SUMMARY:Curiosity Unleashed: Experimenting with Open Pet-agogy (with Cats!)
DESCRIPTION:Note: This is merely a playful demo and test of the OE Week Calendar! \nAre you ready to let your curiosity lead the way\, just like a cat chasing a laser pointer? Join us for a paws-on workshop where we explore the playful\, experimental world of Open Education through Open Source tools. This interactive session encourages participants to embrace their inner feline — inquisitive\, daring\, and playful — as we scratch the surface of what’s possible when Open Education meets Open Source software. \nThrough collaborative activities and a whisker of whimsy\, we’ll navigate the fundamentals of open education\, experiment with open-source tools\, and discover how to integrate them into our own teaching and learning contexts. Every step of the way\, we’ll lean into the metaphor of cats: curiosity\, adaptability\, and the knack for landing on our feet when trying new things. \nWhether you’re a seasoned open education advocate or just dipping a paw into the waters\, this workshop is for anyone eager to pounce on new ideas\, play with innovative tools\, and create impactful learning experiences. \nWorkshop Goals: \n\nDiscover the Playground: Introduce participants to the foundational concepts of Open Education and Open Source software\, purring over their value and potential in learning environments.\nExperiment Like Cats: Encourage playful experimentation with open-source tools and platforms that support Open Education. Participants will gain hands-on experience and insights into how these tools can be used to create engaging and equitable learning experiences.\nCollaborative Catnip: Foster a sense of community among participants by engaging in collaborative\, interactive activities that emphasize the power of shared knowledge and resources.\nCuriosity Empowered: Equip participants with the confidence to approach Open Education and Open Source tools as a sandbox for innovation and creativity.\n\nActivities Overview: \n\n“Chase the Laser Pointer”: An icebreaker activity to explore common challenges in education and how open resources and tools might solve them.\n“Tinker with the Toybox”: A hands-on session where participants play with Open Source tools\, from learning management systems to collaborative content creation software.\n“Catnip Collaborations”: Small group activities to brainstorm open education projects\, fostering a playful but purposeful approach to creating new educational resources or initiatives.\n“Purrspectives”: A wrap-up reflection where participants share what they’ve learned and discuss next steps for implementing Open Education in their contexts.\n\nWhat to Bring:\nYour sense of curiosity\, an open mind\, and a readiness to play! Optional: a favorite cat photo or story to share during our “feline inspiration” moments. \nJoin us to unleash your creative instincts\, pounce on new tools\, and leave with a renewed commitment to making education accessible and engaging for all! 🐾 \nCreate your own event or version of an OER that includes cats by asking GenAI to create an image and descriptive text\, then share it in our thread in OEG Connect. \n\nDisclosure:This is a farcical entry created solely for testing\, generated with ChatGPT (link) as it is best for creating fabricated content. The prompt was “You are organizing an online workshop about the value of experimenting with Open Education using Open Source software\, the activities have an element of play\, and makes the use of the metaphor of cats. Write a description of a workshop with goals\, and make many feline references.”

SUMMARY:Integrating AI to Produce OER using OER Conversion Tool convOERter
DESCRIPTION: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.” \n“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. \nGenerative 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.

SUMMARY:The Provocations of Indigenous Cultures within a Conference: Using Métissage to Explore the In/Compatibility of Indigenous Ways of Knowing with Open Education
DESCRIPTION:At OE Global 2023 Indigenous ways of knowing and being were a fundamental component of the conference design and organization. Indigenous and non-Indigenous organizers established a collaborative governance approach to foster partnership and mutual guidance throughout the planning and execution stages. \nIn this session\, Dawn Witherspoon\, Darrion Letendre\, and Robert Lawson will perform métissage to recount the design and implementation of\, and personal experiences with\, a conference program that reflected the concept of two-eyed seeing\, navigating Indigenous and non-Indigenous worldviews. We will explore the incompatibility and compatibility of Indigenous ways of knowing with the ontological and epistemological assumptions embedded into open education. A fundamental question we examine is how the braiding of conference stories can unearth the interplay of Indigenous (nêhiyawîhcikêwin Plains Cree) ways of knowing with the values and practices of open education.

SUMMARY:Emerging Technologies in International Education
DESCRIPTION:“Bridging the gap between theory and practice is essential for advancing education. While theoretical frameworks provide foundational understanding\, their real-world application ensures relevance and impact. Educators and institutions are challenged to translate scholarly insights into actionable strategies that address challenges in open and distributed education. This dynamic exchange between research and practice fosters innovation\, improves teaching effectiveness\, and enhances learning outcomes. Extending scholarship to practice also enriches research\, as practical applications often reveal new areas of inquiry\, leading to a continuous cycle of knowledge generation and refinement.” (Anderson et al.\, 2025) \nIn this session\, Drs. Adnan Qayyum and Levina Yuen will outline key emerging online technologies and their potential to enable and transform education on a global scale. \nEmerging Technologies in International Education\nDr. Adnan Qayyum and Dr. Levina Yuen\nMarch 7\, 2025\, 11am MT\nhttp://www.cideresearch.ca/session/qayyum-yuen-2025 \nThis is the third and final session in the CIDER series celebrating Open Education Week 2025 and the 25th anniversary of The International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning.

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.
