University of Edinburgh OER Service: Open Textbook Interview Series
2024-03-04 08:00 - 2024-03-08 17:00 (Europe/London) | University of Edinburgh, Old College, South Bridge, EH8 9YL, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
The University of Edinburgh has a long-standing commitment to providing and widening access to high quality online learning opportunities through open education and open educational resources (OER). This is supported by an OER Service and underpinned by our Open Educational Resources Policy that encourages staff and students to use, create and publish open licensed resources to enhance the quality of the student experience.
This year we’re celebrating Open Education Week by publishing a series of interviews with staff and students across the University who have created and published open textbooks. Open textbooks are books that have been made accessible online free of cost and are also openly licensed to allow free modifications, use, and sharing.​
Open textbooks have long been the common form of open educational resources in North America, with funding to support this activity, however to date, they have not seen extensive uptake in the UK, where there are different models of textbook use and engagement with OER tends to be supported by learning technologists rather than dedicated OER librarians.​ There has been renewed interest in open textbooks in the UK over the past five year as institutions face rapidly increasing e-textbook costs as they move away from print materials in response to the pivot to online learning triggered by the COVID pandemic, and longer-term trends in academic publishing.
In our series we speak to open textbook creators across the University of Edinburgh and hear why they decided to go down the open textbook path and what that journey has looked like. We’ll be publishing one interview each day throughout Open Education Week, but in the meantime here’s a wee introduction to each of our interviewees:
Rebecca Wojturska, the Open Access publishing officer, responsible for managing Edinburgh Diamond. Edinburgh Diamond offers free publishing services to support books, journals and conference proceedings created or led by University of Edinburgh academics, staff and students.
Dr Jill Mackay, Senior Lecturer (Veterinary Medical Education) at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, with a focus on interdisciplinary research methodology. Dr Mackay is a proponent of open science, and particularly exploring how education research can adopt open science practices. She has created and published multiple OER, including the open textbook R@R(D)SVS designed to help staff and students get to grips with with R programming.
Dr Peter Bankhead, Reader in the Institute of Genetics and Cancer at The University of Edinburgh. Creator of digital imaging open-source software, QuPath, which has been downloaded close to half a million times, cited in about 3,000 academic articles, and is used all over the world, both in academia and industry. Dr Bankhead has published his open textbook Introduction to Bioimage Analysis using GitHub and Jupiter Books.
Dr Nikki Moran, Senior Lecturer in Music at the ECA. Niki is lead author and presenter of the University of Edinburgh’s Coursera MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), Fundamentals of Music Theory, engaging 300000 active learners and recruiting around 500 new students per week. Fundamentals of Music Theory was the first open e-textbook published on Edinburgh Diamond as part of a pilot project in collaboration with the OER Service.
Mayu Ishimoto is an Architectural History and Heritage student who worked as an Open Content Curator intern with the OER Service over the summer of 2023. Mayu now works one day a week as an intern with the OER Service, and published the open textbook Birds of Midlothian as one of her summer projects.

3 Experiències Innovadores en Educació Oberta
2024-03-04 10:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Madrid) | Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Plaça de l'Acadèmia, Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain
En aquesta activitat 3 professors de diferents departament de la UAB presentaran 3 projectes que tenen en comú la seva implicació amb la innovació a l’aula i el seu compromís amb l’educació oberta.
Els projectes són els següents:
De l’aula a la taula de joc: construint coneixement compartit a través del projecte PhyloGenome
Descripció: PhyloGenome és un projecte d’innovació docent que fusiona l’aprenentatge de la genòmica amb la dinàmica d’un joc de cartes col·leccionables. A llarg del curs, l’alumnat treballa en la seqüenciació, assemblatge i anotació d’un genoma d’una espècie eucariota del seu interès, en paral·lel amb l’evolució de les altres activitats de l’assignatura. Al final, creen una carta que destaca la informació més rellevant del genoma que han investigat. El disseny de la carta i la dinàmica principal del joc es basen en el joc de cartes PhyloGame, de proveïment participatiu i accés obert. També és possible jugar seguint les dinàmiques dels jocs Nature Challenge i Timeline, convertint PhyloGenome en tres jocs en un. PhyloGenome té una pàgina web pròpia (phylogenome.omicsuab.org) on es poden descarregar totes les cartes i materials relacionats. A més, al través del mateix web la comunitat educativa pot contribuir amb noves cartes, fent de PhyloGenome un projecte cooperatiu i internacional en constant creixement. Tots els materials es distribueixen sota una llicència Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-SA. Durant la xerrada, s’explicarà d’on sorgeix i com s’ha desenvolupat el projecte PhyloGenome, com contribueix a l’aprenentatge de l’alumnat i el seu impacte social.

