Another Kind of Open: What a Community Pow Wow Can Teach Us About Openness
Tuesday October 27, 2026 12:15pm - 12:55pm EDT
V5
Open education often emphasizes digital access and sharing, but I’ve been thinking more about the relationships that actually make openness possible. In this session, I reflect on a community Pow Wow hosted at Cambrian College as an example of “another kind of open.”

As someone working in reconciliation education, I’ve come to see the Pow Wow as more than an event. It’s a space where learning happens through connection, respect, and reciprocity, a space where social justice and intercultural exchange are lived and felt. I see Indigenous pride and allyship in action. Helpers each play a unique role in creating an inclusive space rooted in Anishinaabe culture.

The Pow Wow encourages me to question the idea that openness is primarily digital, and to think about how the ethos of open education lives in relationships and community practices. I’ll invite attendees to reflect on how these observations might influence their own work and understanding of openness beyond the screen.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Describe how a community Pow Wow can function as a site of relational learning and “another kind of open”.
  • Reflect on how relationships, roles, and responsibilities shape meaningful open practices.
  • Identify ways that openness can extend beyond digital spaces into community-based contexts.
  • Consider how reconciliation education, allyship, and Indigenous-led spaces can inform their understanding of open education.
  • Apply insights from this session to re-think their own approaches to openness in their teaching or work.

From Essays to Evidence: Open Assessment and Critical Thinking in the Age of AI
Tuesday October 27, 2026 12:15pm - 12:55pm EDT
V2
As generative AI disrupts traditional assumptions about student writing, many instructors have responded with increased control and surveillance. This session argues for an alternative solution grounded in open education and assessment literacy. Drawing on a redesign of an ENG101 course, the presentation explores a shift from teaching essay writing as a product to using essays as representations of critical thinking within a transparent assessment framework. The session highlights a critical gap in higher education: limited faculty preparation in designing valid and reliable instruments for measuring learning. By clarifying learning constructs, aligning assignments with evidence claims, and openly sharing rubrics and criteria, this approach improves transparency, equity, and instructional coherence. The session positions open assessment as a necessary evolution of open education and a pedagogically sound response to AI.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Explain why traditional essay-based assessments often produce invalid or unreliable inferences about student critical thinking, especially in AI-mediated learning environments.
  • Identify the key components of an open assessment framework, including construct definition, evidence alignment, and transparent criteria.
  • Describe how open education principles—such as transparency, shared practice, and learner agency—apply to the design of assessments, not just course materials.
  • Recognize common misconceptions about measuring learning (e.g., equating product quality with cognitive processes) and how these misconceptions contribute to inequity.
  • Articulate how openly shared rubrics, prompts, and assessment criteria can improve instructional coherence and support AI-resilient, equity-centered teaching practices.

Finding Your Accessibili-Buddies
Tuesday October 27, 2026 2:00pm - 2:40pm EDT
V2
For some, accessibility and the Title II requirements are a requirement that feels like an insurmountable feat. For others, accessibility is the window into stronger instructional design and along the way - connections to colleagues that inspire, connect and unite us. Open Education's tenants of inclusion, iteration and innovation have long driven advances in the Educational Technology world, but it's the opportunity to genuinely work together in small groups, finding new partners along that way that centers Open Ed colleagues as leaders in the accessibility movement. This panel will allow you to hear from and ask questions of people who are creating spaces for moving beyond compliance of Title II and into the space of creating genuinely accessible OER. This panel will spark your connections to other like-minded leaders who see Accessibility as a "how might we..." opportunity and lead to finding your own Accessibili-buddies.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Participants will receive an update on Accessibility Practices as related to OER.
  • Participants will analyze example collaboration resources for building Accessibility Communities of Practice.
  • Participants will reflect on their own questions about creating Accessible OER to consider next steps they might take.
  • Participants will join a broader community of colleagues who are committed to Accessible OER.

