SUMMARY:Opening the Book on Access: A Nursing Faculty’s First OER Experience
DESCRIPTION:I took a leap and implemented an OER textbook in my Population and Environmental Health Nursing course in Fall 2025. The results were positive in so many ways! My purpose is to encourage other faculty to improve textbook affordability and equity in nursing education. Here is my story: \nThis case study explores the implementation and impact of an Open Educational Resource (OER) textbook in a prelicensure Population and Environmental Health Nursing course for senior nursing students. During the Fall 2025 semester\, a group of 39 students used an OpenStax OER textbook in a sixteen-week\, in-person course instead of a traditional\, commercially published textbook. \nThe goal of this project was to evaluate student satisfaction and academic outcomes related to using OER materials. Data were collected through a post-course survey that assessed satisfaction\, perceived learning\, and accessibility\, along with comparing Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) proctored exam scores to those of a previous semester’s cohort who had to purchase a traditional textbook. \nResults showed high student satisfaction\, with participants citing ease of access on the first day of class\, affordability\, and similar or improved learning experiences. Analysis of ATI scores indicated that students in the OER group performed as well as their peers using traditional textbooks\, suggesting that cost savings did not negatively impact academic performance. Switching to OER materials saved approximately $150 per student\, totaling nearly $6\,000 in savings for the entire cohort. This is especially important\, as over half of the program’s nursing students are Pell Grant-eligible\, highlighting the financial equity benefits of adopting OER resources in nursing education. Overall\, this case study endorses OER integration as a sustainable\, student-centered strategy to improve access\, affordability\, and achievement in undergraduate nursing education.

SUMMARY:Leading the Way: How NorQuest Became an Open Education Leader
DESCRIPTION:Open Education at NorQuest College has changed dramatically since 2016\, when we first began encouraging faculty to incorporate open images into their online courses. What started as a small initiative has expanded into a major campus initiative. \n  \nOur Reimagine Higher Education plan positioned NorQuest as a world leader in open education\, with ambitious goals: publishing 15 open textbooks by 2030\, hosting the Open Education Global 2023 conference\, and becoming a textbook-cost-free institution by the end of the decade. \n  \nWe are not only meeting these goals—we’re surpassing them. \n  \nIn a panel discussion with open stakeholders at NorQuest\, we will explore the impact of open education at our college and speculate on next steps in our open journey.

SUMMARY:Wikipedia & Open Pedagogy
DESCRIPTION:For decades Wikipedia was stigmatized because of its self-governed and open approach to content creation and revision. After 25 years since its launch\, Wikipedia has offered a unique opportunity for students in open pedagogical environments. This Brock University session will address the incorporation of Wikipedia assignments into post-secondary courses\, popular initiatives that might appeal to instructors and students\, and important considerations for instructors who are contemplating incorporating Wikipedia into their course design. Hosted by a Wikipedian/Librarian who brings 10 years of experience editing\, teaching\, and researching Wikipedia\, participants will leave this session with an understanding of what is required to build Wikipedia into an existing or new course\, what they can expect from students\, and what students can expect to learn. \nThis Workshop will be lead by Denise Smith\, Head\, Research Lifecycle\, Brock Library

SUMMARY:Open to All: Accessibility in the LibreVerse
DESCRIPTION:Open education only works if everyone can access it. That’s why LibreTexts is currently conducting a comprehensive accessibility audit of our platform and features\, with the results shaping both our updated conformance documentation and a clear roadmap to remove barriers for students and content authors alike. \nOur goal is to meet or exceed the Revised 508 Standards and WCAG 2.1 AA because accessibility isn’t a checkbox\, it’s a core part of what it means to build education that truly belongs to everyone. Accessibility conformance documentation is already available\, and we encourage anyone who encounters an accessibility concern to report it directly to us. We also provide a full suite of authoring tools to help content creators build with accessibility in mind from the start.

