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.

SUMMARY:Practicing Democratic Education with a Course-Based Custom GPT and Dialogic Prompts
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on interactive workshop presented by Dr Olga Shugurova explores the innovative use of AI such as custom GPT models and dialogical prompts (Matusov\, ChatGPT4\, Smith & Shugurova\,2023) to create democratic open educational resources (OERs). \nThe use of conversational AI in education has shown promising results in enhancing learning outcomes (Chiu et al.\, 2023). A systematic review by Henry et al. (2021) highlighted the need for an interdisciplinary and critical approach to AI literacy. Labadze et al. (2023) reported that chatbot technology significantly improves learning achievement\, explicit reasoning\, and knowledge retention. \nDr Shugurova will demonstrate how educators can build their own course-based GPT that caters to diverse student goals\, interests\, needs and creates a psychologically safe learning environment. \n\nParticipants will learn how to:\nDesign and fine-tune custom GPT models for specific educational contexts\nCraft effective dialogical prompts that engage students and promote critical thinking without any technical skills\nIntegrate course content to create comprehensive\, interactive learning experiences that inspire learning\nAddress ethical considerations and potential biases in this GPT-powered educational pathway\n\nThe workshop will showcase the practical examples of custom GPT applications in various disciplines\, highlighting their potential to democratize education. It will also discuss strategies for ensuring accessibility and inclusivity when implementing these technologies. \nThrough hands-on activities and live demonstrations\, attendees will gain practical experience in developing their own course-based GPT. The session will conclude with a collaborative discussion on the future of AI in open education and its implications for democratic education. \nThis workshop is suitable for educational leaders\, educators\, instructional designers\, and educational technologists interested in exploring the intersection of AI and open education. Participants will leave with actionable insights and resources to begin implementing custom GPT in their own educational contexts.

SUMMARY:Vectors of Trust: Practicing Reciprocal Values in Challenging Times
DESCRIPTION:In eduspaces we talk about values in nebulous terms. We believe in open\, we believe in barrier-free\, we believe in social justice\, we believe in student-focused pedagogies. But what are these values as praxis for those of us who support student-focused spaces? \nIn this keynote\, Dr. Ann Gagné will discuss how we are currently living through a crisis of trust in higher education\, institutionally\, governmentally\, societally\, and within our own communities. She will support reflection on how trust is a vector\, with both magnitude and direction that impacts the work we do and the work we want to do.  By highlighting broken reciprocal values and support systems\, this talk defines the moral injury seen in our eduspaces and gives participants the opportunity to leave with tangible next steps to promote trust as reciprocal and etymologically radical. \n  \nSpeaker Bio \nDr. Ann Gagné (she/her) is Senior Educational Developer\, Accessibility & Inclusion at Brock University and a sessional instructor at George Brown College. She has worked in higher education in Ontario at colleges and universities for 21 years. Her work focuses on the need for accessible pedagogies through holistic awareness of disabled learners\, faculty\, and staff lived experience to decrease barriers to inclusion in higher education. She has facilitated workshops and keynotes on accessible pedagogy\, accessible event design\, accessible social media practices\, and trauma-aware UDL.  In March 2023 she started her own podcast Accessagogy\, which talks about accessibility and pedagogy in short (under 15 minute) episodes. \nBC Open Education Librarians (BCOEL) is grateful for the support of BCcampus who has co-funded this event.

SUMMARY:Predavanje: Otvorenost umjetne inteligencije
DESCRIPTION:Predavanje istražuje kompleksnost i kontroverze oko pojma otvorene umjetne inteligencije s naglaskom na velike jezične modele (Large Language Models – LLMs) te ima namjeru potaknuti raspravu o etičkim\, tehničkim i pravnim aspektima ove teme. \nNakon definicije pojma otvorene umjetne inteligencije kroz smjernice OSI-ja (Open Source Initiative) i njihovog dokumenta The Open Source AI Definition – 1.0\, predavanje će obuhvatiti aspekte otvorenosti i dostupnosti izvornog koda\, autorskih prava i licenciranja podataka\, pojmova koji se susreću u opisima modela te transparentnosti procesa njihovog učenja. \nKroz usporedbu različitih popularnih LLM-ova uključujući i kineski DeepSeek\, predavanje će dati analizu razina njihove otvorenosti\, uz referencu na istraživanje Stanfordovog CRFM-a (Center for Research on Foundation Models) i njihovog indeksa transparentnosti. \nPoseban naglasak stavit će se i na The Model Openness Framework (MOF)\, koji pruža strukturirani način vrednovanja otvorenosti modela. \nRadi kompleksnosti samih LLM-ova\, pokušaj definicije otvorenosti i preporuka za korištenje LLM-ova izaziva nesuglasice unutar zajednice otvorenog koda i potrebe za teškim kompromisima\, gdje se filozofija potpune otvorenosti „čistunaca“ sukobljava sa stvarnošću pragmatičara i potrebama za tim alatima u primjerice medicini\, pri čemu osobni i klinički podaci u takvim bolničkim informacijskim sustavima iz mnogih razloga ne mogu biti ni otvoreni ni javni. \nKroz ovo predavanje sudionici će dobiti temelje za razumijevanje složenosti ovog područja te perspektivu o tome kako se otvorenost i u kojem obliku može integrirati u svakodnevnu primjenu umjetne inteligencije. \nPredavač: Kristijan Zimmer\, IT stručnjak\, Sektor za umjetnu inteligenciju\, CARNET \nVrijeme i mjesto održavanja: 7. 3. 2025. u 10 sati\, u Srcu\, Dvorana E

SUMMARY:Imagine a gender equal world – help write women onto Wikipedia for IWD!
DESCRIPTION:“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. \nWikipedia 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. \nParticipants 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. \nNo prior knowledge required as training will be provided for those with no Wikipedia editing experience. \nYou’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. \n\n1:00 pm – 1:15pm: Welcome and Tea/Coffee\n1:15pm – 2:15pm: Wikipedia training from Ewan McAndrew.\n2:15pm – 2:30pm: Tea and Coffee break\n2:30 pm – 4:30pm: Research and Editing with aim to publish by 4:30pm.\n4:30pm – 5:00pm: Publishing your edits\, recap and event close.\n\n  \nJoin us as we help make Wikipedia better! \nThen you can check how long it takes for it to appear in Google’s top ten results! \nHave a look at the event page to see if there are pages you would like to help edit/create and if you fancy learning more about Wikipedia ahead of time then you can view the Wiki Basics site. \n
