Open Ed 2016: The Village People: Creating Infrastructure for OER Degree Alisa Cooper
In order to develop an infrastructure to support OER degrees at a large multi-college system, a number of roles have been identified to support the identification and provision of OER courses towards degrees. The roles include a mix of District-level personnel, college administrators, management, faculty, librarians, instructional designers, student services personnel and more.
This panel discussion will provide an opportunity for participants to learn about the roles, responsibilities, successes and lessons learned and how these roles have affected scaling of OER.
The panel will include several people in these roles who will also be able to share their reasons for joining the project and their experiences:
Alisa Cooper, Co-chair Maricopa Millions Project and English Faculty Glendale Community College
Tracey Haynie, Math Faculty, Scottsdale Community College
Hazel Davis, Library Faculty, Rio Salado College
George Gregg, Chemistry Faculty, Glendale Community College
Lisa Worthy, Psychology Faculty, Glendale Community College
Additionally, the members of the audience will be asked to share their models and roles for scaling their OER projects.
There are so many great presentations and so little time at the Open Education Conference so our November webinar is an opportunity to hear highlights from a variety of community college OER projects presented. Each college will share their unique story of promoting the adoption of open educational resources and the benefits and challenges for students and faculty. The Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER) is a community of practice focused on promoting OER adoption to expand access to education while enhancing teaching practices and learning outcomes. Through members sharing successful practices and policies in online and open forums such as our monthly webinars and at conferences across the country, best practices can easily be understood and adopted by newcomers. Hear from our member colleges who have designed effective open educational practices and policies and who walk the talk by sharing them with other colleges.

OTC 2017: Improving Student Success with the California Zero Textbook Cost ...Una Daly
Improving Student Success with California Zero-Textbook-Cost Degree Grant Program
In early 2017, the California Community College Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) awarded 23 college districts funding to plan or create zero-textbook-cost (ZTC) degrees in the continuing effort to improve student access, success, and completion. ZTC degrees consist of an entire pathway of courses culminating in a degree or certificate that have been redesigned by faculty to use open educational resources or zero-cost materials.
Join us to hear from the Chancellor’s office on the vision behind the program and how to apply for the 2nd round of funding to develop additional ZTC degrees. We will also hear from the lead colleges providing statewide technical assistance to ZTC grantees and the work of the statewide Academic Senate OER Task Force to maximize the impact throughout all 113 California community colleges.

NE OER Summit: Community of Practice for Open EducationUna Daly
Developing a Community of Practice for OER Adoption and OER Degrees with the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER)
Description:
Many colleges have developed successful OER initiatives through participation in communities of practice (CoP). Panelists will share information about their OER initiatives and how participation in community activities supports the design of effective open educational practices and policies at their institutions. As part of an ongoing community of practice, members create and freely share knowledge based on experiences at their institutions. This cross-institutional exchange supports new OER adopters and gives them an opportunity to grow into mentors for the next generation of first-time OER adopters.
As OER-based degrees have emerged as a promising new open education practice, CCCOER is working with Achieve the Dream’s OER Degree grantees and other colleges to support the cross-institutional development work and share best practices for successful implementation.
Audience members will be encouraged to share any OER projects in the planning or implementation stage that would benefit from cross-institutional support and get feedback from our panelists.
Panelists:

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.
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
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.
