SUMMARY:Uses and Abuses of AI Agents in Education (OneHE webinar)
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Anna Mills will explore how student and teacher uses of agentic AI browsers affect higher education. She will describe possible applications of agentic browsers for teaching assistance and ways to reduce these browsers’ privacy and security risks. \nThese days\, “AI agent” sometimes refers to a custom chatbot and sometimes to an agentic AI browser that will take actions on the user’s behalf\, like clicking and filling out forms autonomously. In this webinar\, Anna Mills\, English Instructor\, College of Marin\, USA\, will clarify how students might be using agentic AI browsers to automate homework completion and what can be done about that\, and will look at ways educators might consider using them to assist their teaching without jeopardizing student data. \nThis webinar is open to all interested educators.

SUMMARY:Shifting Power: University Openness and Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Please join the University of Regina for an Open Education Speaker Series online presentation with Dr. George Siemens\, University of South Australia/ University of Texas (Arlington) \nSession Description: Universities have become end-consumers of AI. Unlike previous technology innovations\, where higher education played an active role in technology developments and adoption\, learner and institutional use of AI has advanced with only minimal voice from the university system itself. While frontier labs\, such as Anthropic and OpenAI\, have focused on offering services for learners\, they’ve largely sidestepped the system\, leaving universities as spectators. This talk will highlight the urgent need for universities to collaborate around shared data\, technology\, and services to ensure that the mission of serving learners remains central in the adoption of AI in courses and classrooms. When universities collaborate and pursue open standards\, they have a sufficiently powerful voice to shape the products and services offered by big tech companies\, shifting power from closed systems to the network of education institutions. \n  \nPresenter bio: George Siemens researches how human and artificial cognition intersect in knowledge processes. He co-founded Matter and Space – a human development platform that responds to the systemic impact of AI on learning\, human development\, and wellness. He now serves as Chief AI Officer at SNHU. He is the founding Director and Professor of the Center for Change and Complexity in Learning (C3L) at University of South Australia and developed the Masters of Science in Learning Analytics at University of Texas at Arlington. He has delivered keynote addresses in more than 40 countries on the influence of technology and media on education\, organizations\, and society. His work has been profiled in provincial\, national\, and international newspapers (including NY Times)\, radio\, and television. He has served as PI or Co-PI on grants funded by NSF\, SSHRC (Canada)\, OLT (Australia)\, Intel\, Boeing\, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation\, and the Soros Foundation. He has received numerous awards\, including honorary doctorates from Universidad de San Martín de Porres and Fraser Valley University for his pioneering work in learning\, technology\, and networks. He holds an honorary professorship with University of Edinburgh. Dr. Siemens is a founding President of the Society for Learning Analytics Research (http://www.solaresearch.org/).  In 2008\, he pioneered massive open online courses (sometimes referred to as MOOCs). George is President of the Global Research Alliance for AI in Learning and Education (GRAILE – www.graile.ai).

SUMMARY:Copim Conference 2026! Exploring the future of community-led open access books
DESCRIPTION:This free\, two-day hybrid conference will bring together the people and projects shaping the future of equitable\, community-driven open access book publishing. Timed to coincide with the conclusion of the Copim Open Book Futures project in April 2026\, this gathering will look forward and debate: what’s next for community-led open access books? \n‘Community-led’ publishing can be difficult to define\, and even more difficult to implement. How to identify our communities (which are usually overlapping)\, make meaningful and practical connections with them\, and develop open book publishing infrastructures that are used\, governed\, and sustained by our communities has been an ongoing challenge that the two Copim projects have grappled with both theoretically and practically over the last six and a half years. During this time\, we have also engaged with established and brand-new networks that are trying to achieve similar things in different countries around the world. \nAt this conference we will be asking essential questions and forging collaborative strategies about what comes next for open access book publishing. Our panels and workshops will tackle topics ranging from the likely outlook for collective funding mechanisms in a higher education landscape characterised by austerity and political vandalism; the role of librarians in advancing Diamond OA book publishing; how to make open access books accessible to everyone who might want to read them; the fragmentations and gaps in metadata that inhibit the discoverability of OA books and how to overcome these; the preservation of PhD research in systems that are targets for hackers; how experimental book publishing will change in the coming years (and if it will change how we publish); and where the new scholar-led OA presses are coming from. We will also reflect on broader overarching questions throughout the event\, including how to sustain community activity amid political\, economic\, and institutional crises; how to identify shared goals and forge effective collaborations between groups\, networks\, and institutions that have different priorities and ways of working; and how to guard against the co-option and hollowing-out of community-based models\, language\, and organising strategies by commercial actors whose main priority is revenue generation. \nThrough lively panels and discussions\, we will tackle the most pressing themes for community-led open access books today\, with a focus on collective action. It’s an opportunity for people across the community-led open access ecosystem to chart the next phase of open access publishing\, together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe would love you to join us\, either in person (at Loughborough University | London) or online (via Zoom). Programme details are gradually being released so keep an eye on your inbox!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday 26 February 2026 (10:00 – 17:15 GMT)\nFriday 27 February 2026 (09:00 – 16:15 GMT)\n\nRegister now!

