Hi everyone! The Open Education Network (OEN) is running another Open Pedagogy Learning Circle next semester. If you’re interested in open pedagogy and want to learn more about 1) what it is, and 2) how to do it, I encourage you to consider taking this learning opportunity. I participated in this a few years ago and it was a great experience that helped me to solidify my understanding of open pedagogy. If you do end up applying, I’d love to know so that I can support you in any way that I can.

Dear OEN Community, The Open Pedagogy Learning Circle is a great opportunity for members to: * Build a foundational understanding of open pedagogy. * Discover how open pedagogy can be incorporated in the classroom. * Gain hands-on experience creating a renewable assignment or digital learning object. Natasha Whitton, Associate Professor of History at Baton Rouge Community College, was one of 10 participants in the fall 2025 Learning Circle Show & Tell. She presented her work with Perusall<https://www.perusall.com/>, an online social learning platform, to transform a discussion board assignment that will help her students share thoughts on course materials more freely. Looking back, Natasha says she finds the Learning Circle to be "a warm hug for faculty, staff, and administrators who want to embrace open education inside and outside the classroom." The next Learning Circle begins in February 2026, welcoming members to explore and engage in open pedagogy at no additional cost. Visit the OEN Blog<https://z.umn.edu/aw13> to learn more and sign up on the 2026 Interest List. Thanks!

Revised AI Declaration Statement Pressbook Template
by openkpu＠lists.bccampus.ca 18 Nov '25

18 Nov '25

Hi everyone! If you're working on an open educational resource and have used AI tools during the creation process, we have a new resource to help you document that use transparently. What it is: An AI Declaration Statement template<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/booktemplate/front-matter/ai-declaration-stateme…> that's built right into our Pressbooks OER template. It provides a clear, structured way to disclose how you used AI—whether for brainstorming, content drafting, editing, creating assessments, generating images, or any other part of your OER development. Why document AI use? Transparency helps other faculty who might adopt your resource understand how it was created, addresses copyright and intellectual property considerations, and models good practice for students. The goal isn't to judge how much AI you used—it's simply to communicate openly about your creation process. How to use it: 1. Check out the template: https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/booktemplate/front-matter/ai-declaration-stateme… 2. Use the self-assessment rubric [docx]<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/app/uploads/sites/263/2025/11/AI-Use-Rubric-for-…> to identify your level of AI use for each category 3. Fill in the template with your specific details 4. Include it as a front matter page in your OER The framework [docx]<https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/app/uploads/sites/263/2025/11/AI-Declaration-Fra…> has been adapted specifically for OER creation (not research), so categories include things like assessment design, accessibility features, and media creation—the actual work you're doing. Need help? If you have questions about using the template or want to talk through your AI disclosure, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to provide consultation and support as you work on your OER.
