Infographic: Awareness of OER and OEP in HE institutions ScotlandOEPScotland
The Open Educational Practices in Scotland (OEPS) Project conducted a survey to find out about the level of awareness of open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP) among HE institutions in Scotland. In total 235 valid responses were collected in a five-week period from 19th October 2015 to 23rd November 2015. This infographic highlights some of the findings.

Abstract
Initiatives supporting the use and creation of open educational resources (OER) can provide cost, access, and student success solutions for higher education. The affordability argument often associated with OER gets significant attention because commercial textbook prices are startling and cost savings accumulate quickly when transitioning to free resources. However, the pedagogical innovation enabled by openness is as highly valued by both educators and their students. In this presentation, we’ll define OER, examine the impact of OER use in higher education, explore values that are fundamental to open education, discuss concepts of information ownership and authority, and highlight examples of open education that have empowered educators, improved information access, and increased student agency.

Building Your Transfer Outreach Action PlanGil Rogers
Recent data from University Business indicates that over half of higher ed administrators anticipate an increase in transfer student enrollment in the coming years. With the continued growth of opportunity comes the increased importance in differentiating your institution.
More and more transfer student recruitment is becoming a critical part to how institutions achieve their enrollment goals. However, traditional practices for finding and engaging transfer students don’t always work.
Leveraging online tools, colleges and universities can save time, save money, and recruit smarter by focusing on three main strategies:
-- Find students actively researching you or are a best fit match based on their profile
-- Leverage retargeting to focus ad impressions on students actively researching you at the height of their interest
-- Utilize mobile and social outreach to build your brand on the specific community college campuses and students you are trying to reach
This presentation uncovers recent research that uncovers how and where prospective transfer students research and prefer to be in contact with the 4-year colleges they are considering.
Get ready to be surprised in this fast paced, top 10 focused session! Based upon the latest Speak Up Project findings from over 415,000 K-12 students, including 34,000 students from California, you will learn how students really want to use mobile devices, social media and digital content to enhance learning - key data you need to inform budgets, programs, policies and instruction.
For the past 14 years, the Speak Up Research Project has collected and reported on the views of 4.5 million K-12 students, educators and parents regarding digital learning. Using current and longitudinal Speak Up data, we will provide new insights into the use of games, mobile devices and digital content within learning, and counter mythology with the authentic views of students, teachers and parents regarding technology use within instruction. Going beyond anecdotes and assumptions, this interactive and eye-opening presentation will provide leaders with new metrics for evaluating the pulse of elearning in their school or district.

The International Standard Name Identifier, or ISNI, was created to identify the millions of contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution, including researchers, inventors, writers, artists, visual creators, performers, producers, publishers, aggregators, and more in order to resolve the problem of name ambiguity in search and discovery. Now, Laura Dawson, Product Manager of Identifier Services at Bowker, will show us how ISNI has developed since the standard was first published in 2012. How is it managed? Who receives numbers? What impact has it had on publishing? And how can it be incorporated into current metadata management and distribution?

The better your metadata, the better your sales: that's the simple truth. Books with complete metadata sell almost three times better than a book with incomplete metadata, so there's a very good reason to learn about how to format and transmit this information to your industry partners. But where to begin?
In this session, Graham Bell, Chief Data Architect at EDItEUR, will offer practical guidance on writing, formatting, and transmitting metadata in accordance with industry standards and best practices, and help to make your metadata work for you.

ISBNs and Identifiers: Standards Basics for the Independent Publishing Commun...bisg
What are identifiers? What purpose do they serve in the book industry?
According to BISG's Best Practices for Identifying Digital Products, an identifier is generally a sequence of alpha-numeric characters that unambiguosly differentiates one thing from another in a particular context.
But while that answer may seem straightforward enough, the fact is there's a lot more to identifiers than one might think.
The book industry employs numerous identifiers for different reasons in its day-to-day operations. This webcast will cover identifiers basics—what they are, how they are developed, and how and why they are used. Special focus will be given to the venerable ISBN and its use in today's digital marketplace, and the difference between the ISBN and proprietary product identifiers.
In this session, Phil Madans, Executive Director Digital Publishing Technology for Hachette Book Group, will discuss how to correctly use identifiers to ensure your books reach the hands of happy readers.

While the industry innovates for the future, the fact remains that next-generation digital educational resources are not being adopted, in any significant way, by this generation's students. Mike Shannon, co-founder of Packback Books, discusses ways that the higher ed companies of today can weather the transition into the future by taking aim at their biggest competition: the secondary market for textbooks.
Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

Campus bookstores are actually trending up (when we consider both in person and online purchases), and – perhaps surprisingly – Amazon is trending down in terms of textbook purchases
Textbook rentals have started to catch on over the past few surveys. Almost 19% of students now indicate that they prefer rental over purchase; 22% say they rent a physical textbook most often for their classes, and 5% now most often rent a digital text.
When it comes to rentals, we’re seeing the opposite trend from the purchase sources we looked at. Amazon has taken off since getting into the rental game and continues to grow quickly.
At least “occasionally”
Would have to be <$50 to get students to purchase instead of copying or downloading. Most are looking for a price around the $20-40 range.