SUMMARY:RIOS Institute Brew & Banter with Dr. Allison Lester
DESCRIPTION:Brew and Banter is RIOS’ monthly virtual series where community members come together for informal conversations about current topics in STEM education. Each session offers a chance for attendees to share updates\, spark new ideas\, and learn from one another in a relaxed\, welcoming space. \nToday’s guest is Dr. Allison Lester\, AI Literacy Professor at Arizona State University\, on  “Co-Creating with AI to Enhance Critical Thinking” \nAs generative AI reshapes higher education\, many instructors are responding with tighter rules and greater surveillance. This session offers a different entry point. Drawing on classroom-based inquiry and open pedagogical practices\, it explores how co-creating with AI can strengthen critical thinking when learning environments are built on trust\, shared norms\, and student authorship. Rather than focusing on rules or detection\, the session highlights co-creating AI policy with students as a meaningful learning activity. Participants will see how shared agreements about AI use can open space for ethical reflection\, student voice\, and deeper engagement. \nThrough classroom examples\, the session illustrates how students use AI to build tools and projects\, encounter ethical challenges\, and return to collective norms around verification\, responsibility\, and judgment. Designed for higher education faculty across disciplines\, this session offers practical strategies and a clear framework for integrating AI in ways that align with existing teaching values and support thoughtful\, student-centered learning.

SUMMARY:OER und ihre Rolle beim Weg zur digitalen Souveränität von Hochschulen
DESCRIPTION:Offene Bildungsressourcen (OER) sind weithin dafür bekannt\, dass sie den Zugang zu Bildung verbessern und den Wissensaustausch ermöglichen.  \nIn diesem Vortrag werden drei wichtige Aspekte von OER untersucht\, die für interuniversitäre Zusammenarbeit von zentraler Bedeutung sind. Erstens ermöglichen OER die rechtssichere Nutzung von Bildungsressourcen über nationale Grenzen hinweg und beseitigen Unsicherheiten hinsichtlich des Urheberrechts\, insbesondere bei Übersetzungen und Adaptionen. Dies gewährleistet die Einhaltung unterschiedlicher rechtlicher Rahmenbedingungen und fördert gleichzeitig die Zusammenarbeit. Zweitens unterstützen OER die Nachhaltigkeit\, indem sie sicherstellen\, dass Investitionen in Bildungsmaterialien nicht durch restriktive Nutzungsrechte eingeschränkt werden. Dies ist besonders wichtig bei Kooperationen\, in denen gemeinsame Ressourcen von zentraler Bedeutung für die Förderung einer langfristigen Zusammenarbeit und die Ausrichtung auf Nachhaltigkeitsziele sind.  \nSchliesslich tragen OER zur digitalen Souveränität bei\, indem sie Institutionen und Pädagog:innen in die Lage versetzen\, Ressourcen zu erstellen\, anzupassen und zu teilen\, ohne auf proprietäre Plattformen oder Lizenzen angewiesen zu sein. Dies deckt sich mit dem übergeordneten strategischen Ziel europäischer Hochschulen\, die Autonomie und Widerstandsfähigkeit ihrer digitalen Ökosysteme zu fördern. Der Vortrag zielt also darauf ab die strategische Bedeutung von OER für die Förderung von Zusammenarbeit\, Nachhaltigkeit und Souveränität innerhalb europäischer Hochschulen zu verdeutlichen und auch zu erweitern. \nLeitung: Martin Ebner\, Priv.-Doz. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn.\, TU Graz

