SUMMARY:. . . but is it Learning? Game-based Learning and Sharing OE Resources in a College Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:At Sask Polytechnic\, we’re learning how to use games in education. Last year\, the Saskatoon library set up a gaming lab (the SPARK Lab — Simulated Play And Real Knowledge) and this year we are using an Open education tool called H5P (integrated into Pressbooks) to make interactive learning modules.  \nThis session will explore using game-based learning and gamification\, and how they can help engage students\, with some success stories. Join Sask Polytechnic instructors and technology support specialists as we discuss gaming in education. Catch our event recordings\, if you missed the registration.

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: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.

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:Systematic Information Management
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Online Education & Learning (COEL)\, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Open University (BRAOU)\, Hyderabad\, is pleased to announce a free international webinar titled “Systematic Information Management.” This insightful session will be delivered by: \nDr. Dominique Scheffel-Dunand\, PhD – Directrice\, Cycles supérieurs en Études francophones\, Lead\, Camerise Formation & Recherche (FSL Hub\, York University)\, Professeure agrégée\, Études françaises\, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies\, York University\, Canada. \nWatch the Recording Here.\nRegister for free\nWebinar context:\nOpen Education thrives on collaboration\, shared knowledge\, and sustainable practices. Yet in an era marked by rapid digital transformation\, increasingly fragmented educational ecosystems\, and widening learner diversity\, Communities of Practice face a dual challenge: managing expanding volumes of open resources and translating them into actionable guidance that supports teachers’ evolving professional realities.\n\nThis session positions Systematic Information Management as a foundational strategy to operationalize pedagogical horizon scanning\, helping educators identify\, interpret\, and apply emerging practices\, research insights\, and open resources to design relevant\, inclusive learning experiences.\n\nOur webinar will highlight how structured curation\, shared taxonomies\, and open repositories can transform scattered signals (OER\, classroom innovations\, research findings\, policy shifts\, and community knowledge) into reusable learning assets—toolkits\, learning pathways\, micro-credentials\, and practice-oriented briefs—that inform\, train\, and upskill Communities of Practice. In contexts where professional learning days are often dedicated to policy messaging rather than sustained instructional adaptation\, embedding systematic information practices within open ecosystems enables communities to co-create knowledge\, strengthen OER sustainability\, and build inclusive\, cross-border professional learning networks that respond to diverse learners and real classroom needs.
