We Like Sharing @ OEGlobal
2024-03-01 08:00 - 2024-03-31 17:00 (America/Regina) | Online from Multiple Locations
Inspired by the TU Delft annual We Like Sharing photo competition a bit of idea brainstorming happened in OEG Connect as a call for other individuals, organizations to remix the idea and run their own version of it. Hence we are doing it here at OEGlobal.
Our call for photos is:
For We Like Sharing @ OEGlobal we invite anyone to share a photograph that communicates a visual metaphor for the potential, benefits, characteristics of openly sharing. We seek especially photos from all parts of the world that convey something special about that place.
If you would like to participate, Then, upload the image and provide the basic information in our We Like Sharing form including title, location, how to credit yourself, a description for web accessibility, and the Creative Commons license you wish to apply to your photo.
We will add them to the We Like Sharing @ OEGlobal flickr album, with all attribution, licensing information included. There may or may not be prizes, but we certainly will be reusing and attribution images in future OEGlobal communications. Sharing is its own reward, right?
And please follow the TU Deflt We Like Sharing which is already on the calendar for this year’s Open Education Week.
And if you want to run your own WLS (We Like Sharing) from your place on the globe, we have no rules per se, but see suggestions in OEG Connect.
Our call for photos will run the full month of March, and we will track visits and comments in our flickr album– but we will actually likely just leave it open year round. Because we like We Like Sharing!

The image used in this event s one by Bea de los Arcos from the original TUDelft We Like Sharing – Claddagh ring flickr photo by B. de los Arcos shared under a Creative Commons (BY) license.

Objectif : Discuter des enjeux de diffuser en libre, laisser émerger des questionnements sur la conception, la production et l’hébergement de REL
Description : Rejoignez l’équipe d’i-mersion CP dans l’exploration d’une démarche collaborative, consacrée dès nos débuts, pour la production et le partage des ressources éducatives libres (REL). Au diapason avec le Plan d’action numérique en éducation et enseignement supérieur du ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur du Québec, notre initiative vise à propulser l’accessibilité et la diffusion des savoirs dans le développement de la compétence numérique auprès le personnel pédagogique des établissements collégiaux et universitaires.
Oui, mais comment ? Que partager ?
Pour naviguer dans cette nouvelle réalité d’éducation ouverte, nous avons utilisé une démarche autodidacte parsemée de faux pas, en tentant des approches plus ou moins productives, mais toujours dans le but d’instaurer une collaboration.
Cette activité interactive nous immerge dans les dynamiques de conception, de production et de diffusion des REL, mettant en lumière la contribution significative des CP de l’enseignement supérieur. Des exemples concrets de REL, qui ont su enrichir notre communauté à i-mersion CP, seront présentés, illustrant nos valeurs de collaboration et de partage de bonnes pratiques tout en abordant les défis et les interrogations auxquels nous sommes encore confrontés. Au-delà des produits finis, nous avons à cœur de partager les processus afin de rendre notre quotidien plus efficace sans refaire le monde chaque fois.

Generative AI in Higher Education: Understanding Student Attitudes and Behaviors (TCC 2024)
2024-03-20 14:00 - 15:30 (Pacific/Honolulu) | TCC 2024 Conference, Honolulu, HI, United States
Generative AI in Higher Education: Understanding Student Attitudes and Behaviors
~ Hear What Works from a Multimedia Instructional Design Team ~

The Multimedia and Instructional Design Team of the University of Hawai‘i Nancy-Atmospera School of Nursing conducted a mixed methods study using a 43-item student questionnaire to investigate student use, attitudes, and opinions of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) in higher education. While most students view Gen AI as a valuable tool to assist with coursework, many are still undecided whether using Gen AI to assist with coursework is acceptable.

Presenters will discuss how the study’s findings informed departmental practices and policies, and professional development workshops for faculty and staff in efforts to shape student attitudes and behaviors regarding Gen AI use in the classroom and broader professional settings.

