SUMMARY:DEFA Cameroun: Digital Education For All - Les REL pour tous
DESCRIPTION:Jules Tchiyak Fanmoe organise à Yaoundé (sans retransmission) son premier séminaire dédié au lancement de l’association DEFA Digital Education For All\, dans ses propres locaux et avec une quinzaine d’enseignants. Pilier d’Open Education Global Francophone\, Jules se lance aujourd’hui dans la rédaction d’une thèse et souhaite populariser les Ressources Educatives Libres et la pédagogie ouverte dans le secondaire. \nLes Ressources Éducatives Libres (REL) au Cameroun : comment les enseignants de sciences les utilisent-ils vraiment ?\n1. Pourquoi parler des REL ?\nDepuis les années 2000\, l’éducation connaît une révolution avec le numérique : les savoirs se partagent plus facilement\, et de nouvelles ressources pédagogiques apparaissent\, comme les Ressources Éducatives Libres (REL). Ces ressources (cours\, exercices\, vidéos\, etc.) sont gratuites\, modifiables et partageables. Des organisations comme l’UNESCO les encouragent\, car elles pourraient : \n\nRendre l’éducation plus accessible (pour tous\, même dans les zones reculées).\nAméliorer la qualité des enseignements grâce à des supports innovants.\nRéduire les inégalités en offrant des outils pédagogiques variés.\n\n2. Le défi : entre théorie et réalité\nCependant\, avoir accès aux REL ne signifie pas qu’elles sont utilisées efficacement. Des études montrent que : \n\nLes enseignants n’adoptent pas automatiquement les outils numériques\, même s’ils sont disponibles (Rabardel\, 1995).\nIl existe souvent un écart entre ce que les institutions recommandent\, ce que les REL promettent\, et ce que les enseignants font en classe.\n\n3. Le cas du Cameroun : un contexte particulier\nAu Cameroun\, comme dans beaucoup de pays africains\, les REL et les technologies éducatives se développent (ex. : projet PAQUEB\, formations aux TIC). Mais leur utilisation pose des questions : \n\nMatériel : Tous les enseignants et élèves ont-ils accès à des ordinateurs\, à internet ?\nFormation : Les enseignants sont-ils formés pour utiliser ces ressources ?\nAdaptation : Les REL correspondent-elles aux besoins locaux et aux programmes scolaires ?\n\n4. Comment étudier ce sujet ?\nCette recherche propose d’analyser la situation à trois niveaux : \n\nNiveau international : Comment les REL s’inscrivent-elles dans les politiques mondiales d’éducation ?\nNiveau national : Quelles sont les politiques éducatives du Cameroun sur les REL et le numérique ?\nNiveau local : Comment les enseignants de sciences (physique\, SVT\, etc.) utilisent-ils concrètement les REL dans leurs classes ?\n\n5. Questions clés de la recherche\n\nLes enseignants camerounais connaissent-ils les REL ? Les utilisent-ils ?\nQuels sont les freins (manque de matériel\, de formation\, résistance au changement) et les leviers (motivation\, soutien institutionnel) ?\nComment les REL pourraient-elles vraiment améliorer l’enseignement des sciences au secondaire ?\n\n6. Objectifs\n\nComprendre pourquoi et comment les enseignants intègrent (ou non) les REL.\nIdentifier les conditions nécessaires pour que ces ressources soient utiles et durables.\nProposer des recommandations pour les décideurs\, les formateurs et les enseignants.\n\n\nPourquoi ce sujet est-il important pour vous\, enseignants ?\nLes REL pourraient être un outil puissant pour : \n\nEnrichir vos cours avec des supports variés et actualisés.\nMotiver vos élèves grâce à des méthodes interactives.\nRéduire les coûts (moins de dépendance aux manuels payants).\n\nMais pour que cela fonctionne\, il faut : \n\nVotre implication : partager vos besoins et vos retours d’expérience.\nUn accompagnement : formations\, accès au matériel\, soutien technique.\n\n\nQuestion pour ouvrir le débat : “En tant qu’enseignant(e) au Cameroun\, quels sont\, selon vous\, les principaux obstacles à l’utilisation des REL dans votre quotidien ? Et quelles solutions imagineriez-vous pour les surmonter ?”

