SUMMARY:The Price is Wrong: Free or Low-Cost Alternatives in Higher Education (Concordia University)
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes\, the cost of academic publishing can feel very wrong. Costs might feel wrong for students facing higher living and tuition costs\, and for researchers seeking to make their work open access. \nTextbooks\, course packs\, journal articles\, academic books\, and related online resources carry various price tags; some of which are shockingly high or low. Uncover the publishing costs in academia and learn about for-profit publishing alternatives. Participants who guess the accurate price will win prizes as we reveal how pathways within open scholarship and open education can lessen the financial burdens on students\, educators\, and researchers. \nIn twelve spins\, our version of Price is Wrong features useful information\, several slices of humour\, and prizes for our winners. In this collaboration\, Rachel Harris and Zo Kopyna from the Concordia University Library’s Open Educational Resources Team\, Ryan Van Huijstee from Concordia University Press\, and Douglas Moffat from 4TH Space act as game-show hosts\, radio announcers\, and design magicians. Together\, we encourage students\, professors\, librarians\, and staff members to join us… as volunteer game-show contestants and audience members\, take your seats! \n… \nHow can you participate? Join us in person  [4TH SPACE in the J.W. McConnell Building] or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube. \n  \n> Learn more  \n> Part of open education month at Concordia University

SUMMARY:Prácticas de conocimiento abiertas y equitativas en el mundo de habla hispana
DESCRIPTION:Esta sesión inaugural examinará tanto los fundamentos filosóficos como las aplicaciones prácticas de la Equidad del Conocimiento en el mundo hispanohablante\, destacando cómo se están desarrollando enfoques abiertos\, inclusivos y centrados en la comunidad para abordar las desigualdades estructurales en el acceso al conocimiento. \nLa sesión explorará cómo tecnologías emergentes\, como la IA generativa\, se intersectan con las prácticas de conocimiento equitativas; cómo la educación abierta puede apoyar a estudiantes de comunidades con menor acceso a oportunidades educativas y de contextos socioeconómicamente desfavorecidos mediante espacios de aprendizaje flexibles y adaptativos; y cómo los esfuerzos de inclusión digital\, especialmente en la educación primaria\, pueden ayudar a garantizar que niñas y niños tengan un acceso temprano y significativo a las herramientas y habilidades digitales necesarias para participar plenamente en los ecosistemas contemporáneos del conocimiento.

SUMMARY:How Do Course Materials Impact Student Belonging? Insights from User Experience Research (CCCOER Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Explore how course materials – especially OER – shape students’ sense of belonging through insights from a user-experience-informed research study with undergraduate learners.