Otwarte zasoby edukacyjne dla studentów uczelni wyższych [webinar]
2024-03-25 11:00 - 12:30 (Europe/Warsaw) | AGH University of Krakow, al. Mickiewicza, 30, Kraków, Poland
Z roku na rok obserwujemy lawinowy przyrost cyfrowych zasobów. Aktualnie każda osoba “połączona” z siecią może być autorem treści i materiałów. Łatwo dostępne narzędzia ułatwiają ich opracowanie w różnorodnej formie (tekstowej, graficznej, audio czy audio/wideo). Są coraz bardziej atrakcyjne, przykuwają uwagę i kuszą, by powoływać się na nie, cytować (również w publikacjach o charakterze edukacyjnym). Ale…
Czy to jest równoznaczne z ich merytoryczną jakością, z ich wiarygodnością? Czy za nazwiskiem, pseudonimem twórcy skrywa się człowiek, a może AI i halucynujący czat GPT?
Łatwy dostęp nie zawsze oznacza, że znajdziemy materiały odpowiadające naszym potrzebom, “jakościowo/merytorycznie dobre” i dostosowane do aktualnego poziomu wiedzy naszych studentów.
Łatwy dostęp nie oznacza również, że możemy dowolnie wykorzystywać materiały – “reuseując” ich treści. Istnieje ryzyko, że wpadniemy w pułapkę naruszania praw autorskich, popełnienia plagiatu lub propagowania i rozpowszechniania treści fakenewsowych.
Czy i jakie otwarte zasoby edukacyjne polecać studentom wyższych uczelni? Na co zwracać uwagę, jak je selekcjonować i jakie rekomendować?
Czy i dlaczego dla pracownika dydaktycznego ma sens korzystanie z dostępnych zasobów, tworzenie własnych i ich rozpowszechnianie?
Na pytania i wątpliwości odpowiemy w trakcie webinaru z zaprzyjaźnionymi dydaktyczkami AGH – dr hab. Ewą Rudnik i dr inż. Sylwią Zelek-Pogudz. Chętnie podzielą się z Wami swoim doświadczeniem i refleksją na ten temat, tym bardziej, że same są autorkami otwartych kursów opublikowanych na wolnej licencji CC BY-SA 4.0 w serwsie Open AGH otwarte zasoby (zob. Zwilżalność powierzchni oraz Elementy chemii nieorganicznej dla geologów).

Café jasette : les dessous de création d’un manuel libre sur les IA
2024-03-26 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Toronto) | Université de Sherbrooke, 2500 boulevard de l'Université, Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada
Objectif : Cette activité de type café-jasette se veut un moment convivial entre le conférencier invité et les personnes participantes. Il s’agit d’une discussion de type retour d’expérience concernant la rédaction d’un manuel libre dans cinq langues différentes via la plateforme Pressbooks.
Description : L’IA est un enjeu pour tous et toutes dans notre contexte d’enseignement supérieur. Pour soutenir les personnes enseignantes, ce projet européen porté par AI4T, a permis la diffusion d’une 2e édition d’un manuel libre qui aborde des questions d’intérêt pour la communauté universitaire et les IAG en contexte d’enseignement-apprentissage : Intelligence artificielle pour et par les enseignants : un manuel ouvert
Cette 2e édition est accessible en 5 langues : français, allemand, anglais, italien et slovène. Cela impliquait le choix d’une plate-forme adaptée, de méthodes d’écriture, de nombreuses relectures des traductions : parfois faites par IA, parfois par des traducteurs professionnels, parfois par les membres du projet. Ce manuel ouvert a été publié le jeudi 18 janvier 2024. Il est accessible gratuitement en ligne : https://www.ai4t.eu/textbook (pour accéder aux contenus dans les 5 langues)
Sous forme de retour d’expérience, le co-auteur Pr Colin de la Higuera, titulaire de la Chaire UNESCO RELIA de Nantes Université, abordera les aspects suivants :

ses observations sur l’évolution de l’IA en enseignement (concernant le niveau des mises à jour du contenu du manuel) ;
l’utilisation de Pressbooks : défis et conditions facilitantes ;
3. les méthodes de traduction utilisées.

Re-Imagining Assessments for Social and Epistemic Justice Through the Lens of Open Pedagogy
2024-04-03 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Vancouver) | University of British Columbia, 2329 West Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z4, Canada
Assessment practices are a powerful way for educators to signal to students what is important in their learning journey and allows students to demonstrate their learning and competency. At the same time assessments through their design and deployment can also create epistemic and social injustices for traditionally marginalised students. Drawing on principles of open pedagogy, this session will explore ways of reviewing and designing assessments that create enabling conditions for socially just assessment practices that contribute to students’ sense of inclusion and for them to be active participants in a community of learning.
