AI and the Future of Openness: Insights from the DOERS AI+OER Project

@KathyEssmiller, @keetonbrown-c , Evgenia Falenkova, @jojok , Liza Long, Katya Mueller, @JudithSebesta , @tiffanikreardon

This group had an excellent panel discussion about their publication, AI + OER Case Studies: A DOERS Project.

The case studies are organized around three key ideas:

  • Shared Values
  • Shared Practices
  • Shared Future

I have a lot of thoughts that I have not had time to process, so for now I’m just sharing resources!

Katya Mueller shared the Open Pedagogy Incubator

Judith Sebesta shared the course Navigating the Future: Open Education with Generative AI

Tiffani Tijerina shared the book Open Technical Communication, 2e and Jeanne Beatrix Law’s “Rhet Shots” and Ethical Wheel of Prompting

In the Q&A, Liza Long shared Stanford’s Co-STORM.

I feel like I missed a ton of good stuff in the moment. Does anyone else have takeaways from this session?
