SUMMARY:The power\, potential\, and problems of open education for sustainable development- presented by Nick Baker and Mark Lubrick
DESCRIPTION:Open education can be a powerful contributor to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs)\, but it requires a carefully considered approach to avoid compounding existing inequalities or contributing further to sustainability challenges with the rapid implementation of digital tools with questionable sustainability. Open Educational Practices (OEP) and Open Educational Resources (OERs) can contribute to expanded learning about each of the SDGs\, making knowledge available to a wide audience. OERs can also directly contribute to SDG 4 (Quality Education)\, removing barriers to access. The 2019 UNESCO Recommendation on OER challenges educational institutions to support the transformation of education for sustainability by leveraging digital OER ecosystems and committing to a new social contract with high quality\, inclusive\, and sustainable education available to all the world’s citizens. While some universities have started to actively engage with this concept\, there needs to be a rapid acceleration and universality to this work that considers both local and global impact. \nThis session will explore how open educational practices can support sustainable development\, surface some of the challenges to this goal\, and discuss possible ways forward.

SUMMARY:Unlocking the Potential: Open Educational Practices and the Digital Transformation of Work-Integrated Learning Experiences
DESCRIPTION:This presentation delves into the transformative potential of open education in dismantling barriers for experiential learning within language minority contexts and in fostering an inclusive educational landscape. \nWe will first explore the concepts of experiential learning\, work-integrated learning (WIL)\, and open educational resources (OER)\, as well as provide context surrounding the creation of our OERs\, namely that this work has been spearheaded under the Consortium d’apprentissage expérientiel francophone de l’Ontario (CAPFO) program of eCampusOntario. \nWe will then dive into two OERs created within the context of CAPFO. The first OER will showcase our survey results from the WIL CAPFO Report in 2023 that canvas trends and challenges in the franco-ontarian sector. These insights will be complemented by an exploration of the WIL Framework\, a strategic tool developed within the CAPFO context to bolster educator engagement. \nBy sharing our experiences\, outcomes\, and collaborative frameworks\, we aim to inspire educators and institutions to embrace the power of open education in cultivating enriching experiential learning environments\, especially within language minority settings. \nWe are looking to share valuable insights and contribute to the ongoing discourse on the intersection of open education\, experiential learning\, and linguistic minorities to pave the way for a more accessible and inclusive educational future. \nThis presentation will help the audience explore the power of open education in breaking down barriers for experiential education in a language minority context.

SUMMARY:Open Bioinformatics Education for Professional Development A modular\, open education approach in Biochemistry- presented by Zareen Amtul
DESCRIPTION:Amid the increased demand for flexible learning experiences\, especially hybrid course offerings\, as well as an exponential growth in life science research data\, bioinformatics has become an exciting\, and popular skill set both in industry and academia. To increase students’ competencies and to get them familiarized with data science professions as well as to fulfil a substantial demand for technology use in post-secondary education\, we developed an open education resource containing a set of bioinformatic exercises into a capstone course of a graduate program. \nBioinformatic exercises were designed to teach students to navigate bioinformatic databases such as UniProt\, GenBank™\, BRENDA\, and SWISS-Model use built-in tools\, and software like MEGA\, and CHIMERA\, algorithms\, analyze data\, and perform programming in R and Python. The skillsets imparted by this hybrid bioinformatic pedagogical approach are meant to empower students to be able to leverage this knowledge for their future endeavours in the bioinformatics field. The student performance in the hybrid course and survey responses overwhelmingly suggested that greater\, and meaningful technology integration in teaching and learning going forward is direly needed.

SUMMARY:Augmenting OER with Open Source AI
DESCRIPTION:Join LibreTexts Founder and Executive Director\, Delmar Larsen\, and Head of External Education Programs for Sandbox AQ\, Marianna Bonanome as they discuss a new partnership to bring AI and OER together to help close the gender gap in the workforce. \nThis initiative is a collaborative effort to couple LibreTexts’ corpus (950\,000 webpages of OER content) with emerging AI so that OER texts can be equipped with a customized open source AI tutor. Intellectual isolation is a particular problem for adult learners who\, without close interactions with instructors and fellow students\, can lose focus. The AI tutor system will provide guidance to LibreTexts’ learning materials for individual students based on individual needs expressed in natural language. \n  \nAccess the recording for this presentation here:
