🎙️ The desk of a podcaster 🙈
Had a wonderful conversation with Dr Mais Fatayer and Dr Julian Pakay, today, all about using OER to address teaching challenges and whether there are some things open ed can do that AI can’t 🤔
Keep an eye out for Julian’s episode of #SpeakingOfOpen coming soon to earbuds near you 🤩
I’m off to go translate all these notes into a legible format so we can get this episode to you before the month is out 🥳

Heute beim Workshop zur "Zukunft des Publizierens" in den Rechtswissenschaften und bei @openrewi, in Potsdam.
Mit @mrchristian habe ich Perspektiven der @tibhannover auf #ScholarLed Open Educational Ressources (#OER) und insbesondere #OpenTextBooks beigetragen.
Danke für die wunderbare Diskussion, @elleneuler, @georgfischer, @jmiba, @girl_friday, @lasseramson, @philippfalkenburg, @TimSchilderoth und allen anderen! (Leider nicht dabei: @MaxPe)
🥳 Another wonderful presentation on the #LibreVerse and the ADAPT homework system from Delmar Larsen of @LibreTexts at the #OpenTexas conference this evening/morning. Always inspiring and always something cool in the works. This time, it’s 3D modelling and paper-to-virtual molecular structure diagrams (my non-chemist brain described that as best it could) 🙈 Can’t wait to see the ADAPT app released soon, too! 🤩

At #OENEngage24, Meggie Mapes of the The University of Kansas is co-presenting Open Education Network’s Train-the-Trainer: Intro to OER Adoption Workshop. She observes, "People don’t know what they don’t know. When your faculty ask where they can find open textbooks, consider referring them to the Open Textbook Library."
The Open Textbook Library offers more than 1,500 #opentextbooks in 12 academic subjects.