DESCRIPTION:À l’heure où les travaux étudiants finissent souvent dans l’oubli numérique\, comment concevoir des apprentissages qui laissent une trace utile et partagée ? Ce webinaire propose de passer d’une logique de travaux jetables à celle de savoirs durables\, grâce aux pratiques éducatives ouvertes (PEO). À partir de recherches menées à l’Université TÉLUQ\, nous explorerons comment les PEO permettent de cultiver l’ouverture : en donnant du sens au travail intellectuel\, en favorisant la collaboration et en contribuant à des biens communs de connaissance. \nDes exemples concrets — dont celui de la plateforme MediaWiki — illustreront comment les technologies libres peuvent soutenir des pratiques pédagogiques plus participatives\, pérennes et socialement pertinentes. Le webinaire s’adresse aux formateurs\, enseignants et concepteurs pédagogiques souhaitant faire évoluer leurs pratiques vers plus d’ouverture — non seulement dans les ressources\, mais dans la culture éducative elle-même.Cultiver l’ouverture\, c’est faire pousser des savoirs vivants — au-delà du temps d’un cours. \nAvec la participation et la collaboration de : Béatrice Pudelko\, professeure\, Université TÉLUQ

SUMMARY:Keeping Learning Open in an Era of Censorship
DESCRIPTION:Open Education has evolved from a focus on textbook savings to a broader movement for advancing social justice. In today’s geopolitical climate\, it can also serve as a form of resistance—challenging political narratives and restrictions. \n  \nIn this session from Norquest College\, we will explore censorship threats to Open Education. Conversely\, we will also speculate on how Open Education can undermine information controls and help sustain access to knowledge.

SUMMARY:Designing With\, Not Around\, Disabled Learners: A Screen-Reader Demo Experience
DESCRIPTION:This session from Equity Unbound will demonstrate why screen-reader access is important when designing learning materials\, especially Open Educational Resources. Have you ever wanted to know how people who are visually impaired or totally blind access your content? Come to this session and I\, a visually impaired screen-reader user and an accessibility expert myself\, will demonstrate for you the experience of a blind person navigating websites and digital materials. \nWe will begin with a TRIZ Liberating Structures activity in which participants will intentionally design the worst possible experience for someone using a screen reader. As we name common mistakes and exclusionary practices first\, we will surface the barriers that disabled users encounter every day. \nThrough screen-reader demonstrations on JAWS\, NVDA\, and Voiceover\, participants will experience how everyday design choices shape who can participate fully in learning spaces and who is required to work harder to feel “included” because the design was not made accessible from the beginning. Participants will see concrete examples of inaccessible practices\, such as poorly structured documents\, missing alt text\, cluttered layouts\, and excessive emoji use\, and how these choices interfere with learning and participation. \nThe session will connect these examples to the four principles of accessibility: perceivable\, operable\, user-friendly\, and real. We will also discuss reasonable accommodations and why accessibility must be built into course design rather than added later. Throughout the session\, participants will be invited to reflect\, ask questions\, and rethink their own materials. By the end\, they will leave with practical strategies for creating learning spaces that are genuinely inclusive for screen reader users. \nRecording Now Available\n\nSee also the presentation slides  and an anonymized chat log from this session

SUMMARY:A Community Like No Other: LibreTexts Academy and LibreNet Consortium
DESCRIPTION:The LibreTexts Academy is the professional development hub of the LibreVerse\, designed for faculty who are serious about open education but don’t have unlimited time to figure it all out alone. Whether you’re adopting an existing open textbook for the first time\, or building a fully custom course from the ground up\, the Academy meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go. \nMonthly webinars\, twice-weekly office hours\, and self-paced training modules cover everything from getting started with ADAPT to remixing content to making your materials accessible. For those ready to go deeper\, cohort programs\, in-person workshops\, and instructor certifications let you build real expertise and walk away with credentials to show for it. \nThe goal is simple: spend less time troubleshooting and more time teaching. Your students pay less. Your course feels like yours. \nThe LibreNet Consortium is a community of passionate educators dedicated to growing sustainable open education initiatives at their institutions. No matter where you are in your journey to bring down the cost of education\, and create more equitable pathways for your students\, the LibreNet Consortium provides the tools you need to ensure your efforts are sustainable for the road ahead. \nWhether you connect with us through Academy or the LibreNet (or both!)\, you will join a community that’s been doing this work — together — for decades.
