Imagine a gender equal world – help write women onto Wikipedia for IWD!
2025-03-07 13:00 - 16:30 (Europe/London) | University of Edinburgh, Old College, South Bridge, EH8 9YL, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
“Women in Red” – a Wikipedia editathon celebrating the lives and contributions of all the inspiring women of Scotland (and around the world) missing from the world’s go-to site for information.
Wikipedia is the 8th most visited website in the world but lacks diversity in its editors and its articles. Only 20.02% of biographies on English Wikipedia, the world’s go-to source of information, are about women. Women are not a minority and we can #ChooseToChallenge the paucity of stories currently shared on the open web and #InspireInclusion. This event will focus on improving the representation of inspiring women online.
Participants will learn how to edit Wikipedia pages during a hybrid event (online webinar AND in person meetup in the University of Edinburgh Main Library on the 6th floor in the Digital Scholarship Centre) and will be supported over the afternoon to help create new pages for notable individuals who are not currently on Wikipedia (perhaps from BBC’s 100 Women 2025) and/or help improve already existing Wikipedia pages.
No prior knowledge required as training will be provided for those with no Wikipedia editing experience.
You’ll learn a new digital skill in a social & supportive setting and meet like-minded event participants all passionate about improving representation online to help close the gender gap for the benefit of millions of readers all around the world.

1:00 pm – 1:15pm: Welcome and Tea/Coffee
1:15pm – 2:15pm: Wikipedia training from Ewan McAndrew.
2:15pm – 2:30pm: Tea and Coffee break

Education: The Future is Open – Lecture with Richard Baraniuk
2025-03-07 14:30 - 16:00 (America/Winnipeg) | University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Join us for “Education: The Future is Open” – A Lecture by Richard Baraniuk, founder of OpenStax
A 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.
Dr. 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.

Integrating AI to Produce OER using OER Conversion Tool convOERter
2025-03-07 16:00 - 16:30 (Europe/Berlin) | Germany, Aachen, NRW, Germany
With the rapid advancement of generative AI technologies nowadays, it is beneficial to use these technologies effectively to create Open Educational Resources (OER). This talk introduces the essentialness of using generative AI technology in the OER context, particularly by applying a Text-to-Image model in the OER conversion tool “convOERter.”
“convOERter” is a web-based tool that has been developed to convert existing educational materials containing images into ones with a Creative Common (CC) license. The development of the conversion tool greatly eases the process of creating OER content, as it automatically captures the images in the original materials and allows educators to search for a replacement image that is CC-licensed in OER portals. However, despite the substantial collection of high-quality images provided by these portals, finding a replacement image that precisely aligns with the educator’s requirements remains challenging due to the static nature of any database.
Generative AI refers to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create new content, like text, images, music, audio, and videos based on human input. In the field of image generation, various models are now available which offer a valuable opportunity for generating high-quality OER content. When educators cannot find suitable replacement images in Creative Commons portals, employing a Text-to-Image AI model becomes essential for generating appropriate images. In this talk, we will introduce the OER conversion tool and present the first steps towards integrating AI models within the tool.

OEW@Campus Luzern – Offene Lehrbücher: Zwischen allen Stühlen?
2025-03-10 12:15 - 13:00 (Europe/Zurich) | Campus Luzern, Werftestrasse 4, Luzern, Switzerland
Offene Lehrbücher: Zwischen allen Stühlen?
Nicole Krüger, ZHAW Hochschulbibliothek
In 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.
Der 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.
Campus Luzern lädt Sie herzlich zur kostenlosen Online-Präsentation ein! Der Vortrag findet über ZOOM statt, eine vorherige Anmeldung ist nicht erforderlich.

Open textbooks: Caught between all chairs?
Nicole Krüger, ZHAW University Library
In 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.
The 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.
Campus Luzern cordially invites you to the free online presentation! The lecture will take place via ZOOM, prior registration is not required.
