SUMMARY:The Open Education Journey: Creating and Sharing Open Education Resources
DESCRIPTION:Mark Open Education Week and join us for a panel event celebrating the authors behind the University of Leeds Open Books programme. This session is designed for anyone curious about open education – whether you’re involved or just beginning to explore what open educational resources might look like in your own teaching or practice. \nAuthors of open educational resources from across the University of Leeds will share their experiences of creating and publishing openly through the University of Leeds Open Books initiative\, including how they have used Pressbooks as the platform for writing\, adapting\, and sharing open content. They’ll reflect on the journey from first ideas and early questions to co-creation and classroom use\, and student impact\, as well as what they learned along the way. \nYou’ll hear about a range of highly valuable open education resources currently in production\, why authors chose to develop an open educational resource\, how the process works in practice\, and how openness and open publishing platforms such as Pressbooks can support accessibility\, access\, pedagogical innovation\, collaboration\, knowledge equity\, sustainability\, and student engagement. There’ll be plenty of space for questions and discussion\, making this a welcoming opportunity to learn from colleagues. \nWhether you’re taking your very first steps into open education or simply want to see what’s being created at Leeds\, this event offers reassurance\, practical insight\, and a chance to connect with others at different stages of the open education journey. \nPanelists include: Fazil Acar\, Costas Loizou\, John Palfreyman\, Pierre-Philippe Dechant\, J Simon Rofe\, Carly O’Neill-Barrett\, Rachel Nisbet\, Barbara Nkosana\, Benjamin Chong\, Evangelia Papavasileiou \nSee also the December 2044 announcement Library\, Open Educational Resources Launching University of Leeds Open Books.

SUMMARY:Prácticas de conocimiento abiertas y equitativas en el mundo de habla hispana
DESCRIPTION:Esta sesión inaugural examinará tanto los fundamentos filosóficos como las aplicaciones prácticas de la Equidad del Conocimiento en el mundo hispanohablante\, destacando cómo se están desarrollando enfoques abiertos\, inclusivos y centrados en la comunidad para abordar las desigualdades estructurales en el acceso al conocimiento. \nLa sesión explorará cómo tecnologías emergentes\, como la IA generativa\, se intersectan con las prácticas de conocimiento equitativas; cómo la educación abierta puede apoyar a estudiantes de comunidades con menor acceso a oportunidades educativas y de contextos socioeconómicamente desfavorecidos mediante espacios de aprendizaje flexibles y adaptativos; y cómo los esfuerzos de inclusión digital\, especialmente en la educación primaria\, pueden ayudar a garantizar que niñas y niños tengan un acceso temprano y significativo a las herramientas y habilidades digitales necesarias para participar plenamente en los ecosistemas contemporáneos del conocimiento.