SUMMARY:L’éducation ouverte et libre en action
DESCRIPTION:Objectifs : Partir d’un exemple de cours conçu dans une approche d’EOL pour identifier ce que l’adoption de ce type d’approche permet de mettre en place et de créer. Donner des éléments théoriques et des outils pratiques pour pouvoir s’y essayer. \n\n\nRésumé : Enseigner un cours de méthodologie de recherche de niveau Master à l’aide d’un vrai projet de recherche en attribuant un rôle de chercheurs et chercheuses novices aux étudiant-es\, comment ça marche ? En quoi est-on dans une approche d’EOL ? Quelles ressources éducatives libres (REL) utilise-t-on en amont et lesquelles produit-on en aval ? Pourquoi parle-t-on de pratiques éducatives ouvertes (PEO) dans ce cas précis ? \n\n\nEn partant de cet exemple concret de la pratique\, le webinaire illustrera une approche d’EOL en action ainsi que ses composantes (REL et PEO). Pour les enseignant-es désireux de s’essayer à ces pratiques pédagogiques\, des cadres et outils seront présentés (voir les ressources pour un avant-goût).

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.

SUMMARY:Beyond Cost Savings: How Open Educational Resources Support Student Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Description\nTextbooks can be expensive\, stressful\, and sometimes out of reach\, and that pressure often shows up in students’ well-being and learning. \nIn this session\, we’ll talk about how Open Educational Resources (OER) can ease some of that stress by giving students free\, day-one access to course materials and more flexible\, inclusive ways to learn.\nTogether\, faculty and students will explore research\, real examples\, and small design choices that can make learning feel more supportive\, human\, and equitable. You’ll leave with practical ideas you can use right away.\nLearning Outcomes\n\nDescribe how Open Educational Resources (OER) can reduce student stress and support mental well-being by giving examples from research and practice.\nIdentify strategies for using OER to create more equitable\, flexible\, and inclusive learning experiences in their own courses or studies.\nReflect on the impact of course materials on mental health and propose at least one actionable change they could make to support student well-being through OER.\n\nWho should participate?\nFaculty\, students\, instructional designers\, librarians\, and educational developers who are interested in how open educational resources can reduce student stress and create more inclusive learning experiences.\nGoogle Meet Information\nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/ddu-wnki-ucm \nOr dial: (CA) +1 587-797-8162‬ PIN: ‪854 299 637‬# \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/ddu-wnki-ucm?pin=9011646883513

SUMMARY:OER in Tenure and Promotion at Virginia Tech
DESCRIPTION:In June 2026\, Virginia Tech added open educational resources (OER) and open source software (OSS) to university-level Tenure and Promotion Guidelines. This session will review this clarification\, present ways that Virginia Tech faculty have leveraged OER creation or adaptation in promotion dossiers\, and provide a guide to sources of available usage data. This usage data is most relevant to Virginia Tech-created OER\, but the model of data collection is transferable to other institutions. \nFor background on this presentation\, read: https://openvt.lib.vt.edu/2025/10/07/oer-promotion-tenure

SUMMARY:Keynote – Open Hearts: Empowering Educators with Open Resources and Practices
DESCRIPTION:For Open Education Week San Diego Community College District brings you this keynote talk by Brenna Clarke Gray\, Assistant Professor\, Learning Design and Innovation and Coordinator\, Educational Technologies at Thompson Rivers University. \nSession Description\nI don’t know about you\, but in this particular moment — politically\, economically\, culturally — I’ve never felt more sharply the distinction between my values as an educator and the realities of the world outside my classroom. To celebrate Open Education Week\, then\, let’s all take a moment to find hope in the possibilities and promises of open education. In this session\, through a little bit of theoretical framing and a lot of practical examples\, we’ll discuss how open resources and open practices can empower us as educators to build a more equitable\, accessible\, and engaging learning experience for our students and for those far beyond our classroom walls. Join me as we open our hearts and share the possibilities of open education in a moment when we all really need to remember how far our good work can spread. \nSpeaker Details\nBrenna Clarke Gray is an open educator and critical technologist powered by righteous indignation and lattes and based at Thompson Rivers University in Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc\, where she co-founded the TRU Open Press. Her work explores the possibilities of a care-centred approach to the ethical and equitable use of educational technologies. Her most recent work includes the peer-reviewed scholarly teaching and learning podcast Community of Praxis and the forthcoming Routledge Introduction to Canadian Comics. She holds a PhD from the University of New Brunswick\, where she was a Canada Graduate Scholar. Outside of the university’s walls\, she is an avid reader\, compulsive baker\, and tired mum. If she was a creature in the Jim Henson cinematic universe\, she would be Cotterpin Doozer.
