Interview: OER and Student Advocacy – Gino Fransman
Wed March 5, 2025 @ 8:00 pm - 8:30 pm GMT
In this interview, Gino Fransman discusses the Open Education Influencers (OEIs) project, which empowers students to advocate for and engage with OER at Nelson Mandela University in South Africa and beyond. He emphasises the role of student advocates in promoting OER adoption, creation, and licensing while linking open education to broader social justice goals like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). He highlights the need for more diverse representation in open education, warns of the risks of underrepresentation in AI-driven language models, and encourages collaboration among institutions to reduce barriers, increase student engagement, and enhance lifelong learning opportunities.
