SUMMARY:Stronger Together: The Network of Open Organizations
DESCRIPTION:The Network of Open Organizations is a global alliance of diverse institutions and leaders committed to expanding open education and access to knowledge worldwide. Launched in 2019 and coordinated by Open Education Global\, the Network brings together educational institutions\, NGOs\, inter-governmental bodies\, and other open advocates to collaborate on shared goals\, including supporting the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Educational Resources (OER) and advancing broader open education initiatives worldwide. By fostering ongoing dialogue\, mutual support\, and coordinated action\, the Network helps amplify collective efforts\, share best practices\, and align global\, regional\, and local strategies for openness in education and beyond. \nAt its core\, the Network serves as a learning and collaboration hub—a space where members exchange insights\, and also seek to co-develop initiatives\, and engage with complex challenges that no single organisation could address alone. \nThe Network of Open Organizations meets online on the first Tuesday of each month. Join us for the session during Open Education Week on Tuesday\, 3 March from 5:30 pm until 6:30 Paris time to engage with selected representatives of the Network of Open Organizations members\, learn about the network activities and future intentions and information on how to join.

SUMMARY:OEWeek Live! Beyond ChatGPT: GenAI in Action
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for our live streamed demos aimed at showing you first hand what Generative AI can do for educators that goes beyond the typical perception of the popular ChatGPT interaction\, and not just “prompt engineering”. \nWe have lined up three demos to perhaps make you say “Wow” but maybe also “Oh my ______”.  Watch the demos live streamed on YouTube and send your comments and questions directly through chat to the guests in studio. \nWe do not flip slides and show screenshots on OEWeek Live\, you will see screen shared live demos in action and than have an opportunity to contribute to a lively conversation. Our guests in the studio include: \nWatch What an Agentic Browser Can Do on a Student’s behalf\nAnna Mills English/Writing instructor and an early AI inquisitor\, will demonstrate something that may make your jaw drop. Beyond the chat interface we are used to are “agentic browsers” that can be set loose online to perform tasks for us. Anna has published several videos showing tools like Perplexity Comet\, ChatGPT Atlas\, and Google Gemini completing quizzes and replying to discussions in a Learning Management System\, all while logged in as a learner (without any direct involvement by the student). She argues for the platforms to provide better guardrails. \nAnna Mills teaches writing at College of Marin and previously taught at City College of San Francisco for 17 years. Her collection “AI Text Generators and Teaching Writing: Starting Points for Inquiry” is featured in the Writing Across the Curriculum Clearinghouse; it includes a curated collection of articles\, a set of sample AI essays\, and a list of strategies for mitigating educational harms associated with large language models. She has also written an Open Educational Resource (OER) textbook\, How Arguments Work: A Guide to Writing and Analyzing Texts in College\, which has been widely praised and used at over 45 colleges. As the English Discipline Lead for the Academic Senate of the California Community Colleges OER Initiative\, she leads professional development workshops on OER and collaborative annotation. Anna earned a master’s degree from Bennington College in Writing and Literature with a focus on nonfiction writing\, and her essays have appeared in journals such as The Writer’s Chronicle\, The Sun\, and Salmagundi. \nTwo Autonomous Agents Work Together to Generate OER\nYasin Dahi founder of Learnful will show us GenOER an experimental platform designed for educators to generate OER (including interactive H5P activities) that are fully designed and created by autonomous agents. The system deploys a powerful model of a pair two autonomous agents working together that simulate the principles of educational design — and Educator Agent and a Designer Agent. “GenOER is not just a tool — it’s a testbed for exploring one of the most pressing questions in open education today: what happens when the “author” of an open resource is an algorithm? I hope GenOER sparks discussion\, critique\, and collaboration across the OER community. This is an experiment\, but one that asks real questions about scale\, pedagogy\, licensing\, and the future of authorship.” \nYasin is the founder of Learnful\, an EdTech software company based in Waterloo\, Ontario\, Canada. He develops open-source solutions focused on open education and digital learning. His projects — including H5P Studio\, GenOER\, and Axiom — aim to democratize access to software tools for OER\, H5P\, and AI. \nAn OER Repository with an AI Assisted Form that Writes the Metadasta\nMuriel Peguret and Mirela Cherciov from the Camerise Project at York University’s Glendon Campus will be showing a new tool for using AI to generate metadata for OER that is submitted for Camerise K-12 Studio (a project being demonstrated in another OEWeek Event) \nMuriel Péguret received her PhD in FSL Applied Linguistics from Dalhousie University in 2009. She is an Associate Professor at York University in French Studies (Glendon College) and the Faculty of Education. She co-leads with Mirela Cherciov the Camerise K-12 Studio project (built by Learnful Labs Inc.)\, a repository of French as second language OER for K-12 teachers. \nMirela Cherciov is an Associate Researcher who is developing\, in collaboration with Muriel Péguret\, an OER platform for K-12 FSL teachers. She holds a PhD in French Studies from the University of Toronto. She conducted research on first-language attrition and bilingualism across the lifespan and has been teaching FSL and linguistics courses. \nWatch live here or return later to see the recording. \n\nImage Credits: Old TV – Time Tunnel – Cameron Highland flickr photo by liewcf shared under a Creative Commons (BY-SA 2.0) license remixed with OEW OEWeek image by Mario Badilla licensed CC BY 4.0 and Bart Fish & Power Tools of AI / Behaviour Power / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0

