Scientific knowledge from the Global South is very much underrepresented in the collective scientific output worldwide. This is not different for OA publishing. Therefore DOAJ started an Ambassador programme with the main objectives to clarify the OA publishing landscape and to increase the number of quality OA journals in order to reduce the number of questionable journals in the Global South. Better understanding among the publishers about the differences and potential conflicts between copyright and licensing is vital. By building local CC communities in cooperation with the CC organization, the DOAJ programme could further improve the quality of scholarly publishing in the Global South. Increased usage of Creative Commons licensing will act against the Northern dominance in knowledge sharing.

The Next Decade of Open Access: Moving Beyond Traditional Forms and Functions...Leslie Chan
Keynote presentation at the 3º Simpósio Brasileiro de Comunicação Científica: Perspectivas em Acesso Aberto, http://www.sbcc.ufsc.br 05 e 06 de junho de 2012, Florianópolis (SC) – Brasil.
2012 marks the tenth anniversary of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, a declaration that provided a formal definition of Open Access (OA) and a set of strategies for archiving OA. This talk begins with a review of the major milestones of achievement over the last decade, both globally and with specific attention to Brazil and Latin America, followed by identification of key areas of research communication that remained to be improved. These areas include infrastructural development for e-research, more diverse and transparent metrics for evaluating scholarship, funding and institutional policy alignment, and new forms of scholarly practices and representation. Examples from these areas will be highlighted, with emphasis on areas of collaboration between information scientists and scholars from various fields.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

- What is so difficult about sharing ???
- Mindset: sharing is losing ?? Sharing is being
vulnerable to plagiarism
- Mindset: wanting toprotect your (intellectual) property
- Nothing wrong with that………
but use CC open access licenses
and keep your copyright
- The Platform Economy is growing : a paper is a
merchandise
- For profit publishers restrict sharing
Responses : Open Access, Open Science, Open Data,
Creative Commons licences
Barriers to sharing in science
9. 9
-
- Access for ALL
- More attention, readers, users
- More visibility, more feedback
- Better control of quality
- More cooperation
- More innovation
- More and faster usage
- More possibilities for local knowledge dissemination
- Bridging Knowledge GAP between North & South ?
Advantages of Open Access
10. 10
- journals need an impact factor
- Open Access journals are low quality
- Non English publications are of lower value
- Open Access must have APC
- publishers need copyright to protect works
- Bridging Knowledge GAP between North & South is
automatic with Open Access
Misconceptions in the North
11. 11
- Something free MUST be of lower quality
- Science in the North is the way we must have it in
the Global South too
- Local knowledge is of lower value
- Green Open Access is to be preferred
Misconceptions in Latin America
13. 13
- Free to read and download is enough, no need for
licensing or copyright
- Something free MUST be of low quality
- If you have to pay to be published it is wrong
- selective Open, share only public knowledge
Misconceptions in Asia
15. 15
- Specific differences between anglophone and
francophone countries
- No knowledge of Creative Commons
- If you have to pay to be published it is predatory
- Open Access in the Global South must be
the same as Open Access in the North
- Science in the North is the way we must have it in
the Global South too
- Local knowledge is of lower value
Misconceptions in Africa
17. 17
- Need to publish in impact factor journals
- Very few journals in DOAJ (except Egypt because
of Hindawi)
- Scholars don't have enough understanding of
OpenAccess (licensing and copyright)
- People don’t have a lot of information about CC
governance or their peers in the CC / open
movement
-There is a general lack of government and
publisher policies that include CC licenses
(preferred type of licenses for DOAJ indexed
journals)

18. The Problem with Global Scientific Output
Global scientific publishing, including open access publishing, is still heavily
biased towards journals and authors from the Global North
This has led to a situation where scientific knowledge from the Global South is
very much underrepresented in the collective scientific output worldwide: a
problem which has been described as cognitive injustice
The DOAJ Ambassador Programme acts against this imbalance by promotion of
local language open access journals that will publish a great deal of local
knowledge
19. Definition of Cognitive Justice
The concept of cognitive justice, stemming from the reflections of the Indian
anthropologist Shiv Visvanathan and reworked in the SOHA network (open
science in Haiti and Africa), designates an epistemological, ethical and political
ideal aimed at the emergence and the free circulation of knowledge. socially
relevant all over the planet, not just in the North, in a science that practices
inclusive universalism, open to all knowledge and epistemologies, and not an
allegedly abstract universalism based on Western/ american-centered norms
that exclude what differs from themselves
