Open Educational Resources: Building Equity in Education<https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/activity/open-educational-resources-building-equity-in-education/>

Madison Area Technical College Madison, Wisconsin, United States

What are Open Educational Resources (OER) and what role do they play in building equity into the educational landscape? OER goes beyond cost savings and provides customizable content which can reflect historically marginalized voices and viewpoints. This presentation will provide a foundation on what OER are, how they are used, and their importance in equity in education. Practical resources and tips for incorporating diverse content will also be provided.

Athabasca University Athabasca, Alberta, Canada

In this session, you will learn what OER is, where to find it online, and how to assess its quality. We'll also cover the difference between 'free' and 'open' and explore some of the many benefits afforded by OER - as well as some interactive games! Mark your calendars for March 4th at 11am MT for this whirlwind tour of Open Educational Resources.

Generative AI, Open Education, and Climate Catastrophe<https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/activity/ai-open-education-and-climate-marco-seiferle-valencia/>

UC Davis, CA, United States

While AI promises to revolutionize many fields, including education, this technology's unsustainable carbon footprint and other devastating ecological impacts mean that revolutionary progress is far from guaranteed. In fact, the rapid, widespread adoption of energy and resource-hungry AI invites revolutionary regression. This year's talk discusses the environmental impacts of generative AI by examining the often hidden ecological costs of these new tools and asks how we, as open practitioners, can ensure the burgeoning collaboration between AI tools and open education serves learners, teachers, and the environment.
