In Your Likeness: The Anatomy Video and Imagery Diversity (AVID) project- presented by Dave Andrews
2024-03-07 16:00 - 16:20 (America/Toronto) | University of Windsor, 401 Sunset Avenue, Windsor, Ontario, Canada
The purpose of the Anatomy Video and Imagery Diversity (AVID) project is to create anatomical illustrations and short instructional videos that depict the diversity of humans, including people of different ages, sexes, body compositions, skin tones, hair colours and styles. People with amputations, prosthetics, tattoos and piercings are also portrayed in the images that have been produced to date.
This joint initiative between the University of Windsor and the University of Calgary engages medical illustrators and students, many of whom are from equity-deserving groups, to create the images and videos. These products are stored in an open digital repository that can be accessed by anyone worldwide for teaching and other non-commercial purposes.
This presentation will provide an overview of the AVID project, illustrate how it will help students see their likeness in the material they are learning, and introduce the digital repository and samples of the content currently available within it.

Converting Your Math Classes to OER With LibreTexts
2024-03-07 15:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | LibreTexts, Davis, CA, United States
Over a period of three semesters, the Mathematics department at Cosumnes River College transformed their entire STEM pathway to OER materials and textbooks using the LibreTexts platform. At this point, a student can earn an A.S. in Mathematics at CRC without paying anything for course materials (at least in the mathematics classes). Additionally, this transition to OER allowed several other STEM programs to offer fully ZTC degrees. In this talk, mathematics professor Roy Simpson, who transitioned six of the courses, will speak about his experiences with the process and provide some recommendations on how to speed up the transition process.

EPALE Akademie: Future Skills – Agiles Arbeiten in der Erwachsenenbildung
2024-03-08 10:00 - 14:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Nationale Agentur beim BIBB, Bonn, Germany
Vom 7.-28. März veranstaltet EPALE Deutschland die EPALE-Akademie Future Skills – Agiles Arbeiten in der Erwachsenenbildung.
Heute benötigtes Wissen, Fertigkeiten, Fähigkeiten und Einstellungen von Menschen unterliegen im Zusammenspiel verschiedener Systeme einem stetigen Wandel. Sich transformierende Kontextbedingungen, die durch die Digitalisierung, Automatisierung, Globalisierung, Klimawandel oder Pandemien beschleunigt werden, verändern auch das Arbeitsumfeld, in dem sich Menschen wiederfinden. Menschen stehen zunehmend vor komplexer werdenden Herausforderungen, die nicht mehr oder nur mit viel Aufwand mit den bisher erlernten Herangehensweisen überwunden werden können. Doch wie können wir mit zunehmender Komplexität umgehen?
Aus der Arbeit mit agilen Rahmenwerken aus der Software-Entwicklung wissen wir, dass Agilität Menschen, Teams und Organisationen helfen kann, durch adaptive Lösungen Werte für komplexe Probleme zu schaffen. Daher ist es das Ziel dieser Akademie, Fachkräften aus dem Bereich Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung die Möglichkeit zu geben, das Zusammenspiel von Agilität und menschenzentrierter Entwicklung von Lernangeboten zu verstehen und gewinnbringend in ihren Arbeitsalltag zu integrieren.
An zwei vierstündigen Workshop-Tagen erhalten die Teilnehmenden Input zum Thema Agilität und Lernen, Möglichkeiten zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung und der Bedeutung für den eigenen Arbeitskontext. In einer 3-wöchigen Konzeptionsphase zwischen den Workshops erarbeiten die Teilnehmenden anhand eines Beispiels aus der eigenen Praxis ein erstes Konzept eines menschenzentrierten und agilen Lehr-/Lernangebotes oder entwickeln bereits bestehende Konzepte weiter. Die Konzeptionsphase wird anhand von online-Sprechstunden der beiden Referenten begleitet.
Terminübersicht zur EPALE Akademie:

1. Workshop-Termin | Donnerstag, 08.03.2024 | 10:00 – 14:00 Uhr
Begleitete Selbstlernphase: 09.03.-27.03.2024
2. Workshop-Termin | Donnerstag, 28.03.2024 | 10:00 – 14:00 Uhr
