SUMMARY:OEWeek Live: Open Education Week Wrap Up (and What's Next?)
DESCRIPTION:This is the last of the OEWeek Live! sessions for Open Education Week 2025. These webcasts are set up as informal conversations. For each show we invite a group of open educators willing to have a discussion that lacks an agenda and slides with bullet points. \nThese conversational sessions start with sharing of their current projects\, activities\, and interests but flow into general discussions of what is happening in the world of open education. We also will share some perspectives on what we saw this week- there’s too much for any one person to know – and talk about maybe we can happen in the upcoming year. \n  \nGuests confirmed so far include: \n\nPeter Musser (ISKME/OER Commons) on what we curated through the OEWeek open assets collection efforts in OER Commons\nSusanne Grimm (OERinfo\, OER World Map) on what we added to the OER World Map during Open Education Week\nHeather Ross (University of Saskatchewan) on openness in general and specifically on open educational practices at USask\nBrian Lamb (Thompson Rivers University) on the OpenETC (Open EdTech Coop) and sharing open tech\, open pedagogy\, the role of open in a fallen and corrupt corporatized world\nAnne-Marie Scott (Independent Consultant) on the OpenETC\, Open Source\, all the opens\nJennifer Rogers (LibreTexts) on All things LibreTexts\n\nWatch live to send your questions and comments through the chat or watch the recording later \n\nLearn More: \n\nOpen Education Week https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/\nOE Week Live Schedule https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/oeweek-live-webcasts/7383

SUMMARY:Emerging Technologies in International Education
DESCRIPTION:“Bridging the gap between theory and practice is essential for advancing education. While theoretical frameworks provide foundational understanding\, their real-world application ensures relevance and impact. Educators and institutions are challenged to translate scholarly insights into actionable strategies that address challenges in open and distributed education. This dynamic exchange between research and practice fosters innovation\, improves teaching effectiveness\, and enhances learning outcomes. Extending scholarship to practice also enriches research\, as practical applications often reveal new areas of inquiry\, leading to a continuous cycle of knowledge generation and refinement.” (Anderson et al.\, 2025) \nIn this session\, Drs. Adnan Qayyum and Levina Yuen will outline key emerging online technologies and their potential to enable and transform education on a global scale. \nEmerging Technologies in International Education\nDr. Adnan Qayyum and Dr. Levina Yuen\nMarch 7\, 2025\, 11am MT\nhttp://www.cideresearch.ca/session/qayyum-yuen-2025 \nThis is the third and final session in the CIDER series celebrating Open Education Week 2025 and the 25th anniversary of The International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Copyright Confidence From Basics to AI
DESCRIPTION:Navigating copyright is essential for anyone working with Open Educational Resources\, but the world of copyright sometimes feels daunting or confusing. Join us for a 90-minute webinar led by members of the Copyright First Responders Pacific Northwest designed to help demystify copyright basics and fair use principles. We’ll also spend time thinking about how to build confidence with copyright and look at “hot topics” including the issue on everyone’s mind lately: AI and copyright. Through practical scenario-based discussions\, you’ll gain confidence in navigating copyright considerations for OER and other educational materials. \nThis session offers a supportive environment for faculty\, librarians\, and instructional designers to build their copyright confidence. Using a mixture of presentations and scenario-based discussions\, we will walk through real-world scenarios and dedicate significant time to addressing your specific questions about copyright in OER creation and adaptation.

SUMMARY:Interview: OER and Localisation – Professor Lynne Bowker
DESCRIPTION:In this interview\, Professor Bowker emphasises the importance of localisation in OER\, noting that adapting language and cultural references increases student engagement. She highlights AI-driven automatic translation as a promising tool for localisation but stresses that human intervention is necessary for cultural adaptation\, accuracy\, and relevance. Collaboration among faculty\, language experts\, and students is key to effective localisation\, ensuring both linguistic and contextual appropriateness. She recommends using technology alongside human expertise\, piloting OER with students for feedback\, and fostering interdisciplinary teamwork to enhance the accessibility and impact of localised educational materials.

SUMMARY:Education: The Future is Open – Lecture with Richard Baraniuk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “Education: The Future is Open” – A Lecture by Richard Baraniuk\, founder of OpenStax \nA grassroots movement is sweeping through the academic world. The “OpenEd” movement is based on a set of intuitions that are shared by a remarkably wide range of academics: that knowledge should be free and open to use and re-use; that collaboration should be easier\, not harder; that people should receive credit and kudos for contributing to education and research; and that concepts and ideas are linked in unusual and surprising ways and not the simple linear forms that traditional media present. This is a pivotal moment for the OpenEd community to come together as education is reshaped by advances in AI\, evolving student needs\, and expanding global challenges. \nDr. Richard G. Baraniuk is professor of electrical and computer engineering at Rice University and founder and director of OpenStax. He launched Connexions in 1999 as a platform for open knowledge sharing\, which evolved into OpenStax\, the world’s largest OER publisher with more than 70 digital textbooks used by 7 million college and high school students this school year. He also leads SafeInsights\, the US National Science Foundation’s national infrastructure for education research. Baraniuk has been active in AI theory research and education applications for 15 years\, and is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a fellow of the US National Academy of Inventors\, AAAS\, and IEEE. He has received numerous research and education awards\, including the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal\, the James H. Mulligan\, Jr. Education Medal\, and the Harold W. McGraw\, Jr. Prize in Education.

