SUMMARY:Vectors of Trust: Practicing Reciprocal Values in Challenging Times
DESCRIPTION:In eduspaces we talk about values in nebulous terms. We believe in open\, we believe in barrier-free\, we believe in social justice\, we believe in student-focused pedagogies. But what are these values as praxis for those of us who support student-focused spaces? \nIn this keynote\, Dr. Ann Gagné will discuss how we are currently living through a crisis of trust in higher education\, institutionally\, governmentally\, societally\, and within our own communities. She will support reflection on how trust is a vector\, with both magnitude and direction that impacts the work we do and the work we want to do.  By highlighting broken reciprocal values and support systems\, this talk defines the moral injury seen in our eduspaces and gives participants the opportunity to leave with tangible next steps to promote trust as reciprocal and etymologically radical. \n  \nSpeaker Bio \nDr. Ann Gagné (she/her) is Senior Educational Developer\, Accessibility & Inclusion at Brock University and a sessional instructor at George Brown College. She has worked in higher education in Ontario at colleges and universities for 21 years. Her work focuses on the need for accessible pedagogies through holistic awareness of disabled learners\, faculty\, and staff lived experience to decrease barriers to inclusion in higher education. She has facilitated workshops and keynotes on accessible pedagogy\, accessible event design\, accessible social media practices\, and trauma-aware UDL.  In March 2023 she started her own podcast Accessagogy\, which talks about accessibility and pedagogy in short (under 15 minute) episodes. \nBC Open Education Librarians (BCOEL) is grateful for the support of BCcampus who has co-funded this event.

SUMMARY:Interactive Asynchronous Discussions with Discuss-It in LibreTexts’ ADAPT
DESCRIPTION:Ready to energize your asynchronous online discussions? In this session\, our panel of instructors will introduce Discuss-It\, a powerful extension of the LibreTexts’ ADAPT homework platform that fosters active learning\, student engagement\, and collaboration in online courses.  \nThis tool\, available for free in California\, supports asynchronous student-to-student interaction and instructor-student communication through multimedia options\, enhancing the learning experience for all students. Discuss-It also prioritizes accessibility and inclusivity\, offering features like auto-captioning\, and auto-transcription with editing capabilities in multiple languages\, powered by OpenAI’s Whisper technology. With its seamless integration with Canvas and other learning management systems for automatic gradebook syncing\, Discuss-It can be a powerful teaching tool and streamline course management for instructors.  \nDiscuss-It allows students to engage in threaded discussions using text\, audio\, and video responses\, creating a more interactive and engaging online learning environment. By promoting creativity and enabling students to express their thoughts in diverse ways\, it encourages meaningful conversations with their peers. Peer review and feedback are also integral to Discuss-It\, promoting reflection and increasing accountability among students.  \nJoin us to discover how Discuss-It can transform online learning by creating an engaging\, inclusive\, and collaborative learning environment.

SUMMARY:Imagine a gender equal world – help write women onto Wikipedia for IWD!
DESCRIPTION:“Women in Red” – a Wikipedia editathon celebrating the lives and contributions of all the inspiring women of Scotland (and around the world) missing from the world’s go-to site for information. \nWikipedia is the 8th most visited website in the world but lacks diversity in its editors and its articles. Only 20.02% of biographies on English Wikipedia\, the world’s go-to source of information\, are about women. Women are not a minority and we can #ChooseToChallenge the paucity of stories currently shared on the open web and #InspireInclusion. This event will focus on improving the representation of inspiring women online. \nParticipants will learn how to edit Wikipedia pages during a hybrid event (online webinar AND in person meetup in the University of Edinburgh Main Library on the 6th floor in the Digital Scholarship Centre) and will be supported over the afternoon to help create new pages for notable individuals who are not currently on Wikipedia (perhaps from BBC’s 100 Women 2025) and/or help improve already existing Wikipedia pages. \nNo prior knowledge required as training will be provided for those with no Wikipedia editing experience. \nYou’ll learn a new digital skill in a social & supportive setting and meet like-minded event participants all passionate about improving representation online to help close the gender gap for the benefit of millions of readers all around the world. \n\n1:00 pm – 1:15pm: Welcome and Tea/Coffee\n1:15pm – 2:15pm: Wikipedia training from Ewan McAndrew.\n2:15pm – 2:30pm: Tea and Coffee break\n2:30 pm – 4:30pm: Research and Editing with aim to publish by 4:30pm.\n4:30pm – 5:00pm: Publishing your edits\, recap and event close.\n\n  \nJoin us as we help make Wikipedia better! \nThen you can check how long it takes for it to appear in Google’s top ten results! \nHave a look at the event page to see if there are pages you would like to help edit/create and if you fancy learning more about Wikipedia ahead of time then you can view the Wiki Basics site. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: OER in Vocational Education and Training: Making education more accessible and affordable
DESCRIPTION:In this edition of the webinar series held jointly by the European Training Foundation (ETF)\, the International Council of Distance Education (ICDE) and the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training\, we will focus on the role of OER in improving access by reducing costs for students. \nAfter an introduction to OER\, the session will particularly highlight an impressive initiative by the Milwaukee Area Technical College in the USA. During COVID\, the college formed an Open Access Team that has been very successful in expanding low-cost and no-cost textbook options across the college. Furthermore\, Susanne Grimm of OERinfo Germany will present the relaunched OER World Map. This interactive map can be used to expand knowledge\, share information and experiences and it can help collect data on OER initiatives. Finally\, Torunn Gjelsvik will provide an update on ICDE’s new OER strategy and its Open Education Network.