Expedició Tahina-Can: El viatge com a eina educativa
Descripció: Explicació de l’Expedició Tahina-Can (www.tahina-can.org), que organitza el Màster en Periodisme de Viatges de la UAB, com a experiència innovadora en educació que emfatitza el valor formatiu del viatge, del viatge a l’altre i del viatge introspectiu . Es reflexiona sobre l’aventura, l’exploració i el camí com una eina i un camí d’ensenyament i aprenentatge. A partir de vivències i trobades, a més de 10 països del món derivats de l’Expedició i altres viatges, es farà una particular volta al món educativa per incidir que, potser, som iguals en les diferències.
Ponent: Santiago Tejedor Calvo. Departament de Periodisme i de Ciències de la Comunicació

Recursos Educatius Oberts (REO) creats amb la Metodologia Playful Learning
Descripció: Playful Learning UAB representa un projecte on convergeixen la creació, la col·laboració i el joc per abordar desafiaments educatius al nostre entorn. Estudiants de Treballs de Final de Grau i Màster col·laboren per enfrontar reptes locals, des de les necessitats de l’ajuntament de Palau-solità i Plegamans fins als desafiaments al campus de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Adoptem la filosofia de co-creació dels Open Labs de la UAB, fomentant la col·laboració, el prototipat i la validació d’idees en un entorn obert i participatiu. Des de la gestació d’idees fins a la creació de prototips, el nostre procés involucra tant les persones destinatàries com els experts per assegurar que les nostres solucions siguin autèntiques i efectives. Tots els materials educatius generats es comparteixen en obert a la nostra web, el repositori de la UAB, Sketchfab, entre altres plataformes. És fonamental que els estudiants comprenguin la importància de publicar materials educatius oberts, adreçats a assegurar accés global a l’educació, fomentar la col·laboració i millora contínua, així com promoure la innovació mitjançant l’adaptació de metodologies pedagògiques, facilitant una educació més inclusiva i personalitzada.

OE Week Live! Special Session on AI Language Translation (of AI for Teachers)
2024-03-04 08:30 - 09:30 (America/Regina) | Online from Multiple Locations
One of the key opportunities for open content (and fast moving developments) is the use of AI is for language translation– potentially of great value for increasing access. How is it faring in practice? Is it viable for enough of thew world’s languages? How does one manage / implement a language translation project?
This special session came organically from a discussion in OEG Connect. And ironically or perhaps appropriately, the content it arose from is the new AI For Teachers open textbook by Colin de la Higuera and Jotsna Iyer made available initially in English, French, German, Slovenian, and Italian.
Within that discussion came word of interest from Sushumna Rao to translate this into Telugu leading to further email conversation between Colin and Sushumna, all of which seemed appropriate for an open conversation like we do for the OE Week Live webcasts. We just decided to make it happen!
If you have an interest in the issues and practices of AI for language translation, or are working on a project like this, we would like to have you be part of this discussion.
Watch live on YouTube and interact with guests in the studio or return later to enjoy the recordings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJemwqO0SDw
Or better yet, if you want to be part of the studio conversations with Sushumna amd Colin, indicate this session in our OE Week Studio signup form.