SUMMARY:OEW@Campus Luzern – Offene Lehrbücher: Zwischen allen Stühlen?
DESCRIPTION:Offene Lehrbücher: Zwischen allen Stühlen?\nNicole Krüger\, ZHAW Hochschulbibliothek\nIn Nordamerika werden OER und «Open Textbooks» fast synonym gebraucht. Umfangreiche staatliche Förderungen flossen in die Veröffentlichung von Lehrbüchern\, die heute in der Open Textbook Library oder der BCcampus Open Collection zu finden sind. Hier ist ein Unterschied zur OER-Praxis in Europa zu beobachten: Warum wurden Lehrbücher im OER-Kontext bisher nur wenig beachtet? Warum sind sie nicht Bestandteil von DOAB\, dem Directory of Open Access Books? Erhalten offene Lehrbücher – analog zu wissenschaftlichen Open Access-Monografien – finanzielle Förderung? Sind sie Bestandteil von bibliothekarischen Sammlungen? Diesen Fragen ging die LIBER Educational Resources Working Group 2022-2024 unter der Co-Leitung von Nicole Krüger\, Helen Moore und Tamara Pianos nach. \nDer Beitrag richtet sich in erster Linie an Personen aus dem OER- und Open Access-Support. Neben der Präsentation der Arbeitsergebnisse der Working Group und deren Austausch mit DOAB und der Open Textbook Library sollen Ideen zur Förderung dieser bisher nur wenig beachteten Form von OER ausgetauscht werden. \nCampus Luzern lädt Sie herzlich zur kostenlosen Online-Präsentation ein! Der Vortrag findet über ZOOM statt\, eine vorherige Anmeldung ist nicht erforderlich. \nZoom-Link: https://hslu.zoom.us/j/68022940452?pwd=b9lShWWa7ZCNk8d8gCSHi8gUliqLFG.1   \n\n(English via Google Translate): \nOpen textbooks: Caught between all chairs?\nNicole Krüger\, ZHAW University Library \nIn North America\, OER and “open textbooks” are used almost synonymously. Extensive government funding went into the publication of textbooks\, which can now be found in the Open Textbook Library or the BCcampus Open Collection. Here\, a difference can be observed compared to OER practice in Europe: Why have textbooks received little attention in the  OER context so far? Why are they not part of DOAB\, the Directory of Open Access Books? Do open textbooks receive financial support – analogous to academic open access monographs? Are they part of library collections? The LIBER Educational Resources Working Group 2022-2024\, co-led by Nicole Krüger\, Helen Moore and Tamara Pianos\, investigated these questions. \nThe presentation is primarily aimed at people from OER and Open Access support. In addition to presenting the results of the working group and exchanging them with DOAB and the Open Textbook Library\, the aim is to exchange ideas for promoting this previously little-noticed form of OER. \nCampus Luzern cordially invites you to the free online presentation! The lecture will take place via ZOOM\, prior registration is not required. \n

SUMMARY:OEW@Campus Luzern – (Wie) Unterstützen Open Educational Resources Lehr- und Lernprozesse? 
DESCRIPTION:(Wie) Unterstützen Open Educational Resources Lehr- und Lernprozesse? \nDr. Magdalena Spaude\, Universität zu Köln \nDie Qualität von Bildungsmaterialien – in welcher Form auch immer angeboten – zeigt sich insbesondere daran\, wie sie den Lernprozess und die Lehrtätigkeit unterstützen. Dies gilt auch für Offene Bildungsressourcen. Lässt sich diese Qualität auch messen? Mit welchem Ergebnis? Und welches Lernen wird hier unterstützt?  \nDer Beitrag diskutiert entsprechende Hinweise aus (Meta-)Studien und fragt nach der Bedeutung dieser Ergebnisse für die Gestaltung und Lizenzierung von OER.   \nZoom-Link: \nhttps://hslu.zoom.us/j/66303149226?pwd=naYw6Uk6NRxqcXEhUbeBn9bjN4SqSi.1  \n\n(English via Google Translate): \n(How) do open educational resources support teaching and learning processes?\nDr. Magdalena Spaude\, University of Cologne \nThe quality of educational materials – in whatever form they are offered – is particularly evident in how they support the learning process and teaching. This also applies to open educational resources. Can this quality also be measured? With what result? And what kind of learning is supported here?\n\nThe article discusses relevant information from (meta-)studies and asks about the significance of these results for the design and licensing of OER.
