Overview

This 4-part learning lab explores the evolving intersection of generative AI and Open Educational Resources (OER). Participants will evaluate the transformative potential of AI in enhancing OER creation, curation, and adaptive learning, while also addressing the ethical, legal, and pedagogical challenges that accompany its use. Through a balance of theory, practical application, and collaborative discussion, attendees will develop strategies for integrating AI into their OER initiatives. Key focus areas include addressing bias and transparency, ensuring quality and equity, and navigating intellectual property concerns. By the end of the workshop, participants will have designed actionable, context-specific plans for AI-OER integration.
