OEWeek Live! Beyond ChatGPT: GenAI in Action
2026-03-03 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Regina) | Concord, United States, Concord, MA, United States
Get ready for our live streamed demos aimed at showing you first hand what Generative AI can do for educators that goes beyond the typical perception of the popular ChatGPT interaction, and not just “prompt engineering”.
We have lined up three demos to perhaps make you say “Wow” but maybe also “Oh my ______”. Watch the demos live streamed on YouTube and send your comments and questions directly through chat to the guests in studio.
We do not flip slides and show screenshots on OEWeek Live, you will see screen shared live demos in action and than have an opportunity to contribute to a lively conversation. Our guests in the studio include:
Watch What an Agentic Browser Can Do on a Student’s behalf
Anna Mills English/Writing instructor and an early AI inquisitor, will demonstrate something that may make your jaw drop. Beyond the chat interface we are used to are “agentic browsers” that can be set loose online to perform tasks for us. Anna has published several videos showing tools like Perplexity Comet, ChatGPT Atlas, and Google Gemini completing quizzes and replying to discussions in a Learning Management System, all while logged in as a learner (without any direct involvement by the student). She argues for the platforms to provide better guardrails.
Anna Mills teaches writing at College of Marin and previously taught at City College of San Francisco for 17 years. Her collection “AI Text Generators and Teaching Writing: Starting Points for Inquiry” is featured in the Writing Across the Curriculum Clearinghouse; it includes a curated collection of articles, a set of sample AI essays, and a list of strategies for mitigating educational harms associated with large language models. She has also written an Open Educational Resource (OER) textbook, How Arguments Work: A Guide to Writing and Analyzing Texts in College, which has been widely praised and used at over 45 colleges. As the English Discipline Lead for the Academic Senate of the California Community Colleges OER Initiative, she leads professional development workshops on OER and collaborative annotation. Anna earned a master’s degree from Bennington College in Writing and Literature with a focus on nonfiction writing, and her essays have appeared in journals such as The Writer’s Chronicle, The Sun, and Salmagundi.
Two Autonomous Agents Work Together to Generate OER
Yasin Dahi founder of Learnful will show us GenOER an experimental platform designed for educators to generate OER (including interactive H5P activities) that are fully designed and created by autonomous agents. The system deploys a powerful model of a pair two autonomous agents working together that simulate the principles of educational design — and Educator Agent and a Designer Agent. “GenOER is not just a tool — it’s a testbed for exploring one of the most pressing questions in open education today: what happens when the “author” of an open resource is an algorithm? I hope GenOER sparks discussion, critique, and collaboration across the OER community. This is an experiment, but one that asks real questions about scale, pedagogy, licensing, and the future of authorship.”
Yasin is the founder of Learnful, an EdTech software company based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. He develops open-source solutions focused on open education and digital learning. His projects — including H5P Studio, GenOER, and Axiom — aim to democratize access to software tools for OER, H5P, and AI.
An OER Repository with an AI Assisted Form that Writes the Metadasta
Muriel Peguret and Mirela Cherciov from the Camerise Project at York University’s Glendon Campus will be showing a new tool for using AI to generate metadata for OER that is submitted for Camerise K-12 Studio (a project being demonstrated in another OEWeek Event)
Muriel Péguret received her PhD in FSL Applied Linguistics from Dalhousie University in 2009. She is an Associate Professor at York University in French Studies (Glendon College) and the Faculty of Education. She co-leads with Mirela Cherciov the Camerise K-12 Studio project (built by Learnful Labs Inc.), a repository of French as second language OER for K-12 teachers.
Mirela Cherciov is an Associate Researcher who is developing, in collaboration with Muriel Péguret, an OER platform for K-12 FSL teachers. She holds a PhD in French Studies from the University of Toronto. She conducted research on first-language attrition and bilingualism across the lifespan and has been teaching FSL and linguistics courses.