SUMMARY:WikiAfrica Hour's Offline Demos – MoodleBox and Kiwix – Offline OER
DESCRIPTION:How do we share free knowledge with people who have no stable internet? \nHow do you identify the right offline solution if you cannot see it in action first online? \nMany 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. \nIn the hot seat for this session is: \n✔️ Dan McGuire and Shadrach Ankrah\, members of Sopal\, who are going to discuss the combination of offline solutions MoodleBox and Kiwix \nJoin this #OEWeek conversation on Offline!

SUMMARY:Keynote – Open Hearts: Empowering Educators with Open Resources and Practices
DESCRIPTION:For Open Education Week San Diego Community College District brings you this keynote talk by Brenna Clarke Gray\, Assistant Professor\, Learning Design and Innovation and Coordinator\, Educational Technologies at Thompson Rivers University. \nSession Description\nI don’t know about you\, but in this particular moment — politically\, economically\, culturally — I’ve never felt more sharply the distinction between my values as an educator and the realities of the world outside my classroom. To celebrate Open Education Week\, then\, let’s all take a moment to find hope in the possibilities and promises of open education. In this session\, through a little bit of theoretical framing and a lot of practical examples\, we’ll discuss how open resources and open practices can empower us as educators to build a more equitable\, accessible\, and engaging learning experience for our students and for those far beyond our classroom walls. Join me as we open our hearts and share the possibilities of open education in a moment when we all really need to remember how far our good work can spread. \nSpeaker Details\nBrenna Clarke Gray is an open educator and critical technologist powered by righteous indignation and lattes and based at Thompson Rivers University in Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc\, where she co-founded the TRU Open Press. Her work explores the possibilities of a care-centred approach to the ethical and equitable use of educational technologies. Her most recent work includes the peer-reviewed scholarly teaching and learning podcast Community of Praxis and the forthcoming Routledge Introduction to Canadian Comics. She holds a PhD from the University of New Brunswick\, where she was a Canada Graduate Scholar. Outside of the university’s walls\, she is an avid reader\, compulsive baker\, and tired mum. If she was a creature in the Jim Henson cinematic universe\, she would be Cotterpin Doozer.

SUMMARY:AfLIA Open Education Week Virtual Summit
DESCRIPTION:The African Library and Information Associations and Institutions (AfLIA)\, in collaboration with OER Africa\, is pleased to announce the 2026 AfLIA Open Education Week Virtual Summit\, scheduled for 3–4 March 2026. The virtual summit will convene librarians\, educators\, researchers\, policymakers\, and other stakeholders to explore how Open Education can expand access\, improve equity\, and transform learning outcomes across Africa. \nTheme: Open Education\, Open Possibilities\nOpen Education is reshaping the global learning landscape by expanding access to open educational resources and practices. It creates new pathways for inclusive\, quality\, and equitable education. This is particularly important for Africa\, which has the world’s youngest population\, with over 60 percent under the age of 25 and a median age of 19. Many young people and adult learners still face significant barriers to education due to inadequate resources and persistent equity gaps. Open Education presents an opportunity to address these challenges and to support Africa’s transformation into a global knowledge and innovation powerhouse. \nAfLIA strongly believes that African libraries have critical roles to play in bridging digital and resource gaps. Library professionals possess expertise in technology\, copyright\, and licensing\, positioning them as key partners in advancing Open Education. The 2026 virtual summit seeks to bring together stakeholders to share research\, case studies\, emerging models\, and visionary ideas that demonstrate how Open Education can enable transformative\, inclusive\, and equitable education across the continent. \n  \n  \n