SUMMARY:Tuesday Demos Live:  AI Declaration Statement from Kwantlen Polytechnic University
DESCRIPTION:Learn about and try out yourself the AI Declaration Statement developed at OEGlobal member Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU). The template is woven into a Pressbooks Template offered to KPU faculty as a starting step for creating OER AI Declaration Statement template. \n\n\n\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, March 17 10:00am – 11:30am PDT (check for local time)\nWhere: Register to attend via zoom\nRecording:  Now available https://youtu.be/fbgALYrRMrc\nDiscuss: in OEG Connect\n\n\n\n\nAmanda Grey from KPU will share how and why the template was developed\, including its being remixed from Kari Weaver’s The Artificial Intelligence Disclosure (AID) Framework and the Me and My Machine Labels developed at Fontys University of Applied Science. \n\n\n\nAmanda shared the template last November in OEG Connect plus she and Karen presented it this week as a lightning talk for the Open Education Talks series. \n\n\n\nThis is not just talking over slides! Amanda and Karen will lead us through a guided practice of creating your own statement. So come with an OER you developed with GenAI assistance and leave with your own AI Declaration Statement you can add to it. \n\n\n\nWe will see as well some techniques KPU is trialing to have GenAI draft the statement and learn about ideas they have to make a version that is interactive. \n\n\n\nThis is also the first/premiere of our new series of Tuesdays Demo Live sessions offered by us where OEGlobal Members are here for both telling and showing their open education related projects and resources. To accomodate global schedules\, these will take place at various times on future Tuesdays. \n\n\n\nThis is also offered in conjunction with Open Education Week which does not stop after one week! \nLinks Mentioned\n\nKPU AI Declaration Statement https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/booktemplate/front-matter/ai-declaration-statement/\n\nPart of KPU Pressbooks Template https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/booktemplate/\nAI Use Self-Assessment Rubric [DOCX] https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/app/uploads/sites/263/2026/03/AI-Use-Rubric-for-OER-Creation.docx\nAmanda shared AI Declaration Statement in OEG Connect https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/ai-declaration-statement/8313\n\n\nThe Artificial Intelligence Disclosure (AID) Framework by Kari D.

SUMMARY:OER Under the Hood with LibreTexts: ADAPT
DESCRIPTION:Open Education Global (OEGlobal) opens a new season of its OER Under the Hood series where we take a test drive to admire the exterior features of OER. Then\, like we might do with a sports car\, we open the hood (or bonnet) to take a look at how it works\, share how it was designed and built\, and what a “driver” can do with it. These are all done as live screen share demos of the real OER\, not slide deck pictures of them. \nFor 2026\, OEGlobal is building these sessions to showcase OERs from member organizations with this session featuring our member LibreTexts. \nWe are pleased that the first 2026 OER Under the Hood features LibreTexts’s ADAPT an open-source homework and assessment platform integrated into the “LibreVerse.” ADAPT is flexible and works with several Learning Management systems allowing educators to create\, manage\, and grade assignments using its native question types as well as a huge bank of interactive activities\, including ones built in WebWork\, IMathAS\, and H5P. You will see its use of ADAPT’s “Discuss It” for rich media discussions and personalized “Learning Trees.” \nLibreTexts founder Delmar Larsen will be at the wheel for a lively and interactive session. You can learn how to explore ADAPT on your own after the show. \nWhen: Tuesday\, April 14 at 11:00am – 12:00pm PDT (check for local time)\nWhere: Register to attend via Zoom\nRecording: Will be posted after the event\nDiscuss: in OEG Connect \nLearn More\n\nIntroduction to ADAPT\nLibreTexts ADAPT web site\nLibreTexts ADAPT: Homework Reimagined (Demo\, YouTube)\nLibreTexts recordings from 2026 Open Education Week events (YouTube playlist)\n\nLook for more OER Under the Sessions to be added to the OEGlobal calendar. For OEGlobal members\, looks soon for more details on how your OER can be featured in a future session.

SUMMARY:How Do Course Materials Impact Student Belonging? Insights from User Experience Research (CCCOER Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Explore how course materials – especially OER – shape students’ sense of belonging through insights from a user-experience-informed research study with undergraduate learners. This CCCOER webinar highlights key questions faculty authors should ask themselves about course reading language\, organization\, and purpose\, in order to further student belonging. \nAttendees will take away practical strategies for editing OER with student needs in mind\, along with research approaches that can be adapted across higher education settings\, including community colleges. This session offers a concrete example of how thoughtful inquiry can guide the creation of more inclusive\, engaging\, and student-centered course materials. \nPresenters:\n\nSarah Hare\, MLIS\, Open Educational Resources Librarian\, University of California\, Santa Cruz\nAlexandra Marcaccio\, MA\, MLIS\, Atlantic OERLead\, The Council of Atlantic Academic Libraries/Conseil des bibliothèques postsecondaires de l’Atlantique (CAAL-CBPA)\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information on how to join us on April 15.
