In the Living Room with the Open Education Network and MIT OpenCourseWare – Two Highlighted Resources
March 7, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm GMT
Join us as we talk about two open educational resources: 1) Data Analysis for Social Sciences offered by MIT OpenCourseWare and 2) Accessible Appalachia by Lisa Day and Jacob Johnson, which can be found in the Open Education Network’s Open Textbook Library.
While we will focus on just one resource each, we will highlight how these publications are a reflection of the diversity of our collections. In order to share the work of our organizations and what that looks like, we will take a brief tour of each resource, including author profiles and/or instructor priorities. We will also meet people involved in their production, and talk about how the materials evolved through the publication process. Our goals for the conversation are to celebrate and highlight two openly available resources and the people involved in creating and sharing them. Attendees will gain an introduction to the Open Education Network’s Open Textbook Library and to MIT OpenCourseWare’s course materials, and have the opportunity to discuss open educational publications with others.
Speakers:
- Karen Lauritsen, Open Education Network – Senior Director, Publishing
- Bailey Lake, Eastern Kentucky University – Assistant University Librarian
- Shira Segal, MIT OpenCourseWare – Collaborations and Engagement Manager
- Cheryl Siegel, MIT OpenCourseWare – Publication Manager and Social Media Coordinator
