SUMMARY:Open Educational Resources and Universal Design for Learning: Complementary Practices Supporting Student Success
DESCRIPTION:Open educational resources (OER) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) complement each other well to further accessible learning opportunities and support students’ success. In this webinar\, we will explore concepts like the social model of disability and how the UDL principle of “multiple means of representation” can be applied in the design of OER through things like multiple formats\, interactivity\, multimedia\, and good learning design and structure. This session will include lots of concrete examples to explore.  \nJosie Gray  (she/her) is the manager of production and publishing at BCcampus. She manages the B.C. Open Collection and provides training and support for B.C. faculty publishing open textbooks in Pressbooks. Josie has been learning about and teaching accessibility best practices in OER since 2016 and has a Masters of Design in Inclusive Design.   Check out the event website for details.

SUMMARY:Teaching with Wikipedia
DESCRIPTION:In this 50-minute webinar\, you’ll learn how to use a Wikipedia assignment and how to access Wiki Education’s free support and resources. You can still catch our event recordings\, if you missed the registration. \nWith the rise of AI\, assessing student work is challenging. This session\, presented by Andrés Vera from Wiki Education will show how a Wikipedia assignment can take students beyond the classroom.  \nBy using faculty expertise and Wikipedia’s rules\, students can fill content gaps\, improve representation\, and enhance citations. Wiki Education supports many faculty in the U.S. and Canada with custom syllabi\, resources\, training\, and staff support. Students gain research\, writing\, and digital literacy skills while improving knowledge equity.
