OER Foundations: A Starter Kit for Instructors
2024-03-06 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | Brock University, 1812 Sir Issac Brock Way, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada
This workshop will provide an introductory overview of Open Educational Resources (OER) and their many benefits to both students and instructors. Participants will have an opportunity to explore some OER and consider how to start incorporating open materials in a course in small (or big!) ways. This workshop is intended for those who are new to OER, but people of all experience levels are welcome to attend.
This workshop will be facilitated by Kymberly Ash (Librarian at Brock University Library) and Joanne Reid (Instructor in the Faculty of Education), Brock’s representatives in eCampusOntario’s OER Rangers Program.

Designing Learner Assessments Using Open Practices and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
2024-03-06 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Toronto) | McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Approximately 2.2 million learners were enrolled in post-secondary institutions in Canada in the 2021/22 academic year (Statistics Canada, 2023). That number is likely relatively similar for 2023/24. If each of those learners were enrolled in 3 courses per semester, and each course required one hour of homework and assignment time per week (over 15 weeks) that’s a total of 90 million hours of potential learner co-creation of knowledge. Just in Canada, just in one semester. Using David Wiley’s idea of reducing “throw away assignments” (Wiley, 2013), the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) present a fantastic opportunity to create globally relevant and experiential projects as part of post-secondary learning experiences.
The purpose of this interactive workshop is for participants to learn about the SDGs (if they have not yet heard of them) or refresh their knowledge (UNESCO, n.d.), and explore with each other and the facilitator how to use the topics, targets, and indicators to develop an open assignment and rubric for learners. The exploration and design of assessments should highlight use of open educational resources (OER), focus on real-world examples, be relevant to your discipline, and include conversations with colleagues for inspiration and feedback.
The output of the workshop will be a participant-designed assessment (assignment details and a rubric if needed) based on one or more of the SDGs that may be explored in partnership with students in an upcoming course.
Boxed lunches will be provided for in-person registrants.
About the facilitator: Dr. Jenni Hayman is an experienced and active higher education administrator, researcher, and faculty member at Royal Roads University in Canada. Her expertise is in the design and delivery of online and hybrid post-secondary programs, including partnership with faculty on the use of open educational resources, technology in their teaching practice, and scholarly research (scholarship of teaching and learning). Recent roles include Associate Faculty at Royal Roads; Chair, School of Business, Online at Conestoga College; and Dean, Academic Excellence and Innovation at Cambrian College. Jenni provides guidance and support for faculty and administrators on emerging regional, national, and global education practices related to open education, quality assurance, program review and development, and evidence-based teaching models. Her current research and explorations focus on the use of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a foundation for post-secondary curriculum.

OE Week Live! Developing Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Literacy: A student-led panel
2024-03-06 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Regina) | Online from Multiple Locations
We are thrilled to invite you to an open online live streamed event organised by students from the MA in Digital Education within the School of Education at the University of Leeds and students from the MSc in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh in collaboration with Open Education Global during Open Education Week 2024.
On the 6th of March 2024, 4 pm UK time, you are all warmly welcome to join us to discuss and debate methods and ideas to develop students’ Generative AI literacy.
Generative Artificial Intelligence (or, for short, GenAI) has gathered significant attention since January 2023 and discussions around its potential use in education have become widespread. Multiple research papers and articles are focusing on this topic, while a new aspect of it is currently gaining prominence – the question of how students can become AI-literate. As we contemplate the possible revolution that AI can bring to the education field, we should reflect more on how well-equipped students are to navigate this ever-changing terrain.
This event presents a chance to engage with students, hear their voices and concerns about the use of GenAI in Higher Education and embrace their ideas to promote AI literacy. Focusing on uniting as a community of educators and students, we aim to initiate an open, critical, and creative discussion on students’ GenAI literacy.
This event aims to expand both personal and collective perspectives and foster collaboration between educators and students in co-deciding efficient ideas to promote students’ GenAI literacy focusing on practical implications, valuable opportunities, and ethics concerns. Through this discussion, all will have the opportunity to dynamically explore this crucial topic. How can we as students control and leverage GenAI, so that it will not deceive, prevail, or weaken us?
The live streamed discussion, scheduled to last one hour, will be hosted by OEGlobal during Open Education Week. A student panel discussion will be held and, subsequently, an open session for questions and answers will be conducted to actively involve the audience in the dialogue.
Watch live on YouTube where you can send questions and comments to the panel, or see the recording afterward

In the OEG Voices Podcast Studio with Maha Bali
2024-03-06 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Regina) | Online from Multiple Locations
As we have done the past few years during Open Education Week, we “open” the OEG Voices podcast recording studio so you can listen in and participate in the conversations. By being there live you can hear the podcast before we produce it!
Join us in the OEG Voices studio Wednesday March 6 when we are fortunate to welcome Maha Bali, professor of practice at the Center for Learning and Teaching at The American University in Cairo (AUC). Maha was recognized in 2023 with an Individual OE Award For Excellence in the Educator category.
The podcast will be recorded in Zoom (cameras never required) and space in the studio is open for those who register to secure a seat
In this conversation with Maha we plan to ask about her approaches and philosophy as an open educator with her students at AUC (and beyond), with the faculty she supports (globally), and honestly, the world in general. Very likely we will discuss her current practices and insights on critical AI literacy.
But you never know where an interesting conversation will go, perhaps we can talk about the braveness of being bad at crochet.
We are counting on lively conversation and you can be part of the action, even just to listen in by signing up to be in the studio or wait until it appears at https://voices.oeglobal.org/
