SUMMARY:Shifting to Community Owned and Operated Open Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Open Education Week (March 3 – 7\, 2025)\, the University of Regina’s Centre for Teaching and Learning OEP Program invites you to a special online presentation by Dr. Cable Green\, Director of Open Knowledge at Creative Commons. \nAbstract\nIf we are going to solve the world’s most pressing challenges (e.g.\, climate change)\, the knowledge about those challenges must be open. \nThis talk will explore what open knowledge structures society might need to ensure the knowledge components necessary for education and science – both critical elements in solving global challenges – are open by default. Open Education and Open Science both require significant\, stable public funding. Both education and science are public goods and the production\, reuse and revisions of education and science resources should be publicly funded and openly licensed to ensure educational opportunities for all. \nWhat might “Community Owned and Operated Open Education” look like? What are the barriers and the opportunities? What if funding currently spent on expensive commercial educational resources were redirected to support the creation\, stewardship and sharing of effective OER in every discipline\, in every grade level in multiple languages? What if we redirected existing public funding to create a sustained shared open learning infrastructure for the public good?

SUMMARY:Keynote: Racing Towards a Wasted Future: Generative AI and the Resurgence of Nuclear Energy (Dr. Marco Seiferle-Valencia)
DESCRIPTION:As the potentials and promises of generative AI sweep into the field of Open Education\, educators and advocates have a holistic responsibility to think deeply and expansively about the known and still emerging environmental impacts of these technologies. Demand for energy by the hungry server farms that create so-called artificial intelligence is bringing damaging and dangerous energy practices back from the grave\, including the resurrection of previously shuttered coal and nuclear power plants. How can we as Open practitioners reconcile the long standing historical and contemporary violence of coal and nuclear power production with the desire to widely embrace and experiment with generative AI? This talk will review the most recent research on AI energy demands and the environmental impacts\, as well as provide a brief history and contextualization of the current issues with nuclear waste\, pollution\, and accidents in North America\, primarily in the United States and Canada. Attendees will be invited to reflect deeply on what we stand to lose and gain with the widespread adoption of generative AI in society\, and hopefully leave inspired to mindfully use generative AI\, with its current promise and future perils in mind. \n\n\nSpeaker bio:  \nDr. Marco Seiferle-Valencia serves as Associate Professor and Open Education Librarian at the University of Idaho. His research interests span a wide range of topics\, notably community archives\, the history and current practices of BIPOC feminisms especially in libraries and information environments\, and environmental justice. Marco is also a co-creator of the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Memory Collective\, which collects imperiled histories of Chicana civil rights activism. \n\nDate: Wednesday\, May 14\, 2025 \nTime: 11:00am – 12:00pm \nTime Zone: Saskatchewan Time (CST)

SUMMARY:Keynote: Then. Now. The Future: Directions for Open Education in the Changing World of Higher Education (Dr. Glenda Cox)
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Dr. Glenda Cox will be looking back at the Cape Town open education declaration (2007) and the 10 directions suggested at the 10 year anniversary in 2017. Dr. Cox will include discussions of student protests calling for the decolonisation of the curriculum\, first held in 2015 and now 10 years later where are we in higher education (HE) in South Africa. 2027 will be another 10 years – a 20 year anniversary – what have we achieved and what needs to be added? What will HE look like to 2035? Many of us will be happily retired but the students in the room will the academics of the future. How do we take steps towards the transformation of our current neoliberal\, competitive HE? What steps do we take to include students in decolonising our curricula and where does Open fit in? \n\n\nSpeaker bio: Associate Professor Dr. Glenda Cox works in the Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT: http://www.cilt.uct.ac.za/) at the University of Cape Town. She holds the UNESCO chair in Open Education and Social Justice and is a member of the UNITWIN network on Open Education. She is a Board member of the Open Education Global organization. She is on the editorial board of the International Journal of Students as Partners and she currently leads the Digital Open Textbooks for Development (DOT4D) initiative. \n\nDate: Thursday\, May 15\, 2025 \nTime: 11:00am – 12:00pm \nTime Zone: Saskatchewan Time (CST) \nvia Zoom

SUMMARY:Keynote: Designing for Justice with Open Educational Practices
DESCRIPTION:Whereas the adoption of open educational resources can widen equitable access by helping alleviate the financial burden experienced by students\, the embrace of broader open educational practices carries the potential to advance additional dimensions of social and epistemic justice. This presentation will focus on practical ways in which educators may approach learning resources\, activities\, assessments\, and policies in service of more inclusive\, supportive\, and just learning environments. \n\n\nSpeaker bio: Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani is the Vice Provost\, Teaching and Learning at Brock University\, where he holds faculty appointments in the Departments of Educational Studies and Psychology\, directs the Inclusive Education Research Lab\, and is affiliated with the Social Justice Research Institute. The architect of Canada’s first zero textbook cost degree programs and a global leader in open education\, his scholarship is supported by the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada and focuses on open educational practices\, student-centered pedagogies\, and ethical approaches to educational technology. \n\nDate: Friday\, May 16\, 2025 \nTime: 11:00am – 12:00pm \nTime Zone: Saskatchewan Time (CST) \nvia Zoom