Critical Open Educational Practices: Educators Redesigning Courses for Meaningful Change
Tuesday October 27, 2026 3:00pm - 3:25pm EDT
V5
What would it look like if every course you taught was more inclusive, more transparent, and more centered on the learners in front of you? At a time when educators are being asked to do more with less, and to do it more equitably, Critical Open Educational Practices (Critical OEPs) offer a framework for meaningful change. This session centers the practitioner experience of seven MinnState educators who arrived at Critical OEPs through different pathways, and whose engagement with the framework affirmed their values, expanded their practice, and moved their teaching in new directions. Grounded in four pillars, collaborative dialogue, critical reflection, inquiry-based learning, and transformative action, Critical OEPs offer a path toward pedagogical transformation. This session explores how educators negotiated authority, practiced equity, and sustained change within institutional constraints. Attendees will reflect on their practice and leave with concrete ideas for their classrooms.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Identify the four pillars of Critical OEPs and connect them to their own existing teaching practices.
  • Describe how educators negotiated authority, equity, and learner agency within real institutional constraints.
  • Articulate at least one concrete next step for deepening their engagement with Critical OEPs in their own classroom.

Between Hype and Practice: Faculty Perceptions of AI in OER Creation
Wednesday October 28, 2026 9:30am - 9:55am EDT
V4
Generative AI promises to transform OER by easing creation, adaptation, and discovery, potentially overcoming traditional barriers like time. Yet faculty navigate a complex "space between" institutional enthusiasm and classroom realities. This mixed-methods study, part of the OER Research Fellow Program with Hewlett Foundation support, surveys faculty on using tools like ChatGPT for course materials and OER. Grounded in UTAUT2 (explaining technology adoption via usefulness, ease, social influence), it examines what drives or hinders adoption. Quantitative analysis reveals patterns in performance expectancy, trust, effort, and ethical concerns. Focus groups unpack nuances: How do faculty verify AI outputs? When is AI-assisted OER "good enough" for the classroom? Join as we explore these intersections. Attendees will see survey results, hear anonymized faculty voices, and discuss implications for OER programs and policy. Perfect for OER practitioners seeking evidence-based insights.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Identify key factors (from UTAUT2) shaping faculty perceptions of using generative AI to create and adapt course materials.
  • Discuss ethical concerns faculty express about AI-generated or AI-assisted course materials, such as authorship, accuracy, and transparency.
  • Describe implications of faculty perceptions for teaching centers, instructional design, and institutional AI policy.

Breaking the Gilded Cage: Bridging the Space Between Educational Legality and Open Accessibility
Wednesday October 28, 2026 9:30am - 9:55am EDT
V2
Global contexts often present a rigid gap between the right to education and restrictive enrollment regulations. Drawing on two decades of higher education administration expertise, this session explores how systemic quotas stifle learning, offering a global perspective on a shared institutional challenge.

Designed for higher education administrators, policy developers, and open education coordinators, this session proposes a transferable 4-stage roadmap. We examine scalable solutions, including community-based learning for capacity constraints, reimagining secondary benchmarks, and institutional qualifying tracks. Attendees will gain systemic insights into shifting from capacity-based admission to an open, digital-first ecosystem. We conclude with lessons on how professional licensing maintains quality while enabling radical accessibility, helping participants navigate structural bottlenecks within their own institutions.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Identify the legislative and administrative bottlenecks that hinder educational equity and enrollment in traditional systems.
  • Explain how "Community Schools" and decentralized models can effectively address resource scarcity and school overcrowding.
  • Analyze a multi-stage roadmap for transitioning from "capacity-based" admission to a "competency-based" educational ecosystem.
  • Evaluate the role of Open Education and digital production in bypassing physical infrastructure constraints for higher education.
  • Propose a framework for decoupling academic degrees from professional licensing to ensure both quality and radical inclusivity.

Connecting Open Educational Resources to K-12 in Dual Enrollment
Wednesday October 28, 2026 11:15am - 11:55am EDT
V4
Dual enrollment is expanding rapidly, but textbook costs remain a hidden barrier that limits who can participate and which courses are offered. In many states, responsibility for these costs is unclear, creating uneven access for students and programs.

