FW: [Canadaoer] OpenEd Week 2022 - Collaborative Sessions
by Rosario Passos 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

Hi there fellow Open Educators, If any of you is interested in collaborating with Krista from U of Alberta on an event for Open Education Week 2022, get in touch with her: ___________________________________________________________________ Hello Everyone! I'm starting to plan a schedule of events for the University of Alberta's Open Education Symposium. It will be a series of events throughout Open Education Week (Mar 7-11, 2022). I'm looking to do some collaborative sessions with other institutions. The University of Alberta would handle the registration, Zoom hosting, facilitation support, and edit/post the recording. I would ask that we do a joint-introduction to the session and you are welcome to put the registration and zoom on your institution's website, if you wish, to promote as a partnership with UofA rather than sending them to the UofA website. So far, we have a series of lunch-hour lightning talks (3-4 presenters in a 1hr session) being planned with University of Alberta, University of Calgary, and Thompson Rivers University. A growing list of topics we would like to deliver include: * Evaluating the quality of open pedagogies * OER speed-dating! * Open EdTech - tools review * open and participatory technologies * Pressbooks, H5P, and using them in class * "Do open pedagogies have to be either open or closed? What is in the middle?" * ZTC - common barriers when implementing (course-level) * Universal design, OER, and course design * Demo: How to change your course to incorporate OER If you're interested in collaborating, I would love to hear from you! Thanks, -- Krysta McNutt, PMP (she/her<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mypro…>) Open Education Lead, Centre for Teaching and Learning University of Alberta, ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Amiskwacîwâskahikan), Treaty 6/Métis Homelands krystam(a)ualberta.ca<mailto:krystam(a)ualberta.ca> | 780-710-5674 | Subscribe to CTL's Monthly Newsletter<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fualberta.…>
