SUMMARY:Maada’oonidiwag – Sharing Anishinaabe pedagogies into a Western OER- presented by Jamie Kechego and Lorie Stolarchuk
DESCRIPTION:Aanii and Biindige! Sharing personal Anishinaabe perspectives when weaving Indigenous Ways of Knowing into Western ways of teaching and learning was central to creating a module within an Open Educational Resource (OER). \nThis session explores lessons learned while creating the OER module on Indigenous Pedagogies\, which included videos\, images\, text\, and exercises. OER Videos were filmed in many settings\, including a visit to a Reserve and Residential School memorial. The videos are embedded into an eCampusOntario project on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) – Inclusivity\, Diversity\, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA). Universities Canada’s principles on Indigenous education recognize that universities across Canada must commit to closing the education gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. \nOut of 13 principles developed in close consultation with Indigenous communities\, principle 11 states that universities need to “recognize the importance of providing greater exposure and knowledge for non-indigenous students on the realities\, histories\, cultures and beliefs of Indigenous people in Canada.” Mino-bmaadizin (the good life) was tied into the module’s design\, knotted with references to nourishing learning spirits beyond the four walls of a classroom by including land-based and place-based learning. Teachings from the Medicine Wheel framework embraced the physical\, emotional\, spiritual\, and mental dimensions. Jaimie shares her personal connection to the Indigenous Pedagogy principle featured in each video. The goal as we advance would be to braid other Indigenous voices and connections to the various topics for future open educational videos.

SUMMARY:The power\, potential\, and problems of open education for sustainable development- presented by Nick Baker and Mark Lubrick
DESCRIPTION:Open education can be a powerful contributor to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs)\, but it requires a carefully considered approach to avoid compounding existing inequalities or contributing further to sustainability challenges with the rapid implementation of digital tools with questionable sustainability. Open Educational Practices (OEP) and Open Educational Resources (OERs) can contribute to expanded learning about each of the SDGs\, making knowledge available to a wide audience. OERs can also directly contribute to SDG 4 (Quality Education)\, removing barriers to access. The 2019 UNESCO Recommendation on OER challenges educational institutions to support the transformation of education for sustainability by leveraging digital OER ecosystems and committing to a new social contract with high quality\, inclusive\, and sustainable education available to all the world’s citizens. While some universities have started to actively engage with this concept\, there needs to be a rapid acceleration and universality to this work that considers both local and global impact. \nThis session will explore how open educational practices can support sustainable development\, surface some of the challenges to this goal\, and discuss possible ways forward.

SUMMARY:Open Bioinformatics Education for Professional Development A modular\, open education approach in Biochemistry- presented by Zareen Amtul
DESCRIPTION:Amid the increased demand for flexible learning experiences\, especially hybrid course offerings\, as well as an exponential growth in life science research data\, bioinformatics has become an exciting\, and popular skill set both in industry and academia. To increase students’ competencies and to get them familiarized with data science professions as well as to fulfil a substantial demand for technology use in post-secondary education\, we developed an open education resource containing a set of bioinformatic exercises into a capstone course of a graduate program. \nBioinformatic exercises were designed to teach students to navigate bioinformatic databases such as UniProt\, GenBank™\, BRENDA\, and SWISS-Model use built-in tools\, and software like MEGA\, and CHIMERA\, algorithms\, analyze data\, and perform programming in R and Python. The skillsets imparted by this hybrid bioinformatic pedagogical approach are meant to empower students to be able to leverage this knowledge for their future endeavours in the bioinformatics field. The student performance in the hybrid course and survey responses overwhelmingly suggested that greater\, and meaningful technology integration in teaching and learning going forward is direly needed.

SUMMARY:Openness as a pedagogy of abundance – Presented by Dave Cormier
DESCRIPTION:In 2011 Martin Weller made a call for a pedagogy of abundance. How do we help people learn in a world where we have too much information? How do we help people engage students in our classrooms when they are surrounded by so many distractions? And\, maybe more importantly\, how do we encourage students to do the work when they have so many options (I’m looking at you GenAI) to get around it? This presentation will argue that the solution is to open things up\, rather than to shut them down

SUMMARY:Empowering Course Design with Open Educational Resources (OER) in Learning Management Systems (LMS)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Shahram Fardadvand. \nThe integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) with Learning Management  Systems (LMS) such as Moodle and Canvas is redefining course design by  enabling educators to create accessible\, flexible\, and dynamic learning  experiences. This session explores how Pressbooks\, an open-source publishing platform\, improves LMS capabilities by simplifying the integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) into well-structured course designs. Pressbooks offers powerful export options for designing courses that combine chapters and materials from diverse OER sources. Educators can remix\, adapt\, and integrate content into unified course modules while retaining the interactivity and accessibility essential for today’s learners. \nThis presentation demonstrates how Pressbooks empowers educators to build flexible courses tailored to their curriculum by embedding resources directly within LMS platforms. Educators can improve teaching by using Pressbooks’ easy integration. This integration helps deliver content better and engages learners more. Examples of successful course designs will show how combining material from different Open Educational Resources (OER) improves teaching and learning. \nParticipants will learn to utilize Pressbooks and the LMS to create interactive\, accessible\, modular courses. This method provides equitable access to quality education and enables educators to tailor learning for diverse audiences.

SUMMARY:Practicing Democratic Education with a Course-Based Custom GPT and Dialogic Prompts
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on interactive workshop presented by Dr Olga Shugurova explores the innovative use of AI such as custom GPT models and dialogical prompts (Matusov\, ChatGPT4\, Smith & Shugurova\,2023) to create democratic open educational resources (OERs). \nThe use of conversational AI in education has shown promising results in enhancing learning outcomes (Chiu et al.\, 2023). A systematic review by Henry et al. (2021) highlighted the need for an interdisciplinary and critical approach to AI literacy. Labadze et al. (2023) reported that chatbot technology significantly improves learning achievement\, explicit reasoning\, and knowledge retention. \nDr Shugurova will demonstrate how educators can build their own course-based GPT that caters to diverse student goals\, interests\, needs and creates a psychologically safe learning environment. \n\nParticipants will learn how to:\nDesign and fine-tune custom GPT models for specific educational contexts\nCraft effective dialogical prompts that engage students and promote critical thinking without any technical skills\nIntegrate course content to create comprehensive\, interactive learning experiences that inspire learning\nAddress ethical considerations and potential biases in this GPT-powered educational pathway\n\nThe workshop will showcase the practical examples of custom GPT applications in various disciplines\, highlighting their potential to democratize education. It will also discuss strategies for ensuring accessibility and inclusivity when implementing these technologies. \nThrough hands-on activities and live demonstrations\, attendees will gain practical experience in developing their own course-based GPT. The session will conclude with a collaborative discussion on the future of AI in open education and its implications for democratic education. \nThis workshop is suitable for educational leaders\, educators\, instructional designers\, and educational technologists interested in exploring the intersection of AI and open education. Participants will leave with actionable insights and resources to begin implementing custom GPT in their own educational contexts.