Open Educational Resources (OER) offer a powerful opportunity to close this gap by eliminating textbook costs and enabling more flexible, relevant learning experiences. Yet adoption in dual enrollment remains uneven, shaped by policy, partnerships, and faculty support.

This session shares findings from multi-state research led by MHEC and SREB, bringing together policy analysis and practitioner perspectives. Featuring both researchers and educators, we will explore how OER can bridge the gap between access and opportunity in dual enrollment.

Participants will leave with practical strategies to support adoption, strengthen cross-sector collaboration, and expand access to college coursework for all learners.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Understand how textbook costs impact access to dual enrollment and how OER can reduce these barriers.
  • Analyze how policy and funding structures influence OER adoption in dual enrollment programs.
  • Identify practical strategies to support faculty adoption of OER across K–12 and higher education partnerships.
  • Explore approaches for aligning OER with dual enrollment curriculum, quality expectations, and student needs.
  • Apply actionable ideas to expand equitable access to dual enrollment through OER in their own institutional or program context.

OER That Don’t Look Like OER: Designing Learning That Meets Students Where They Are
Wednesday October 28, 2026 5:15pm - 5:55pm EDT
V5
Students today engage with learning in spaces like short-form video, podcasts, interactive apps, and social media, yet many open educational resources still rely on traditional formats like textbooks and PDFs. This workshop challenges that assumption by exploring how OER can be reimagined in formats students already use and enjoy.

Participants will explore strategies for creating non-traditional OER, including social-media-style content, audio, interactive media, comics, and microlearning modules, while emphasizing practical ways to maintain openness, accessibility, and impact.

A hands-on activity invites participants to take a concept and reimagine it as a short video, microlearning chunk, podcast segment, or visual/comic resource, collaborate to share ideas, and reflect on engagement and accessibility. Designed for instructors, designers, librarians, and open education advocates, this session provides actionable ideas to create resources that truly meet learners where they are.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Identify non-traditional OER formats, such as social-media-style content, audio resources, interactive media, comics, and microlearning modules, and explain how these formats can increase learner engagement and accessibility.
  • Take a concept or learning objective and reimagine it in a format that aligns with learners’ habits and preferred platforms.
  • Evaluate how different formats support diverse learners, promote accessibility, and enhance meaningful engagement with content.
  • Outline practical steps for adapting or creating OER in non-traditional formats, including starting small, layering formats, and co-creating with learners.

From Silos to Shared Strategy: K-12 and Higher Ed OER in Conversation
Thursday October 29, 2026 2:00pm - 2:55pm EDT
V2
Open education often lives in the “space between”—but one of the least examined divides is between K–12 and higher education. Why have these OER ecosystems largely developed in parallel, and what would it take to align them toward a shared national agenda?

This interactive panel brings state leaders into conversation across sectors to surface the tensions and opportunities at that boundary. K–12 OER is shaped by standards alignment, district adoption, and system-level funding, while higher ed centers faculty autonomy and affordability. Where do these models clash—and where might they connect?

Panelists will engage the audience in tackling shared challenges—accessibility, sustainability, awareness, and responsible AI use—while exploring practical points of alignment, from pre-service teacher preparation to dual enrollment course design. The goal: move beyond comparison to identify where collaboration is necessary, and possible.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Identify key policy and practice differences shaping OER in K–12 and higher education.
  • Examine why these systems have evolved in parallel—and where alignment is emerging or possible.
  • Compare state and organizational strategies for sustaining OER across distinct governance and funding models.
  • Explore shared challenges across sectors.
  • Apply cross-sector insights to opportunities such as pre-service teacher preparation and dual enrollment.
  • Engage in dialogue to identify practical strategies for building a more connected, national OER agenda.

In this presentation, I will explore how student-created virtual galleries can occupy the “space between” access and creation in Art and Art History education. Using Open Educational Resources (OER), students move beyond passive viewing to become curators, interpreters, and creators of visual culture, a more active space where we want students to be. Students will also learn how to see and understand broader visual culture as well.

