SUMMARY:Beyond Cost Savings: How Open Educational Resources Support Student Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Description\nTextbooks can be expensive\, stressful\, and sometimes out of reach\, and that pressure often shows up in students’ well-being and learning. \nIn this session\, we’ll talk about how Open Educational Resources (OER) can ease some of that stress by giving students free\, day-one access to course materials and more flexible\, inclusive ways to learn.\nTogether\, faculty and students will explore research\, real examples\, and small design choices that can make learning feel more supportive\, human\, and equitable. You’ll leave with practical ideas you can use right away.\nLearning Outcomes\n\nDescribe how Open Educational Resources (OER) can reduce student stress and support mental well-being by giving examples from research and practice.\nIdentify strategies for using OER to create more equitable\, flexible\, and inclusive learning experiences in their own courses or studies.\nReflect on the impact of course materials on mental health and propose at least one actionable change they could make to support student well-being through OER.\n\nWho should participate?\nFaculty\, students\, instructional designers\, librarians\, and educational developers who are interested in how open educational resources can reduce student stress and create more inclusive learning experiences.\nGoogle Meet Information\nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/ddu-wnki-ucm \nOr dial: (CA) +1 587-797-8162‬ PIN: ‪854 299 637‬# \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/ddu-wnki-ucm?pin=9011646883513

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:Science Education for a Just and Sustainable World
DESCRIPTION:March 2-6\, 2026 marks Open Education Week and UN SDG Action and Awareness Week. Join BCcampus\, the BC Open Education Librarians\, University Canada West\, and Langara College for a celebration of both of these events with keynote speaker Dr. Karen Cangialosi. \n  \nAs global social and environmental problems grow ever more intractable\, we need transformative pedagogies that support our students to become critical\, creative social agents capable of building a more sustainable and just world. \nOpen Pedagogy has the potential to shift our traditional modes of teaching and learning towards practices that nurture students to be creators of knowledge focused on the global good. These hopes could be realized if we are responsive to the dual upheavals caused by AI and the attacks on higher education. We can educate our STEM students to become scientists\, and all of our students\, to become citizens that are cognizant of an uncertain and challenging future\, and work from non-traditional frameworks–those that resist competitive\, hierarchical\, exploitative models of science. \nKey to achieving this vision is teaching undergraduates how to center Open Science as the default for how science is practiced by deeply integrating Open Pedagogical practices that support students to address inherent inequities\, problems with data-sharing\, and other barriers to the adoption of Open Science. To that end\, the OCTOPUS project was developed to support higher education faculty and staff to create openly licensed materials that may eventually constitute a comprehensive undergraduate Open Science-Open Pedagogy program. \n  \nSpeaker bio\nDr. Karen Cangialosi is a passionate change agent\, dedicated educator\, and student advocate with national recognition in open education\, STEM ed\, and digital pedagogy. As a Professor of Biology at Keene State College (now emeritus)\, she brought open education into the biology curriculum and led campus-wide initiatives to make science education more affordable and inclusive. She now serves as Director of Open Education & Open Science at the RIOS Institute which promotes racial justice and openness in STEM education. Her work centers on transforming higher ed systems to better serve students\, especially marginalized students. Her Educause article\, An AI-Driven Optimism for Transforming Higher Education (It’s Not What You Think) considers the juxtaposition of AI in education. She continues to advocate for integrating Open Science and Open Education to reimagine how we teach\, learn\, and collaborate in STEM\, always with a focus on transparency\, justice\, and meaningful change. To that end\, she is project director for the OCTOPUS project (Open Collaboration for Transformative Open Pedagogy to support Undergraduate Open Science Education) a collaborative effort between the BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium and the RIOS Institute.

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

SUMMARY:Open Education Solutions for Complex Times
DESCRIPTION:Join the University of Regina for this special Open Education Week presentation\, “Open Education Solutions for Complex Times” with Anne-Marie Scott\, Vice President of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) in Vancouver\, BC. \nAbstract: Post-secondary institutions across Canada are facing a complex and uncertain future as they rapidly adjust to economic scarcity\, and it is clear that business-as-usual operating models will not support us to meet the challenges ahead. Compounding this is a tendency towards historical amnesia and constant reinvention; often the answers we need are already out there waiting to be discovered. The Commonwealth of Learning has a long history of working in contexts where complexity and uncertainty are the norm and has successfully used open education as an effective innovation toolkit. Drawing on examples\, this talk will outline the ways in which various elements of the open education ecosystem could be used to meet some of these big challenges in Canada head-on\, and (I hope) provide some inspiration to keep us moving forward. \nPresenter bio: Anne-Marie Scott is the Vice President of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) in Vancouver\, Canada where she supports COL’s mission and work in open learning for sustainable development across fifty-six countries. She is an internationally recognized expert in digital\, online\, and open education\, with leadership experience across higher education and the non-profit sector. She previously served as Deputy Provost of Athabasca University in Canada\, and before that spent nearly two decades at the University of Edinburgh in the UK. She serves on the Board of the Open Source Initiative and continues to teach in the Masters in Learning and Technology at Royal Roads University in Canada.

