SUMMARY:Planes\, trains\, and generative AI: Recentering open education values in new technology adoption
DESCRIPTION:Many educators have felt pressure to climb aboard the generative AI train since it came barreling down the tracks. But what happens when we leap into new technologies without first pausing to imagine harms\, such as surveillance\, bias\, and discrimination? Join host Brenna Clarke Gray (Thompson Rivers University) and guest speaker Autumm Caines (University of Michigan – Dearborn) for a conversation about the pedagogical implications of generative AI. Can recentering the core values of the open education movement—equity\, inclusion\, transparency\, and social justice—in our pedagogy help us move forward in a good way? How do we introduce these considerations to our students and empower them to make informed decisions with new technologies? We’ll consider these questions and more in our hour together. \nThis event celebrates Open Education Week (March 4-8\, 2024). It is organized by the BC Open Education Librarians group (BCOEL) and generously sponsored by BCcampus\, with additional support from Kwanlten Polytechnic University\, snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓ – Langara College\, and University Canada West. \nNote: registration for this event ended on 03/03/2024.  \nImage courtesty of Tommy Jepsen via Pexels

SUMMARY:Leading Conversations on Academic Integrity: OER for Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:This virtual panel and roundtable discussion identifies ways to incorporate discipline-based knowledge-building exercises on academic integrity in post-secondary classrooms. \nThe panelists deliberate on the concept of learning culture and how to create teachable moments for student engagement. \nThe event highlights the impact of developing OERs and uses the case of a UBC Aspire (ALT-2040) Learning Transformations project\, Discipline-based Approaches to Academic Integrity\, to contextualize the discussion. The scholar-practitioners will contextualize ways to: \n\nAddress questions about accessibility and equity and how these considerations contribute to building cultures of academic integrity;\nFocus on intellectual integrity in the context of creative writing;\nDiscuss ownership\, voice and identity in academic writing as important conversation starters on academic integrity; and\nUtilize an OER to support classroom discussion on academic integrity\n\nThe panel discussion will be followed by a roundtable Q&A with student representatives about the usefulness of discussing academic integrity using the OER. \nREGISTER NOW \nPANELISTS\n\nDr. Robin Attas\nDr. Anita Chaudhuri\nDr. Lisa Grekul\nDr. Saeed Sabzian\nHafizat Sanni-Anibire\nDr. Brenda M.

SUMMARY:Open Education Week Celebration at Douglas College
DESCRIPTION:This Open Education Week\, the Douglas College Library\, with the generous support of BCcampus\, is hosting an Open Education Week Celebration on Wednesday\, March 5\, 2025! This event will be an opportunity to recognize achievements and to engage with\, learn from and share experiences with those who are interested in reducing course material costs for Douglas students. \nFor more than 10 years\, the faculty at Douglas College have contributed significantly to reducing commercial textbook costs for students. They have saved students over 7 million dollars ($7\,201\,134) by switching from a commercial textbook in their class to an open textbook. \nThis does not include the tremendous cost saving  for students when our faculty chose zero and/or low-cost course materials such as print or digital coursepacks\, freely available web content\, licensed digital materials accessible through the Library collection\, homework systems and more. \nThe Douglas College Library offers a range of services to support the work of faculty to move towards open or zero and/or low-cost materials\, and are excited that this support continues to expand as we develop staff expertise and offer tools such as TalisAspire. \nDouglas College Library is thankful to have received financial support from BCcampus to host this event.

SUMMARY:Science Education for a Just and Sustainable World
DESCRIPTION:March 2-6\, 2026 marks Open Education Week and UN SDG Action and Awareness Week. Join BCcampus\, the BC Open Education Librarians\, University Canada West\, and Langara College for a celebration of both of these events with keynote speaker Dr. Karen Cangialosi. \n  \nAs global social and environmental problems grow ever more intractable\, we need transformative pedagogies that support our students to become critical\, creative social agents capable of building a more sustainable and just world. \nOpen Pedagogy has the potential to shift our traditional modes of teaching and learning towards practices that nurture students to be creators of knowledge focused on the global good. These hopes could be realized if we are responsive to the dual upheavals caused by AI and the attacks on higher education. We can educate our STEM students to become scientists\, and all of our students\, to become citizens that are cognizant of an uncertain and challenging future\, and work from non-traditional frameworks–those that resist competitive\, hierarchical\, exploitative models of science. \nKey to achieving this vision is teaching undergraduates how to center Open Science as the default for how science is practiced by deeply integrating Open Pedagogical practices that support students to address inherent inequities\, problems with data-sharing\, and other barriers to the adoption of Open Science. To that end\, the OCTOPUS project was developed to support higher education faculty and staff to create openly licensed materials that may eventually constitute a comprehensive undergraduate Open Science-Open Pedagogy program. \n  \nSpeaker bio\nDr. Karen Cangialosi is a passionate change agent\, dedicated educator\, and student advocate with national recognition in open education\, STEM ed\, and digital pedagogy. As a Professor of Biology at Keene State College (now emeritus)\, she brought open education into the biology curriculum and led campus-wide initiatives to make science education more affordable and inclusive. She now serves as Director of Open Education & Open Science at the RIOS Institute which promotes racial justice and openness in STEM education. Her work centers on transforming higher ed systems to better serve students\, especially marginalized students. Her Educause article\, An AI-Driven Optimism for Transforming Higher Education (It’s Not What You Think) considers the juxtaposition of AI in education. She continues to advocate for integrating Open Science and Open Education to reimagine how we teach\, learn\, and collaborate in STEM\, always with a focus on transparency\, justice\, and meaningful change. To that end\, she is project director for the OCTOPUS project (Open Collaboration for Transformative Open Pedagogy to support Undergraduate Open Science Education) a collaborative effort between the BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium and the RIOS Institute.