During this session, participants will learn how to facilitate an environment where they move beyond their typical role as a passive observer to actively design virtual exhibitions that explore narratives, construct themes, or challenge traditional art and cultural narratives. Students will use OER materials for this project, including open source images and virtual presentation platforms. The resulting virtual galleries exist in the “space between” the museum and the classroom and the student and the curator.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Create adaptable project ideas that promote student agency, equitable access to art, and multifaceted engagement with Art, Art History, and Visual Culture.
  • Construct and share OER materials based on designing virtual gallery exhibitions where students can become curators.
  • Develop multiple ways in which students can move from passive observers to active participants in the art world.
  • Apply strategies for guiding students in selecting, interpreting, and contextualizing artworks within a thematic exhibition.
  • Integrate digital tools (e.g., website builders or virtual exhibit platforms) to facilitate accessible and engaging student exhibitions.

Designing an Open Tutorial for Accessible Lecture Capture Using Embedded Audio Description
Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
View Anytime
This session presents the design, pilot testing, and dissemination of an open tutorial that trains faculty to integrate embedded audio description (AD) into lecture capture videos. Grounded in digital accessibility and universal design principles, the tutorial positions AD as an extension of existing teaching and recording practices rather than an added burden. Beyond improving accessibility for learners with disabilities, the session argues that targeted training in accessible multimedia production can substantially enhance the overall quality, clarity, and usability of OER video content. Data from a pre–post study—including survey outcomes and think-aloud reflections—will illustrate changes in faculty knowledge, self-efficacy, and implementation intentions. The tutorial will be released as a Creative Commons–licensed OER, enabling broad reuse and adaptation.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Describe the role of embedded audio description in enhancing accessibility of lecture capture videos.
  • Explain how accessible multimedia practices can improve the overall quality of OER artifacts.

Embedding Openness and Flexibility for Adaptive Schooling in K-12 Education: Pathways & Constraints
Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
View Anytime
Openness and flexibility remain insufficiently integrated in mainstream K–12 education, even though several of their elements are already visible in fragmented forms. This session examines how principles and practices of open education may be meaningfully integrated into school education, while also recognizing the pedagogical, structural, and administrative constraints that shape such possibilities. Situated in the Indian context, the session draws on a systematic literature review and findings from a learner perception survey to explore how openness and flexibility may support more inclusive, adaptive, and continuity-oriented schooling. It further considers which dimensions of openness are already present in school education, which may be meaningfully integrated, and which continue to remain constrained within existing systems. In doing so, the session moves beyond advocacy for flexibility to examine its practical usefulness, perceived value, and systemic limits in school education.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Participants will develop a clearer understanding of openness and flexibility in K–12 education and how these relate to open schooling, conventional schooling, and other educational modalities.
  • Participants will identify existing school practices and structures that reflect elements of openness in partial or fragmented forms, such as flexible pathways, inclusive design, and learner-centred approaches.
  • Participants will gain insight into how findings from the systematic literature review and learner perception survey inform the possibilities of greater openness and flexibility in K–12 schooling.
  • Participants will critically reflect on the pedagogical, structural, administrative, and policy-related challenges involved in integrating openness and flexibility into mainstream school education.
  • Participants will identify possible pathways through which openness, flexibility, and technology-enabled practices may support more adaptive and continuity-oriented K–12 education.

