Open Education Week Happenings

Open Education Week was launched in 2012 by Open Education Global as a collaborative, community-built open forum. Every year OE Week raises awareness and highlights innovative open education successes worldwide. OE Week provides practitioners, educators, and students with an opportunity to build a greater understanding of open educational practices and be inspired by the wonderful work being developed by the community around the world. 

Among the hundreds of opportunities from around the world to learn from this week, here are a few examples:

From Free to Usable: The Accessibility Promise of OER presented at UC Davis with featured speaker Katie Healey, founder of the A11Y Project and scholar of disability history. (Tuesday, 2:00pm to 3:00pm)

Open for Antiracism: Trauma informed approaches to open education presenters will discuss blending anti-racist curriculum and trauma informed teaching strategies to create classroom environments that are empathetic and inclusive to students of diverse backgrounds who have experienced trauma. (Wednesday, 1:00pm to 1:45pm)

SUNY Open Education Week is presenting several sessions. Here are a couple of highlights:

  • Federalist Papers Meets AI, presented by Peter Brusoe at SUNY Delhi. This presentation shows how to use free open access tools via the Avalon Project and Grok to help improve students’ understanding of American political thought. (Tuesday, 2:00pm to 3:00pm)
  • Faculty-Driven Innovation for Gateway Course Success using OER-based Courseware presented by Tori Matthews with MCC’s Biology Department. The discussion centers on OER-based (Open Educational Resource) courseware designed to support evidence-based practices — including timely feedback, scaffolding, transparency, and active learning — while reducing faculty workload and promoting uniform course delivery across sections and instructors. (Friday, 12:00pm to 1:00pm)

If you are unable to attend live, many will have recordings available to view later at your convenience.
