SUMMARY:Beyond Cost Savings: How Open Educational Resources Support Student Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Description\nTextbooks can be expensive\, stressful\, and sometimes out of reach\, and that pressure often shows up in students’ well-being and learning. \nIn this session\, we’ll talk about how Open Educational Resources (OER) can ease some of that stress by giving students free\, day-one access to course materials and more flexible\, inclusive ways to learn.\nTogether\, faculty and students will explore research\, real examples\, and small design choices that can make learning feel more supportive\, human\, and equitable. You’ll leave with practical ideas you can use right away.\nLearning Outcomes\n\nDescribe how Open Educational Resources (OER) can reduce student stress and support mental well-being by giving examples from research and practice.\nIdentify strategies for using OER to create more equitable\, flexible\, and inclusive learning experiences in their own courses or studies.\nReflect on the impact of course materials on mental health and propose at least one actionable change they could make to support student well-being through OER.\n\nWho should participate?\nFaculty\, students\, instructional designers\, librarians\, and educational developers who are interested in how open educational resources can reduce student stress and create more inclusive learning experiences.\nGoogle Meet Information\nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/ddu-wnki-ucm \nOr dial: (CA) +1 587-797-8162‬ PIN: ‪854 299 637‬# \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/ddu-wnki-ucm?pin=9011646883513

SUMMARY:OER in Tenure and Promotion at Virginia Tech
DESCRIPTION:In June 2026\, Virginia Tech added open educational resources (OER) and open source software (OSS) to university-level Tenure and Promotion Guidelines. This session will review this clarification\, present ways that Virginia Tech faculty have leveraged OER creation or adaptation in promotion dossiers\, and provide a guide to sources of available usage data. This usage data is most relevant to Virginia Tech-created OER\, but the model of data collection is transferable to other institutions. \nFor background on this presentation\, read: https://openvt.lib.vt.edu/2025/10/07/oer-promotion-tenure

SUMMARY:Keynote – Open Hearts: Empowering Educators with Open Resources and Practices
DESCRIPTION:For Open Education Week San Diego Community College District brings you this keynote talk by Brenna Clarke Gray\, Assistant Professor\, Learning Design and Innovation and Coordinator\, Educational Technologies at Thompson Rivers University. \nSession Description\nI don’t know about you\, but in this particular moment — politically\, economically\, culturally — I’ve never felt more sharply the distinction between my values as an educator and the realities of the world outside my classroom. To celebrate Open Education Week\, then\, let’s all take a moment to find hope in the possibilities and promises of open education. In this session\, through a little bit of theoretical framing and a lot of practical examples\, we’ll discuss how open resources and open practices can empower us as educators to build a more equitable\, accessible\, and engaging learning experience for our students and for those far beyond our classroom walls. Join me as we open our hearts and share the possibilities of open education in a moment when we all really need to remember how far our good work can spread. \nSpeaker Details\nBrenna Clarke Gray is an open educator and critical technologist powered by righteous indignation and lattes and based at Thompson Rivers University in Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc\, where she co-founded the TRU Open Press.