Expanding Education: Narrative Role-Playing Games and Open Education Resources
Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
View Anytime
Despite growing interest in game‑based learning and the rising cultural popularity of role‑playing games (RPGs), most narrative RPG materials remain commercially produced and sold, making them difficult to license and adapt for educational use. As a result, educators and education researchers interested in narrative roleplay often rely on purchased systems, create their own materials from scratch, or attempt to adapt the limited number of existing RPG‑focused OERs, many of which may not suit their specific teaching contexts or learner needs. This lightning talk briefly highlights the unique capacity of narrative roleplay to foster intrinsic motivation, agency, and engagement across age groups. The session then explores existing RPG OERs and research‑informed entry points that educators can use to navigate this emerging area of open, narrative‑driven pedagogy, and, if inspired, contribute to the development of new, openly shared narrative RPG tools.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Define key components of game-based learning, including distinctions between gamification, game-based learning, and gameful learning, and describe how these approaches differ in goals and implementation.
  • Articulate the pedagogical promise of narrative role-playing games, particularly their capacity to support learner motivation, agency, collective meaning-making, and engagement with complex ideas through storytelling and play.
  • Identify existing open educational resources related to narrative RPGs, as well as gaps in current literature and resource availability, in order to imagine how their own teaching, research, or open education work might contribute to this emerging area.

Harnessing OER to Support Production and Provision of Juvenile Titles in Underserved Languages
Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
View Anytime
Imagine a world where you grow up never having enough to read. This is the reality for many children who speak minority or indigenous languages (hereafter “underserved languages”). The scarcity of juvenile titles (fiction, non-fiction, videos, games, audio books, etc.) in their own languages is a persistent barrier to learning. We invite collaborators to a research group with the goal of building and expanding processes for creators—writers, editors, illustrators, and translators—who can benefit from networking and professional development and learning to use Creative Commons licensing and other OA policies and practices. We wish to amplify collaborative efforts by creators to increase available titles in underserved languages. Our central goals are to establish a design for a replicable, democratic, and participatory multilingual collaborative and to analyze the design process. We will share a pilot that we have conducted in 2026 with speakers of Yoruba and Burmese in Indiana, USA.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Participants will gain specific knowledge about the gaps in access to literacy and learning materials for learners who speak underserved languages around the world.
  • Participants will learn about storytelling and story creation efforts in Indiana that we have begun with Yoruba and Burmese speakers.
  • Participants will be invited to join scholarly and practical efforts to share practices and ideas for developing and providing juvenile titles in underserved languages in areas that are of concern to them.

Making It Local, OER in Papua New Guinea a Localisation and Expansion Case Study
Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
View Anytime
Many communities in low resource areas could benefit from access to the content available in OER materials if only they were able to access them. While this content is technically free the act of connecting to the internet and downloading it still presents a barrier in terms of economics and infrastructure in many parts of the world. Offline servers filled with OER are part of the solution to fill that gap. A large variety of groups work to collate materials and create servers with localized wi-fi networks that will work in low resource environments.

This talk focuses on a new partnership between the distributors of one offline server and the government of a low-income country. Following their progress to design a localized build that encompasses the required curriculum and local language needs as well as distribute their devices in one of the most geographically challenging environments in the world.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Greater understanding of partnerships between volunteers, NGO’s and Government bodies.
  • Describe and reproduce the steps for localization of OER content.
  • Describe and reproduce the steps for distributing OER servers.

Performing Open: Theatre, Zines, and Pedagogy in the Space Between
Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
View Anytime
Performing arts classrooms are inherently collaborative, adaptive, and co-creative; however, they are rarely framed as sites of open pedagogy. This session argues that theatre and performance-based disciplines do not simply accommodate open practices; they embody them.

Drawing on the idea of open pedagogy as participatory and learner-driven, this presentation repositions performance as open knowledge-making. Students interpret, remix, and co-create meaning for audiences, aligning closely with open values.

Using a student-created zine project as a case study, this session explores how ephemeral performance can become tangible, shareable artifacts. Central to this work is student agency and consent: learners choose if and how their work is shared.

Attendees will gain a framework for designing open, participatory learning in creative and performance-based classrooms.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Articulate how core elements of performance (collaboration, interpretation, audience engagement) align with open pedagogy principles.
  • Analyze the role of student agency and consent in ethical open educational practices.
  • Evaluate the opportunities and tensions of applying open pedagogy within embodied and arts-based classrooms.
  • Consider assignments that position students as co-creators of knowledge in creative or non-traditional formats.

