During this event\, we will be hearing from two fantastic speakers from Australia and Canada. They will share their experiences working on open resources and how to make them accessible and interactive through H5P and Pressbooks. \nDuring this event\, we will:\n\nexplore why accessibility and inclusion are so important to openness\,\ndiscuss why H5P has been adopted for Open Textbooks\,\noutline some of the affordances and barriers to accessibility and openness with H5P\,\nexplain why taking openness as an attitude is important to accessible resources.\n\n\nKey speaker: Nikki Andersen\nNikki Andersen\, Open Education Content Librarian at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ)\, champions open educational practices\, specializing in open textbooks via the Pressbooks platform. With a diverse background\, including roles as a Copyright Officer and Diversity and Inclusion Officer\, Nikki edits the Australasian Open Educational Practice Digest. She contributes to CAUL’s Open Educational Resources Professional Development Program Project Team and ASCILITE’s Open Educational Practice Special Interest Group. \nNikki\, who identifies as disabled and Deaf\, advocates for inclusion\, diversity\, equity and accessibility (IDEA)\, recognized by awards for creating accessible digital learning environments. Her work intersects open educational practice\, social justice\, and student success\, highlighted by her editing of the 2022 Australian Edition of Enhancing IDEA in OER. \n\nKey Speaker: Simon Lolliot\nDr. Simon Lolliot\, Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia\, earned his doctorate in social psychology at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes scholar. His research focuses on the role of intergroup contact in reconciliation and the impact of secondary transfer effect\, “a phenomenon whereby contact with members from one outgroup not only improve attitudes towards that outgroup\, but to other outgroups as well.” At UBC\, he collaborates with Drs. Toni Schmader and Andrew Baron\, exploring ingroup identity\, multiculturalism\, and diversity beliefs. \nSimon introduced H5P activities to UBC’s open psychology textbook\, investigating interactivity’s impact on learning and advocating for screen-reader accessibility. Passionate about optimising teaching materials\, he emphasises H5P’s potential to support inclusive education. \nRegister now via Humanitix URL:https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/activity/accessibility-in-open-education-with-h5p/ LOCATION:University of Technology Sydney\, Sydney\, Australia ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/UTSCCBY.jpg GEO:-33.8835779;151.2009593 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240305T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240305T141500 DTSTAMP:20260511T134601 CREATED:20240220T203949Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250115T172704Z UID:10002023-1709645400-1709648100@oeweek.oeglobal.org SUMMARY:Growing Institutional OER Programs: Is Pressbooks right for you? DESCRIPTION:Many colleges\, universities\, and higher education systems rely on Pressbooks’ open publishing platform as an essential part of their technology infrastructure to support OER and other institutional publishing programs. \nThis session provides a guided show-and-tell about Pressbooks networks and what to consider as you make choices around open publishing tools for your campus community. What goals can Pressbooks help you achieve? How do Pressbooks networks work\, and what’s required to make them successful? How can this toolset help you manage\, scale and sustain your open education programs? \nJoin us as we delve into these questions and any others you bring us.

Luckily\, this also addresses some of its biggest challenges: time to create\, localization\, and visibility. However\, navigating through the vast sea of open educational resources can be overwhelming. \nJoin us for this quick 30 minute session about the Pressbooks Directory – a free\, open-to-everyone repository of over 6\,000 resources across 170+ institution covering a wide range of subjects. With many of these resources being openly licensed and all of them being entirely free to read\, you can find your perfect resource to either share or adapt for your educational needs. \nWe’ll walk you through how to use the Pressbooks Directory to 1) find the content you want to reuse or take inspiration from\, 2) reuse and adapt this content for specific classroom needs and 3) how you can add to this growing library.

In this session\, we will look at some McMaster-specific resources that will help you in your search (including McMaster’s OER by Discipline Guide version 2.0)\, explore some OER repositories\, and consider some strategies to fine tune your results. We will also look at how you can evaluate the OER you’ve found for possible inclusion in your teaching.

This session explores how Pressbooks\, an open-source publishing platform\, improves LMS capabilities by simplifying the integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) into well-structured course designs. Pressbooks offers powerful export options for designing courses that combine chapters and materials from diverse OER sources. Educators can remix\, adapt\, and integrate content into unified course modules while retaining the interactivity and accessibility essential for today’s learners. \nThis presentation demonstrates how Pressbooks empowers educators to build flexible courses tailored to their curriculum by embedding resources directly within LMS platforms. Educators can improve teaching by using Pressbooks’ easy integration. This integration helps deliver content better and engages learners more. Examples of successful course designs will show how combining material from different Open Educational Resources (OER) improves teaching and learning. \nParticipants will learn to utilize Pressbooks and the LMS to create interactive\, accessible\, modular courses. This method provides equitable access to quality education and enables educators to tailor learning for diverse audiences.

It enables authors and publishers to design\, format\, and share their books in several ways\, including in web-based and digital/ebook formats\, or as print-ready PDFs. Pressbooks is used by independent authors and educational institutions around the world. In this hands-on webinar\, you will learn how to use Pressbooks to create\, build\, and adapt online books and OER. We will cover the basics of structuring your book\, adding and formatting content\, and briefly look at some ways you can enhance your book with embedded media (like images\, video\, and interactive H5P activities). \nIf you do not already have a USask Pressbooks account\, one will be provided for you\, along with a “sandbox” book that you can explore during the session and continue building with later.

DESCRIPTION:Many colleges\, universities\, and higher education systems rely on Pressbooks’ open publishing platform as an essential part of their technology infrastructure to support OER and other institutional publishing programs. \nThis session provides a guided show-and-tell about Pressbooks networks and what to consider as you make choices around open publishing tools for your campus community. What goals can Pressbooks help you achieve? How do Pressbooks networks work\, and what’s required to make them successful? How can this toolset help you manage\, scale and sustain your open education programs? Join us as we delve into these questions and any others you bring us. \n  \n>> REGISTER HERE URL:https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/activity/growing-institutional-oer-programs-is-pressbooks-right-for-you/ LOCATION:Pressbooks\, Montreal\, Quebec\, Canada CATEGORIES:Open Education Resources,Tools and Techniques ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Screenshot-2025-03-05-at-19.20.48.png GEO:45.5018869;-73.5673919 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250306T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250306T133000 DTSTAMP:20260511T134601 CREATED:20250303T184139Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250313T205920Z UID:10003303-1741264200-1741267800@oeweek.oeglobal.org SUMMARY:Finding and Using OER DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest barriers to OER adoption and use is finding the right resource. In this session\, we will look at some McMaster-specific resources that will help you in your search (including McMaster’s OER by Discipline Guide version 2.0 and the OER Finding Service)\, explore some OER repositories\, and consider some strategies to fine tune your results. We will also look at how you can evaluate the OER you’ve found for possible use in your teaching.