SUMMARY:Finding\, Using\, and Creating Open Educational Resources
DESCRIPTION:Whether adapting an existing OER\, transitioning your course materials into the Open\, or creating an OER from scratch\, you will likely be using materials created by others. Because Open doesn’t just apply to the finished resource but all of the elements within the resource\, it is important to ensure that everything you include in your OER respects licensing requirements. In this session we will walk you through some strategies for finding open content to adapt\, or include within your learning resources\, as well as best practices for attribution. We will also provide you with guidance for developing your own search plan and documentation\, including a workflow and templates for curating resource details. \nThis session will cover: \n\nIdentifying open educational resource repositories and online spaces for finding content\nDeveloping a search plan for finding resources across platforms\nDeveloping a workflow for curating resource details for use in an open educational resource project\nIdentifying terms of use and licensing of resources and attribution practice

DESCRIPTION:Uitnodiging themasessie in de Open Onderwijs Week  \nGraag nodigen we uit voor een online informatiesessie over twee nieuwe tools die het vinden\, verrijken en delen van open leermaterialen eenvoudiger maken.  \nOER-wizard\, een tool om materialen laagdrempelig te vinden en te delen in collecties. \nDemonstratie OER wizard door Sylvia Moes.\nDe OER-wizard is een tool waarmee je content uit andere repositories kunt doorzoeken\, en op laagdrempelige wijze via SURFsharekit kunt verrijken met onderwijskundige metadata. Op dit moment kun je via de OER-wizard inhoud zoeken naar DOAB-boeken\, Open Textbooks\, Medpix en Europeana.\nZie ook het artikel Steeds meer open tekstboeken op de communitypagina Open Tekstboeken\n\nSneller open leermaterialen vinden met de OER Discovery Tool\nDemonstratie OER Discovery Tool door Michel Saive\nDe bibliotheek van Universiteit Maastricht ontwikkeling een nieuwe tool die het zoeken naar open onderwijsmaterialen veel eenvoudiger maakt. Tijdens de demonstratie laat Michel zien hoe deze met behulp van AI automatisch relevante zoekwoorden op basis van cursusomschrijvingen. De tool doorzoekt vervolgens vijf grote repositories\, waardoor de docent binnen twee minuten open leermaterialen de verbinding vindt bij de thema’s die in de gekozen cursus aan bod komen.\nZie ook het interview  Zo geeft Universiteit Maastricht open leermaterialen een vaste plek in het onderwijs    \nWe laten tijdens de bijeenkomst zien hoe beide tools werken\, zodat je weet wat voor mogelijkheden er zijn om open leermaterialen te vinden en hoe je de OER-wizard zelf kunt inzetten in contact met het onderwijs.   \nNa afloop van de demo’s is er een gelegenheid om vragen te stellen.  \nHartelijke groet\, namens experts Npuls en de werkgroep Bibliotheken en Open en Online Onderwijs\,  \nIrma van Houts en Brenda Lems

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:Kaïros and OER: education for all and economic balance
DESCRIPTION:Educational resources are not free for everyone. UNESCO‘s definition of OER\, while encouraging the free publication of OER and authorising their reuse\, adaptation and redistribution by others\, often deprives the authors of the original work of feedback from those who use them. One of the consequences of these OER being ‘released into the wild’ is the multiplication of efforts to update resources to prevent them from becoming obsolete. Our approach to Open Education is as follows: to enable the use of training resources developed as part of publicly funded projects in a learning environment\, and to ensure the sustainability of training courses by simplifying user contributions on the one hand\, and paid support services on the other. \nThis webinar will present the Kaïros platform (open source under AGPL licence)\, which provides free access to training (via Edu-ID for the academic community or by creating a local account for other audiences) and where the process of continuous improvement of the quality of educational resources takes place. Two training courses are already available for free access: Digital Skills and Critical AI Literacy for Learning (CAILL). To ensure the sustainability of content: In the Kaïros learning environment\, all stakeholders can contribute to preventing  obsolescence by reporting content that is unclear or has become obsolete. These reports are made directly by users and are processed weekly\, ensuring that resources are always up to date. To ensure financial sustainability: We will discuss the economic model for these courses\, which is based on an institutional strategy of sustainability rather than disposability: free access to courses for end users\, with paid training  certificates\, and institutional services billed to the institutions that use them in their training programmes (e.g. interfaces for tracking cohorts of learners). \nSpeaker: Prof. Agrégé Jean-Michel Jullien\, Responsable EDUDL+\, UniDistance Suisse
