ICDE OER Advocacy Committee at OEW24 EDENDLE 7March 2024Ebba Ossiannilsson
GenAI can help improve teaching and learning by providing personalized feedback and recommendations to students based on their progress, strengths and weaknesses. It can analyze large amounts of open educational resources and course materials to help educators develop customized lesson plans and learning paths for different students. By automating certain administrative and repetitive tasks, GenAI also allows teachers to focus more on one-on-one support and guidance for students.
The ICDE OER Advocacy Committee is hosting an event to promote open educational resources on a global scale. Attendees will learn about the committee's role in advocating for OER implementation and how OER aligns with UNESCO's goals of inclusive, equitable education. The agenda includes presentations from the committee chair and ambassadors on global OER initiatives, innovative working groups, and the role of OER in achieving quality education for all as outlined in the UNESCO 2030 Agenda. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a panel discussion and online Padlet forum on transforming education through open resources and removing boundaries to learning.

”The phenomenon of OER is an empowerment
process, facilitated by technology in which
various types of stakeholders are able to
interact, collaborate, create and use materials
and pedagogic practices, that are freely
available, for enhancing access, reducing
costs and improving the quality of education
and learning at all levels”.
