#oer24

Hi to anyone attending #OER24 - here's a small conference gift for those interested in #OER, #OEP, and #AI or #AIEd

In 2024 members of the Global OER Graduate Network have collaborated to produce...

(You might need to zoom out!)

This is an emergent and complex area of scholarship with many dimensions, and we attempt to capture the zeitgeist around research, teaching and learning and the many related elements. It's not the full story, but it's a start.

The hope is that this work can help us to identify pressing areas of scholarship and research practice - perhaps it can do the same for you!

After hearing about decolonization narratives and the need to actively support an equitable #OER movement at #OpenEd23 yesterday, you might want to learn more! Check out this article out now from @farrow, Tim Coughlan, Fereshte Goshtasbpour, and Beck Pitt: "Supported Open Learning and Decoloniality: Critical Reflections on Three Case Studies."

@CathyCasserly Thanks Cathy! This work is unrelated to today's presentation. But I think it adds some value to the overall picture and understanding. Happy to chat about it after the presentation if you're around!

I am ecstatic to share a call for chapter proposals for an edited volume with the working title "Open Movements: Recognizing Challenges and Building Connections!"
The full call can be viewed in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_m7WBRx74m6tlp4S7icpgnrGzFD8POZyfUmLlI04iHI/edit#heading=h.o47anm79bbsq

New publication advances understanding of #OER impact on learners through meta-analysis. I was happy to contribute to what I think will be an important paper! Check it out #oeglobal23 #go_gn10

Hi! This conversation happened in March but I only just saw it now... I guess I have not yet integrated Mastodon into my flow! I

I definitely think we need to be circumspect about all this, but we still have to get involved. If we don't, commercial providers will fill the space and it will be harder to be heard.

In Europe the tone is likely to be set by the EU AI Act, but this is truggling with the pace of change and domains of application.

It could be years before norms are established, but I think this process goes quicker with more transparency and openness. Ultimately this is not what companies trying to make money want to see, so there is an interesting tension framing this going forward...

Currently 2 paragraphs away from completing my SFHEA evidence case... don't underestimate how much work goes into these...

I'm ready for Baldur's Gate III

CFP: Special Issue "Open Educational Practices for AI in Education" https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/special_issues/5YR564U319

New publication: Openness in Education as a Praxis: From Individual Testimonials to Collective Voices
https://openpraxis.org/articles/10.55982/openpraxis.15.2.574

This collective endeavor seeks an answer to the following question: Why is Openness in Education important, and why is it critically needed at this moment?

Mastodon is definitely growing on me but I'm finding it hard to include another social media platform in everything...

I was happy to contribute to this paper, 'Speculative Futures on ChatGPT and Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI): A Collective Reflection from the Educational Landscape'

The #copyright implications of #ChatGPT and other AI are pretty interesting. In the US, the Copyright Office won't register a copyright for purely AI-generated content (see https://bit.ly/3JXLyWW), but will for works that adapt and modify AI-generated content: https://petapixel.com/2022/09/27/ai-generated-artwork-is-copyrighted-for-the-first-time/.

Just as with #OER and #creativecommons licenses, the notions of attribution and delineating modifications needs to filter out into general copyright law when human vs. machine creation of content is at issue.
