SUMMARY:Webinar: Copyright Confidence From Basics to AI
DESCRIPTION:Navigating copyright is essential for anyone working with Open Educational Resources\, but the world of copyright sometimes feels daunting or confusing. Join us for a 90-minute webinar led by members of the Copyright First Responders Pacific Northwest designed to help demystify copyright basics and fair use principles. We’ll also spend time thinking about how to build confidence with copyright and look at “hot topics” including the issue on everyone’s mind lately: AI and copyright. Through practical scenario-based discussions\, you’ll gain confidence in navigating copyright considerations for OER and other educational materials. \nThis session offers a supportive environment for faculty\, librarians\, and instructional designers to build their copyright confidence. Using a mixture of presentations and scenario-based discussions\, we will walk through real-world scenarios and dedicate significant time to addressing your specific questions about copyright in OER creation and adaptation.

SUMMARY:Interview: OER and Localisation – Professor Lynne Bowker
DESCRIPTION:In this interview\, Professor Bowker emphasises the importance of localisation in OER\, noting that adapting language and cultural references increases student engagement. She highlights AI-driven automatic translation as a promising tool for localisation but stresses that human intervention is necessary for cultural adaptation\, accuracy\, and relevance. Collaboration among faculty\, language experts\, and students is key to effective localisation\, ensuring both linguistic and contextual appropriateness. She recommends using technology alongside human expertise\, piloting OER with students for feedback\, and fostering interdisciplinary teamwork to enhance the accessibility and impact of localised educational materials.

SUMMARY:Education: The Future is Open – Lecture with Richard Baraniuk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “Education: The Future is Open” – A Lecture by Richard Baraniuk\, founder of OpenStax \nA 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. \nDr. 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.

SUMMARY:OEW@Campus Luzern – Offene Lehrbücher: Zwischen allen Stühlen?
DESCRIPTION:Offene Lehrbücher: Zwischen allen Stühlen?\nNicole Krüger\, ZHAW Hochschulbibliothek\nIn 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. \nDer 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. \nCampus Luzern lädt Sie herzlich zur kostenlosen Online-Präsentation ein! Der Vortrag findet über ZOOM statt\, eine vorherige Anmeldung ist nicht erforderlich. \nZoom-Link: https://hslu.zoom.us/j/68022940452?pwd=b9lShWWa7ZCNk8d8gCSHi8gUliqLFG.1   \n\n(English via Google Translate): \nOpen textbooks: Caught between all chairs?\nNicole Krüger\, ZHAW University Library \nIn 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. \nThe 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. \nCampus Luzern cordially invites you to the free online presentation! The lecture will take place via ZOOM\, prior registration is not required. \n

SUMMARY:OEW@Campus Luzern – (Wie) Unterstützen Open Educational Resources Lehr- und Lernprozesse? 
DESCRIPTION:(Wie) Unterstützen Open Educational Resources Lehr- und Lernprozesse? \nDr. Magdalena Spaude\, Universität zu Köln \nDie Qualität von Bildungsmaterialien – in welcher Form auch immer angeboten – zeigt sich insbesondere daran\, wie sie den Lernprozess und die Lehrtätigkeit unterstützen. Dies gilt auch für Offene Bildungsressourcen. Lässt sich diese Qualität auch messen? Mit welchem Ergebnis? Und welches Lernen wird hier unterstützt?  \nDer Beitrag diskutiert entsprechende Hinweise aus (Meta-)Studien und fragt nach der Bedeutung dieser Ergebnisse für die Gestaltung und Lizenzierung von OER.   \nZoom-Link: \nhttps://hslu.zoom.us/j/66303149226?pwd=naYw6Uk6NRxqcXEhUbeBn9bjN4SqSi.1  \n\n(English via Google Translate): \n(How) do open educational resources support teaching and learning processes?\nDr. Magdalena Spaude\, University of Cologne \nThe quality of educational materials – in whatever form they are offered – is particularly evident in how they support the learning process and teaching. This also applies to open educational resources. Can this quality also be measured? With what result? And what kind of learning is supported here?\n\nThe article discusses relevant information from (meta-)studies and asks about the significance of these results for the design and licensing of OER.

SUMMARY:OEW@Campus Luzern – Auf dem Weg zu einer OER-Community: Einblicke\, Stolpersteine und Chancen 
DESCRIPTION:Nora Bertram\, Regula Zwicky\, Universität Zürich \nWie baut man eine OER-Community auf? Genau dieser Frage gehen wir in unserem Beitrag nach – mit ehrlichen Einblicken und konkreten Beispielen aus unserer Praxis. An der Universität Zürich haben wir erste Schritte unternommen: einen OER-Guide mit Empfehlungen und allgemeinen Informationen veröffentlicht\, verschiedene Kommunikationskanäle genutzt und wertvolle Erfahrungen gesammelt – mit ersten Ergebnissen\, aber auch mit Herausforderungen.    \nWir berichten direkt aus unserer „Werkstatt“\, teilen unsere Learnings und offenen Fragen und möchten mit euch ins Gespräch kommen. Welche Erfahrungen habt ihr gemacht? Welche Strategien haben sich bewährt? Was funktioniert\, um Dozierende für OER zu gewinnen? Welche Kanäle und Zeitpunkte eignen sich am besten? Und wie lassen sich die Chancen von OER überzeugend vermitteln? Lasst uns gemeinsam überlegen\, wie wir OER nachhaltig an unseren Hochschulen verankern können.  \nZoom-Link: \nhttps://hslu.zoom.us/j/63592301731?pwd=9AFzV6J68DLOXXr1tCSqtkDRLfnaH8.1   \n\n(English via Google Translate): \nTowards an OER community: insights\, stumbling blocks and opportunities\nNora Bertram\, Regula Zwicky\, University of Zurich\nHow do you build an OER community? This is precisely the question we address in our article – with honest insights and concrete examples from our practice. At the University of Zurich\, we have taken the first steps: published an OER guide with recommendations and general information\, used various communication channels and gained valuable experience – with initial results\, but also with challenges. \nWe report directly from our “workshop”\, share our learnings and open questions and would like to talk to you. What experiences have you had? Which strategies have proven successful? What works to win over lecturers to OER? Which channels and times are best? And how can the opportunities of OER be communicated convincingly? Let’s think together about how we can anchor OER sustainably at our universities.