SUMMARY:Science Education for a Just and Sustainable World
DESCRIPTION:March 2-6\, 2026 marks Open Education Week and UN SDG Action and Awareness Week. Join BCcampus\, the BC Open Education Librarians\, University Canada West\, and Langara College for a celebration of both of these events with keynote speaker Dr. Karen Cangialosi. \n  \nAs global social and environmental problems grow ever more intractable\, we need transformative pedagogies that support our students to become critical\, creative social agents capable of building a more sustainable and just world. \nOpen Pedagogy has the potential to shift our traditional modes of teaching and learning towards practices that nurture students to be creators of knowledge focused on the global good. These hopes could be realized if we are responsive to the dual upheavals caused by AI and the attacks on higher education. We can educate our STEM students to become scientists\, and all of our students\, to become citizens that are cognizant of an uncertain and challenging future\, and work from non-traditional frameworks–those that resist competitive\, hierarchical\, exploitative models of science. \nKey to achieving this vision is teaching undergraduates how to center Open Science as the default for how science is practiced by deeply integrating Open Pedagogical practices that support students to address inherent inequities\, problems with data-sharing\, and other barriers to the adoption of Open Science. To that end\, the OCTOPUS project was developed to support higher education faculty and staff to create openly licensed materials that may eventually constitute a comprehensive undergraduate Open Science-Open Pedagogy program. \n  \nSpeaker bio\nDr. Karen Cangialosi is a passionate change agent\, dedicated educator\, and student advocate with national recognition in open education\, STEM ed\, and digital pedagogy. As a Professor of Biology at Keene State College (now emeritus)\, she brought open education into the biology curriculum and led campus-wide initiatives to make science education more affordable and inclusive. She now serves as Director of Open Education & Open Science at the RIOS Institute which promotes racial justice and openness in STEM education. Her work centers on transforming higher ed systems to better serve students\, especially marginalized students. Her Educause article\, An AI-Driven Optimism for Transforming Higher Education (It’s Not What You Think) considers the juxtaposition of AI in education. She continues to advocate for integrating Open Science and Open Education to reimagine how we teach\, learn\, and collaborate in STEM\, always with a focus on transparency\, justice\, and meaningful change. To that end\, she is project director for the OCTOPUS project (Open Collaboration for Transformative Open Pedagogy to support Undergraduate Open Science Education) a collaborative effort between the BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium and the RIOS Institute.

SUMMARY:AfLIA Open Education Week Virtual Summit
DESCRIPTION:The African Library and Information Associations and Institutions (AfLIA)\, in collaboration with OER Africa\, is pleased to announce the 2026 AfLIA Open Education Week Virtual Summit\, scheduled for 3–4 March 2026. The virtual summit will convene librarians\, educators\, researchers\, policymakers\, and other stakeholders to explore how Open Education can expand access\, improve equity\, and transform learning outcomes across Africa. \nTheme: Open Education\, Open Possibilities\nOpen Education is reshaping the global learning landscape by expanding access to open educational resources and practices. It creates new pathways for inclusive\, quality\, and equitable education. This is particularly important for Africa\, which has the world’s youngest population\, with over 60 percent under the age of 25 and a median age of 19. Many young people and adult learners still face significant barriers to education due to inadequate resources and persistent equity gaps. Open Education presents an opportunity to address these challenges and to support Africa’s transformation into a global knowledge and innovation powerhouse. \nAfLIA strongly believes that African libraries have critical roles to play in bridging digital and resource gaps. Library professionals possess expertise in technology\, copyright\, and licensing\, positioning them as key partners in advancing Open Education. The 2026 virtual summit seeks to bring together stakeholders to share research\, case studies\, emerging models\, and visionary ideas that demonstrate how Open Education can enable transformative\, inclusive\, and equitable education across the continent. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wie verändert Künstliche Intelligenz die Open Education?
DESCRIPTION:In einer Mixed-Methods-Erhebung unter OER-Lead-User:innen\, twillo-User:innen und Vizepräsident:innen für Studium und Lehre sowie Studiendekan:innen im Kontext des niedersächsischen OER-Verbunds twillo ging das HIS-Institut für Hochschulentwicklung (HIS-HE) der Frage nach\, in welcher Weise generative KI-Anwendungen für die Open Education produktiv eingesetzt werden können. Rund 60 % der Befragten schrieben der KI-Nutzung ein hohes Potenzial im OER-Kontext zu. Gleichzeitig wurden rechtliche Unsicherheiten\, inhaltliche Herausforderungen und pragmatische Schwierigkeiten als wesentliche Hindernisse für den effektiven Einsatz von KI in der OER-Produktion identifiziert. Welche Rückschlüsse lassen sich daraus für Lehrende\, Zentrale Dienste und die Hochschulentwicklung ziehen? \nLeitung: Dr. Klaus Wannemacher\, Funda Seyfeli-Özhizalan\, Dr. Mathias Stein (alle HIS-HE e.V.)
