SUMMARY:eCampusOntario Open Library Forum on Affordability
DESCRIPTION:Join the eCampusOntario Open Library team in an open discussion on Affordability\, Open Education\, and Low-cost designations in higher education. We’ll be presenting some findings on affordability initiatives across Ontario’s post-secondary sector and spotlighting efforts at various institutions across the province. Participants will be able to help co-design the future of affordability and sustainability\, with an eye towards finding common definitions and shared languages to ensure OER and other resources can support keeping post secondary education affordable for all learners. \n\nJoignez-vous à l’équipe de la bibliothèque ouverte eCampusOntario dans une discussion ouverte sur l’abordabilité\, l’éducation ouverte et les désignations à faible coût dans le domaine de l’enseignement supérieur. Nous présenterons certaines conclusions sur les initiatives en matière d’abordabilité dans le secteur postsecondaire de l’Ontario et mettrons en lumière les efforts déployés dans divers établissements de la province. Les participants pourront prendre part à la conception participative de l’avenir de l’abordabilité et de la durabilité. L’objectif : trouver des définitions et des langages communs afin que les REL et d’autres ressources puissent contribuer à maintenir l’enseignement postsecondaire à un niveau abordable pour tous les apprenants.

SUMMARY:Finding and Using OER
DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest barriers to OER adoption and use is finding the right resource. In this session\, we will look at some McMaster-specific resources that will help you in your search (including McMaster’s OER by Discipline Guide version 2.0 and the OER Finding Service)\, explore some OER repositories\, and consider some strategies to fine tune your results. We will also look at how you can evaluate the OER you’ve found for possible use in your teaching.

SUMMARY:Practicing Democratic Education with a Course-Based Custom GPT and Dialogic Prompts
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on interactive workshop presented by Dr Olga Shugurova explores the innovative use of AI such as custom GPT models and dialogical prompts (Matusov\, ChatGPT4\, Smith & Shugurova\,2023) to create democratic open educational resources (OERs). \nThe use of conversational AI in education has shown promising results in enhancing learning outcomes (Chiu et al.\, 2023). A systematic review by Henry et al. (2021) highlighted the need for an interdisciplinary and critical approach to AI literacy. Labadze et al. (2023) reported that chatbot technology significantly improves learning achievement\, explicit reasoning\, and knowledge retention. \nDr Shugurova will demonstrate how educators can build their own course-based GPT that caters to diverse student goals\, interests\, needs and creates a psychologically safe learning environment. \n\nParticipants will learn how to:\nDesign and fine-tune custom GPT models for specific educational contexts\nCraft effective dialogical prompts that engage students and promote critical thinking without any technical skills\nIntegrate course content to create comprehensive\, interactive learning experiences that inspire learning\nAddress ethical considerations and potential biases in this GPT-powered educational pathway\n\nThe workshop will showcase the practical examples of custom GPT applications in various disciplines\, highlighting their potential to democratize education. It will also discuss strategies for ensuring accessibility and inclusivity when implementing these technologies. \nThrough hands-on activities and live demonstrations\, attendees will gain practical experience in developing their own course-based GPT. The session will conclude with a collaborative discussion on the future of AI in open education and its implications for democratic education. \nThis workshop is suitable for educational leaders\, educators\, instructional designers\, and educational technologists interested in exploring the intersection of AI and open education. Participants will leave with actionable insights and resources to begin implementing custom GPT in their own educational contexts.

SUMMARY:AI Literacies for Open Educators: An Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming education\, bringing both opportunities and challenges for open educators. This interactive workshop\, hosted by Dr Doug Belshaw and Dr Angela Gunder\, explores a plurality of “AI Literacies” for understanding and applying AI within open education. \nDrawing from the recently-published paper– part of MIT’s AI and Open Education Initiative–  AI Literacies and the Advancement of Opened Culture: Global Perspectives and Practices\, the session will provide a structured introduction to AI literacies. The hosts will then guide participants through a discussion around the ethical\, technical\, and pedagogical implications for open educators using generative AI.  \nFinally\, participants will be encouraged to add any relevant openly-licensed resources to an open access repository. \nKey takeaways for participants: \n\nA practical understanding of AI literacies as they apply to open education.\nAn approach to help co-create definitions and frameworks relating to AI literacies in specific contexts.\nAccess to an open repository of AI and open education resources.

SUMMARY:Integrating AI to Produce OER using OER Conversion Tool convOERter
DESCRIPTION:With the rapid advancement of generative AI technologies nowadays\, it is beneficial to use these technologies effectively to create Open Educational Resources (OER). This talk introduces the essentialness of using generative AI technology in the OER context\, particularly by applying a Text-to-Image model in the OER conversion tool “convOERter.” \n“convOERter” is a web-based tool that has been developed to convert existing educational materials containing images into ones with a Creative Common (CC) license. The development of the conversion tool greatly eases the process of creating OER content\, as it automatically captures the images in the original materials and allows educators to search for a replacement image that is CC-licensed in OER portals. However\, despite the substantial collection of high-quality images provided by these portals\, finding a replacement image that precisely aligns with the educator’s requirements remains challenging due to the static nature of any database. \nGenerative AI refers to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create new content\, like text\, images\, music\, audio\, and videos based on human input. In the field of image generation\, various models are now available which offer a valuable opportunity for generating high-quality OER content. When educators cannot find suitable replacement images in Creative Commons portals\, employing a Text-to-Image AI model becomes essential for generating appropriate images. In this talk\, we will introduce the OER conversion tool and present the first steps towards integrating AI models within the tool.
