A presentation by Paul Maharg from April 2010 UKCLE York OER event. The presentation covers OERs and why they're important, case studies, examples and the UKCLE's OER platform: Simshare.
I call this "food for thought". I want faculty to understand why it is important to convert their courses, which use a pricey textbook, to open educational resources (zero cost textbook for students). It isn't just about the money saved, it is also about educational equity.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. What are OERs?
• UNESCO definition:
Open Educational Resources are
teaching, learning or research materials
that are in the public domain or released
with an intellectual property license that
allows for free use, adaptation, and
distribution.
4. How do OERs fit in with other open
stuff?
• Complementary to Open Access, MOOCs and
Research Data Management
• All resources can sit within same platform
(institutional repository)
• Librarian has a role with all of these open
educational trends
• We can lead by example – share our own stuff!
5. Why share Information Literacy
resources?

6. Background: DELILA
• Developing Educators Learning and Information
Literacies for Accreditation
• Cross institutional project to adapt digital and IL
resources to OER
• Improved institutional repositories hosted material
• Encouraged academics to share
• Highlighted a range of challenges when sharing IL
resources as OER
• Project website: http://delilaopen.wordpress.com/
7. Background: April 2012 survey
• To gather information about librarians’ sharing of IL
teaching material
• April 2012 for one month
• 101 responses from UK, Europe, US and beyond
• Findings indicate closed sharing
• Willingness to share openly but don’t know where to
start

• Mailing list IL-OERS@jiscmail.ac.uk
• Wiki: http://iloer.pbworks.com
• Twitter: @CoPILOT2013
11. Sharing research support materials
• Key priority and new opportunity for academic
libraries
• Not a critical mass of resources in the area yet
• Need for professional development for librarians –
new roles, new skills
• Building on existing librarian expertise
12. Where and how to share?
• Is it feasible to share ‘research support’ resources by
uploading them to repositories such as Jorum,
Merlot?
• Should resources by organised by subject /
institution / country / topic / level
• Links or deposit?
13. Progress so far
• CoPILOT training event (more to follow)
▫ raising awareness about Creative Commons
▫ Advice about where to find existing materials
• Slides available:
http://www.slideshare.net/UKCoPILOT
• Creating an online space to share
• Encouraging and supporting the development of a
community of practice
14. Questions?
• What type of IL resources are most useful? Slides,
lesson plans, worksheets, reading lists?
• How should IL resources be catalogued and
organised?
• Where should they be deposited or shared?
• What role is there for institutional repositories?
• What sort of training for research support librarians
should CoPILOT be running?
