OER and GenAI

In this workshop we explore the challenges, contradictions, and opportunities at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Open Educational Resources (OER).

We discuss the potential of AI in generating dynamic content, including interactive textbooks, and its potential in developing open educational resources and practices. We also engage in discussions about the legal and ethical considerations of both AI and open education including copyright, privacy, and open licensing. We also dive into practical exercises, including the co-creation of a textbook chapter and demonstrating the real-world application of AI in OER.

Facilitators:

Will Engle, Strategist, Open Education Initiatives, CTLT

Lucas Wright, Senior Educational Consultant, Learning Technology, CTLT