SUMMARY:Mediating Change: Community Networks for Open Education/ Catalyser le changement : réseaux communautaires pour l’éducation ouverte
DESCRIPTION:This webinar explores how communities of practice and mediation—and the tools they use to stay informed and build capacity in their profession—can become the driving force behind open professional learning in FSL and French-language education in minority contexts. Building on the Communautés Camerise model\, a Canadian project co-led by York\, Ottawa\, Laurier\, 10 school boards and partner organizations\, as an interinstitutional space for innovation and training\, we will highlight how formal and informal exchanges\, resource sharing\, and cross-sector collaboration (school boards\, postsecondary institutions\, and associations) can reduce professional isolation and transform “good ideas and/or practices” into adaptable\, transferable open educational resources (OER) for professional learning that can move across contexts. \nParticipants will examine how mediation across communities (bridging roles\, shared protocols\, and feedback loops) enables a shift from informal sharing to sustained co-creation of OER : educators exchanging practice-based knowledge\, iterating on resources\, and producing ready-to-use materials designed to be reused\, revised\, remixed\, and redistributed—principles at the heart of open education. The session will showcase a concrete “ecosystem” that communities can build and maintain together: a hub to design\, test\, and share professional learning resources and practices; a collaboration incubator to strengthen supportive networks among institutions and individuals; and a living observatory to continuously document needs and support evidence-informed improvement. \nDuring this webinar\, participants will discover practical community tools that support the development of open-content prototypes: pedagogical scanning/curation\, collaborative work and exchange spaces\, shared templates\, and lightweight documentation of pathways (from one classroom/ecosystem to another) that preserves context so others can responsibly reuse and modify resources. We will also discuss how a continuous experimentation mindset—including supportive tools such as AI-assisted planning aligned with competency-based assessment such as CEFR/DELF and curriculum—can accelerate iteration while keeping professional judgment\, inclusion\, and accessibility at the center of instructional design practices for developing teaching units. \nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will leave with: (1) a community exchange map identifying key mediation points and the tools that enable collaboration\, (2) an open prototype (resource\, workflow\, or professional learning content concept) to refine with peers\, and (3) a practical plan to sustain OER creation through community governance\, shared accountability\, and ongoing peer-supported upskilling.

SUMMARY:Wikipedia & Open Pedagogy
DESCRIPTION:For decades Wikipedia was stigmatized because of its self-governed and open approach to content creation and revision. After 25 years since its launch\, Wikipedia has offered a unique opportunity for students in open pedagogical environments. This Brock University session will address the incorporation of Wikipedia assignments into post-secondary courses\, popular initiatives that might appeal to instructors and students\, and important considerations for instructors who are contemplating incorporating Wikipedia into their course design. Hosted by a Wikipedian/Librarian who brings 10 years of experience editing\, teaching\, and researching Wikipedia\, participants will leave this session with an understanding of what is required to build Wikipedia into an existing or new course\, what they can expect from students\, and what students can expect to learn. \nThis Workshop will be lead by Denise Smith\, Head\, Research Lifecycle\, Brock Library

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

SUMMARY:Open for Student Success Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join Georgia State University for our 4th annual Open Education Week Celebration\,\nwhere professionals and students unite with the common purpose to learn and share insights about open and affordable education. \nThe Open for Student Success Symposium is free\, online\, and open to all\nand will take place on March 4\, 2026 from 9:30am to 4:30pm ET. \nRegister now! \n\n\n\nOur distinguished keynote speaker this year will be Josh Bolick\, Head of the David Shulenburger Office Of Scholarly Communication & Copyright at the University of Kansas (KU). With Maria Bonn and Will Cross\, Josh co-edited Scholarly Communication Librarianship and Open Knowledge (ACRL\, 2023) and co-founded the Scholarly Communication Notebook (SCN). A former presenter for the Open Education Network and OER Research Fellow\, he advocates for open access\, authors’ rights\, open education\, and issues related and is interested in OER as a vehicle for expanding scholarly communication knowledge and expertise. \n\n\nFrom 2016-2022\, he led open education programs at KU and remains engaged in open education advocacy in a variety of ways. He is published in the Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication\, the Journal of Copyright in Education and Librarianship\, PeerJ\, and PLOS Biology\, as well as other venues. Josh holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and a master’s in library and information studies from Florida State University. In his free time he enjoys cycling\, horror\, and culinary adventures\, especially tacos and barbecue. \nIn his keynote speech\, “Open but Not Finished: What We’ve Won and the Work Ahead\,” Bolick will summarize the shift to open\, examine emerging and lingering challenges\, and consider how the Open Movement can continue progress toward a more open research and teaching culture: \nWhile advocating for openness can feel like a struggle (and it often is)\, we’ve also achieved a lot over the last 20+ years. Open access scholarship and open educational resources and practices are normalized to a large degree\, and that’s worth celebrating. Still\, there are significant challenges to further growth\, including in hiring\, annual review\, promotion and tenure\, and other evaluation practices and the reward structures that shape and inform them. In this talk\, I will summarize the shift to open and what we’ve won\, examine emergent and lingering challenges\, and consider what we can do to continue pushing for more open research and teaching cultures\, with a focus on collaboration and support. \nIn addition to the keynote speech\, the symposium will feature presentations by 22 professionals from nine U.S. states\, as well as from Canada and Mexico.
