DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to the tenth event in our ENOEL Workshop series\, organised by SPARC Europe and the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL): “WS#10 Embrace the Open: Advocating for Open Education through its own tools”. \nOur workshop facilitators are: \n\nSylvia Moes (SURF\, Netherlands)\nLambert Heller (TIB- Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology\, Germany)\n\nOur workshop guests\, open to sharing their experience as OE teachers\, are: \n\nKatja Politt (Bielefeld University\, Germany)\nPaul Gobee (University of Leiden\, Netherlands)\n\nPaul Gobee will take us on his journey of creating an open content platform for anatomy education and its connection to the national platform edusources. Paul has been working for 10 years on the creation of OER\, and was successful in finding funding for the development of this platform and\, with this initiative\, sharing insights specifically for librarians on how they can support open educational resources. \nKatja Politt has been creating OER to teach German linguistics in higher education for eight years. She especially likes to develop games\, from smaller crossword puzzles up to fully gamified courses on syntactic analysis\, in order to make seemingly boring topics more fun. When developing the materials\, she always involves both students and colleagues for feedback. Many of her students are aspiring teachers\, and publishing her materials as OERs allows her students to bring the fun to their classrooms easily\, too. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nAn in-depth look at how an open content platform was conceived and built\nThe challenges educators face in adopting and utilising open content resources\nThe ongoing struggle against commercial publishers and their influence on educational materials\nThe challenges for educators when creating OER and receiving community feedback\nOER as a stepstone to improving the quality of teaching\nStrategies for librarians to ensure quality\, accessibility\, and sustainability in OER while curating and promoting OER.\n\nThe chat will be open for the audience to ask questions and engage in the discussion directly with our experts. \nAt the end of this workshop\, you will be able to: \n\nunderstand the importance of grouping OER\, in different formats and for different potential reusers\, into subject-specific collections\, to support the work of experts and ease the retrieval process.\nIdentify strategies to effectively disseminate resources that can be key to advancing the work of content experts at your local level while giving them the opportunity to be known and recognised.\nBetter understand the role of individual educators and communities of practice in developing and distributing OER.\nGenerate ideas of small steps to take towards opening up your own teaching materials\nCollaborate with content experts and librarians to find\, reuse\, adapt resources for a specific knowledge domain.\nDiscuss the role of librarians as reliable partners in making quality resources visible and reusable by partnering with content experts.\n\nPlease join us. Register using this link: https://tinyurl.com/ENOELWorkshop10 \nThe previous webinar recordings are available in the ENOEL Workshops playlist on our  @ENOELforOpen Youtube Channel. Slides\, workshop plans and other resources are openly available in the SPARC Europe Collection on Zenodo. \nWe hope you can make it\, and we encourage you to share this with your colleagues!
