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.

SUMMARY:Open Microbiology: Building Global Learning Communities Through the OpenStax Microbiology Ancillaries Project
DESCRIPTION:The OpenStax Microbiology Ancillaries (OSMA) Project is an innovative open education initiative that brings together educators\, researchers\, and students to develop high-quality\, openly licensed learning resources for microbiology. This project enhances accessibility\, fosters inclusivity\, and empowers both students and instructors with adaptable\, freely available educational materials in the ADAPT homework system and H5P/LibreTexts Studio. \nThis presentation will highlight the international collaboration at the heart of OSMA\, featuring insights from Ying Liu\, biology professor at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) and visiting scholar at the University of Dundee\, and her team of students in San Francisco and Dundee\, Scotland. Together\, we will explore how cross-border teamwork enriches resource development\, ensuring diverse perspectives and global relevance. \nStudents from both institutions will share their experiences as co-creators\, reflecting on the impact of open education on their learning\, professional growth\, and sense of community. Their voices will illuminate how participation in OER projects enhances scientific literacy\, collaboration skills\, and engagement with real-world microbiology applications. \nBy showcasing OSMA’s student-driven\, equity-focused approach\, this session will inspire educators and institutions to embrace open education and foster meaningful learning experiences through international partnerships.