Reducing Students’ Psychological Distance From Climate Change: Design of an Open Mapping Assignment
Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
View Anytime
This session introduces an open (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) climate distance mapping assignment designed to help students connect climate change to places, systems, and near-future conditions relevant to their lives. Drawing on the concept of psychological distance, we examine why students may understand climate change but struggle to situate it in their own contexts.

Participants will learn how assignment design can reduce abstraction without pressuring students toward personal or potentially traumatic disclosure. The session demonstrates how structured choice allows students to engage at varying levels of personal proximity while still making meaningful, place-based and life-path connections.

Educators, instructors, and those teaching late high school and introductory college courses may find this session most useful.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Explain how psychological distance influences students’ perceptions of climate change.
  • Identify why students may struggle to connect climate change to their own lives.
  • Model assignment design that reduces abstraction without requiring personal disclosure for students.

Sowing Discord for Iterative Discovery: AI Roundtables Built on Friction
Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
View Anytime
Ask generative AI a question, and you get a confident answer. What you don't get is a second read, a dissenting take, a reason to dig deeper. When open educators use AI to create and remix resources that others will reuse, that untested confidence travels with the work.

The counterintuitive fix? Sow discord. Not by asking AI to see both sides, but by designing personas with named stakes that structurally conflict, then putting them in the same room. When multiple perspectives are built for friction, disagreement surfaces ideas neither would reach alone. Then run the output back through a critical lens, round after round, until what remains has been earned by both sides.

Open educators make decisions alone that deserve a panel, and this roundtable method convenes one on demand. Attendees leave with a replicable roadmap for building and running their own expert panel, no subject matter expertise required.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Explain why single-prompt AI use produces untested confidence and why that matters when the work will be reused by others.
  • Apply the roundtable method by assigning personas with structurally conflicting stakes to surface complex ideas no single perspective could reach alone.
  • Use iterative review loops to pressure-test AI output and recognize what repeated scrutiny reveals that a single pass misses.

The Interstitium: An Emergent Practice for the Spaces Between
Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
View Anytime
Western scientists recently “discovered” a new organ in our bodies: the Interstitium. This collagen scaffolding had long been discarded by conventional medicine and belief systems as static and generally in the way. However, a fresh look with modern tools at LIVING tissue (!) revealed that the Interstitium has myriad life-sustaining functions, previously unrecognized or underappreciated. It activates the Spaces Between within our bodies.

The Interstitium is also a powerful metaphor and a generative frame of reference for situations where reciprocal flows of knowledge, creativity, and care are vital yet unnoticed. This metaphor, brought to light in a 2023 Radiolab podcast, has spurred a growing community of practice for “Interstitionaries” who do this essential but often unsung bridging work. In this talk, I’ll introduce the Interstium as metaphor and methods, and highlight how its methods (including a self-assessment and discussion prompts) might serve the open education community.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Understand the Interstitium as an inspiring and useful metaphor for any socially-connected work.
  • Use the Interstitium model and its practices to help unlock new approaches for relational and recognition challenges and opportunities in open education work.

Visible Impact: Creating Effective Alt Text With Students
Thursday October 29, 2026 4:00pm - 4:10pm EDT
View Anytime
Alternative text (alt text) is important, though often a secondary thought, when creating digital resources. When creating open educational resources, the written content is often the focus, with visuals added to support it. Accessibility requirements mandate that written descriptions be added to visual content in educational resources. With recent advances in AI, many are using AI to generate alt text for images in OERs. This can be done relatively quickly, but still requires significant time for reviewing, editing, and correctly inserting alt text so screen readers can access it and provide detailed descriptions. This talk advocates working with students to develop alt text to focus on the educational component of OERs. Students are eager to work with faculty on meaningful projects and can successfully develop alt text and assess its effectiveness. This talk will discuss how to do this, the benefits, and the challenges.

Attendees of this session will be able to:
  • Develop and refine alternative text.
  • Incorporate students in the process of developing and refining alternative text.
  • Encourage student involvement in OER development and creation.
