SUMMARY:Une gestion de projet efficace pour le développement et la pérennité des REL:  le rôle stratégique de la personne chargée de projet pédagonumérique
DESCRIPTION:Cette conférence propose un retour d’expérience sur la création d’une ressource éducative libre (REL) à l’École des sciences de la gestion de l’UQAM\, en soulignant l’importance d’une gestion de projet structurée pour assurer le succès et la pérennité de telles initiatives. La réussite des projets REL et la mise en œuvre de pratiques éducatives ouvertes exigent bien plus qu’une simple volonté d’innovation. Elles reposent sur une coordination structurée et interdisciplinaire\, souvent sous-estimée dans les discours institutionnels\, mais reconnue comme un facteur clé de réussite dans la littérature. À partir d’une expérience de terrain\, nous montrerons comment une gestion de projet rigoureuse — intégrant la planification\, la coordination interdisciplinaire\, l’animation d’équipe\, le suivi\, la documentation et la diffusion — constitue un levier essentiel pour aboutir à une ressource cohérente\, libre\, accessible et réutilisable. \nSeront mis en évidence les différents leviers qui ont favorisé ce projet : la complémentarité des expertises (chargés de cours\, professeurs\, technopédagogues\, conseillers pédagogiques\, bibliothécaires\, étudiants auxiliaires\, graphistes\, techniciens multimédias\, réviseurs linguistiques)\, l’appui d’une politique locale\, un accompagnement soutenu\, ainsi que l’accès à une plateforme ouverte (Pressbooks) et à un environnement numérique d’apprentissage institutionnel (Moodle). \nCette présentation offre une réflexion sur les conditions à réunir pour pérenniser la création de REL à l’échelle d’un établissement\, tout en reconnaissant pleinement l’expertise des professionnels en gestion de projets spécialisés en pédagogie numérique comme facteur déterminant de succès. \nAvec la participation et la collaboration de : Sirléia Ferreira Rosa\, chargée de projets pédagonumériques\, UQAM

SUMMARY:Trent University OER Launch Party: OER? Oh! We Are!
DESCRIPTION:What happens when educators say yes to sharing?\nWhen students say yes to co-creating?\nWhen learning says yes to openness?  \nJoin us for the virtual launch of our new Open Education Resource; a project built on collaboration\, curiosity\, and the belief that learning is deepened when it’s shared.  \nThis won’t be a formal presentation. It’s a call and response experience. It’s an invitation to join a community.  \nWe’ll share the story behind the resource: why we built it\, what problems it hopes to solve\, and how it invites a response. You’ll hear short reflections from contributors\, see inside the resource itself\, and have space to respond: in the chat\, on the mic\, in ideas sparked for your own teaching and learning.  \nCome explore how this resource might liven your courses\, reduce barriers\, and open new pedagogical possibilities. Bring your curiosity. Bring a question. Bring a colleague or a classmate.  \nLet’s launch something and respond to what it becomes.  \nHosted by Terry Greene\, Senior eLearning Designer\, with collaborators Darcy Culp and Najah Wardat.  \nIf you have any questions\, please feel free to reach out to teachingcommons@trentu.ca \nUpdate\nOh! We Are! was definitely launched in this webinar and is available to all at https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/openattrent

SUMMARY:Tuesday Demos Live:  AI Declaration Statement from Kwantlen Polytechnic University
DESCRIPTION:Learn about and try out yourself the AI Declaration Statement developed at OEGlobal member Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU). The template is woven into a Pressbooks Template offered to KPU faculty as a starting step for creating OER AI Declaration Statement template. \n\n\n\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, March 17 10:00am – 11:30am PDT (check for local time)\nWhere: Register to attend via zoom\nRecording:  Now available https://youtu.be/fbgALYrRMrc\nDiscuss: in OEG Connect\n\n\n\n\nAmanda Grey from KPU will share how and why the template was developed\, including its being remixed from Kari Weaver’s The Artificial Intelligence Disclosure (AID) Framework and the Me and My Machine Labels developed at Fontys University of Applied Science. \n\n\n\nAmanda shared the template last November in OEG Connect plus she and Karen presented it this week as a lightning talk for the Open Education Talks series. \n\n\n\nThis is not just talking over slides! Amanda and Karen will lead us through a guided practice of creating your own statement. So come with an OER you developed with GenAI assistance and leave with your own AI Declaration Statement you can add to it. \n\n\n\nWe will see as well some techniques KPU is trialing to have GenAI draft the statement and learn about ideas they have to make a version that is interactive. \n\n\n\nThis is also the first/premiere of our new series of Tuesdays Demo Live sessions offered by us where OEGlobal Members are here for both telling and showing their open education related projects and resources. To accomodate global schedules\, these will take place at various times on future Tuesdays. \n\n\n\nThis is also offered in conjunction with Open Education Week which does not stop after one week! \nLinks Mentioned\n\nKPU AI Declaration Statement https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/booktemplate/front-matter/ai-declaration-statement/\n\nPart of KPU Pressbooks Template https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/booktemplate/\nAI Use Self-Assessment Rubric [DOCX] https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/app/uploads/sites/263/2026/03/AI-Use-Rubric-for-OER-Creation.docx\nAmanda shared AI Declaration Statement in OEG Connect https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/ai-declaration-statement/8313\n\n\nThe Artificial Intelligence Disclosure (AID) Framework by Kari D.

SUMMARY:Pressbooks Around the World: Open Publishing in Practice Across Europe
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a global conversation on open publishing in higher education\, featuring Pressbooks partners from across Europe. In this panel\, leaders from the University of Groningen (the Netherlands)\, the Technological University of the Shannon (Ireland)\, and HfH Digital (Switzerland) will share how they are building and scaling open publishing networks to support various publishing initiatives. \nEach panelist will showcase their Pressbooks network and highlight key projects\, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how open publishing is being implemented in different national and institutional contexts. We’ll explore why each institution chose to launch a Pressbooks network\, the types of publishing they support\, and how these platforms are advancing institutional goals around openness\, access\, and teaching innovation. \nAttendees will hear what each team is most proud of\, lessons learned along the way\, and what’s next for open publishing at their institutions.
