect from this platform before you spend hours setting up the hardware, sourcing to the right offline platform, downloading it, and then adding it to your hardware.
In the hot seat for this session is:
✔️ Dan McGuire and Shadrach Ankrah, members of Sopal, who are going to discuss the combination of offline solutions MoodleBox and Kiwix

Open Educational Resources (OER) bieten Ihnen die Möglichkeit, auf Bildungsmaterialien zuzugreifen, sie zu nutzen, weiterzugeben und zu bearbeiten – und das alles unter einer offenen Lizenz. Damit bietet das Konzept eine neue Art der Erstellung und des Teilens von Bildungsmaterialien.
In unserem Webinar erhalten Sie ersten Überblick über Open Educational Resources. Wir geben Ihnen Hinweise zum Begriff OER, zum Finden und Nutzen von OER, zu CC-Lizenzen und zum Zusammenhang mit dem Urheberrecht. Das soll Ihnen dabei helfen, ein grundlegendes Verständnis für den Einsatz freier Bildungsmaterialien und für die Veröffentlichung ihrer eigenen Materialien unter einer offenen Lizenz zu erlangen.
Dieses Webinar vermittelt folgende Inhalte:

Grundlagen zu freien Bildungsmaterialien
Relevanz von OER in der Lehre
Bascis zu CC-Lizenzen und OER-Suche

Our goal is to meet or exceed the Revised 508 Standards and WCAG 2.1 AA because accessibility isn’t a checkbox, it’s a core part of what it means to build education that truly belongs to everyone. Accessibility conformance documentation is already available, and we encourage anyone who encounters an accessibility concern to report it directly to us. We also provide a full suite of authoring tools to help content creators build with accessibility in mind from the start.

The vision of IRN-ISSE is to build an international community of practice, inviting researchers and specialists to collaborate for the greater good, with a specific focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4): “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” The mission of IRN-ISSE is to study, support, inform, share, and implement research globally to improve access to and quality of education worldwide. The goal is to stand together and learn with and from each other, striving to remain at the forefront of innovative, sustainable, and seamless educational practice
The community has a global reach, including Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and India. The partnership is working on several initiatives, such as:

The Seamless Learning Experience Design Model, which identifies five themes relevant to designing a seamless learning experience: 1) seamless learning concepts, 2) positive concepts, 3) practical concepts, 4) human concepts, and 5) design concepts. Based on these five concepts, a Seamless Learning Experience Design (SLED) framework was developed.
Research and ongoing work include the “Be the change to see the change” (this was the theme for interviews and larger podcasts) initiative, and on-demand, driven learning.

What you can expect:
During this webinar, you will meet some of the partners in IRN-ISSE. You will hear about their research and ongoing initiatives. You will have the opportunity to discuss with the team and the audience the interesting changes in education, including those brought about by the AI era.

What Can I Share—and Where? Digital Literacy, Open Licenses, and Faculty Publishing Pathways
2026-03-04 11:30 - 12:30 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | Greencastle, United States, Greencastle, IN, United States
Faculty create a wide range of digital materials—articles, syllabi, datasets, lecture media, public scholarship, and creative work—but questions about copyright, licensing, and “where this work belongs” often create barriers to sharing.
This Open Education Week workshop at DePauw University introduces digital literacy concepts through the lens of open licenses and publishing pathways. Participants will explore how Creative Commons licenses work, how to decide what level of openness is appropriate for different kinds of work, and where faculty can publish or share materials—from journals and institutional repositories to open platforms and community-aligned publishing models. Designed for a liberal arts context, the session emphasizes faculty agency, ethical knowledge sharing, and practical decision-making that supports teaching, scholarship, and public impact.
