SUMMARY:Open Pedagogical Practices: Using Wikipedia in the Classroom with guest presenter Sarah Severson
DESCRIPTION:Wikipedia in the classroom is often seen as something to avoid or “consumed at your peril.” In this presentation\, Sarah will discuss how we can reshape this perspective to demonstrate that Wikipedia is an open educational resource that can be utilized alongside open pedagogical practices. Instead of viewing Wikipedia as something we passively consume as readers\, she will emphasize how it can serve as a valuable resource for teaching media literacy\, critical thinking\, writing\, and research skills. This hybrid presentation will include examples of Wikipedia-based assignments\, case studies\, and available resources. \nSarah Severson (she/her) is a librarian at the University of Alberta Library\, residing in amiskwaciy-wâskahikan (Edmonton) on Treaty 6 and Métis territory. She has been a casual Wikipedia editor for over ten years and has participated in many edit-a-thons and training sessions. In 2020\, she supervised the Wikipedian-in-Residence at the University of Alberta and has served on the board of directors of Wikimedia Canada since 2019. This year\, she joined the Art + Feminism campaign as a Regional Ambassador. Sarah views Wikipedia as an important alternative publishing model within our media landscape and believes it’s vital to engage with it critically as a librarian.

SUMMARY:Open Pedagogical Practices: How to be Open in your classroom
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, you will hear from Dr. Robert Lawson and Gayle St. Denis about the foundation of open pedagogy and the opportunities it presents. Open pedagogy empowers students to become involved in the development or co-development of educational resources. At some institutions\, students are now co-creating multiple-choice questions\, case studies\, Wikipedia articles\, and even textbooks. \nIn this session you will review how open education can promote social justice and provide students with the 21st-century skills they will need upon graduation. You will also explore ways to scaffold this approach for you and your students. Come join us to learn more about this exciting and rewarding learning approach!

SUMMARY:The Provocations of Indigenous Cultures within a Conference: Using Métissage to Explore the In/Compatibility of Indigenous Ways of Knowing with Open Education
DESCRIPTION:At OE Global 2023 Indigenous ways of knowing and being were a fundamental component of the conference design and organization. Indigenous and non-Indigenous organizers established a collaborative governance approach to foster partnership and mutual guidance throughout the planning and execution stages. \nIn this session\, Dawn Witherspoon\, Darrion Letendre\, and Robert Lawson will perform métissage to recount the design and implementation of\, and personal experiences with\, a conference program that reflected the concept of two-eyed seeing\, navigating Indigenous and non-Indigenous worldviews. We will explore the incompatibility and compatibility of Indigenous ways of knowing with the ontological and epistemological assumptions embedded into open education. A fundamental question we examine is how the braiding of conference stories can unearth the interplay of Indigenous (nêhiyawîhcikêwin Plains Cree) ways of knowing with the values and practices of open education.

SUMMARY:Leading the Way: How NorQuest Became an Open Education Leader
DESCRIPTION:Open Education at NorQuest College has changed dramatically since 2016\, when we first began encouraging faculty to incorporate open images into their online courses. What started as a small initiative has expanded into a major campus initiative. \n  \nOur Reimagine Higher Education plan positioned NorQuest as a world leader in open education\, with ambitious goals: publishing 15 open textbooks by 2030\, hosting the Open Education Global 2023 conference\, and becoming a textbook-cost-free institution by the end of the decade. \n  \nWe are not only meeting these goals—we’re surpassing them. \n  \nIn a panel discussion with open stakeholders at NorQuest\, we will explore the impact of open education at our college and speculate on next steps in our open journey.

SUMMARY:Keeping Learning Open in an Era of Censorship
DESCRIPTION:Open Education has evolved from a focus on textbook savings to a broader movement for advancing social justice. In today’s geopolitical climate\, it can also serve as a form of resistance—challenging political narratives and restrictions. \n  \nIn this session from Norquest College\, we will explore censorship threats to Open Education. Conversely\, we will also speculate on how Open Education can undermine information controls and help sustain access to knowledge.
