SUMMARY:Empowering Course Design with Open Educational Resources (OER) in Learning Management Systems (LMS)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Shahram Fardadvand. \nThe integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) with Learning Management  Systems (LMS) such as Moodle and Canvas is redefining course design by  enabling educators to create accessible\, flexible\, and dynamic learning  experiences. This session explores how Pressbooks\, an open-source publishing platform\, improves LMS capabilities by simplifying the integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) into well-structured course designs. Pressbooks offers powerful export options for designing courses that combine chapters and materials from diverse OER sources. Educators can remix\, adapt\, and integrate content into unified course modules while retaining the interactivity and accessibility essential for today’s learners. \nThis presentation demonstrates how Pressbooks empowers educators to build flexible courses tailored to their curriculum by embedding resources directly within LMS platforms. Educators can improve teaching by using Pressbooks’ easy integration. This integration helps deliver content better and engages learners more. Examples of successful course designs will show how combining material from different Open Educational Resources (OER) improves teaching and learning. \nParticipants will learn to utilize Pressbooks and the LMS to create interactive\, accessible\, modular courses. This method provides equitable access to quality education and enables educators to tailor learning for diverse audiences.

SUMMARY:Une gestion de projet efficace pour le développement et la pérennité des REL:  le rôle stratégique de la personne chargée de projet pédagonumérique
DESCRIPTION:Cette conférence propose un retour d’expérience sur la création d’une ressource éducative libre (REL) à l’École des sciences de la gestion de l’UQAM\, en soulignant l’importance d’une gestion de projet structurée pour assurer le succès et la pérennité de telles initiatives. La réussite des projets REL et la mise en œuvre de pratiques éducatives ouvertes exigent bien plus qu’une simple volonté d’innovation. Elles reposent sur une coordination structurée et interdisciplinaire\, souvent sous-estimée dans les discours institutionnels\, mais reconnue comme un facteur clé de réussite dans la littérature. À partir d’une expérience de terrain\, nous montrerons comment une gestion de projet rigoureuse — intégrant la planification\, la coordination interdisciplinaire\, l’animation d’équipe\, le suivi\, la documentation et la diffusion — constitue un levier essentiel pour aboutir à une ressource cohérente\, libre\, accessible et réutilisable. \nSeront mis en évidence les différents leviers qui ont favorisé ce projet : la complémentarité des expertises (chargés de cours\, professeurs\, technopédagogues\, conseillers pédagogiques\, bibliothécaires\, étudiants auxiliaires\, graphistes\, techniciens multimédias\, réviseurs linguistiques)\, l’appui d’une politique locale\, un accompagnement soutenu\, ainsi que l’accès à une plateforme ouverte (Pressbooks) et à un environnement numérique d’apprentissage institutionnel (Moodle). \nCette présentation offre une réflexion sur les conditions à réunir pour pérenniser la création de REL à l’échelle d’un établissement\, tout en reconnaissant pleinement l’expertise des professionnels en gestion de projets spécialisés en pédagogie numérique comme facteur déterminant de succès. \nAvec la participation et la collaboration de : Sirléia Ferreira Rosa\, chargée de projets pédagonumériques\, UQAM
