SUMMARY:Open Publishing with Docsify-This: An Interactive Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in exploring the system-independent format of Markdown for online OER content without any website setup or build process? How about seamlessly embedding constraint-free Markdown/HTML into multiple platforms (e.g. LMS or CMS)? The open-source project Docsify-This.net (based on Docsify.js.org) provides an easy on-ramp to publishing\, sharing and reusing open Markdown content! \nWith Docsify-This you can instantly turn any publicly available Markdown file into a responsive standalone web page\, and multiple Markdown files can even be linked together to provide a simple website. The visual appearance of displayed pages can be altered by using the point-and-click Web Page Builder or URL parameters. When creating your own Markdown content you can also use a set of supported Markdown CSS classes. In addition\, if GitHub or Codeberg are used to store Markdown files an “Edit this Page” link can be automatically provided for each page to support collaborative authoring. \nThis 30-minute session is a chance to chat with the author of Docsify-This\, Paul Hibbitts\, see examples of Docsify-This at work\, and ask any questions you might have about the project and it’s possible uses.

SUMMARY:Interview: OER and Social Justice – Glenda Cox
DESCRIPTION:The interview highlights the intersections of open education and social justice\, emphasising the potential and challenges posed by generative AI. While AI can exacerbate the digital divide by benefiting higher-income countries with better infrastructure\, open education remains a critical tool for ensuring equitable access to learning materials through OER. Additionally\, the interview emphasises the importance of student co-creation in knowledge production while noting the need for government policies that promote transformational justice by integrating open education into national frameworks.

SUMMARY:Interview: OER and Student Advocacy – Gino Fransman
DESCRIPTION:In this interview\, Gino Fransman discusses the Open Education Influencers (OEIs) project\, which empowers students to advocate for and engage with OER at Nelson Mandela University in South Africa and beyond. He emphasises the role of student advocates in promoting OER adoption\, creation\, and licensing while linking open education to broader social justice goals like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). He highlights the need for more diverse representation in open education\, warns of the risks of underrepresentation in AI-driven language models\, and encourages collaboration among institutions to reduce barriers\, increase student engagement\, and enhance lifelong learning opportunities.

SUMMARY:Interview: OER in the Pacific – Shikha Raturi
DESCRIPTION:In this interview\, Dr Shikha Raturi discusses the evolution of OER in the Pacific\, emphasising the role of regional collaborations\, institutional policies\, and government support. She highlights key initiatives\, such as Fiji’s early adoption of an OER policy and the University of the South Pacific’s engagement in localisation efforts to ensure cultural relevance. Challenges include the slow pace of localisation\, the need for greater teacher training\, and the importance of policy development and capacity building. She recommends systematic policy implementation\, resource development\, and continuous monitoring and research to enhance OER adoption in the region.

SUMMARY:Interview: OER and Localisation – Professor Lynne Bowker
DESCRIPTION:In this interview\, Professor Bowker emphasises the importance of localisation in OER\, noting that adapting language and cultural references increases student engagement. She highlights AI-driven automatic translation as a promising tool for localisation but stresses that human intervention is necessary for cultural adaptation\, accuracy\, and relevance. Collaboration among faculty\, language experts\, and students is key to effective localisation\, ensuring both linguistic and contextual appropriateness. She recommends using technology alongside human expertise\, piloting OER with students for feedback\, and fostering interdisciplinary teamwork to enhance the accessibility and impact of localised educational materials.
